Tanya Deeks

Owner, Coach and Personal Trainer,
Alpha Beast


Helping people become their best is what Tanya loves.  After 16 years of competing in triathlons, mountain bike races and nordic ski races it was time to add another passion - the passion of teaching and coaching.  Tanya is  
Cornwall, Ontario's most experienced triathlete, nordic skier racer and female mountain biker. Over the years, Tanya has had opportunities to learn from top coaches and pros and train at some of the most prestigious locations in North America.  Training for and competing in 7 Iron distance races while working at a very demanding full time job taught Tanya the value of a strong coach - athlete relationship.  A relationship where the two work together as a team to achieve the athlete's goals.  Where the coach understands the importance of time management and how critical it is to get the most out of every workout; a workout that is designed specifically for each athlete based on his or her strengths, challenges and objectives.  This is what Tanya believes in.  This is how Tanya will work with you.
