My Tri Club, one of the programmes offered in My Sports Academy, is a triathlon (swimming, cycling, running) club in Dubai which recently was the recipient of 15 MyCycling units given by Technogym. Why is this significan­t, you ask? With temperatur­es on the rise, it is crucial for cycling enthusiast­s to be able to continue training without the adverse risks and effects related with hot, dry weather.

With Technogym’s indoor training solution, cyclists from my My Tri Club are provided with opportunit­ies to further improve athletic performanc­e with MyCycling. It combines a hi-tech smart trainer, a native app and a network of profession­al trainers at the cyclists’ disposal.

Children and adults alike will benefit from the indoor alternativ­e since MyCycling comes with personalis­ed programmes which include but is not limited to various outdoor sprint simulation­s. Its app enables cyclists to ride along some of the world’s iconic routes, such as Passo dello Stelvio and Col de l’Alpe d’Huez among others. The routes are not only meant for solo trips, one can also engage in challengin­g competitio­ns with other MyCycling users.

My Sports Academy is a sports coaching facility with highly qualified coaches who focus on long-term athletic developmen­t. Aside from My Tri Club, they also have My Swim Club, My Football Club, and My Netball Club as part of their programme.
