Testimonials.

  • "I had the pleasure of working with Anna at AWC for almost 2 years as I trained for my first (and second) Ironman 70.3. She provided invaluable expertise in triathlon training for someone who was a complete rookie to the sport, unwavering support and understanding as I was also working in corporate at the same time. Anna always asked the right questions to help me gain clarity on what my goals looked like, starting from "I don't know, I just want to finish," to breaking down each leg into more manageable segments of the race and calculating goals for each was instrumental in helping me see progress. My first 70.3 completed in Sunshine Coast, which Anna also attended as support crew (again, cannot emphasise her unwavering support enough), only made me hungrier for more and she encouraged me to then sign up for Taupo 70.3 only 3 months later with more distinctive goals in mind based on the course. Thanks to Anna's coaching, I was able to exceed my expectations and improve both my swim and run times in Taupo in front of friends and family. One of the things I appreciate most about Anna is her ability to make anyone feel comfortable asking her anything as she truly listens and has the confidence in her coaching to make a significant impact but is not shy to tell you when to knuckle down. I can only highly recommend Anna to anyone not only for her expert knowledge and guidance but also has an infectious passion for various sports and helping people see real results. She has been an incredible coach (and friend) in my personal growth, and I’m certain she will have the same impact on others."

  • “I was put on to Anna through my work colleague as I had entered myself in to my toughest challenge to date, the Routeburn Classic 32km. This was my first time ever using a coach, Anna was so good at understanding what I wanted and individualised my program to suit my lifestyle as a busy mum of three, but still making me feel like an athlete.Due to her careful programming I completed my challenge, and have signed up with Anna again and onto my next big challenge of completing my first ultra Tarawera 50km.”
