St. Patrick's Day Virtual 5/10km Was a Sucess

St. Patrick's Day Virtual 5/10km Was a Sucess

TEAM TRIUMPH -  ST PADDY'S VIRTUAL CLUB RUN FOR MENTAL HEALTH

 

WOWOWOWOW!! What an amazing turnout we had this weekend for the 5km - 10km virtual walk/run event!! It was such fun looking at all of your accomplishments and pictures. Congrats to all who took part. We actually had a few PB's today which is pretty amazing given the stress levels of the past week.

A special shout out and thumbs up to Byron Johnson, one of our oldest members (over 70), for staying indoors and self-isolating after returning home from the states. I know it's not easy and if you know Byron he could kick most of our butts running and cycling for that matter!

Here are the results!

Great Club Atmosphere

“Here’s to you Julia! Over the last 25 years or so you have gathered up this ragtag community of people and infused it not only with athletic skill but with much love, passion and a huge dose of gratitude — for our health and fitness, for the places we play in, and for each other. The pandemic may have changed the nature of Team Triumph in some ways, but your rich legacy of community continues to thrive. Thanks for this incredible gift Julia!” Pauline

Virtual Cycling Club - A. Laidlaw

This program provides the intensity of workout I was looking for as well as the structure, accountability, and a nice bit of social interaction. I have found myself setting some goals again for my fitness and having fun tracking them on Zwift, Training Peaks and Strava. Thank you, Julia and all of Team Triumph for once again pushing me to work harder and to have so much fun doing it." A. Laidlaw

Thank You Team Triumph!

Julia, I want to thank you for all you are doing for the Team Triumph community.  I am so very glad we found Team Triumph (maybe 5 years ago?) not only for myself but for Claude as well. You have changed so many things for us -how we work out, what activities we do (like swimming for me..which I am now in love with…who knew?) and helping Claude to focus his dream to do an Ironman. And very importantly you have introduced us to so many wonderful people many of whom we now count among our good friends! I am so happy that your small business has survived when so many others have had to close. The closing of the OAC would have been much tougher for me (and for many others in TT I imagine) if I did not have this community.  

Keep up the great work!

Grateful during COVID19

 

A huge thank you to my Triathlon coach, Julia Cooper-Aimers. She took the time last week to drop off (from a distance because of COVID19 restrictions) some tri shorts I ordered along with a well-appreciated note to remind me that there will be ups and downs and that things will get better. She has gone above and beyond to support all of her athletes and our Team Triumph club, by providing almost daily strength, yoga, and spinning videos that have been uploaded to Youtube for anyone who needs a little motivation during these challenging times as well as many words of encouragement. I am grateful for her support and encouragement. ❤️

Awesome Swim Program

Training with Team Triumph for 7 months (so far) made me faster and stronger while building nourishing connections with like-minded fitness nuts and shattering the expectations I had of myself. TT is a crew of inspiring people pursuing epic individual goals and encouraging each other along the way. Julia and her team have expert knowledge and provide a thoughtful evidence-based group program that works. I am privileged and thankful to have Team Triumph in my neighborhood and can't wait to get back to the pool!

Putting Members First

I want to thank you for always putting our well-being at the forefront of your business model. You suspended face-to-face programs in a timely manner, leading the way in a fitness business world that took much too long to respond and put their members’ health and the community at risk. You « triumphed « in quickly acting to flatten the curve.⁣
⁣
Your caring nature resulted in a series of innovative and fun virtual sessions and opened them to the community. I am missing the live interaction now that I am working for a few months but I appreciate that I can access the videos according to my schedule. Yin/yang session tonight, just what I needed.⁣
⁣
Not to mention the check-ins, the home deliveries, the charitable events. Priceless.⁣
