Why choose us?
BECAUSE WE DELIVER MEASURABLE, PREDICTABLE RESULTS!
What truly sets 3S apart is a foundation built on decades of focused research, deep scientific expertise, and a sophisticated model of human adaptation under specific training strategies. This is not guesswork, not trends, and not recycled workouts. It is a complete, modern training system grounded in real sports science.
3S GEN2 represents a new generation of training design — a fully integrated, truly scientific methodology based on training optimization principles and powered by the unifying Ergometric Training Concept.
Unlike conventional “workout generators” that log sessions or recycle generic plans, 3S builds a personalized performance model for every athlete. It calculates your training loads, progression trajectory, and target intensities, adapting them day by day to guide you toward peak form exactly when you need it.
This unique combination gives coaches and athletes the ability to achieve their goals consistently and predictably. Every day, 3S delivers data-driven training recommendations that drive meaningful improvement and translate into superior performance in competition.
Smarter Training, Faster Adaptation, Predictable Gains.
With 3S, progress is not a hope — it is an outcome.
SYSTEMIC
3s is based on more than three decades of specialized research in peak performance training methods.
SMART
We apply special algorithms which connect your training (by distance and intensity) with target physiological mechanisms.
SPECIFIC
No cookie-cutter workouts or plans are included. Every exercise in our system is calculated to lead you to optimum progression and planned results!
PROVEN
Our methods have been proven by generations of athletes, from beginners to Olympic Champions.

WHAT experts and users SAY ABOUT US
3S works! Jason (Osborn) won two national (Germany) titles at the weekend. Gold in Lightweight Single U17 and Gold in Lightweight Double Four U17. This is his first year at U17 (he is only 15). Thank you, your program is simple, effective and gets results.
I wish I had 3S tools when I coached collegiate teams. They help coaches understand the training process and manage athletes at every level.
3S is simply amazing. I wish I had known about this program 20 years ago.
USRowing Coaching Education values the 3S contribution. We accept 3S experience as continuing education credit for Levels I–III.
Simple, practical… excellent concept! Good explanation of training zones. Excellent use of power output or speed as the key determinant of training intensity.
Thanks again for your help in 2008, my 3rd year with 3S. The race season wrapped up with a 2nd at the Head of the Charles, and a 1st place age-group finish at the 11K Silverskiff Regatta (27th overall out of 471 entrants).
FYI, there were two big sculling events in Europe in October/November: the Armada Cup (9km) in Switzerland and the Silverskiff (11km) in Turin, Italy. I won the masters D at the Armada cup and finished 3rd in masters D in Torino…
At the NRW State Championships Long Distance Test (over 6km) Jason started as a lightweight and he was the younger year of the two years Junior B. He beat all the lightweights and all of the heavyweights. Beat the best heavyweight by one second but is still a win. Jason is now in the state cadre and is aiming to race in the single and double four in the junior German championships end of June.
It is all down to 3S. Well done.
I was quite pleased with my last race at the Head of the Charles two weekends ago. I was about 11% behind the winner versus 14% two years ago (my goals are VERY modest). More importantly, I felt consistently effective during this race; as well as a race several weeks prior. This is quite a change for me in the single as previously some part of me (often lower arms) would fail prematurely.
I just wanted to win, and you helped me do it
Many thanks for your reply and, as always, for your thoughtfulness and expertise. I’m very grateful for your guidance and realize I’m still learning to train intelligently rather than always relying on adding volume to improve. I will stop the extra Cat IB right away…
Thank you for all your support. It’s rare to find someone so generous with their time and advice.
Comparing my results at the Silverskiff in 2008 versus 2007, my speed in terms of meters/second improved 2% – which was great. One other thing you might be interested in, re: the effectiveness of the 3S program. Based on laboratory physiological tests done in April, and then again in November, my anaerobic threshold on the erg increased from 80% to 90% of observed HRmax. The comment from the lab was “keep doing whatever you’re doing, because its clearly working…
It is amazing how much difference in performance I was able to achieve with 3S program this year.
I took a 100% green team to the national level in just one season using 3S. I wish every coach used this program.
