Training Sessions

NB: To ride or swim with us, you must be a member (see Membership page for details, including how to sign up for a free trial). We welcome runners without requiring membership (but it is cheaper for members!). 

Head Coach: John Hallis 

Commencing 1 July 2026, John Hallis has taken up the role of UWATC head coach.

John is an accredited Triathlon Australia Development Coach and is in the final stages of completing the Elite/Performance Coaching certification. He is also an Ironman U Certified Coach and an ISCO-certified bike fitter.

John has coached triathletes in both group settings, including TRIMOB and Fremantle Triathlon Club, and on an individual basis. His expertise includes running and cycling biomechanics, bike fitting, swim technique analysis, metabolic analysis and aerodynamic bike testing. 

In addition to his coaching qualifications, John brings extensive experience as an age group athlete, having previously competed in both Ironman and Ironman 70.3 World Championships and having completed a solo Rottnest Channel Swim. 

John will oversee the UWATC coaching program and will initially lead the Tuesday evening running interval session, with plans to introduce additional coached sessions as the season progresses. 

John will also offer individual programs through the club for members with specific goals or those seeking a more tailored coaching experience. Registration details will be available soon. Don't hesitate to get in touch for more information via committee@uwatriathlonclub.com.au.

Running & Riding 

As well as paid coached sessions, our members also organise lots of social sessions - see below for weekly schedule of coached and uncoached sessions. During the offseason (July-September 2026), we're keeping it fairly light with one formal coached session and lots of less formal sessions (club-led coached and social). This will be expanded when the season starts in October and will focus on key races throughout the season.  

Monthly Subscription for 1 coached session per week
