Why do Strength and Conditioning?

Having being involved with a lot of different sports as long as I can remember, I would like to think I have learnt a few things along the way. Also having had several injuries myself whilst playing sport competitively over many years, I have realised the importance of preparing your body as much as possible for the demand of the sport you are going to push it through. Let's face it, if you are a runner - you want to run, if you are a cyclist - you want to ride your bike!The whole purpose of doing Strength and Conditioning is to prepare your body and make it more robust to reduce the chances of getting injured. It might even be that you are recovering from an injury and desperately want to get back to do what you love!

 

I also know that if you are used to being part of a team in whatever sport that might be, you like to train with other people. This is one of the many reasons why I decided to start Strength and Conditioning group sessions for anyone wanting to improve the following qualities:

 

  1. Strength 

  2. Balance

  3. Coordination

  4. Endurance

  5. Core Strength

I keep the group numbers small in order for me to be able to focus on everyone's technique and give individual feedback. Sessions take place at Heavy Metal Gym in Ilkley on:

 

Monday evenings at 7.30pm

 

Thursday evenings at 7.15pm

 

Sessions are on a first come, first served basis - please message me in advance to book your space - 07942461440. Sessions cost £8 per session.

 

All levels and abilities are welcome!
