Triathlon: IRONMAN UK gets in a spin with Spinervals!

The IRONMAN UK Triathlon is pleased to announce that they have teamed up with Active Sports and Spinervals to provide each IRONMAN UK athlete with a complete Spinervals DVD training program (£17.99 value) in their Athlete Registration bag.

The deal sees Spinervals become the "Official DVD Trainer of IRONMAN UK" and allies the UK's toughest triathlon with the toughest and most demanding series of DVD Trainers on the market.

Ron Thorne, Race Director of IRONMAN UK, comments: "Spinervals is a great link for IRONMAN UK, as they both deliver a high quality product that is tough, demanding and ultimately rewarding. We are pleased to be associated with Spinervals and thank Active Sports for the involvement in making this deal happen."

Lars Rønning, Managing Director and founder of Active Sports, believes Spinervals and IRONMAN UK are ideally suited saying "The type of athlete that takes on the IRONMAN looks for quality training products that can help them accomplish their dreams and goals. Spinervals provide the best workouts on the market and can really push athletes - at any level and ambition, from beginner to professional - to their goals".

Spinervals produce a complete range of DVD titles for "turbo" trainers (such as Cycleops), stationary spinning bikes and treadmills. These encompass all aspects of training from base building, fat burning, time trialling, hill climbing, sprints and high quality anaerobic work to recovery sessions. The range consists of 30 different titles in the categories Fitness, Competition and Runervals (for running workouts), with more titles planned for release later this year. Presented by Troy Jacobson, renowned Cycling and Triathlon coach and former professional Ironman racer they offer a great workout what ever your ability.
