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.

Training With Joel

Personal Training at Legacy.

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.

01

A conversation and an assessment

Your coach learns your goals, history, schedule and limitations, and screens how you move before writing anything down.

02

A program that belongs to you

Exercises, loads and session structure are chosen for your body and goal, and they change as you improve.

03

Coaching in the room

Your coach teaches technique, adjusts loads in real time and keeps sessions productive, which is the part an app or a video cannot do.

04

Measured progress

Strength, measurements, consistency and how you feel are tracked so you can see the direction, not just guess at it.

Who personal training coaching suits
  • People starting or restarting exercise who want guidance
  • Anyone who wants accountability and a plan they do not have to build
  • Those with a specific goal and a deadline
  • Experienced trainees who want expert feedback
A typical first month

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.

01

Week 1: Assess and plan

Goals, history and a movement screen produce your starting program.

02

Week 2: Learn the program

Exercises are taught, loads are set and you learn how a session flows.

03

Week 3: Progress

Weights and difficulty rise as you get comfortable, and your coach refines technique.

04

Week 4: Review and adjust

Results are compared with your starting numbers, and the next block is built from what worked.

Common mistakes this coaching fixes
  • Following random workouts with no progression
  • Training hard without recovering
  • Waiting until motivated rather than building a schedule
