Home Up Florence Area Triathletes Club

The Florence Area Triathletes (FAT) Club was established in 2004 due to the increased interest in triathlons in our area. The Fitness Forum is the host for our local sprint triathlon called Tri the Pee Dee. 

The goal of our club is to encourage individuals from beginner  exercisers to experienced athletes to compete in multisport events. By encouraging participation the ultimate goal of a healthy lifestyle is easier to obtain. The Fitness Forum is the host organization for the Club however membership is open to all individuals throughout the Pee Dee regardless of their affiliation with the Fitness Forum.

Visit the FAT Club Website for more information. For a membership application click here.

 Triathlon Training Options Offered at the Fitness Forum

Below is some basic information of services we offer at the Fitness Forum to supplement or enhance your triathlon training program. 
If you want to train with other people, we have several classes here at the Forum that would get you ready. They are not competitive with others in the classes but they are designed to give you a good workout in all three disciplines.

Spinning Classes - will improve your biking endurance and technique

Brick classes- will improve your running and your transition from the bike to the run.

Swimming sessions with a coach will help point out technique issues and just give you time in the water needed to build your endurance.

All of these are free to our members. If you want one-on-one training, Karen Leatherman offers these training tools and packages.
She has a masters degree in Exercise Physiology from the University of South Carolina and is a USA Triathlon Certified Coach.
