Next week begins our two weeks of fitness testing, known as ‘The Check-In‘. We will aim to do this twice a year, you can read all the details right here.
Key Details
Dates: This will run from Monday 1st June to Saturday 13th June
The two main benefits for you are:
(1) This is a chance to nail down some benchmarks that assess your present level of fitness and allows you to re-assess these benchmarks later on in the year, are you making the progress you want?!
(2) You can see where you areas of strength and weakness lie, and make any adjustments to your training as needed. How many of you are actually making effective use of the open gym?!
