AMOVATE GYM SESSIONS RE-STARTING

Feeling a bit sluggish? Got some weight to shed after the Christmas and New Year Celebrations?

Made a resolution to rediscover that sparkle, that zest, the get-up-and-go that you thought had got up and gone…..?

Well, there’s no longer any reason not to get fit and stay fit.

Bob Packham is re-starting the weekly gym sessions at the Amovate HQ from next Thursday, January 5th, between 5 and 6pm.

Bob already runs a thriving Keep Fit club at the Old Schoolhouse, which meets twice weekly for a 10-15 minute aerobic workout followed by circuit training in sessions lasting no more than a total of one hour.

Those classes will be re-starting on Wednesday after the winter break and there is room, incidentally, for more people who’d like to join in—the classes are held on Mondays at 11.30am—12.30pm and Wednesdays from 11am-12 noon and cost €2.50 per session.

Bob’s gym sessions will re-start on Thursday and differ from the Keep-Fit classes which are supervised for the full hour, Bob and Ian leading the class throughout.

But the gym sessions are there for people to simply use the wide range of equipment at their own pace, following their own programme although Bob will be there to keep an eye on things and assist or advise only when requested.

Following Amovate’s acquisition of a Portacabin which now provides storage for the tables and chairs normally kept inside the building there is much more space, allowing Bob to set up a much more amenable and convenient gym area.

He has been able to provide quality equipment via his Keep Fit classes, which includes a multi-gym, two excellent cross-training machines, two exercise bikes, tread machines, weights and weights bench, rowing machine, steps, etc; plenty to keep you going.

And as Bob ploughs all funds back into new equipment the quality of the apparatus will continue to get better and better.

So, why not come along and join in, beginning next Thursday at 5pm.

And if the numbers of people using the gym grows as high as those attending the Keep Fit classes then Bob will look at the prospects of expanding the gym sessions to another day, making them twice-weekly.

Just turn up in your work-out kit (sadly, we don’t yet stretch to changing facilities and showers), sign in, pay your €2.50, and use the equipment at your own pace, unless you want Bob to monitor your progress and give advice.

Beverages such as tea (bags), coffee (instant), water, beer, soft drinks etc will be available.

And even if you are not sure whether it’s for you or not, come along anyway, have a look and a chat over a drink and make up your own mind…

Incidentally, if anyone has any gym or exercise equipment of a decent quality that they no longer use, or which is lying forgotten at the back of your garage or garden shed, why not donate it to Amovate where it will find a good home and be put to good use.

Just give Bob a ring on 91 796 1555 and he’ll arrange to have it collected.
