Whilst the programme will have a fun and spirited focus, with great camaraderie, SSISA’s expert staff will provide a professional and safe environment in which you train. Participants will receive highly informative weekly newsletters; 10 guest passes for our Wellness and Fitness Centre; an array of trendy New Balance products including a tog bag; a 10% discount at Cycle Lab; discount massages at the SSISA’s Massage Centre; the Beginner’s Guide to Triathlon bookazine; a 10% discount coupon for any item on the Go Multi online shop; discounts on accommodation and treatments at Sante Hotel, as well as a 35% discount off a year’s subscription to SHAPE magazine.

Says TRI-Fit programme manager *Kim Woolrich, “With this TRI-Fit programme specifically designed for women; those who have  previously been intimidated by the thought of doing a triathlon or duathlon - need not fear.  Our professional and caring staff will look after you every step of the way.”

There are three sessions a week at the SSISA or an arranged venue run by our experts, in addition to members doing some sessions on their own following their individualised scientifically-designed programme.

Previous TRI-Fit member Leanne Scott (52yrs) sums up her positive experience “I think this is a fantastic programme and highly recommend it. There is just the right mix of seriousness, care and fun about the programme and the team of people coaching and managing was excellent!”

The programme kicks off 2 February 2012 and with limited spaces available, book now by e-mailing fit@ssisa.com or phoning (021) 659 5600.
