Training and fitness isn’t just for gym bros – getting familiar with the Uprising fitness area is one of the best ways to efficiently build strength, prevent injury, and become a more confident climber. Guided by Lee, an experienced strength & conditioning coach and owner of ATP Coaching & Performance, these weekly workshops will help you to train smarter (not just harder!), move better on the wall, and keep your body happy.
Starting from Wednesday 22nd July at 6:00pm, workshops will alternate between a general Intro to Fitness & Training, and a series of specialised topics covering a range of training areas. Check out the Training & Fitness class timetable here to see what’s coming up next!
As with all of our regular classes, these training workshops are all FREE with Uprising membership (total steal, considering Lee’s experience) and have limited availability, so get in quick. If you are not a Uprising member, each class is $24 inclusive of gym entry.
Intro to Fitness & Training – Wednesdays Fortnightly | 6:00pm – 7:00pm
These Intro to Fitness & Training workshops are for anyone who is seeking guidance in the fitness gym – whether you’ve never set foot in there before, or simply aren’t sure where to start. Lee will begin with the basics, starting off with equipment use, gym etiquette and safety. As you become more familiar with the fitness gym, Lee will build on these foundations, showing you how to use the equipment effectively for everything from warming up properly to developing good training technique.
If you want to understand all things gym related, this is for you!
