🚨 MASSIVE shout out to Ken Parsons Ken Parsons for an incredible achievement this weekend! 👏🥇
Not content with completing one triathlon, Ken completed THREE triathlons across TWO days! 😱💪
What’s even more impressive is that his biggest challenge wasn’t the running or cycling—it was overcoming a fear of open water swimming.
Here’s what Ken had to say:
“Before taking on the Weekend Warrior Triathlon, I knew my biggest challenge wasn’t going to be the running or cycling – it was going to be overcoming my fear of open water swimming.
For the last few years, I’ve been working with Jamie Bain at Strength Made Simple, and I can honestly say that the sessions we did together formed the foundation of everything I achieved over the weekend. Jamie helped build my strength, fitness and cardio to a level where I knew they weren’t going to let me down. That gave me the confidence to focus on the bigger challenge – tackling the mental battle of getting into open water and dealing with the fear that comes with it.
When things got tough during the event, I was drawing on the strength, fitness and resilience that had been built week after week in those training sessions. Knowing that my body was prepared allowed me to keep going when my mind was being tested.
If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about helping people achieve their goals, whatever they may be, I can’t recommend Jamie and Strength Made Simple highly enough.
Thank you, Jamie. Your coaching played a huge part in getting me to that finish line.”
We’re incredibly proud of Ken. This is exactly why we do what we do.
Strength training isn’t just about lifting heavier weights or building muscle. It’s about building confidence, resilience, and a body you can trust when it matters most.
Whether your goal is to complete a triathlon, lose weight, get stronger, keep up with your kids, or simply feel better every day, the right training gives you the foundation to achieve it.
Amazing effort, Ken. Enjoy celebrating a well-earned achievement! 👏🏊🚴🏃
