Leisure meets Performance Triathlon Camp
Two camps in one: Performance or Leisure. Train with Steffi, Melanie and Gerry at Lake Fuschl and enjoy a week of sport, community and nature.
From 24 to 30 May 2027, Steffi, Melanie and Gerry welcome you to the Leisure meets Performance Triathlon Camp at Hotel Jakob in Fuschl am See. For a whole week you train where sport and holiday belong together: right on the shore of Lake Fuschl, in the heart of the Salzkammergut.
What makes this camp special are two camps in one. You decide whether you focus on Performance or on Leisure, and you can switch between the groups whenever you like. That way you find your own balance between performance and enjoyment.
In the Performance Camp (Steffi and Melanie), the focus is on triathlon specific training, technique, transition work and brick sessions. Add to that bike sessions built around strength endurance and speed, swim training including open water, bike fitting and a first look into performance diagnostics.
In the Leisure Alpine Camp (Gerry), you ride relaxed loops with a coffee stop, work on your form with running drills, join social runs and swim with a technique focus. Here, fun and group dynamics come first.
Both groups swim together, meet for mobility and recovery, and come together for expert talks, Q&A sessions and relaxed dinners.
Your coaches:
Steffi Steinberg is an Ultraman World Champion, a multiple Ironman Hawaii finisher and an experienced triathlon coach specialising in performance diagnostics and nutrition.
Melanie Baumann is a former professional triathlete, mental coach (MSc.) and Trisutto coach with additional qualifications in sports massage and bike fitting.
Gerry Steinberg is an Ironman University Coach, an experienced long distance athlete and a specialist in training that combines enjoyment with a real group experience.
When you are not training, the Salzkammergut offers rolling hills, countless lakes, culture and shopping, for example in Salzburg. Extra nights before and after the camp are available on request.

This is what your week looks like
Every day has its own rhythm of training, rest and shared time, without ever feeling like a rigid training plan. After breakfast you head out with your group, there is time for a coffee stop along the way, and back at the hotel Lake Fuschl, the beach and a good dose of recovery are waiting for you. In the evening we sit down together for dinner and look back on the day.
Whether you go for Performance or Leisure is entirely up to you and can change from day to day. The overview below gives you orientation, stays flexible and is adapted on site to weather, group and daily form.
