PCYC Huon Valley and RMC Join Forces

PCYC and RMC are joining forces together with support of the Alcohol and Drug Foundation to provide youth, between 14-20 years of age, a free 20 week all-access membership. This is a fantastic opportunity for youth that are finishing winter sport and looking for an activity to participate in through the summer period, an inactive adolescent who is wanting to engage within their community in a healthy and positive manner or simply a teenager who wants to exercise along side their parent or friend.

Please reach out to Bianca Jackman at Huon Valley PCYC via email - bianca.jackman@hvpcyc.org.au or drop in to the centre through the week

We are very excited to announce that Hannah Squires (Exercise Physiologist) and Annie Cordwell (Personal Trainer) will be taking on individual sessions in September.

STRENGTH SESSIONS

NEW FOCUS THIS WEEK IS STRENGTH

• Heavy load with very basic movement patterns

• If your technique is good and you feel comfortable then challenge how heavy the weight is.

• This is a fantastic way to set a bench mark- Hannah, Annie and Jas will write down your results on the board and record them. This is only if you would like them to.

• If you are unsure of how heavy to lift then please reach out to your instructor. They are there to support you and guide you.

GENERAL CLASS REMINDERS

• Please take SWEAT TOWELS and drink bottles with you throughout the session.

• Please advise the instructor if you have any new or old injuries that they should be aware of or will impact your training. We will support you with your exercise and provide alternative exercises.

• Please be prompt to classes as we aim to start demonstration on time.
