Are you up for an Ironman?
eLerts
TNT is a noncompetitive, comprehensive training program with professional coaching, a supportive team and inspirational cause. Workouts are tailored to multiple ability levels, so you don’t have to be a superhero to take on an Ironman triathlon – you just need the drive and commitment.
The program is designed for busy people with busy lives, so you’ll have shorter workouts during the week and longer trainings on weekends. If you are even a little bit intrigued to “become Iron” and go long for a cure, call us at 800.78.TRAIN.
