Here is the exciting update you have been waiting for...

Hello everyone!
 
With the new year comes an exciting new training and retail experience in London for multisport athletes.   Darryl Bondy and I have been working hard to bring you a new centre in town for swimming, cycling and running enthusiasts.   Part of this new concept is a training studio with space for spin classes, a CompuTrainer Multirider Suite, a dual lane Endless Pool, bike fit studio, consulting rooms for coaches and therapists.   The other half of the equation is a shop that fully understands the needs of multisport athletes.   No more searching all over town or having to travel up to 2 hours to find your training and racing gear.   Find it all in one place.    Multisport Zone will be opening its doors in February of 2009 at the north east corner of Southdale and Wharncliffe (just down from Herms). 
 
Prior to February, Multisport Zone will begin offering our coaching packages which cater to athletes of all levels and experience.   Are you gearing up for your first triathlon ever or your 10th half ironman?    Whatever your focus, we have the knowledge and experience to take you to the next level of training, racing, and satisfying your passion for the sport.   Our coaching programs will initially be offered in conjunction the newly renovated facility at the Bob Hayward Y on Hamilton Rd in London.   Then when the training studio opens, many of the workouts will transition to the new location.
 
Here is a description of the coaching packages that will be available through Multisport Zone by our certified coaches.

Thanks for the info. It's true, there does not seem to be a lot geared to multisport in the area. I emailed multisport-zone re: a grand opening date. I'll let you all know what I find out.
