FAQ

If the details shown on the page aren't enough, feel free to contact us so we can guide you to the best plan for you among Tri Club Athletic, FLEX, Premium, or private coaching.TRI CLUB ATHLETIC: As a general rule, if you want a simple plan to guide you, and you're self-sufficient, the standard version is enough. Make sure your season goal is part of our proposed plans. TRICLUB FLEX: If you want the plan to adjust more precisely to your goals and your schedule, but without needing a coach's support, then the FLEX version is right.TRICLUB PREMIUM: If the standard plan or the Flex are your choice but you'd like a coach's support via a 30-minute meeting per month, the Premium plan gives you that flexibility.PRIVATE COACHING: If you want an individualized plan with a coach's support to discuss, understand and optimize your training, then private coaching is the solution: you have the Premium option that adds INSCYD tests so you can work with the same level of data as the PROs.

TriClub Athletic: The Tri Club offers you a training plan to do on your own or by organizing with your friends or via the BC athletes group. For swimming you can join the SwimSmooth-certified BartCoaching SwimSquad, see details on our website. www.bartoaching.com/natation Otherwise there are no supervised group workouts, except in special cases and events (training camps, etc...)

All plans: The workouts are all compatible with the usual platforms (Zwift, MyWhoosh, Rouvy, Trainer Road, PerfPro, etc...). However, since access to TP Virtual is free with the Training Peaks subscription, we favor this platform. It's 100% integrated with your TP calendar and lets you ride with the Bart Coaching kit... virtually! ;) Note that the Training Peaks subscription is discounted for active Bart Coaching athletes.

TrainingPeaks is the #1 coaching platform in the world. It lets the coach send you the training plan, which is then accessible on all apps such as Zwift, Rouvy, Garmin, Polar, Coros, Wahoo... Training appears as a calendar. There's also an app available for your phone. You can also sync your watch and other devices that record your activities to Training Peaks to compile your workouts and track your progress.There is no extra fee for you to use the standard version. The paid version lets you say bye-bye to virtual cycling platform fees like Zwift or Rouvy because it includes free access to the TP Virtual platform, and is offered to you at a discount via the promo code reserved for active BartCoaching members.

TriClub Athletic: The TriClub Athletic plan gives you access to a detailed training plan with different options so you can adapt it easily. During the kickoff meeting the coach gives you the instructions to modify it on your side if needed, but you'll be self-sufficient. FLEX If you chose the option FLEX, the plan we've pre-established based on your profile and goals is updated every Sunday according to your individual goals and availability. In addition, our coach in charge, Alex Diotte, reviews the plan before it's published.In both cases, an initial meeting is scheduled with the coach to guide you in your first steps. Afterwards you can schedule additional monthly meetings via the plan PREMIUM if you have questions, and above all you can use the FB group exclusive to BartCoaching athletes to ask your questions; the coach or other members can then help you.

The plan is made for certain main races in Quebec (see the relevant question in the FAQ or contact Coach Eric for more details).If you need a plan tailored to other more specific races, then select the FLEX option or private coaching.

When you sign up you can choose when your subscription starts. Ideally choose the beginning of a month to make management easier :)

Yes, you can change your plan at any time, simply notify by email at eric.boulanger@bartcoaching.com Il n'y a d'ailleurs pas d'engagement sur les plans TriClub.

To properly do the workouts the platform generates on your Training Peaks calendar, you'll need a Premium subscription to their service. Otherwise, the workouts will only be published on your calendar day by day. Note that this subscription is available to you at a reduced price via the discount code reserved for BartCoaching members and that it includes free access to the TP Virtual virtual cycling platform, making a subscription to another platform like Zwift, Rouvy or another unnecessary.
