SSISA moves with the times with TRI-Fit

With the sport of triathlon becoming increasingly popular in South Africa – the Sports Science Institute of South Africa (SSISA) – is now offering a range of programmes under the TRI-Fit banner. It’s all systems go for the next sprint distance triathlon programme (the first of which was very successfully run in the first quarter of the year). They are also launching a brand new programme for those training for the Jailbreak triathlon or 70.3 (Half-Ironman) in East London.

The TRI-Fit sprint distance programme is a 12-week programme aimed at the first-time triathlete, who would like to complete a sprint distance triathlon (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run). The TRI-Fit Jailbreak programme, also 12 weeks, is aimed at the more experienced triathlete, who wants to complete longer triathlons such as the Jailbreak or 70.3 in East London.

These programmes include a comprehensive set of pre and post programme fitness and health assessments, workshops, highly informative weekly newsletters and 10 guest passes for their Wellness and Fitness Centre. Members receive an array of trendy New Balance products including a tog bag, waist belt and discount voucher, as well as a discount for Cycle Lab, reduced Go Multi Magazine subscription rates, a discount for a SSISA massage package and the opportunity to join their Wellness and Fitness Centre at special rates.

Run by SSISA’s experienced and qualified staff, expect expert support and advice throughout. You will attend three sessions a week at the SSISA or an arranged venue, in addition to doing some sessions on your own, following a scientifically designed programme. Says previous TRI-Fit member, 30 year-old Victoria Hawkins “This programme has shown me that I can do things that I never believed I would and given me the confidence to keep on chipping away at my fears”.

The TRI-Fit sprint distance programme starts 22 August 2011 and the Jailbreak/70.3 programme, 13 September 2011. With limited spaces available, book now!
