Triathlon Training Camp with TriSutto coach Georges Baaklini.
The camp is for all athletes: from first-timers to Age-Group contenders and includes four days of swim, bike and run technique and performance coaching by TriSutto coach, Georges Baaklini. The camp is particularly suited to members of Georges’ triathlon squad.
Attendance for each week is strictly limited to 14 places. We’re based at the 4-star Aliathon Holiday Village and pricing is based on half-board accommodation with shared occupancy. Athletes arrive on Tuesday 2nd to train from Wednesday 3rd and leave Sunday 7th April (5 nights). Single occupancy and alternative configurations are available. Please see our full pricing.
We swim daily at the nearby Municipal pool where we have three dedicated lanes. We also have access to the neighbouring athletics track. Coastal paths, quiet roads and the hills behind Paphos provide the flexibility for all the run and bike sessions that we need, from brick repeats to longer easy rides.

All workouts are based around the needs of the individual and the group. There is, therefore, no standard "cookie-cutter" schedule.

Georges Baaklini

George is based in Beirut, Lebanon and works with athletes from all over the world. He speaks Arabic, English and French.
George has been a Physical Education teacher and a professional personal trainer for the past 20 years. He also has many years of experience as an athlete in competitive sports. He played basketball for seven years, football (soccer) for ten years, and ran track (the 100m, 200m and 400m sprints) for ten years, and finally joined the world of triathlon four years ago. He has participated in multiple Sprint, Olympic and 70.3 races and is still competing. Two years ago, he started coaching several athletes, where he’s had remarkable success. He recently became the Head Performance Coach for the biggest triathlon team in Lebanon: Triaddicts. George has a deep passion for helping others achieve their goals, so he decided to put all his effort, knowledge and experience to become the best coach he can be, which lead him to Trisutto. He started training under Trisutto Coach Perry Aggas in January 2017 and has experienced the productivity of the Trisutto coaching philosophy. George grew up in the Beirut, Lebanon and is married to Michelle has three children – Matteo, Gia and Marco.
"Last year, I wanted to do something different and had thought of taking part in a tri camp. I wasn't too sure at the time what was involved, but was very much drawn to the elite experience. When you've been in triathlon for many years and know the efforts you have to go individually to reach your own goals, to then be able to share that same experience in training alongside some elites, is definitely an experience not to miss."
