360 Degree Sports Lab offers four triathlon products, each varying in the degree of supervision.

Independent program

This is the most basic plan and is purely online. It is best suited for long distance coaching of athletes unable to attend supervised classes, located in other geographic regions or just wanting guidance through a program.  Assessments, program design, coaching guidance and feedback are all done on-line. Athletes will have access to self-assessment protocols to establish baseline data and exercise technique video footage to demonstrate aspects of the strength program.                   

Semi-Supervised Program

This program involves an initial period of supervision during the assessment and program design phase. After an initial assessment and program design, the athletes attend four (4) supervised sessions where the athletes are taught strength exercise technique, bike heart rate/ power zones and field running drills. Athletes then train twice a week at the Sports Lab facility in a semi-supervised capacity. Further, athletes signed up for a Semi-supervised program will get additional access to the facility to train unsupervised at no extra cost. After eight (8) weeks, athletes will be re-assessed to determine progress and program effectiveness. Feedback and adjustments will be made where necessary.                                                                                                                                              

 Fully-Supervised Program

This program has the highest degree of supervision, after the assessment and program design the athlete will get three (3) supervised sessions per week for the duration of the program. This program has the highest level of supervision and athletes will receive feedback and guidance on a weekly/daily basis. The supervised sessions will be a mix of strength, running and indoor bike, depending on the phase of the program.                                                                                                                                      

Combination

This allows the athlete to choose a combination of the Semi-supervised and Independent programs. Athletes can do the initial testing and supervised sessions of the Semi-supervised program and then train independently from that point on. The athlete can then choose to return after 8 weeks for re-testing or do the self-evaluation test battery.
