Get faster, with group training built around you.
A year of group coaching for the athlete who needs more than an app can give, without going one to one. Six athletes, one coach, and a plan built around your body, your numbers, and your goal.
Two seats left. Save yours for $99 today.
A year of real coaching, in a group small enough that Chris knows your name, your numbers, and your goal.
Not a plan you download and decode alone. Not a private coach dedicated to you alone either. This is the coaching in between, taught live every week, with five other athletes on their own plans, but in the same room with you.
weekly
plan
You show up more when you are not training alone.
Train by yourself and the skipped weeks start to add up. With five other athletes training beside you, you have people who notice when you go quiet, push you through the hard sessions, and know what your goal means to you. That accountability is what turns a strong month into a strong year.
"It feels more like a family than a training event."
Faster. And a lot happier.
Athletes join to get faster. Most are surprised by how much they enjoy the year it takes to get there.
It feels more like a family than a training event. I am stronger, more confident, more motivated, and faster and healthier because of it.
Educational, supportive, and never once judgmental. As a beginner I learned so much, and I never felt ashamed of my ability.
Finally having the real data was a relief, and Chris reads it in a way that actually fits my goals. I recommend it without hesitation.
You've outgrown DIY, but private coaching is more than you need right now.
Most athletes get stuck in that gap and end up training alone. This program sits in the middle, with a real coach and a group beside you.
The plan never explains itself
A PDF or an app hands you a workout. It never tells you why the easy day matters, or what to do when work blows up your week.
One-to-one is a big leap
Private coaching is the deepest work we do, one athlete and one coach, all season. Group coaching gives you that same thinking, plus a team training beside you.
Training alone gets old
You want to understand what you are doing, with people who get it. Nobody here cares where you are starting from.
Everything you get with Campfire Group Training
Here is exactly what you get when you join.
A live class every week
Every Monday at 5:00pm Pacific, taught live and recorded. The week's lesson first, then your questions answered on the spot.
Office hours, twice a week
Two one-hour windows every Tuesday. Bring whatever came up in your training and work through it with Chris.
A training plan that is yours
Built for you in TrainingPeaks and adjusted as you progress. Not a static download, and not an app guessing at your life.
A private group community
A gated space with your five teammates and the coaches. Share the wins, ask the questions, and post the bad days too.
The Campfire handout library
Every principle on one page, from the effort scale to your own personal zone card. Yours to keep and reference all year.
Coached by Chris Bagg himself
A pro triathlete with an 8:35 Ironman and twenty years of coaching. He reads your numbers with his own eyes, not a dashboard.
We coach the whole athlete, not just the engine.
Fitness is only part of it. The athletes who break through also train the mental and emotional side, and that is what makes the gains stick.
The engine
Energy systems, skills, and the body that carries them.
The fuel
Learning to use what you feel to drive the performance.
The thinking
Self-talk, focus, planning, logistics, and fueling.
The why
Being part of something larger than one result on one day.
Mastery is where all three overlap, and consistency is what holds it there.
Here is how that looks across your year.
Foundation
Train by feel, live a real recovery week, test, and learn to read your own zones.
Depth
Own your zones, add intensity cleanly, and build a vocabulary for what you feel.
Integration
Race-specific work, self-worth under pressure, and a group that starts coaching each other.
Race and Reset
Peak, race, recover, and draw the roadmap for the year that follows.
Ready to train to your fullest potential?
The year opens with a foundation quarter. A month training by feel, a recovery week you actually live, a testing week that becomes the hinge, then six weeks with real numbers in hand.
Learn to train
Set your goals, learn the effort scale, build a repeatable week around your real life, and hold a true Zone 2.
The pivot
A recovery week you fully live, the complete test battery, then translating those results into personal zones.
Train with your numbers
Fuel simply, learn the balance of intensities, start strength, and take command of your own week.
- ✓ Train by feel first, with power, pace, and heart rate as context
- ✓ Hold a true Zone 2, and know why easy is the point
- ✓ Execute a workout correctly, because overcooking it is a miss too
- ✓ Understand what a test actually tells you
- ✓ Read all of your zones across power, pace, and heart rate
- ✓ Fuel simply with fluid, salt, and carbohydrate
- ✓ Spot when you need recovery, and hold a recovery block
- ✓ Use TrainingPeaks with confidence
- ✓ Know why a mix of intensities beats all easy or all hard
- ✓ Start strength safely, and begin putting your emotions to work
Built for a certain kind of athlete.
Six seats means we are honest about the fit. Here is who thrives in this, and who is better served elsewhere.
- ✓ You have a season or two of consistent training behind you
- ✓ You have a real goal for next year and a race in mind
- ✓ You are tired of guessing and want to understand the work
- ✓ You want people beside you, not another app to open alone
- ✓ You can show up for a class most weeks, or catch the recording
- × You want a coach dedicated to you and only you, which is our private coaching
- × You want a cheap plan to download and nothing more
- × You are looking for a shortcut rather than a year of work
- × You would rather train alone and keep your head down
More than a DIY plan.
Lighter than a private coach.
You already know the two ends of the spectrum.
This lives in the middle, on purpose.
| A download plan | Group coaching | Private one to one | |
|---|---|---|---|
| A plan built around your life | Generic | Yes | Yes |
| Changes when your body or schedule does | No | Yes | Yes |
| A coach you can ask questions every week | No | Yes | Yes |
| Someone who notices when you go quiet | No | Yes | Yes |
| Athletes training beside you | No | Yes | No |
| You learn from six seasons, not just your own | No | Yes | No |
| Daily private access to your coach | No | No | Yes |
By the end of the year, you show up on race day fitter, sharper, and ready to make the right call at the right moment, because every week of training was built around you.
Most plans only build your fitness. We coach the mental and emotional side too, because once your body is ready, that is what decides the race. It is how our athletes hit times they did not think were possible.
Everything you get in the year

- ✓ A structured training plan in TrainingPeaks, all year
- ✓ The complete Campfire handout library
- ✓ A private group community
- ✓ Testing guidance and a race plan you build yourself

Common questions.
Is this one to one coaching? +
No, and that is the point. This is a small group. You get Chris live every week, office hours twice a week, and a plan built for you, with a team of five beside you the whole year. What it does not include is daily private messaging, which is the one thing one to one adds on top.
What does it cost to join? +
It is $99 today to hold your seat. You will see the full payment options at checkout, including paying in full. Your founding terms are locked for as long as you keep training with us, so what you start on is what you keep.
What if I miss a week? +
You pick the structure back up. Work trips, colds, and life happen to everyone in the group. We coach for the full year and for long term progress, not for a string of perfect weeks, and Chris helps you adjust when things get in the way.
Do I need to be fast or experienced? +
You need a base of consistent training and a real goal, not a certain finish time. Athletes join at very different levels, and nobody here cares where you are starting from. The work meets you where you are.
What if I cannot make the Monday class live? +
Every class is recorded and posted the same day, so you never miss the lesson. You also have two office hours windows on Tuesday and the group community all week to ask anything that came up.
How long is the commitment? +
The program runs a full year, billed quarterly. Your founding terms are locked for as long as you keep training with us, so what you start on is what you keep.
Spots are limited, and they fill fast.
If you are done piecing it together on your own, this is the place for you.
