All systems are go at WLTSC

The club, based at Newbridge, is in lockdown, but is continuing to offer both ‘physical and emotional’ support to members and visitors by encouraging people to take part in home-based exercise.

The four ‘System Energize’ personal trainers at the club are going to be leading the regular workouts, with head of fitness Paul Fothergill kicking things off on Monday with an AMRAP (as many reps as possible) based workout, and Brendon Turner leading a circuits-based workout on Tuesday.

Billy Hughes, along with his dad and WLTSC sports manager Marc, are on screen for a weights-based workout on Wednesday and on Friday, from 9.30am-10am, Adam Guest will lead an abs-based session.

Hundreds of people have been viewing the online workouts, which are streamed live on the club’s Facebook group and then, where possible, added to the You Tube channel afterwards.

One of the club’s tennis coaches Clayton Edge has also posted a fun garden-based game which all the family can take part in.

“As the club’s Welfare Officer, I am very conscious that this period of self-isolation might be a challenge for some who are used to a set routine,” said Marc.

“For many, the club is a place of immense support both physical and mental in addition to the friendships we all rely on for support through good times and bad.

“Hopefully, streaming these exercise classes will help people stay engaged and healthy while are doors are closed.”
