Torsten Abel is best known for his long career as a Professional Triathlete.  He was born and raised in Germany, a country that has produced some of the world best in triathlon and other endurance sports. He started his early career training with the German National Triathlon Team under Steffen Grosse and Dr. Thomas Gleissner. He was also chosen as a training assistant to the Hong Kong National Triathlon Team. Torsten then established his name on the world circuit competing internationally in ITU World Cup, European Cup, 70.3 and Ironman events.  He is a 2 time Hawaii Ironman Pro Qualifier.

As a student of Sports Science at Cardiff University in Wales, UK, he developed his skills and knowledge in the areas of coaching and sports development.  Torsten then took his education and experience to San Francisco and joined a leading coaching company.  There he began a career as a personal coach while he remained training and competing as professional triathlete.  He was responsible for developing training programs for new clients and preparing them for competition in triathlon and other endurance events.  Torsten then joined a co-worker and they both began a similar coaching service which proved highly successful.  The time came when Torsten then felt he had the knowledge and skills to begin his own coaching service, and this is where Triumph Multisport all started.  His programs have proved very popular and effective on a local and global scale, especially in the business world as he caters programs around travel, meetings and office hours.  Torsten knows he can really make a positive difference in people's sporting endeavors and lives.

Torsten admits that his clients are ultimately responsible for achieving the results......... they are the ones who have to do the training that is in the programs he provides.  It takes an enormous amount of discipline and determination to reach the top of the mountain and TRIUMPH!  But  the tools and techniques Torsten provides make workouts fun, interesting, challenging, successful and a bit different each time.
