Vicky Tzedaki
Powerwatts Coach
I love helping people ease into a healthy and active lifestyle with a “Make it fun” attitude. Having worked in Fitness for almost a decade, I know that there is never a bad day when training.
Every effort is possible with a smile on your face! Teaching Cycle is not a job for me but a great way to interact with people and have fun while working out. You will always leave the class feeling great after my workouts!
Kieran Green
Powerwatts Coach
My background is in Triathlon, competing for 5 years to eventually qualifying for national and European championships.
So I understand the importance of discipline to achieve physical goals.
Training and competing in swimming, cycling and Running events require a structured approach but must be enjoyable to be sustainable over the season. (On or off)
Turbo training was always a big part of my training on the bike because it’s fun and gives the legs a boost on the road.
My passion through coaching gives me an opportunity to sure my passion for cardiovascular sports.
