Lydia was so welcoming and willing to answer all my questions regarding my new bike (I had a lot 😂). Had a bike fit and it feels AMAZING. 100% recommend!

As a beginner to triathlons I was…
As a beginner to triathlons I was nervous about being using an endless pool. But Loren was fantastic at explaining and making me feel at ease!
The pool, lesson, and follow up were all brilliant and I saw a huge improvement from just one session.
Can’t rate this highly enough :)
Fantastic endless pool session
I booked a session with Loren in the endless pool to look at my technique for long distance swims. I’m not a triathlete but Loren understood what I wanted out of the session to be able to efficiently swim 5-10km. She was so knowledgable and you can really achieve a lot in each session with her explanations and being shown your swimming right there and then to be able to correct and keep practicing. I’ve never used an endless pool before but Loren makes you feel very comfortable with every aspect of the session. Would fully recommend even if you’re not a sports person and you just want to check how you swim!
Swim Analysis
After attending many coached swim sessions and seeing no real improvment with my swim I decided to reach out the the Passion Fit Team for a swim analysis. Head coach Loren took the session, it was well structured with feedback sessions throughout, followed by a detailed report.
Needless to say, since the analysis my swim technique and efficiency has greatly improved.
If you are looking to improve your swim tecnique and ability I can't recommend the Passion Fit Team enough !!
Awesome swimming coach!!
Loren and the passion fit setup have been crucial to improving my swimming. Friendly and professional advice from my first enquiry, all the way through my structured sessions in the endless pool. I wanted to improve the efficiency of my swimming technique, in preparation for ironman, which Loren has helped me with immensely, she's a great coach... I am now actually enjoying swimming too, which is something I never thought would happen!!
I can't thank, or recommend, Loren enough.

Swim analysis
Went for swim analysis at passiin fit after a couple of recommendations.
Session started on time with a coffee and a chat about your history and what your looking for going forward .
Onto the swim itself .Swam for about 5 mins where Loren videoed and took pictures . Then the analysis starts on the big screen where your stroke is broken down .Loren then explained and demonstrated what I could change and how it would help.
Spent the rest of the session putting everything into practice .while still getting advice .
Great session and a lot taken from it.
Followed by a detailed report.
Passionfit coaching experience
From my initial inquiry message Loren has been an incredible coach. We had an initial swim analysis session which was incredibly insightful and we have then gone on to do further sessions to help me prepare for my first triathlon. She has a very personable coaching style which is welcoming, friendly and informative.
My swim technique has improved a huge amount in a short space of time thanks to Loren.
She has also invited me to try out the other sessions they run and made me feel very welcome.
Couldn’t praise Passionfit highly enough!
Swim Analysis
Visited Loren at Passion Fit for a group swim analysis. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I learnt so much about myself and the areas I need to work on. Loren was welcoming and explained everything so well it gives me confidence to go home and work on this by myself. Working in a group also allowed me watch others and learn from this as well. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their swim.
Swim Analysis
I went along for a swim analysis with a couple of friends, for a group session that lasted a few hours. Loren was fantastic throughout. She sat us all down, and we discussed our swimming backgrounds, our goals and what we wanted to achieve. I was a bit nervous as I'd not swam in an endless pool before, and I'm very much an amateur swimmer. Loren put me at ease and I was surprised how much I enjoyed! There was loads of great footage taken of my swimming, and Loren used that to then point out areas of improvement, and gave me tips on how to rectify some of the bigger mistakes I was making. Immediately after implementing the suggestions I could see a difference. I've done a couple of swims since the session and my speed has increased massively already. Really looking forward to nailing all the points I've been given so far, and going back in the future to get some more pointers! Definitely the most valuable investment in my tri training so far.
Fantastic experience with big takeaways
I went up with two others as part of a group swim analysis session and what an experience it was. Loren is so knowledgable and able to explain things in an easy to understand way. I felt at ease the whole time and left feeling excited to implement the things I had learnt. Loren took the time to sit us down and talk about our swimming history to gain an understanding on how she would be able to help. We then took it in turns getting in the pool and having our analysis done but were able to learn from each other too which was a plus of going up in a group. I’d recommend this to novices and experienced swimmers as there’s always going to be room for improvement. I’ll definitely be coming back.
Take your understanding to whole new levels
The Passion Fit coaches have vast experience, knowledge and, yes, passion, but perhaps most impressive is how well brilliantly they create the environment to develop deep understanding, self-awareness and growth.
Your performance as a triathlete is, I believe, guaranteed to improve, but even more importantly, so is your commitment to high functioning, and the realisation that that matters more.
The best investment you can make in yourself.
All too often in the triathlon world athletes are interested in spending money on flash, expensive whizz bang bits of kit in an effort to be ‘faster’. Forget all that.
For more than four years I have worked with Tom, Loren and Lydia at Passion Fit and by far, without any doubt this is the best investment I have made.
Working with them to develop personal achievable and aspirational goals I have gone from strength to strength and become part of a close, encouraging, inclusive community of like minded athletes supporting each other every day as we all work to not just become more accomplished athletes but better accomplished in our personal lives too.
