Hugh - Feedback on New Classes
Heya Guys, had a chat to some of the trainers...nothing personal. Feedback for the new classes, way too many Burpees and Squat jumps, most Professional areas, like Defence and Police got rid of them because of the damage they cause participants under fatigue or stress. Good once in a while, but to base a class around them is too much. Alright for some, but you might need to look around at the walking wounded, most people are just turning up to try and get through another session, because they think their injuries will go away. Also, push-ups should only be held in the 'rest position', either with arms locked-extended or completely bent (just off the ground), anywhere in between, held for too long causes issues with your back, especially if your not fit, fatigued or carrying a bit of extra weight. Trainers need the flexibility to 'read' their class, if they can see the participants falling apart, or poor form (in exercise) they should be able to adapt the routine to suit. Sorry, not a fan of SweatBox and Knockout. Make the classes harder, no issues there, make them more intense, just loose the Burpees and the squat jumps...Many thanks though to the trainers who give us 100%, Hats off to Jake, Danny, Tim, Nick and Sam, Don't loose heart over my comments, NOT DIRECTED at you, purely directed at the classes...cheers, Hugh
