Masters Class Launching! 🚀

We’re introducing a lower impact class, focusing on lifelong activity, movement and strength for those in later life.

This class will look to enhance and prolong quality of life and enable members to transfer over the strength and range of motion gained in the gym, to life at home.

If you’re new to training or know someone who would benefit from functional fitness at a lower intensity then follow the link below 👇🏼

Sessions will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9.30 for 45minutes upstairs at The Stronghold, use the code FREESTRONG to try your first class for free.

Time to see it transfer over to the barbell!

Just a friendly reminder...
🙋‍♂️
Especially important on Pancake Day!
🥞
You DO NOT have to burn off or earn any food that you have eaten or plan to eat.
❌
Yes, energy balance is important to health, but exercise and activity is for more than just to burn Kcal.
🔥
Treating food as Kcal that you need to 'burn off' rather than nutrients that are fueling your body can create a poor relationship with nutrition and exercise.
🤸‍♀️
So enjoy your food and exercise for health. Relish the process and the outcome will follow!

We know most of you are missing the barbell at the moment.
🏋‍♂️
But use this time wisely to build a strong base and strength in positions and watch it pay off when you get back on a bar again!

Dan getting a PB with a 20kg weighted pull up!
💪💪💪
A year ago he couldn't do a bodyweight pull up... not bad progress!

Hard work + consistency = progress
💪
1 year ago I could barely do a strict handstand push up.
🤸‍♂️
Those who train with me, know how much I sucked at these and how long I've been working to get better at these.
📆
It's taken a while, and most of the time, seemed like I wasn't making much progress, but trusting the process and keeping consistent has paid off!
📈
To all my fellow lanky limb friends, there is hope.
🤣
P.S thanks for putting up with my tantrums when I failed for the millionth time.

There is a big difference between being coached and being instructed.
👨‍🏫
Our classes are limited to 6 members during the week and 9 for bootcamps on the weekend.
🙌
This means each individual member gets quality time with our coaches during a class.
📈
For beginners this accelerates the learning process and, for the more experienced members, fine tunes their movements and skills.
🤓
Our team is dedicated to enhancing their education and skill set, giving you an ever-improving service.

After breaking it down, this is the first time we have done the movement as a whole and added a little weight.

A lot more work to do and a lot more in the tank!

Movement and strength training is important at any age.

Especially younger children as it develops movement patterns that will be used for the rest of their lives!

Want stronger lats and core?
💪
These 'ice cream makers' are a great alternative to pull ups and leg raises.
This is an advanced exercise so make sure you are able to do pull ups before trying!
