KIKstart Triathlon Training

Joe Hannan

“I joined the group sessions with other Kikstars who shared valuable support, motivation and tips based on experience - all run by Karla and Paul. In weeks when I was lazy Karla ensured the appropriate measures where taking to get me on track again. On race day and on the days leading up to the event I was relaxed, feeling confident and could not have been more prepared, thanks to the watchful eye and support of Karla.”

“I was one of those guys that thought I had training waxed and knew everything I needed to know. Then I joined Kikstart and quickly realised that I know nothing Karla opened my eyes to my full potential she guided me and helped me push personal boundaries and realize life goals . At the tender age of 48 I can honestly say I am fitter and healthier than I have ever been. She is so professional in everything she does but still maintains that personal touch ! I love my Kikstart family and look forward to our future adventures ! And that's why I recommend Karla and Kikstart”

“Karla is not only my tri coach, she plays a huge role in my mental health as a whole. She keeps me accountable to the goals I put down, she pushes me to my true limits, not the limits made up in my head and she always ensures that I'm never left behind. Although triathlon is very much a single person sport, there is such great team spirit with Kikstart, loads of fun and laughter (and barones). Love my team in blue.”

Claire Coetzee

“I work away a lot and it is sometimes difficult to consolidate my fitness goals and work responsibilities. Karla has been instrumental in keeping me on track and providing a tailor-made program that fits with my lifestyle flawlessly, adapts to every situation or country I find myself in, and truly boosts my performance to the max. I can recommend Karla as a remote Coach to any level of athlete, her motivation, dedication and adaptiveness are unrivalled!”

Andre Collins

“Karla was recommended by a friend and now when I reflect on 5 Iron man’s and two 70. 3’s later, I can only say that joining KIKstar was the best decision I could have made at the time. Training with a personalized program makes it mentally easier but very importantly helps to prevent overtraining which is often the cause of injury. Karla with her special approach has succeeded in building great spirit, ‘’kameraderie’’ and fun into her training group which I value and enjoy.”
