Head Coach Surprises Members

One of the members of Team Triumph had posted that their trail race had been canceled, but the Race Director was going to send anyone who had signed up and still decided to complete the race distance a pair of socks for doing so.

This got me thinking that I would like to do something similar for the 45 members who participated in the Team Triumph Virtual St. Patricks Day run. I decided that a headband would be nice.

On Thursday and Friday of last week, me and my Director of Logistics, Martin Couet, set out to hand-deliver the headbands to anyone who lived locally.

As we drove, walked or mailed the prizes I kept thinking how incredibly grateful I felt to have these people as part of my club. I realized just how far they drove to be part of our tribe.

What a cool experience it was driving around and seeing where they lived. We saw people in Pj's at 4 pm in the afternoon, we met Julia and Brad's Vlaming's sweet new baby, we felt the stress that Louise Lewis James is managing with 3 kids and her ill Mother at home and sent her virtual hugs. We smelled the delicious home-cooked meals you were preparing, we saw Stephanie Obaseki-Johnson kids and Cecile Beaurepaire's kids waving in the window, we met a few of your barking dogs and we saw people sweaty after their workouts! I was happy to be able to give Brenda Ross a virtual hug and thank her for supporting the daily administration to help turn Team Triumph into a virtual club. 

What a fulfilling couple of days.

"Prepping for the week ahead. After last week’s marathon of all-day google hangouts, keeping my #TeamTriumph band close by to remind me to build in and protect « well-being « time."

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.⁣
