3YO Triathlon training camps provide athletes with a dedicated and specific time to focus all of their energy on training, learning and recovering, without the distractions of day-to-day life. In many ways, you are experiencing the professional lifestyle – where you don’t have to think about anything other than being ready for the next session...The rest is our job!
There are so many benefits for attending training camps aside from just the physical training itself. Training with like-minded people
when you put a group together, they bring the best out in each other. Our Triathlon training camps allows you to simply focus on training and recovery, leaving your regular routine and other distractions behind for a couple of days. As long as you look after your recovery, you will gain the benefits of a big spike in training load (training overload) a few weeks after you return home from the camp.

Facilities
The high performance training facilities are based in the heart of Stellenbosch. Our training camps includes access to a heated 50m Olympic size pool (FINA Standard), ten lanes with a constant depth of 2 meters. In the summer months it is frequented visited by pro triathletes like Flora Duffy, Bradley Weiss and James Cunnama and many more international pro's wishing to escape the European winter. Besides the 50m pool we also make use of a 25m indoor pool. Don't be surprised when you have a whole 50m lane for yourself.
Next to the pool you will find the brand new athletic tartan track and a 400m grass track. The gym facility contains 3 large different weight training areas, cardio equipment. Group sessions include spinning, yoga and pilates. There is also a dedicated recovery centre complete with 3 ice baths and a contrasting warm bath.
-10 Celsius & 70km/h wind in Geneva - makes one want to go to some sunny, warm place... Escape to South Africa for some cycling & running with Annchen Clarke (Kona World Championships finisher) and Bram Peereboom(MTB champ) - these two make the most amazing training camps! Top-notch coaching, assured security (in SA!) and a lot of extra attention: sharing with us a bit of their South African dolce vita (wine, wine and more wine!) <3 Dankie Annchen & Bram!
In case you were wondering I did sneak in some time for my iron man training in South Africa! Overdue thank you to Bram & Annchen for arranging out cycling, swimming & running adventures and taking me in as part of the family! I had such a wonderful time, despite having a little too much wine the day before! All my love!
Training in Stellenbosch is a MUST for all triathlon or multisport athletes! Annchen & Bram are super hosts and coaches offering a really focused and personal training camp. I could not recommend more packing your bike up and heading to 3YO in the stunning Western Cape with first class international athlete facilities. You may even bump into a pro-star or two!
Annchen has been my coach now for a year and wow what a year achieves. Its been an exciting, rewarding and educational journey and I have felt supported through everything. That final piece beyond just a training plan where coach Annchen takes the individual into account 'me' on my triathlon journey. I am in Ireland so don't let distance put you off when it comes to choosing your coach.I wish I could be there for more individual work and plan on doing so as soon as possible but the distance has never been an issue. I recommend 3YO.
There is no denying that every trip changes our way of thinking and seeing the world. It is almost impossible to travel to a different place, to experience new things, to live incredible adventures and then to remain as if nothing had happened. An internal click type occurs! But surely travel is striking in different ways: some are more philosophical and make you rethink your life; while others take your breath away and leave you full of adrenaline.
There are priceless experiences, and one of them this time was to practice triathlon in an incredible place and counting on the great help of a local specialized company, the @3yo_trainingcamps
