What winter training is

This is a training season, not a one-day clinic. Triathlon sessions can include swimming, cycling, running, and strength. Running sessions work on speed, endurance, and form. GFF has offered triathlon and running tracks, with flexible attendance and full-season or month-to-month options. How you enroll, including whether those paths are separate, is listed with enrollment.

Who it is for

  • Youth athletes ages 6–18, all skill levels. Younger athletes need Coach Joella’s approval — ask about winter training.
  • Kids coming off Fall Cross Country, triathletes, track athletes, and beginners.
  • Families who can commit to weekday indoor sessions once the calendar is published in TeamSnap.

What athletes can expect

  • Coach-led swim, bike, run, and strength work, plus dedicated running coaching.
  • Flexible attendance when the calendar is live: athletes come to the sessions that fit their week.
  • Optional racing later in the year. GFF athletes often use winter training as a base for events such as the Reindeer Race and spring triathlon season. Racing is not required.
  • Fees, session counts, and month-to-month options are listed with enrollment.

Questions families ask

How do we enroll?

Use the button at the top of this page. It opens the current winter offering when registration is available.

Is this triathlon, running, or both?

The program includes triathlon skills and running coaching. Whether this winter uses one offering or separate triathlon and running sign-ups is listed with enrollment.

Can we bring a stroller or a dog to training?

No. Winter Youth Training sessions are for registered athletes and coaches in indoor training spaces, not a stroller or dog activity.

What is the refund policy for winter training?

Ask Coach Joella about refunds for this training season. Get Fit Families does not apply the holiday-race refund rule to Winter Youth Training. Email her at joella@zoominternet.net or ask about winter training.
