SPORT
Swim, spin, run
with World Class Almaty!
In 2000, the triathlon was included in the program of the
Olympic Games, and today it is one of the most popular
sports for both men and women. It all began in the distant
70s in the United States in one of the clubs of enthusias-
tic athletes, when swimmers, runners and cyclists conducted
joint training, which over time transformed into official races.
For some, the triathlon is a trial of endurance that over-
comes them. A person challenges himself in order to test
his limits. And someone becomes obsessed with the desire
to stand out from the others. In any case, this kind of sport
needs tremendous willpower and self-discipline.
The modern triathlon is no longer exclusive to the extremely
professional. Rather, after their next race, athletes want
more and they find it in the triathlon.
In November 2015, the WCA fitness club was one of the
first to launch a triathlon section, which in less than two
years showed its high performance. This was confirmed
by individual results by students at various competitions

– novices, far from triathlon experts, became Ironmans
within only one to two years.
Also the fact that other city-wide fitness clubs followed the
World Class example demonstrates our high-performance
capabilities. And, the most obvious factor to include in this
success is the significant increase in the number of athletes
at the World Class Almaty Triathlon School.
In 2018, the club launched the restart of the first amateur
Triathlon School. The updated format offers a significantly
expanded range of services, designed for different levels
of athletic fitness as well as income. Also, flexible package
conditions were developed, including both practice and in-
dividual counseling. Trial-free training was a nice bonus for
every athlete.
