"Under the expert guidance of Coach Breno Melo, I started my first Ironman race and qualified for Ironman Kona. His training methods not only prepared me for a triathlon but also pushed me to qualify for the Boston Marathon with a time of 3:05. Breno's coaching was the cornerstone of my success, turning ambitious goals into winning realities!"
Heidi Wu
“After years of inconsistent results, Breno’s structured coaching transformed my performance. Within two years, I improved my half Ironman time by 26 minutes and completed a full Ironman in 11 hours—achievements I never thought possible. Breno’s genuine care and friendship have made him more than a coach; he’s someone deeply invested in my overall fitness, health, and happiness. I can’t imagine training with anyone else.”
Aadil Faruqui
“Working with Breno transformed my approach to training. Despite balancing a demanding career as a physician-scientist and raising three young children, I achieved personal bests in the 5K (16:57), half Ironman (4:30), and completed my first full Ironman in Arizona in 9:35. Breno’s personalized, flexible coaching kept me consistent and injury-free, making me the fittest I’ve ever been at 39.”

Let customers speak for us
Breno Melo is an excellent coach who takes time to truly understand his athlete's past experiences, current abilities, and future goals. He then methodically plans your training around those goals, maintaining your strengths but targeting your weaknesses to make you a better overall athlete. I see his coaching plans as having unrivaled value for the amount of time and effort I get from him
Training with Coach Breno Melo is truly inspiring! His expertise, dedication, and personalized approach to triathlon training make every session productive and motivating. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, Breno pushes you to reach your full potential while fostering a supportive and encouraging environment. A fantastic coach who brings out the best in his athletes!
The reason I hired a coach was to learn how to run faster. Bruno has opened up a different approach to running entirely. He has shown that slow and steady wins.. He varies the runs so it's differnt each week, and I have learned to run with guard rails, which is a nice way to run. Instead of going all out and then have no endurance. Now I'm running faster and further than I thought possible. Best investment in my self.. Thank you Bruno!!
Works great for me. I am a busy guy with 3 kids and a full time job so Breno’s amazing flexibility is greatly appreciated
Great coach. Curated training plan for busy individuals. Training plan is comprehensive and easy to follow.
Since I hired Breno as my coach, he figured out my issues quickly and built up foundation gradually. I signed up for D2R2 180 k to challenge myself for 2024 but I didn’t know if I could finish it. It was known for its hard climbs, 19 out of 20 total climbs are very steep, its long distance of 180 k, With the help from Breno, including his encouragement to me, I actually finished it much better than I expected.
His customized training for me apparently worked really well for me.
Breno, you are great!
Lucky to have found a very professional triathlon coach.
Breno is an outstanding coach. Yes he programs great workouts but he goes a step beyond that. He is easily accessible and very responsive, and also looks out for my long term mental and physical health. He is a not a quick results oriented coach but wants you to love the sport for a long time. If you want a coach that cares about your wellbeing and wants to nurture your passion rather than train you to the ground, Breno is your guy!
