very first indoor triathlon training ground in the heart of the metropolis was
recently launched, a first among all Fitness First clubs in Asia, at the
Fitness First SM Aura Premiere in Bonifacio Global City.
The Fitness First Platinum’s Multi Sports Zone at the SM Aura Premier in Bonifacio Global City was unveiled before the members of the media and the fitness community as well.

The venue is expected to attract many sports and fitness enthusiasts who would want to take cover from the searing heat of the summer sun or the unforgiving rains in the upcoming wet season because it has a great space for swimming, biking and running.
“We
are very excited to introduce the new Indoor Triathlon program exclusive here
at the Fitness First Platinum Aura Premier’s Multi Sport Zone. We have invested
in top-of-the-line equipment and have well-trained coaches to execute the program.
We are bringing the Triathlon, one of the country’s fastest growing sports,
indoors in a safe and simulated environment. Experienced triathletes, triathlon
coaches and even beginners can benefit from this program as it aims to train,
strengthen and advance your triathlon skills, no matter what fitness level
you’re in,” Mark Ellis, Fitness First Philippines Country Manager said.

runners half his age could only dream about |
For
those who are training for an incoming triathlon event, the Fitness First
Platinum’s Multi Sports Zone is the perfect training ground since the
facilities are of world-class standard.
An
indoor triathlon program will train beginners who would want to try the sport
in a perfectly safe environment. The program is designed to slowly build their
confidence to tackle longer distance triathlons in the future.
Triathletes
are used to training under extreme conditions like heat and rain. The Fitness
First Platinum Aura’s Multi-Sports Zone is a conducive indoor environment for
them to constantly improve their performance. It’s also an accessible and safe
environment to bike and run, away from the Metro’s traffic and pollution.
Instead
of travelling to far flung locations on weekends to train, triathletes can
conveniently visit the facility at the heart of the city any day of the week
and perfect their swim, bike and run performance in preparation for the next
big triathlon.

Just
like in the outdoors, this very first indoor triathlon training ground can be
maximized either in a structured group event or as an individual activity.
During
the launch, we were given a tour of the facilities before an actual Indoor
Triathlon Session was started. Several triathletes participated in the exciting
event which was a shortened version of the Indoor Tri Program.
The
signature Indoor Triathlon program involves swimming in the 3-lane, 24-meter
pool for a 10-minute swim, taking a grind on the stationary bike for a 30-minute
ride, before transitioning into the treadmill for a 20-minute run. All
distances are tallied then winners are determined based on the overall distance
measured across the three disciplines. However, the program is adaptable to the
skill levels of the participants, whether beginners or experienced
triathletes.
The
Philippine Triathlon Team vs the FitnessFirst Triathlon team went head to head in the indoor Triathlon Sprint. Team Fitness
First showed enormous heart and fighting spirit but in the end, Mark Hosana of
the Philippine Triathlon Team bested out all the other competitors by a big
margin. He even had to redo his run on the treadmill after one of the media
accidentally stepped on the plug and it had to be restarted.
We
also got the chance to chat with the Philippine Triathlon team, their coach and
also fellow fitness enthusiasts Bubbles Paraiso, Dyan Castillejo and Fitness First Country manager Mark Ellis about their
training, diet and mindset that makes certified “mamaws” in the sport. (full
interview about their secret trainings coming out soon)
“We
offer our members innovative activities to change their workout routine under
one roof. Recently, we introduced popular classes such as Aerial Yoga, Pole
Dancing and the Box Freestyle Group training. Today and moving forward, we know
that our members will be able to appreciate training for the triathlon with
this new Indoor Triathlon program as our main objective is to help everyone go
further and achieve their goals both in fitness and in life.” Mark Ellis adds.
Winners
were awarded with exciting prizes from Fitness First and its partners such as Sun
Life, Gatorade, Raw Bites, A Game, Nutrition Depot and Toby’s Estate.
