Brooke GilliesWe’re thrilled to welcome Brooke to the F4L Triathlon Coaching team—a passionate athlete, seasoned competitor, and inspiring guide whose journey through sport is nothing short of remarkable.

🏊‍♀️ From Setback to Super Series: Brooke’s Story

Sport has always been Brooke’s heartbeat. She grew up immersed in competitive swimming and football, thriving on challenge, camaraderie, and the joy of movement. But after multiple ankle surgeries, she faced a daunting reality: stepping away from the sports she loved and relearning how to walk comfortably.

That’s when triathlon entered her life—not as a performance goal, but as a lifeline. What began as rehabilitation quickly evolved into a deep passion, reshaping her identity as an athlete and igniting a new path forward.

Since then, Brooke has:

  • Earned a place on the World Class Programme in Loughborough
  • Guided at the Paralympic Games in Paris 2024
  • Raced in multiple championship events
  • Competed in the British Super Series and French Grand Prix
  • Stepped into the world of pro 70.3 racing

Her journey is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and the power of sport to rebuild not just bodies—but belief.

🤝 Why Brooke Chose F4L Triathlon Coaching.

Brooke knows first-hand how transformative sport can be—not just in performance, but in confidence, motivation, and self-worth. For her, coaching is a way to share that magic. Whether you’re just starting out, chasing a new PB, or dreaming of elite competition, Brooke brings a depth of experience and empathy that meets you where you are.

“F4L stands for everything I value in sport,” she says. “Inclusivity, encouragement, and the belief that fitness is for life. I’m excited to join a team that shares these values and to help athletes of all abilities find enjoyment and success in their own journeys.”

💪 What Brooke Brings to the Team

  • A unique perspective from grassroots recovery to world-stage competition
  • Deep empathy for athletes navigating setbacks or uncertainty
  • Elite-level knowledge from international racing and training environments

A Shared Journey: From Mallorca to Mentorship

Brooke first joined us at the F4L Mallorca Training Camp in 2025, bringing her energy, insight, and warmth to every session. It was clear from the start that she wasn’t just an exceptional athlete—she was a natural mentor. Under Paul’s guidance, Brooke flourished in her ability to support others, blending elite experience with empathy and encouragement. We’re delighted she’ll be returning to Mallorca in 2026, continuing to inspire athletes and deepen her coaching craft within the F4L community.
