At long last . . . .

 

TO THE MAX - TRIATHLON/ENDURANCE SPORTS SPECIFIC FITNESS CLASS

 

Day and Time: Thursday’s 7pm for 1 hour

Location: Wey Valley School, Dorchester Rd, Weymouth

Start date: THURSDAY 8TH OCTOBER 09

Price: £30 for full 6 week block

 

This class is set to be the first of its kind in Dorset, and is open to all ability levels from novice through to professional athletes. Triathlon is one of the UK’s fastest growing sports, with more people taking it up each year in order to test their endurance to the maximum. With normal distances ranging from Super Sprint to Ironman, the sport is extremely physically and mentally demanding, with athletes generally swimming, cycling and running for anything from 5 to 40 hours per week in training depending on their level and the distance they are training for.

 

However, what many triathletes and endurance athletes frequently neglect is their strength and stability training. Appropriate strength and conditioning for the endurance athlete is essential for optimising performance, but very few have ever explored past the realms of traditional bodybuilding type training, which is largely ineffective for the endurance athlete. It’s for this reason that Procision Fitness has set up ‘To The Max’, a triathlon and endurance sports specific group fitness class, designed entirely to improve swim, bike and run performance through a program of highly specific and functional training.

 

Within the sessions we will be utilising bodyweight, resistance bands, medicine balls and various other bits of equipment in order to perform the most comprehensive range of triathlon specific exercises around, to improve function and subsequent performance. The whole year of training has been devised around the triathlon season, and I’ll be taking the participants through every phase of training, from stability, right through to power endurance and beyond.

 

Due to the nature of triathlon, these sessions will also be of great use to swimmers, cyclists and runners looking to gain an extra edge in their performance. So, if you are a triathlete, endurance athlete, swimmer, cyclist or runner, this session really is a must if you want to not only boost performance, but also learn how to effectively improve your strength and conditioning, all within a fun filled environment!

 

There is also a prize up for grabs, 3 FREE PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS for the first person to complete the Procision FItness ‘TO THE MAX’ Leg Slam Challenge!

 

Due to the specific nature of the sessions, numbers are limited to just 16, so be sure to book in quickly to secure your place. For bookings or more details, contact me via andy@procisionfitness.com, or call 07843438173.

 

All bookings must be made by Tuesday 6th October please ;-)
