GPC Squad (Triathlon & Multisport)

I joined the Geelong Performance Coaching family just over a month ago and have loved every minute! From the very beginning I felt like Coach Stephane understood me on a personal and an athletic level. I couldn't recommend Geelong Performance Coaching enough for anyone wanting to take their training to the next level, or simply just to enjoy the atmosphere of an encouraging and welcoming group of people.

Started with GPC when I had long term Calf injury's, their custom program and care shown to get me through re-hab and back on the course has been second to non. Sweat tests, nutrition, balanced training, race focus all tailored around my family and work commitments. Fast forward 4 years later and iv competed in 5 World Championships, and its is from a fairly average athlete.

I started with Stephane at Geelong Performance Coaching about 2 months ago. Before starting with GPC I had been dealing with injuries for well over 6 months and had not been able to train consistently or without pain. My partner Hannah had started with Stephane a few months earlier due to overtraining and fatigue and had seen great improvements in her energy levels and performance. Naturally, I decided it was time for me to make a change from being self coached.Since making the change I have been training consistently and just competed in my first race in over 9 months! I cannot thank Stephane and everyone at Geelong Performance Coaching enough for their support in getting me back on track. Stephane is one of the most passionate coaches I know, he is always available to communicate by phone or email and strives to get the most out of all his athletes so that they can achieve their training and racing goals.If you're struggling to achieve your triathlon, running or multisport goals or simply can't get over injuries that leave you training inconsistently then I highly recommend starting with Geelong Performance Coaching!

I joined GPC in 2015 to prepare for the Melbourne Marathon after a few years of following generic, web based training plans. Although the web plans were useful to begin with, my performance had flat lined.Since joining GPC, my running has started to improve again. The coaching team (Steph, Kate, and Graham) are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about helping athletes at all levels reach their goals. I can't speak highly enough of GPC and would recommend them to anyone who wants to take their performance to the next level.

Performance, improvement, support & structure! GPC have an amazing group of coaches, a dedicated network of experienced partners, training camps and the unbeatable Great Ocean Road as a training playground. I love the variety of racing and training written into my program through Coach Kate. After 2 years in the GPC fold, I am injury free and still hunting PB's - as an athlete in my mid 40's, I thoroughly endorse their program!

There's coaches..... and then there's GPC! If you have a goal (or a realistic dream), the coaches at GPC will help you get there! Beyond being accredited and experienced coaches with the ability to tailor training and programs to suit your needs, I believe their greatest trait is that they care about you as a person. I have been under the guidance of Coach Kate for over 2 years and she has helped me to PB in each 70.3 triathlon or marathon I've entered, and also supported me through multiple 100km trail runs.Life is short. Trust the coach. Anything is possible. #GPCsquad

A few years ago I sustained a serious sports ankle injury and could not run around the block without immense chronic pain. This has forced me to stop playing sport and running alltogether until a couple of years ago I was recommended by my podiatrist to see Coach Kate at GPC squad. This has changed my life forever and is the best decision I have ever made.Since joining GPC Squad, coach Kate has tailored a specialised structured running program to get me started back into running again pain free. Along with coaching professionalism and unconditional support, Kate has changed my running technique and efficiency through video analyses and since then I have been able to complete countless running events relatively pain free, including my first half marathon and the Melbourne Full Marathon last year.Looking for a new challenge, coach Kate and GPC have been able to coach me into racing my first triathlon in March this year and a few others since. Who would have thought this was possible considering recently I could not swim a lap of the pool without pausing for a couple of seconds to take a breath. Part of the reason why i have found love and addiction to this new sport for me is because all the GPC coaches and athletes have formed the most friendly and family like environment. GPC squad alone is just as addictive.I can not recommend GPC squad highly enough If you want to achieve your Triathlon, 70.3 or Ironman goals, individual running, cycling, and swimming goals or just general fitness alone. No matter what level of athletic ability, sporting background, or age, GPC squad will make it happen and help you achieve the most amazing results in the most professional world class way.

Before I emailed Stephane at Geelong Performance Coaching in October of 2017, I had never competed in any athletic events apart from a few fun runs, never mind a triathlon.I was like most people contemplating taking up something new. I was nervous and a little unsure I had what it took to be part of a structured training squad.Stephane called me right away and after a brief discussion about my goals and how much time I could commit, all my doubts were alleviated. I am a busy business manager with a young family so the flexible personalised training plans are perfect. The coaches are always available, allowing for a stress free and dynamic coaching experience.Everyone at GPC, from the Highly Experienced and Accredited Coaches, squad members, sponsors and affiliates are all super friendly, helpful and genuinely want to see you perform at your best.Whether you just want to try a new discipline, nail your nutrition or become a World Class triathlete, I can’t think of a more motivating, inclusive and supportive environment to achieve your goals.I highly recommend giving GPC a try, regardless of your experience or fitness level.

GPC are next level in their professionalism, understanding of athletes' abilities and realistic in their expectations. Training sessions are well organised and coaches ensure everyone gets the session they need for their own progress. The thing I love most is having a mentor who 100% backs my goals and gives me fresh drive and determination to improve, who believes everything is possible irrespective of age and continues to push me out of my comfort zone - because that's where the magic happens. GPC are the real deal if you want to really see what you're capable of!

I cannot speak more highly of my experience with GPC since my initial contact with them at the end of last year when they were recommended by a friend. From the beginning, I was made to feel welcome, well supported and encouraged to achieve my fitness and event aspirations. GPC have an exceptional team of highly experienced coaches that are matched to your ability and sporting goals, and they ensure your program is individually tailored, realistic and fits within your work life and family commitments. Not only this, but GPC have created a fantastic culture where you train hard but have fun, and no matter your ability you are made to feel part of the team. GPC and their athletes achieve amazing results, and they inspire you to work towards being the best athlete you can be -and even the athlete you didn’t know you could be!
