Top Ten Reasons to Join


Welcome to FMCT and thanks for your interest in our group!   There are many benefits to group training and you will be sure to experience them this year.    Group training allows sharing of information, experience and motivation, while at the same time being able to train at your own pace.

One of the things that FMCT prides itself on is the friendliness of the group.

  • You will have fun! The best part, for most of our members, about joining our club is that we have fun doing all sorts of cool things.
  • Registration to OAT, the Ontario Association of Triathletes (a $50  value) covering you through the Club’s insurance and reducing your entry fee into triathlons in Ontario.
  • Weekly group training opportunities. These are fun (see item 1 above). Each week, something is going on. Whether it be the saturday long run (in winter) or one of the group rides (in summer), there is always an opportunity to train with other triathletes.
  • Seasonal group excursions. In 2007, members were offered the opportunity for a training weekend in Muskoka. Again, in the early fall, another weekend in Muskoka. Add to this that certain races tend to become club excursion (e.g. Muskoka, Peterborough) and these again are lots of opportunities to have have fun (see item 1 above). Already, 2008 promises to be an event filled year, with over 30 of our members signed up to do the Muskoka 70.3 race, among other things.
  • Summer Time Trials. Throughout the spring and summer, on selected monday evenings, we run a 12 km time trial. It's a great way to work on your top end bike power as well as a lot of fun (see item 1 above).
  • Open water swim. Throughout the summer, on thursday evenings beginning early June, we run an 1 1/2 hour open water swim session in Professor's Lake. As a club member, you have an opportunity to sign up for this.
  • Coached spin class. Throughout the winter, on Saturday mornings beginning November, we run a 2 hour sping class with club coach Rob McCue. As a club member, you have an opportunity to sign up for this.
  • Coached swim class. Throughout the winter, we run a coached swim with Brampton hall of famer Hans Portens. As a club member, you have an opportunity to sign up for this.
  • Custom team Falcons appararel at a subsidized price.
  • Club Social events. You and your family can attend annual club social events such as the   summer pool party, picnic and barbeque, End of Season Awards Banquet and Christmas Party (see item 1 above).
  • Team discounts, including:
    • Endless Endurance - 25% discount
    • Swim & Sports - 10% - 25% discount
    • Feet in Motion - 14% discount
    • Cyclepath Brampton - 10% discount
