22 week Turbo Class programme – Open To All
Stafford RC has 6 places available in its winter training programme that starts this coming Thursday (20 Oct) and ideal for any cyclist/triathlete living in or close to Stafford. Cost is a one off payment of £30/person (this is to cover the cost of hiring the room) for the full 22 week structured training programme.
The classes are ideal for helping you develop your fitness, strength and stamina and ensure that when you’re out on your usual weekend rides you have not lost the fitness you gained the week before. Remember fitness gains only last up to 4 days so it is essential that you train once or twice mid-week if you want to be able to improve. The classes are suitable for all abilities and I can help tailor each weeks work outs to your own specific requirements. Over the last 5 years we have attracted a wide range of members (both male and female) who have used the classes to simply improve their fitness, develop their speed or for some, just enjoy the social side of getting together once a week with club mates for a short work out which is usual followed by a drink at the bar.
Please contact me via ascoaching@outlook.com to book your place or call 07914 756 796 if you would like any more info
