Day to day
How coaching works
Every workout is uploaded to TrainingPeaks and can be pushed straight to your watch for in-workout guidance. After each session the data comes back automatically, along with sleep and health data from your wearable, and Gareth reviews it at the frequency your tier sets.
You can leave notes on energy, stress or travel as you go. Contact happens by call, video, text and email, again depending on tier. Every athlete trains with a heart-rate monitor and keeps a daily training journal.

Nutrition coaching for endurance athletes
A three-month overhaul of food, fueling and supplementation — body composition, immune health, race fuel and training fuel. It starts with an in-depth analysis of current diet, gut and health issues, including supplements and race fuels, then a custom prescription and food rotation plan. Bi-weekly 15-minute follow-up calls and a 30-minute three-month check-in keep it on track.

The lab
Plans built from lab data
Coaching starts from numbers measured in the lab, not a formula. Most people begin with a test at ECLYPSE Fitness Lab, then retest every9–12 weeks so the work stays on the physiology you actually have.

Coaching
How does coaching work day to day?
Every workout is uploaded to TrainingPeaks and can be pushed straight to your watch for in-workout guidance. Your data uploads back automatically after each session, along with sleep and health data from your wearable, and Gareth reviews it at the frequency your tier sets. You can leave notes on energy, stress or travel as you go. Contact happens by call, video, text and email, again depending on tier. Every athlete trains with a heart-rate monitor and keeps a daily training journal.
Do I need to live in Los Angeles, or even the USA, to be coached?
No. Gareth coaches athletes all over the world, many of whom travel constantly. Most come to the lab in Santa Monica for their initial testing, and where that is not possible he arranges testing with a provider local to you so the programme still starts from real data.
What equipment do I need?
The essentials are the basic kit for your sport plus a heart-rate monitor with a chest strap. Ideally you would also have a sleep tracker such as an OURA ring or WHOOP, a power meter if you ride, an indoor trainer, and access to a gym, a track or treadmill, and regular massage or chiropractic care. A budget for fuel and supplements matters too.
I am never going to win anything, but I want to be my best. Can I still apply?
Yes. Gareth works with driven people who want to reach their true potential, whatever level that starts from. Wanting to be excellent matters more than what you can currently do.
I hate racing but I want to train properly. Is that OK?
Yes. Training seriously without racing is a superb way to stay fit and in prime condition, and it is how Gareth lives himself. Plenty of the athletes he coaches never pin on a number.
My time is limited. Can I still get somewhere on an hour a day?
Yes. You will struggle with the longest races on that budget, and Gareth will tell you so honestly. But an hour a day, programmed properly around your actual life, goes a very long way — and building the plan around the time you genuinely have is the whole point.
