Simon has been coaching me for 18 months. When he started I was a struggling novice 10k runner and beginner triathlete. His personalized training plans have produced PBs in every event, and I now have the confidence and fitness to enter half marathons and longer triathlons. Simon is highly professional, patient, positive and supportive. He always makes time to talk through my training plan, my goals and targets and any concerns or questions I might have. I'd thoroughly recommend Simon as a coach, no matter your ability or experience.

Having known Simon since he was a squigglet and done triathlons for the past 25 years, it was really refreshing having a great coach talking you through what training to do for a specific race. You put your trust in someone else and then you do the work and end up with an amazing result. Makes things a 100 times easier with not only having a training plan but also someone to talk to and motivate you and explain what you are doing and why.

I used Paradise Triathlon Training in the run up to doing my first Ironman event. I found the training plan to be thorough, customised and varied across all three disciplines. Simon's SMART approach to training really works well making it possible to see clear improvements throughout the season. If you have a goal in mind, Simon will enable you to deliver on your targets. And, well, the photo says how well my plan worked for me. 5 stars.

My main sport is rowing but I generally like to just keep active and healthy. Simon has helped me on numerous occasions when I have needed guidance or reassurance in relation to nutrition or training in general. Simon looked at what i wanted to achieve and where I was and then tailored a programme that fitted in with my lifestyle. Simon has always been very helpful and more importantly realistic in the advice and guidance I have been given. Brilliant advice and very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommended.

Great coaching from Simon. Ensures that I kept on track and wasn't afraid to pull me up when going off piste!!! Continually keeps an eye on things through Training Peaks and offers support and compliments as needed. Very knowledge in all aspects of coaching and sports physiology

Simon is a great coach with a wealth of experience as a coach and an athlete. He is helping me move from "training to compete" towards "training to win", and his own background in professional racing is very helpful. There's definitely something to say for being coached by somebody who has been there and done that. Simon is also a mentor as I develop as a triathlon coach myself, and a very good friend.

Simon helped me prepare for my first Standard distance triathlon. He provided me with a very effective comprehensive training plan and was extremely patient answering all my questions. He is a great coach, very encouraging, positive and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and I will ask him to help me again for any future events I decide to do.

Always professional with coaching and advice around triathlon performance. Highly recommended, some people tell you what you want to hear when it would be detrimental, Simon tells it as it is and therefore gets the results with his coaching.

In 2015 I entered my first Ironman and approached Simon to help me with a training plan. Being a 44 year old recreational triathlete, business owner and mum of 2 teen boys, Simon produced a plan around my lifestyle which aimed to get me to the Ironman start line strong, with a goal of simply finishing. With Simon’s training plan and support, I achieved this dream and jumped straight back into the Ironman queue with a thirst for improvement. Simon was attentive to my goals and concerns and placed me on a more challenging programme aimed at competing rather than simply completing. The PBs soon followed in all distances, 5km, half marathon, marathon, standard distance tri, middle distance and ultimately Ironman where I won my age group, qualifying for the IM World Champs in Hawaii 2016. It doesn’t get much better than that for an ageing age grouper. There is no doubt that Simon’s varied and adaptable training programme, personable mentoring and immense knowledge of triathlon and performance, has been hugely instrumental in helping me achieve so many personal goals and I am incredibly grateful for his help! I would highly recommend Simon, who is an accomplished athlete himself, to anyone wanting a coach who is passionate about triathlon, listens and adapts, has a great sense of humour and is focussed on getting the absolute best out of you.

Simon's a great coach. I'd recommend him to athletes of all levels. He can definitely take your training and fitness to another level. As an elite athlete and family man, he can also relate to those of us who juggle work, family and training. 5 stars.

I've been training with Simon for the past month or so. I left club swimming 28 years ago. I have been Open Water Swimming for the past year but felt my stroke was letting me down & was being left behind. That's when a friend recommended Simon to me. With his guidance & training plan I have seen my stroke improve 10 fold. It much longer, efficient & less choppy. I now have a personalised plan to crack on with & am looking forward to it. Thanks Simon for your time, it's much appreciated.

