Joel Maddock – Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist | Endurance Performance Coach at Legacy Del Mar
I’m Joel Maddock, a NSCA-certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and 6-time Ironman 70.3 competitor. Based at Legacy Performance Institute Del Mar, I specialize in high-performance coaching for endurance athletes, including triathlon training, marathon prep, and run-specific strength development.
With a strong focus on injury prevention, career longevity, and performance optimization, I work with athletes of all levels to help them train smarter, stay healthy, and hit new personal bests. Whether you’re preparing for your first endurance event or looking to shave minutes off your next race, I’ll design a science-backed training program that elevates your performance and keeps your body firing at full capacity.
As a TrainingPeaks-certified coach, I integrate strength training with periodized endurance programs that align with your racing goals. My holistic approach ensures that every session moves you closer to better mobility, greater muscular efficiency, and improved aerobic capacity—without compromising recovery or risking overtraining.
If you’re serious about leveling up your endurance game—whether in triathlon, long-distance running, or multi-sport competition—I’m here to help you train with purpose, precision, and proven results.
Joel's profile lists NSCA Certified, CPR Certified, and AED Certified.
Certifications show what a coach has been tested on. They do not replace a conversation, so use your free introduction to ask Joel how that training shapes the way they coach.
Every coach at Legacy works independently inside the facility, which means you choose the coach, and the coach builds the program. No membership is required to train with a coach. Coaching is booked directly with the coach you choose.
Joel's profile lists personal training as the main focus areas.
Skills and services the profile names: Athletic Performance, Balance Training, Cardio, Core Training, Functional Training, Group Fitness, HIIT, Injury Prevention, Online Training, Personal Training, and Speed & Agility.
On format, the profile mentions one-on-one private sessions, group training, and online coaching. Confirm what is available and how it is priced at your introduction.
Personal training is one coach, one plan, built around you. It combines assessment, programming, coaching in the room and accountability, so the time you invest goes toward your own goals rather than a generic routine.
Your coach learns your goals, history, schedule and limitations, and screens how you move before writing anything down.
Exercises, loads and session structure are chosen for your body and goal, and they change as you improve.
Your coach teaches technique, adjusts loads in real time and keeps sessions productive, which is the part an app or a video cannot do.
Strength, measurements, consistency and how you feel are tracked so you can see the direction, not just guess at it.
Every plan is built around the individual, so your coach will adjust this. As a general shape, the first four weeks of personal training coaching tend to run like this.
Goals, history and a movement screen produce your starting program.
Exercises are taught, loads are set and you learn how a session flows.
Weights and difficulty rise as you get comfortable, and your coach refines technique.
Results are compared with your starting numbers, and the next block is built from what worked.
