Hannes Bonami holds a Master's degree in Physical Education and further specialized as a Triathlon B Trainer, combining a strong scientific foundation with practical coaching knowledge. Beyond his academic background, he is also the owner of a thriving group practice where he and a team of nine coaches work with athletes daily. Through this work, he has built extensive experience in conducting and interpreting performance tests, including lactate tests, for both recreational and competitive athletes. As an experienced triathlete, he competed at the Ironman World Champion 2013ship in Hawaii in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022. The combination of scientific knowledge, practical experience, and elite sports insights makes him an instructor who effortlessly translates theory into the reality of coaching and testing.

In Level 2, we work with 5 groups of 2 people. In the morning, one person performs a lactate test on the other, and in the afternoon the roles are reversed. After each test round, we discuss the results together as a group, so everyone learns from each other's tests and questions. This gives you hands-on experience with both performing and undergoing a test, under the guidance of the instructor.

Yes, lunch is included in both levels. We accommodate dietary requirements, please indicate these during registration.

Cancellation is free up to 14 days before the start date. For cancellations within 14 days of the start, 50% of the registration fee will be charged. You can also transfer your registration to another session.
