IRON STRENGTH: Triathlete Strength System

Stop Sacrificing Your Strength for the Finish Line.

The Endurance training tax is real. You've spent years building muscle and hitting PRs in the gym, only to watch it all vanish the moment your Ironman mileage ramps up. By race day, most first time triathletes feel smaller, weaker, and more fragile than when they started.

You don’t have to waste away your hard earned muscle to be a triathlete.

Iron Strength is a 12-week, evidence-based system designed to prevent muscle loss and help you show up to the starting line as strong as before you starting triathlon training. Created by a CSCS and former D1 wrestler, this program is built specifically for the athlete who wants to cross the finish line with their strength, muscle, and power intact.

With 2 FULL Body Strength + Power Sessions per week, you can expect to train at a high intensity with low volume in each workout.

Designed to Help You Retain Muscle
By using heavy weight and low-volume methodology, we help your body keep its muscle mass tissue, even when your weekly mileage is at its peak.

Training with Structure
Instead of winging it at the gym or following random routines, you'll follow an intentionally designed program with purpose, progression, and variety. Each week builds on the last to help you get stronger, faster, and ready for each session on the bike, in the pool, or on the track.

Ability to Track Your Progress

No more wondering if your workouts are working - you’ll know you're improving or retaining strength based on actual data you can see.
