The DekaFit training continues! 💪

Sarah finished the session really strong with weighted sit-ups, crunches, and Russian twists. She loved them so much she completed an extra set… just so I could take a few photos! 😄

Check out the info below on what the DekaFit paired ladies will be completing on race day.

Every session is another step closer to being DekaFit ready! 🔥

What better way to kick off the weekend than with a coached open water swim session at Spring Lakes! 🌊🏊

Tom Buckley is gearing up to compete at the Swim England National Open Water Championships on Saturday 25th July at Rother Valley.

For his final preparation session before race day, Tom wanted to fine-tune his sighting skills to help him race as efficiently as possible. He met those goals brilliantly, building confidence, improving accuracy, and finding a strong rhythm with his sighting throughout the session.

Wishing Tom the very best at the National Championships next weekend! 💪🌊🏅

An early cycling coaching session this morning before it got too hot. We worked on gearing over rolling terrain, as well as climbing and descending to mimic what she’ll experience on race day. We also spent some time focusing on cadence and keeping a smooth, efficient rhythm on the hills.

A really productive session, and great to see her confidence grow. She picked up some useful tips and techniques that she can now take into her own training. Looking forward to seeing her put them into practice over the coming weeks.

A huge congratulations to Tom Buckley on achieving his goal and qualifying for the Swim England National Open Water Championships!

Tom delivered an outstanding performance in yesterday’s 2km regional event, clocking a fantastic time of 28:01 and finishing 2nd in the East Midlands in his age group.

Tom is making great progress in open water, gaining valuable experience and delivering impressive results.

He will now go on to compete at the National Open Water Championships at Rother Valley on 25th July.

Best of luck, Tom — we’re excited to follow your journey at the National Championships!

Last night, two athletes were hard at work preparing for their very first DekaFit Pairs event! 💪🔥

DekaFit consists of 10 zones, combining both cardio and strength challenges, so training needs to prepare athletes for constantly switching between the two.

Yesterday’s session focused on exactly that — moving straight from cardio into strength work, and then back into cardio again, replicating the demands of race day. The goal was to get comfortable performing under fatigue and learning how to maintain effort and technique throughout each transition.

A tough but productive session! Keep up the great work! 👏🏃‍♂️🏋️‍♀️

One of the great things about fitness training is that it’s completely individual. Everyone has their own goals, and the journey is unique to each person.

This is Tom, PT with All Round Fitness. He set himself specific targets for his bench press, squat, and deadlift, and through hard work, dedication, and consistency, he has now achieved all three.

His latest milestone was hitting his deadlift target, completing the set of goals he set for himself. 💪

Success doesn’t happen overnight, but with commitment and determination, great results follow. A huge well done to Tom on reaching his targets – a fantastic achievement and one to be very proud of! 👏🏆

Swapped the lake for a lido for today’s swim. A very short, I’m guessing, 15m pool!

Does anyone recognise which lido it is?

A double thumbs up from Everyone Active - Sporting Champions Tom Buckley! 👍👍

With the Swim England Regional Open Water Championships coming up next month, Tom has been hard at work sharpening his open water skills in preparation for race day. Today’s session focused on developing efficient sighting and drafting techniques—key skills for strong open water performance.

Look forward to hearing how the event goes.

Keep up the great work, Tom!
