Hey, just wondering if anyone is a member....

I've been thinking about joining but don't know the price ??? the website says dues: $50, but doesn't specify if it is monthly, annual, week ????

Any reviews about the club/training sessions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks

Tom

Great club!
Hard Training Members!
The club is growing fast, and the fee was started this year from what I understand. When I signed up in January it was an annual fee.

Not part of the club but have raced with a lot of them before.

From what I've seen they always seem to dominate AG rankings as well as overall rankings.  Very solid group of athletes and from what it looks like, they train very well together.

I'm pretty sure their membership fee is annual.

Anyways, I'd recommend joining if you are serious about finding a great training group.

Thanks for the reply....

I'm looking for someone/group to train in Orlando, I have done a few sprints and a Oly before, but have been away for a year and a half, so if they are too strong I'm afraid I will not keep up!!!

I will give them a call and talk, maybe train or watch them before!!!

have you thought of starting one ???? You might have more people than you think that are thinking the exact same thing !!!!

Again, thank you all !!!

A friend of mine is in the Central Florida Tri Club and loves it (www.cfltriclub.com). Their club is based out of the Downtown YMCA and I think the coach works at the Y.

As for a club in Ocala, I spoke with Ben Marciano ,our Y director, and he would love to start a club at our Y. They have almost raised enough money to buy a pool heater ($36,000) to keep it open all year. All we need is a coach! They have a new swim director who is an accomplished swimmer and a spin instructor who ran Crystal River Sprint last week and is fast. The Ocala runners club (www.ocalarun.org) already meets at the Y every morning. I think we could put something together.

hey f18gtr, thanks for that info.

my wife and i just last week dropped our Y membership because i invested in some home equipment and bike trainer and didn't use the Y that much.   i swim at the MRMC pool now for training.

i am interested in a club if one were to get started.   it would be nice to have some friends to do some rides with.  

let me know if anything develops.

They work hard & Hector Torres seems to do a great job with planning & motivation (he's a good community organizer - heh).   A newbie buddy of mine started working out w/ them early this year & has made some pretty impressive gains. 

I would definitely join them but working out downtown in the morning isn't convenient for me (I live in Windermere).

Hey Guys,

Here is an excerpt from this week's email from Coach Hector:

Groups
Remember the CFL Tri Club has several groups:


Downtown - Tue-Wed-Thu - Sat and Sun
Blanchard Park - Mon and Wed
Dr. Phillips - Mon and Fri
Tri Divas - Mon and Tue


If you can't make it to your assigned sessions... you are more than welcome to join another group. We are a big family and everyone is welcome there is a level for everyone.

The $50.00 fee is annual and there are all levels of ability in the club. There are group workouts all over the city.

You should send an email in. It is a great club.
