Hey, I’m Tammy (aka Tammy Lee), an endurance coach, educator, and mountain biker who believes fitness should strengthen your adventures, not complicate them.
I’ve been coaching for over 25 years, starting in gyms and group fitness before diving deep into endurance sports in 2009. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of athletes, from complete beginners to ultra-distance racers, build strength, endurance, and confidence that lasts beyond finish lines.
I’ve raced everything from sprint triathlons to Ironman, marathon runs to multi-day MTB stage races. Along the way, I learned what it really takes to train hard, stay consistent, and still have a life outside the sport. My own journey wasn’t smooth. I was a single mom juggling university, work, and training. It taught me how to coach real people through real life.
Today, I combine all that experience in my coaching brand, GO FIT LIFE, where I help athletes train smarter with purpose, balance, and a dose of grit. My approach blends endurance, strength, and wellness because performance doesn’t come from just one thing. It’s the whole picture: mind, body, and lifestyle.
When I’m not coaching or training, you’ll probably find me on my mountain bike somewhere in Alberta or snowboarding when the snow hits. I live full-time in an RV with my partner, chasing trails, fresh air, and freedom. That’s the same kind of freedom I want every athlete I coach to feel.

Where Else to Find Me Online?
I do not have social media as I’m a digital minimalist, in that sense. I prefer to create resources and provide them online for people to use. Therefore, you can find me in these spaces:
Coaching blogs for endurance athletes
YouTube channel for strength workouts
TrainingPeaks plans for self-coached endurance athletes
I also wrote and published a book about my life with Misophonia, a sound sensitivity disorder. You can find that HERE.
If you made it this far, thanks for taking the time to learn about me. If you have any questions or comments, please send me a message.
Have a wonderful day,
Tammy Lee ✌️
