Lee Gardner

Having coached triathletes professionally since 2004, Trismarter Head Coach, Lee Gardner has gained experience by working with each athlete on a personal and very detailed level to help those he coaches achieve their goals. Learning what each athlete needs to perform at his or her very best and incorporating this into a personalized training program that includes, not simply a training plan, but real, hands-on guidance, is basis for Lee’s coaching philosophy. He believes that it is important to train with intelligence and motivation, while maintaining an high level of enjoyment for the sport.

As a coach, Lee strives to provide detailed guidelines, but also to help his clients understand why each workout will provide forward momentum in reaching success. It is equally important for the athlete to understand that there are no real short-cuts and reaching goals will take time and effort combined, along with an efficient and personalized triathlon training program.
