Flexibility to Adapt
Need to adjust your plan? Whether it feels too challenging, too easy, or you’ve signed up for a different event, you can switch plans at any time. Your subscription ensures you are always working towards your goals with the right training.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. You’re free to cancel your Alpha State coaching subscription at any time—no long-term commitment required. We believe in offering flexibility and value, not contracts.
Can I be trained with an injury?
Absolutely. Our coaches and physiotherapists regularly work with athletes managing injuries. We’ll adapt your training to help you recover safely while maintaining fitness wherever possible. Injury doesn’t mean stopping—it means training smarter.
I have health issues, can you work around this?
Yes. We take your health seriously. With appropriate medical clearance, we’ll tailor your plan around your needs and limitations, ensuring your safety and progress remain our top priorities.
I’m very busy with my day job, will I be able to train?
Definitely. Our plans are designed for real people with busy lives. We build training schedules around your availability, ensuring workouts are time-efficient, flexible, and sustainable.
How many days a week do I need to train?
This depends on your goals and available time. Most athletes train 3–6 days per week. We personalise your plan to fit your lifestyle while still making meaningful progress toward your objectives.
How will Alpha State coaching improve my mental health?
We don’t just focus on physical performance. Structured training, expert support, and being part of the Alpha State community can boost confidence, reduce stress, and build mental resilience. Training becomes a tool for overall wellbeing—not just racing.
I have plateaued with my training, how do I keep improving?
Plateaus are common—but they’re not permanent. We’ll assess your training history, introduce strategic changes like intensity variation, technique work, and recovery optimisation to reignite progress and performance.
I come from a Team Sport background and worried Triathlon is a bit lonely?
You’re not alone. At Alpha State, we’ve built a strong community of like-minded athletes who support and motivate each other. Our group sessions, team events, and community chat groups help bring that team sport spirit into your endurance journey.
Is Strength Training worth adding in, even if that means replacing another training session?
100% yes. Strength training is essential for injury prevention, efficiency, and performance. Even replacing one endurance session per week with targeted strength work can lead to huge long-term gains. We’ll guide you on how to fit it in effectively.
It is the responsibility of the athlete to arrange contact time with the coach. Monthly fee due via subscription during the checkout process. Cancellation terms - You can cancel at anytime, you have nothing to lose.
