But why?

We love that our members turn up week after week, pushing themselves as hard as they can in our 40RTY Boot camp sessions and really do feel proud of what levels of fitness some of them are achieving. However, sometimes we do ponder what is it all for?

Obviously that is a very open ended question but aside from the more normal responses such as weight loss / toning up etc what else do people do ‘exercise’ for? We refer to it as ‘training’ all the time – “are you training tonight?” / “what training are we doing today?” etc etc but what exactly are most of us training for? What are we doing with this new found health and fitness?

You need a challenge!

We thought it might be fun to get a few mini challenges sorted for this coming year – nothing set in stone but we have 4 weekend type adventures for your perusal 🙂

  1. Highland Challenge – this will be something like a mountain walk, off road cycle, run and row – we’ve been to the estate a number of times and can honestly say its amazing – the challenge will be great and be in the form of a treasure hunt 🙂
  2. The 3 peaks national – this is the classic 24 hour challenge that sees you climb 3 of the UK’s highest peaks in one full day!
  3. Kite-surfing – a 2 day day weekend course – just because we’ve always fancied it and you need to be fit to get the most out of it!
  4. Rat Race coast to coast – this is the biggest one – check out the link for more: Rat race

The idea of the challenges is to make you realise what being all round fit can hep you do – they are all doable for most people – we don’t want superstar stuff – just things that cam help a person stay focused and give them another reason to make the sessions and give 100%

Let us know if you’d be interested – all will be over the next 12 months so no rush – however – we’d start training now!!
