Coach Nate Helming specializes in building stronger athletes. His clients—who include Kona, ITU World Championship and Boston marathon qualifiers—can go long in part because of the intense workouts he designs. “Strength training is a secret weapon for triathletes,” he says. “It allows you to train hard, then go out and do it all over again. It's also terrific insurance against the nagging little injuries that endurance sports can bring on.”

Like coaches Duane and Dorette Franks, Nate is a student of the science behind triathlon. His background in public health gives him unique insights on physiology, technique and nutrition. The Trifiniti method works for him: In only his third year of competition he nailed a 9:49 Ironman, which qualified him for Kona and for the Clearwater 70.3 Championship. And Trifiniti works for Nate's clients, who have taken age group titles at Wildflower, Escape from Alcatraz and Vineman 70.3.

Nate holds coaching credentials and certifications from USA Triathlon, the American College of Sports Medicine and USA Cycling.
