30 minute club is returning!!

We’ve been ‘Umming And Ahhing’ about bringing back the live exercise sessions we called The 30-min club as we had nowhere really to film them since Average Joe’s robbed us of out studio space and filled it with soft play 🙂

Now though we have decided that they will be returning – this time we are going to film them live on the main track and make it a class that members at NPC can join in with – we figured seeing other people going through what someone else is doing back in their homes would hopefully aid motivation.

What is it?

The idea behind it was to help get people moving that could not get to out main class sessions – in our minds we thought if we did the session with the people at home it would be more fun – also as it was live each week it would bring a bit of accountability – something that people often say is missing when they are left to their own devices 🙂 The class lasts around 30 mins (as the name may have hinted to you) and it is designed so that a person can do it in a very small area of space in their home / outside etc – no equipment is needed so there are no excuses 🙂 🙂

When will it be?

It is pencilled in to be launching on Thursday evenings at 20:00 (BST) – obviously this is the live time but the video will be watchable later so a person can catch up with it if they miss it.  We will be updating the details as we have them confirmed but want it to coincide with International Burpee Month which starts in August 🙂

Is there a cost?

No – it is going to be going out live on Facebook so there is no cost

Is it only for fit people?

Nope – not at all – we hope we get a good mix of members and trainers to be doing this with us at NPC – we have all levels training here and we want to encourage that at home as well – you can start wherever you feel you can – there will be beginner through to advanced options available.

To find out more drop us a line using the contact form below – we think this will be a great way to get more people involved in exercise and look forward to helping get people started 🙂

Exercise demo – NO kit home / outdoor workout ideas

After last weeks video Q+A on exercise sessions with limited kit and training in places where it’s often very crowded (click here for that) I got a question about having no access to either equipment or facilities – can plans be put together that work in those circumstances?

Yes!! Definitely yes. For those of you that don’t know my background (you are clearly not the stalkers i thought you were!) i started out as a personal trainer moving on to running residential weight loss / fitness holidays in the Scottish Highlands.  As i was a freelance PT working at peoples houses / parks etc i had to develop sessions where there was very often little in the way of equipment – even more so on a 60,000 acre remote estate 🙂 On those holiday’s we would do exactly this type of session everywhere from the banks of pristine lochs to the tops of Munro’s – very challenging up there i can tell you 🙂
