Over the years RTJ Sports have helped a large amount of people with their triathlon training as well as general fitness coaching. Here are a selection of testimonials that we have received.

Testimonial #1

Hi Rose,

Thank-you very much for sending all these documents through. I really enjoyed the swim camp and I think it has re-energised my swimming. In my own head, I always found that my swimming was at its best when I got three things right: 1. Having good rhythm; 2 & 3. Being ‘long and strong’ in the water – what essentially is balance and a good catch and propulsion. I think I arrived with reasonable rhythm, but I certainly wasn’t ‘long or strong’ in the water. The underwater videos and all those balance and catch drills, plus Ben’s coaching from the side really helped me improve this area and I feel much stronger as a result – thank-you.

I’ve been in Malta for the past week and done a number of open water swims and have felt really good in the water. I’m not quite there yet as some of the elements are not in my subconscious yet and if I’m not concentrating I slip back into some old habits, but it’s definitely coming along – just more practice required!

Thanks again for a great week, we would hope to be back again in future,

Best wishes,

Ben.

Testimonial #2

Hi Rose,

thanks for this! Jane and I did Day 1 today and both agreed we wouldn’t have pushed ourselves so much if we hadn’t had the programme. Day 2 tomorrow…

Testimonial #3

Hi Rose,

I’d just like to say a big “Thank You” to both you and Terry for the fabulous swim camp at CLS. I had a thoroughly enjoyable time and learnt a lot. I am now looking forwards to putting your training schedule in to practice…..

As always, after a course such as yours, thoughts turn to future plans and as I sit here in Derbyshire looking out at the rain I’m already contemplating plans for 2016 holidays!

Best Regards

Fran.

Testimonial #4

Hi Rose and Terry

Thank you for all your help I so enjoyed the course.

I just wanted to let you know that I competed today in a half iron man and fished the swim in 38 mins ,1900metres open water which is great for me to finish with a group of people rather than being last .

Hope to see you both again,

Sarah Wilkins

Testimonial #5

Thank you for your patience & guidance over the weekend. My biggest fear was that I would feel ‘on my own’ but that was not the case for a single moment! It made such a difference being in the pool alongside the girls who were of a comparable standard to me, encouraging each other & not feeling isolated – this is what I’ve missed most since the Cefn Hengoed sessions finished. I now need to find some way of recapturing the spirit of the weekend & perhaps liaise with Julie or Alison to push things forward (I’m sure they’ll feel the same). Your coaching, as always, was so supportive & understanding of what was running through my mind. I implicitly trust what you tell me. This in turn makes me know I must do it. This doesn’t happen when I’m ‘instructed’ by other people (I won’t use the word coached because it isn’t appropriate!). Thank you so much for everything.

Regards & thank you, Graham x

Testimonial #16

Rose & Terry,

I just wanted to say a big thanks you for all of the support and help you gave me last year in achieving all of my goals. Firstly at Cotswolds 113 and then of course the big one Ironman Wales. Without the both of you I would have never even reached the start line. Your extra help on the final stages of the run really pulled me through. I can honestly say, I would have never finished without the two of you.

Thank you so much, Karl
