Tri-Hards Exmouth

Tri-Hards are a Cycling UK affiliated group. 

We have lots of qualified cycling leaders which means we are in a great position to offer cycling courses, social rides and road rides for more experienced riders. The community is self-run, with dozens of events happening each week at various times. Also, the activities have grown to include swimming lessons, experience days, active weekends away, walks with dogs and prams, coffee mornings and events outside Devon.

Feel free to visit our website for more information on all of the other activities we put on in the local community of Exmouth, too: https://tri-hards.co.uk  

Finally, here is a testimonial from just one of our members on what being a part of tri-hards has meant to them: 

" I joined Tri-Hards in August 2018 and was immediately struck by what a fantastic network of support it provides. On many occasions I have exercised when normally I wouldn't, out of a sense of accountability to other members. It has led me to making new friendships and to keep going with exercise when it would be all too easy to stay indoors when it gets cold and dark over winter. For me, Tri-Hards encourages me to be the best I can, competing against myself, striving for improvement and improving my health.

In September 2017 I weighed 120kg, a BMI of almost 38 which is technically morbidly obese. I took a 52” jacket and 44” waist trousers; I was heading for an early grave. Whilst I had lost a lot of weight by the time I joined Tri-Hards, the group has given me the impetus and support to continue with a healthy lifestyle.

Today, I weigh a shade over 13 stone, I have a 32” waist, more lean muscle mass than I have ever had, and my body fat has been as low as 14% - well within the healthy range for my age. My resting pule rate is under 50 and my blood pressure was 110/64mmHg when last measured, both of which are exceptional.

In summary, I’m in very good shape for someone who “celebrates” their 50th birthday this year, due in no small part to the support this group has given me, as it does for so many.

The Tri-Hards group is also about exposing their members to new experiences. In the coming months, I have gig-rowing, running, cycling, HIIT, boxing, resistance work, pilates, walking, touch rugby, dragon boat racing, a triathlon and nutritional advice to look forward to – and that’s all before the Summer.

The Tri-Hards are providing an environment with opportunities for people to exercise, improving their physical and mental health regardless of background, current levels of fitness, ability or potential.

I’m so proud to be a part of this organisation. Neal and Shelly Stammers deserve to be knighted for what they are doing for this town."
