BTC training sessions and how to book them.

First of all you need to be a BTC member to book a session and you can join via this link bookitzone . For bookitzone you need to create an account/register but this takes 2 minutes

If you are interested in joining but want to try a session first please contact chairman@boltontri.com or a committee member and we will book you in for an introductory session. After that you will need to join to attend further sessions

We now use a system called ClubSpark for session booking. This requires payment on booking. The link is below. Please save it to your favourites.  Each session comes up for booking 7 days in advance.


How to register
The first time you use it you will need to register via the red register button at top right corner of page. If you are not a tri club member but you just want to book sessions for your child who is a member then register in your name and use your dob. Once you have registered, created a password and are signed in click on the training tab on the top menu. Go to the session you want to book. It will ask if you want to book yourself in or there is an option to 'add athlete' . If you are booking your child then use the add athlete option. You will have to enter their dob and other details but you won't have to do this every time. Please enter an e-mail address for the booking confirmation and an emergency contact number for them. After first booking it will keep their details

Please note that bookitzone and ClubSpark are separate systems so you will need to register on both. 

If you are or have been a British Triathlon member ClubSpark may recognize your e-mail and ask you to register/sign in using your British Triathlon account. Please note being a Bolton Tri Club member is not the same as being a British Triathlon member.  Let us know if you have problems and we might be able to help you. You can also contact membership@britishtriathlon.org who are usually very helpful. There is a forgotten password option on the ClubSpark log in page
