COMPETITION TRAINING AT TYC
BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE.
PROVEN ON THE COMP FLOOR.
Competition is part of the DNA at The Yard Club.
Our athletes compete in local, national, and international events, across functional fitness and endurance racing, from everyday categories through to RX.
From 10Ks, half marathons, marathons, and ultra-distance events to high-level functional fitness competitions, we prepare athletes to perform through structured, periodised training and expert coaching.

The Competitions We Train For
We support athletes competing in:
• Functional fitness competitions (individuals, pairs & teams)
• Engine-focused and hybrid competitions
• 10K, half marathon, marathon & ultra-marathon events
• Local events through to national and international competitions
• Divisions ranging from everyday participation to RX
Our training develops the engine, strength, durability, and resilience required to compete across disciplines.

Coaches Who Have Been There and Done It
Our coaching team doesn’t coach competition from theory — they’ve lived it.
Our coaches have:
• Competed on the functional fitness competition floor
• Raced marathons, ultra-marathons, and endurance events
• Experienced the demands of multi-event competition weekends
• Managed high training volumes, fatigue, and long-term progression
That experience shapes how we coach:
• Smarter training, not just harder training
• Realistic race preparation and pacing strategies
• Understanding when to push and when to pull back
• Building athletes who last beyond a single season

Experts in Competition Preparation
We specialise in competition prep, not general fitness.
Our approach is built around:
• Periodised training cycles aligned to competition calendars
• Aerobic base and engine development
• Strength and functional capacity to support endurance and hybrid racing
• Skill development, movement efficiency, and race execution
• Structured build, peak, and taper phases
The goal is simple: arrive on competition day ready to perform.

Engine & Functional Fitness Focus
Whether you’re racing an ultra or navigating multiple workouts across a competition weekend, success comes down to engine management and execution under fatigue.
Our programming prioritises:
• Aerobic capacity and threshold development
• Running economy and long-term durability
• Strength training that supports endurance performance
• Hybrid conditioning for functional fitness competitions
• Consistent output across multiple events
This creates athletes who can compete with confidence.
