Private Training

Tri Star offers private training to members and new comers alike. If you need to brush up on your flips, learn a new skill or improve your fitness then private training is for you! Our aweseome Tri Star coaches have a wide range of skills and experience sure to meet your individual needs.

How it works?

Private training is organised directly between the coaches and person looking to book a private session. Have a read of the info below then get in contact with your chosen coach below. 

For external or non-members of Tri Star, you will need to enrol in the "open gym" class using the  ENROL NOW button above to ensure we have your information for health and safety purposes. 

For Tri Star Competitive Athletes you are restricted to 1 x private lesson a week. All competition athletes must reach out to their personal coach for private lessons, if they are unavailable or agree you can reach out to other coaches. 

For Competitive Athletes from other clubs we must have written permission from your club that they are aware and happy for you to be undertaking private training at Tri Star. \

How much does it Cost?

The cost of private training differs depending on the number of athletes, the time and who the coach is. There are different rates for actively enrolled Tri Star members vs external or not currently enrolled athletes. See the breakdown of costs below.
