Testimonials

Having played team sport for most of my life I was a relative late comer to triathlon a couple of years ago. I had a goal this year of completing the London Marathon, and 2 weeks later undertaking IM 70.3 Mallorca whilst juggling a hectic work and family life. I was totally out of my depth when it came to training and was drowning in a sea of information and tips online. I approached Andy to help me with a plan to get me through both races as fit and healthy as possible. He has transformed my outlook on training, making it enjoyable for the first time in a long while. Everything in the plan is structured and serves a specific purpose. Each week I saw my fitness improve, all whilst remaining injury free. Even when doubts creep in Andy is there with the positive feedback and motivation you need to achieve the best results you can. I can’t recommend Andy and Fusion triathlon coaching enough and can’t wait to keep on building on what I have achieved this year.

“I’ve worked with Andy on / off for a number of years and couldn’t recommend him enough. A great guy you won’t regret working with, he cares, very experienced and he’s always happy to help.

Andy helped me go from zero to complete Staffordshire 70.3 and Portugal Full Ironman in 2023 - brilliant structured training that worked with my time (dad of 3 and full time work). Guidance in all aspects throughout the training but also mentally, nutrition, complete plans for race day and coming into race week. We hit those goals together and when I wanted to have another go he was the first person came to mind!

Andy recently helped me complete Alcudia, Majorca 70.3 and we’ll no doubt continue to work towards more in the years to come. If you have thoughts of completing an endurance event, Andy will for sure help you get there!”

Triathlon has been part of my life for almost twenty years, but I’d never really trained with much structure. After a few years away from the sport, I came back to a world of smart turbos, FTP tests, and training metrics — and honestly hadn’t a clue where to begin.

Turning 40 felt like the right time to commit properly, so I signed up for Ironman 70.3 Mallorca and approached Andy to help me get to the start line feeling as strong and healthy as possible.

Something just clicked. The training became enjoyable, my fitness steadily improved, and my confidence grew week by week. Even when I suffered a calf tear during training, Andy adapted the plan, kept me positive, and helped me stay focused on the bigger picture.

By race day, I was probably in the best shape of my life. Mallorca was tough and I didn’t quite hit my ambitious time goal, but I never doubted I had the fitness to finish. More importantly, I learned how to stay calm, adapt, and enjoy the experience even when things didn’t go perfectly.

I’m really excited to keep working with Andy and see what’s possible over the next few years.

I came to Andy with one goal — to complete Venice-Jesolo 70.3 healthy and strong. What I didn’t expect was to not only achieve that, but to go sub-6 hours and hit my A-goal.

Andy made the whole process simple, structured, and enjoyable. The training was realistic around everyday life, every session had a purpose, and my confidence grew week by week.

What stood out most was how he pushed me to improve while keeping me injury-free and enjoying the journey. Crossing that finish line in under 6 hours is something I genuinely never thought possible.

I’d highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a coach who gets the best out of you while keeping the process sustainable and enjoyable.

Although regular participants in long distance events, an Ironman still felt like an overly ambitious target for two training partners in their 60's, a few years ago! However In 2025, Hugh and I crossed the finish line at Ironman Barcelona - the result of a supportive training programme planned by Fusion Triathlon Training, which provided consistent training, carefully balanced around a work schedule and maintaining my other sporting activities.

The approach was steady and sustainable, building confidence as well as fitness over time. By the time race day arrived in Barcelona, the preparation spoke for itself and not only did I feel physically, but also mentally ready to take on the challenge. 

Thanks to Andy I am now the proud owner of an Ironman medal and my first tattoo...

Three years ago I joined South Lake Masters to learn front crawl and barely managed three sprint triathlons. A year later, Leslie and I signed up for Ironman Barcelona — something I never believed I could do at 67, but hoped the training would help my fitness and headspace.

Andy (Fusion Triathlon Coaching) built a realistic, steady plan around work, family and life. The training was never overwhelming and included the mountain running and biking we love. Andy made every session enjoyable and kept us motivated with constant positivity.

Tri Tyrone 70.3 was the turning point — his guidance was spot on, and for the first time I believed I might actually be capable of the full distance. By the final weeks I was in the best shape I’ve felt in years, and on race day his strategy worked perfectly.  With Andy’s support, I achieved something I once thought was impossible.

I went to Andy as a total non-runner apart from the odd 5k and to celebrate my 50th birthday or my midlife crisis as my wife puts it  I asked him to put a plan together for the Lisburn half marathon.  I found the training tough at the start but soon settled into it. The personal and professional approach by Andy not only improved my performance but also boosted my confidence.  I couldn't have done it without this exceptional support ! Thanks Andy!

I can't thank you enough for believing in me from the very beginning. Your guidance, quiet encouragement, and unwavering support were everything. Those epic days training in the Mournes weren’t just about fitness—they reminded me of what I was capable of. Completing the Norn Iron 100-mile Ultra was only possible because of the belief and confidence you helped build. You created a team I was proud to be part of and gave me the tools to turn the dream into reality.

'Could not recommend Fusion Triathlon Coaching enough. Patient with me, and a wealth of knowledge to help get me to the start line! If you have a goal you want to achieve these are the guys that will help you smash your goals!' 

Gareth nailed Barcelona Marathon in sub 3:50 hours on his first marathon.y marathon time. Andy went over and above to help and ensure I was able to meet my targets. Great coach!”

I went to Andy as a total non-swimmer who had never taken part in a triathlon before.  I struggled to swim 15 metres without being absolutely gassed! After multiple swim meets, a complete detailed program as well as regular feedback my fitness built over a period of 6 months. I got to the start line of my 70.3 excited to get in the water.  I couldn't recommend the guys at Fusion more - I hope to take part in another 70.3 and they will definitely by my first choice for coaching. 

I have been training with Andy for nearly a year and a half now and have seen, in my opinion, phenomenal improvements in my running.  The programme Andy sets for me is easy to follow and doable even with a really hectic, busy lifestyle. I love the sessions - although they scare me sometimes as they push me out of my comfort zone - but the benefits have been huge.  I've dropped 8 minutes off my marathon time and that's probably with less running than before.  I think one of the biggest benefits of this coaching is my confidence.
