Coaches

We have a variety of coaches to help you reach your goals - a mix of good cop & bad cop, The Bondi Fit Way!!!

 

Meet Bondi Fit’s new coach – Debi Hazelden
Become one of Debi’s Devils

The speed demon will utilise her talents to help beginner's gain skills and confidence on the bike at Tuesday’s Rookie Bike session and focus on technique and speed at Thursday’s Swim Test Sets. No more lazy Sunday afternoons – she is hosting a new surf swim at Coogee at 3pm.

Debi really is an angel who loves helping beginners to improve their skills and  overcome their fears. She guides seasoned athletes to get faster, stronger and shows them how to train smarter to overcome setbacks.

Her take on is anything possible – ‘shit yeah’.

Bondi Fit’s newest team member has crossed the Tasman to take on the local triathlon scene. She completed the Melbourne Ironman in 9 hours 49 minutes after a bike crash injury jeopardised her running preparation for her first full Ironman.

Debi’s won sprint and Olympic distance races, qualified for the 2013 Vegas World Championships and placed fourth at the 2012 IRONMAN 70.3 Port Macquarie and Canberra races.
