One-on-one cycling, triathlon, running, and race-support experiences built around your race, your fitness, and your idea of an unforgettable training block.
For serious athletes, busy professionals, couples, and small private groups who want expert coaching, real-world feedback, beautiful routes, and a fully personal endurance experience, not a generic camp.
Private Endurance Camps in Kona & Beyond
For select athletes
Built for athletes who want more than a generic camp and more than a one-off session
Not a generic camp. Not a mass-tourism package.
Most endurance camps are built around the group. You show up, follow the schedule, and hope the sessions fit your goals.
This is different.
A private camp is built around you: your race, your fitness, your limiters, your schedule, your personality, and the kind of experience that would actually make the trip worth it.
Some athletes want race-specific preparation. Some want a big cycling adventure. Some want course recon, pacing, fueling, and calm support before an important event. Some want a few unforgettable days of training in a beautiful place with a coach who can guide the work, handle the details, and make the experience feel personal.
The goal is simple: come away fitter, clearer, more confident, and with a story you actually want to remember.
Why work together in person?
Online coaching can be powerful. But some things are easier to see, feel, and solve in the real world.
How you climb when the road gets long.
How you pace when excitement takes over.
How you fuel when fatigue builds.
How you descend, swim, move, breathe, recover, and make decisions under pressure.
That is where in-person coaching becomes valuable.
I bring 20+ years inside endurance sport, from high-level racing to coaching athletes across the US and Europe. But the real value is not just expertise. It is judgment: knowing when to push, when to adjust, when to simplify, and how to turn a few focused days into progress you can carry forward.
Serious training can still feel alive.
This is not just about doing more work.
It can be a long climb in a new place.
A quiet coffee after a hard ride.
A course recon that finally makes the race feel manageable.
A swim, ride, or run where the training becomes a real conversation.
A few days where someone else helps carry the planning, structure, and decision-making so you can focus on the experience.
Some parts are technical: pacing, fueling, testing, technique, race strategy.
Some parts are human: trust, conversation, confidence, adventure, and the feeling of doing something meaningful with someone who actually understands the sport..

What we can build the camp around
Performance
Testing, zones, pacing, training structure, climbing, endurance, intensity control, and race-specific preparation.
Technique
Swim, bike, run, movement quality, descending, climbing mechanics, transition flow, and sport-specific execution.
Fueling & environment
Hydration, carbs, heat, altitude, long-day fueling, gut training, and practical race-day systems.
Race execution
Course recon, pacing plans, terrain strategy, decision-making, logistics, and calm support before or during a key event.
Experience
Epic rides, destination training days, meaningful routes, local knowledge, coffee stops, ocean swims, and private adventures built around what would make the trip unforgettable.
Storytelling
Optional photo and video capture can be added for athletes or small groups who want to document the experience.
Common formats
Private Kona Camp
A 2–5 day private endurance camp in Kona built around your goals. Ideal for athletes who want heat, climbing, ocean swims, Ironman energy, and a world-class training environment.
Destination Camp
I travel to you, or we build a camp around the right location for your goal. This can be a cycling block, triathlon weekend, altitude camp, climbing preparation, or a custom race-specific experience.
Race-Week Support
High-touch support before and during an important event: course recon, pacing, fueling, logistics, equipment checks, emotional steadiness, and calm decision-making.
Private Cycling Adventure
A custom cycling experience built around iconic routes, big climbs, beautiful terrain, and expert support. This can be in Hawaii, Switzerland, Boulder, or wherever the goal makes sense.
Custom Endurance Experience
For athletes who want something specific: swimrun preparation, riding together at home, a private training weekend, a small-group adventure, or a one-off challenge built around your life.
Example: Boulder High-Altitude Climbing CampPrivate Kona Camp
A private four-day cycling block built for l’Étape du Tour preparation: long climbs, altitude exposure, race-specific pacing, fueling discipline, and every major detail handled.
The goal was not random volume. The goal was to prepare the athlete for the exact demands of the event: patience early, efficient climbing, smart fueling, and strength late.
Example focus:
4 guided ride days
Long sustained climbs
Altitude exposure
Race-specific fueling
Bike setup help
Hotel and logistics support
Daily adjustments based on weather, fatigue, and training response
How it works
1. Start with a real conversation
We talk through your goal, race calendar, current fitness, travel ideas, budget, and what would make the experience worth it for you.
2. Build the right experience
I design the camp around the right mix of training, coaching, route planning, testing, technique work, logistics, and recovery.
3. Execute together
We train in the real environment: on the road, in the water, on the course, in the hills, in the heat, or wherever your performance matters.
4. Leave with clarity
You leave with better execution, clearer limiters, sharper confidence, and a practical plan for what comes next.
Why this works better than a generic camp
Built around one athlete
No fixed group schedule. No random volume. No “this is what everyone is doing today.” The camp adapts to your goal, your body, your weather, your fatigue, and your opportunity.
Coaching happens in real time
We do not just talk about pacing, fueling, or technique. We practice it while it is happening — on climbs, in the water, during long sessions, and in the moments where athletes usually make mistakes.
Momentum after the trip
The camp does not end when the last session is done. You leave with takeaways, priorities, and a clearer direction for the next block of training.
The experience matters
A great camp should make you better, but it should also feel like something you would choose to do again. The route, the place, the conversation, the effort, and the memory all matter.
For athletes who want more than just coaching
Some Camps are about precision: testing, pacing, fueling, race execution.
Others are also about experience: big rides, meaningful training days, iconic routes, and the kind of shared effort that stays with you long after the weekend is over.
If that’s your style, we can build for that too.
“Had an unforgettable day up Mauna Kea with Florian. He gave me incredible support and made this day an outstanding memory.”

Feedback in the moment
Coaching while it is happening.
An online training file tells me part of the story. Training together lets us look at what is happening on the road, in the water or during a run, and practice useful adjustments.
We agree the focus before you arrive. Sessions can change with conditions and how you are responding. At the end, we review what you learned and what deserves attention next.
Example: Boulder high-altitude climbing camp.
A past custom four-day cycling block built around l’Étape du Tour preparation. Long sustained climbs, route planning, altitude exposure, race-specific pacing and fueling shaped the plan.
Past custom camp example—not an upcoming scheduled departure. It shows how a program can be tailored to an athlete and event; individual responses to altitude and training vary.
