Testimonial: An unforgettable week at the triathlon training camp with Les Bornées

There are trip reviews that you read with a smile, and others that remind you exactly why we do this job. Terry's, a participant in our 2025 triathlon & yoga camp, belongs to the second category. A few lines, a communicative energy, and the entire spirit of Les Bornées summarized better than we could do ourselves.

"Great! Nothing to complain about, a week of pure madness! Laughter, sports, sharing, a wonderful place, great staff, and so on. A true cocktail of good things!"

A true cocktail of good things: we couldn't have said it better. So, rather than giving you a brochure, we wanted to break down this testimonial, ingredient by ingredient, to tell you what truly lies behind a week of camp with us.

"Sports": a week that really makes you progress

A triathlon camp is first and foremost about sports, of course. Swimming, cycling, running: the days are rhythmic, dense, designed to help you reach a new level. But at Les Bornées, intensity never rhymes with pressure.

The secret lies in the level groups and supervision provided by qualified, experienced, and attentive coaches, such as Thibaut Ledanois and Felix Chavot, who adapt their support to each profile. Whether you're preparing for your first event or aiming for a new record, you work at your own pace, with personalized advice that you'll take with you to all your future sessions. And yoga, integrated into the program, balances everything out: your legs recover, your mind breathes.

"A wonderful place": the setting is part of the training

Terry talks about a wonderful place, and that's no coincidence. We select inspiring and comfortable locations so that every participant can fully enjoy their sporting experience. High-end is at the heart of our requirements: as soon as you walk through the door, you enter a bubble.

Our camps are all-inclusive, and that changes everything. No logistics to manage, no errands to run between sessions: meals are prepared by chefs, designed to support the effort, and the entire organization is set up so that your only job is to swim, cycle, run, and savor. This is what we call a real break.

"Laughter, sharing": the magic of the collective

Reread Terry's testimony: laughter comes before sports. This is not insignificant. The warm and inclusive atmosphere of the club allows everyone to feel welcome and motivated, regardless of their level. Our community is proudly diverse, and this variety of profiles enriches every meal, every warm-up, every debrief.

A week-long camp is a sum of shared moments: encouragement at the end of a swim, relays on the bike, evening discussions rehashing the morning session. Many participants arrive alone and leave with training buddies for the season. Moreover, between two trips, our free app Smatchy allows you to extend the adventure with outings near you.

"Great staff": humans first and foremost

Behind every successful camp, there is a fully committed team: coaches who know your name from day one, an organization that anticipates your needs before you express them, constant attention to detail. It is this human dimension that transforms a training program into a week of pure madness, to use Terry's words.

Our belief is simple: we progress better when we feel good. So the staff ensures both the quality of the sessions and the general atmosphere, from waking up to going to bed. If you have practical questions before you start, our FAQ answers them in detail.
