Our athletes really enjoy training and love to challenge themselves. They frequently comment and joke about the “love/hate” feelings they have for the toughest group workouts – track workouts, bike time trials, spin sessions. While the workouts are tough and challenging, our athletes love the feeling they get from them, not to mention their coaches and people they train with!

Our coaches have a tremendous amount of experience and have been actively involved in the sport for decades – not just coaching, but as triathletes themselves.  They’ve raced in literally hundreds of triathlons at all distances, and are all still currently competing. They also have a vast amount of coaching experience – helping hundreds of athletes to finishes at all distances, including over a hundred Ironman finishes!

What are we looking for in the athletes we train?  Well, you DON’T have to be an Ironman, or a super athlete.  Just simply someone who is ready to commit to some focused training and eager to be challenged.  Our coaches’ combination of personal experience racing and training, along with years of guiding other athletes through their training, allows them to apply that knowledge with beginner and seasoned triathletes.

Group Training
Total Intensity Sports has developed the best and most effective group training program in Sacramento for almost two decades. Our comprehensive, year-round group training includes everything you need to prepare for a triathlon.  Our training program also benefits single-sport athletes, supporting swimmers, cyclists and runners who are looking to get stronger and faster in their training.  Experienced and certified coaches lead and design sessions so regardless of your ability, you’ll be challenged and won’t feel like you are holding up the group. We keep workouts fun and different, so you won’t get bored.