We participate in Group Sessions both in person and online where you’ll see those early in their journey to professional athletes training together, using the knowledge the Coaches at Passion Fit have helped develop to tailor the session to your own personal needs, aspirations and ability.
The Studio is professional, yet friendly with all the necessary equipment including an Endless Pool where you can be coached in how to find the best in yourself.
(This does involve lots of cuddles with super soppy ‘’Security Dog” Logan!!)
With personal feedback on every single session, dodgy tunes during the online bike sessions and a most welcoming community, world class coaching and personal improvement has never been so achievable.
I don’t just recommend Passion Fit, I encourage you to get in touch and surpass your goals!!
Great first experience in the endless pool
I am new to triathlon and have looked at various options of how to improve my swimming. I can swim, but am a long way off a proficient front crawl stroke so wanted somewhere I could learn privately in a non judgemental way. On my first session Loren, Lydia and Tom were really friendly and made me feel at ease, even the dog Logan is super friendly! The set up is great with a consultation room, private changing room with shower and a separate room with the endless pool. Loren listened and made me feel at ease in the pool and it didn't take very long to get used to the endless pool. Loren broke up my stroke and made a plan going forward and I have now booked 4 more sessions. If you are new (or old) to Triathlon and want to improve your swimming technique, I would recommend trying Passion Fit!
A breath of fresh air to Triathlon…
A breath of fresh air to Triathlon Coaching.
Ive only been part of the Passion Fit Community for a few weeks, but the whole attitude of all the coaches and the community has been so refreshing. They are more interested in you than your stats and previous performances. I feel like i have found where i belong. Recently i had my swim analysis done at their HQ and it was great to see how much i improved with just a few tweaks. I have been battling with my swimming for so long and i feel I now have the right information to help me improve. I have no doubt that my racing this year, will look so much better than previous years, now that i have the right support and guidance. I just wished i went to them sooner
Passion Fit coached athlete
It’s been a year since I began my coached athlete journey with Passion Fit, coached by Loren. It’s been a wonderful year, full of athletic surprises that I never dreamed could be possible. I’ve had so much fun along the way with the amazing community of athletes that I am fortunate to get to share this journey with. The most surprising part has been the hugely positive impact the Passion Fit coaching concepts have had on other parts of my life. Joining Passion Fit is without a doubt the best investment I have ever made in myself.
Incredible coaching, fantastic community!
Passion Fit provide an incredibly supportive & personalised approach to coaching. The caring & understanding offered is second to none. With my own medical complications, management of my training is often complex, challenging & difficult, but coach Tom takes it all in his stride & nothing is ever too big an issue to resolve. The entire Passion Fit community encourages & motivate, making training an experience in itself!
Open to all athletes!
The most important thing for people considering getting coaching for their athletic journeys is that the Passion Fit team will value and invest in your journey just as much as any other member of the community. That goes for whether you're an elite athlete or you're starting your journey (like I was) and want to see whether you can put yourself in a position to be able to complete a triathlon.
The professionalism and attention of the coaches to listen to what you want to achieve and to tailor your coaching in a way that is sustainable and works for you and your circumstances is brilliant. They make sure that you always maximise the benefits of every session and keep you focused on your long term goals.
Being part of Passion Fit also brings you into the community of other athletes and their positivity and genuine enthusiasm for each other's journey is very humbling. Everyone is there for each other whether you are a seasoned, experienced athlete or a newbie like me!
More than just triathlon coaching!
Whilst I'm relatively new to Passion Fit Coaching having only joined 8 months ago, being coached by Tom.
All the coaches bring their own style and experience to group and individual sessions which is great from a learning perspective. The community aspect and support shown by everyone is excellent and a great source of motivation. Being remotely trained based on the other side of the world hasn't taken away from the sense of community that I enjoy.
Tom is a highly knowledgeable, no nonsesne coach who is able to help sync up all facets of my life, family, work and triathlon journey ensuring one doesn't dominate the other two. He holds me to account whilst teaching me the necessary behaviours to be self driven in achieving my goals!
Highly recommended for sure!!!
Exceptional coaching - suitable for everyone!
As an older 'athlete' enjoying my triathlon journey later in life I thoroughly recommend Passion Fit Coaching. I've found the Passion Fit community to be very friendly and inclusive. The coaching is exceptional and it really is suitable for athletes of all ages and abilities!
FANTASTIC COACHING AND COMMUNITY
I first got involved with Passion Fit just over 3 years ago, starting with a series of endless pool swimming sessions. I rapidly progressed to being coached and have never looked back.
The coaching combines individualised training sessions within an friendly, inclusive group of like minded athletes, of all abilities, as well as development around mindset. This has not only revolutionised my approach to training, which has led me to achieve more than I ever expected, but has also impacted my every day life in a very positive way. I cannot recommend the Passion Fit coaches and community more highly
Fabulous coaching and excellent value!
I’ve been coached by Loren and the team at PassionFit for 18 months now & absolutely love it! The sessions are structured to suit my personal goals but mostly delivered as part of a group session so we can encourage at support each other whilst making the session really targeted for us! As part of our coaching fee we get daily feedback, weekly behaviours & mindset coaching and tons of online content to help us, not just in our triathlon journey but also in our personal and professional lives too
