KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Answers
Sure thing. Whether you’ve completed your first 5km running event or targeting a full-distance triathlon, or you just want to do better at the next goal, Kollektiv will provide you with a personalised training plan to match your fitness level and adapt around your life schedule. Our existing members are located all over the world, ranging from beginners who have not yet completed their first goal, to IRONMAN Kona qualifiers.
The workouts that are provided are not compulsory. The learning content is helpful for all athletes irrelevant if you have a coach or not.
Once you have signed up for Kollektiv, you will have to complete data-driven on-boarding experience. Your answers will tell us more about you, your training habits, your fitness history, ambitions and availability to train. The training plan will be designed in a way that gives you structure and choice in the training you do. Your plan will continually evolve and personalise based on your progress.
Kollektiv can personally train you for single and multi-sport events; Triathlon, Duathlon, Swimming, Cycling and Running. Our unique method is based on proven sports science and human performance expertise. The methods and approaches used to personally train you, have been used and trusted by world-class athletes, Olympians and world champions. We can train you for 5km to ultra-distance running events, short to long distance cycling events, and the full range of Sprint, Olympic, Middle or Full Distance triathlon events. We specialise in the focus and composition of multiple sports.
You can send a message to our human performance experts as and when you need a second opinion. Please just know a lot of experts are out training and also taking part in events so keep your questions and updates concise for healthy progress. They will answer at the earliest opportunity. We won’t pester you, we prefer to leave you to your training and we trust that you’ll reach out to the performance experts if and when you need them.
From the day that you have submitted your on-boarding answers, it can take up to 7 days for a coach to design and approve your plan. (Most community members receive theirs within 2 – 3 days)

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK
We grow together.

“Life-changing”
I have always trained inconsistently. Nutrition up and down too. Luckily I joined a Kollektiv community. Any person close to me would vow how I have changed.

“Beyond Triathlon”
A Kollektiv community offers a home where I can be vulnerable and open to sharing my thoughts and questions to becoming the best version of myself.

“Amazing learning experience”
I personally think this is an unbeatable experience worth the time and money, especially if you are looking to up your triathlon game to the next level.
Values thatdefine Kollektiv
