Purplepatch Fitness

Tower 26 is almost ‘second home’ for many of the purplepatch coached clients.  Many have either visited Gerry and his swimming program in Santa Monica, or being on one of the camps and clinics that have been jointly run by purplepatch and Tower 26.  Regarded as a leading technician and strategist of the sport, many of the purplepatch professional athletes have included Gerry’s instruction as a component of their training and race preparation.  In the Los Angeles area, Gerry leads the leading triathlon and open water swimming coaching program in the United States, with multiple training and skills sessions each week, as well as the iconic ‘Wednesday Open Water’ swims, which attract up to 200 athletes each week.

The basis of the partnership between purplepatch and Tower 26 is a shared vision on how coaching should be done between the founders, Matt Dixon and Gerry Rodrigues.  This mutual respect and collaboration results in a uniquely powerful advantage for their clients.