Just a few short weeks ago, I was unsure if my unstructured running ways could ever be changed. I didn't think I could ever get any faster, stronger, better, however, I have. With the training programming geniously designed by Simon, I have been able to pace more consistently & push through harder terrain. As a result, my breathing has improved and I have been able to shave significant time off my previous finish times. No matter the day or difficulty of a session, Simon provides on-time feedback, encouragement & always with positive support. From all the way in New York City - there is nowhere else I care to go than to Paradisetri & Simon's team for any running needs & support. They are the only A-Team needed.

Simon was my Triathlon Assessor on my level 2 coach course and was very impressed then. I decided recently I need a personal coach for myself and very impressed with wealth of knowledge and passion of the sport. Looking forward to working with him more and seeing my times and results sky rocket..:-)

Simon was my first coach when I switched from running to triathlon. Following a structured personalised programme with fast access to advice when I had questions significantly reduced the amount of time I spent injured, 100% the main barrier to my improvement at the time. I improved loads in all three sports. I would thoroughly recommend.

T. G.

Simon is a dedicated professional who provides great value to everyone he works with. Our experience with him has been a pleasure and I'd recommend his services to everyone!

I was coached by Simon at Paradise Triathlon for my first ironman. After an intial consultation where we discussed and assessed my current fitness and goals, a structured training plan was developed. Simon gave me guidence throughout and frequently adapted the plan to suit how my fitness was developing. The structure, one on one coaching and expertise were outstanding and I have since gone on to finish multiple IM races. I would 100% recommend Paradise Tri to any established or aspiring triathlete.

I have been training with Paradise Tri and Simon Brierley since June 2016 and still do . I am a family man and a father of two baby kids and also i am running my buisiness (restaurant/bar). Since i joined Paradise Tri i have achieved all my targets i have put and every year i raise the bar even higher. Back in June 2016 when i met Simon in Cyprus i was just getting into triathlon doing sprints and olympic distance races .I told him that i wanted to take part at K1 middle distance race here in Cyprus and that i wanted a professional and experienced coach to achieve my goal. We sat down and talked about my weekly schedule at work and about my family status as these two come first for me and decided how we proceed with training . Since June 2016 with Simon i have finished all my races (2x 70.3 Ironman , 1x Athens Marathon , 1 x 1/2 Marathon several local running 10km races and several olympic and sprint triathlon races ) i have entered within my timing targets . Simon kept me injury free since i joined him and also kept me fresh and motivated on my race days. Also i keep the right balance in my life with work , family and training . Looking forward for another busy year of training with Simon as my biggest goal is to finish an 140.6 Ironman. We have planed already the year ahead and set the targets. I couldn't ask for more as with Simon i have achieved all these that looked impossible 18 months ago. Thank you Simon and Paradise Tri for all !!!

I have only been coached by Simon for 10 weeks now after meeting him in Austria, professional to a tee, I could only run approx 5km at the time, I’ve dabbled with Triathlon and never had a training strategy before, after doing my first FTP test I can now run upto Half Marathon distance, weekly training Track Tempo and Endurance runs. Recently had a Swim and Run Tech analysis, with swimming now being added to my programme, my aims next year (2018) are Olympic, Half distance Triathlon, and half marathons. The final goal for me is to do a Full Distance Triathlon and with what I’ve achieved so far with Simon I have no fears that I won’t achieve my dreams and aspirations.

P. N.

I have been training with Simon for two months. Thanks to him, I've improved my swimming skill and endurance. Simon is a superb coach. Five stars.

R. M.

Had very good experience with Simon! He is open, educated, gladly shares his experience from his long career. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or a pro you can always learn a trick or two from him :-)!

R. G.

Simon developed an Ironman training plan to fit my lifestyle and was easy to follow. It gave me confidence that I could do a long distance triathlon. I just followed the plan and completed my first ironman - thank you.

S. H.

Simon has helped me achieve PB''s across all 3 disciplines!! My running times especially came tumbling down when I started his training plan, results that seemed impossible before where literally smashed. Thank you!!

G. K.

Paradise TriathlonTraining gives every athlete from beginner to elite athlete essential skills to succeed in every triathlon distance from supersprint distance to Ironman. I have personal experience with Paradise Training Coach Simon Brierly who trained me in Cyprus i felt so confident in finishing strong olympic distance triathlon , Simon Brierly who coached me gave me great confidence in continuing participating in triathlons. I highly recommend Paradise Triathlon
