So lets get the ball rolling ;D ;D ;D
Paddle fit will be a simple circuit gym for everyone and anyone to attend. It will build on general fitness and strength but I've aimed it more towards canoeing related movements. The exercises also include some shoulder prehab :)
We will have it on the Friday, as 1 - the team gym is pretty quiet and 2 - if you come to the session than you've no excuse not to come to the river trip the next day :P. The minimum we can have for the circuit to work is 5 and the maximum we can have is really 15.
You'll need your general working out gear. This would also include a shoddy (or not so shoddy) towel that you can sweat on 😜. And water water water 😊. Going into the gym then you should have: gym towel, gym gear including runners, water and your student card. In your bag: phone (don't need it in the gym :P), shower gear (if you plan on showering there) and like piece of fruit or something small (especially if you have no plan to get something substantial in you within the next half hour)
Ideally you should be eating something relatively soon after the session. This is for your body's recovery :) Not having anything after the gym could mean you wasted the session. Generally something with protein for muscle reparation and carbs for energy replacement.
Anyway put your name down for interest and tell me which times for future Fridays would suit you best. This Friday the
11th we will have our fourth session at
7:30pm. Make sure to be there
on time. We will start without you :P. Meet at the squash courts at 7:15 and we'll head in at 20 past seven. If it's your first time make sure to be there on time. People heading in at 20 past should do their own warm up to be ready for the gym by half past. New people will be shown through the exercises during this time.
We now have a collaborative playlist to drown out each other's groaning :P Get some of your favourite upbeat high tempo tunes up there https://open.spotify.com/user/1199348869/playlist/3jrnqdgl83DUbBriUltzEt
We will use this thread to post updates etc. and sign up lists.

You should be allowed in since you're year of grace .. did you activate your membership online again? I'd imagine you'd be able too!
We were promised 6 months for every year we were in college when it was put to a referendum to fund the damn thing!
Would love to dig that up I have gym membership for at least 4 years then
or get someones card thats not going??
im not allowed in anyway.
i think i tried while in year of grace (and failed)
just either get someelse card,
or x and y walk in,
x walks out carrying x and y card,
give y to naddy, x and naddy walk in
What's the plan for this? Meeting were and when? [emoji4]
Get your name down for this Friday 😊 times changed so read above
In again for this Friday :D
Can't make it this week as I'm going to be gone home to vote, so ye won't be hearing my whining anyway!
I dooooubt it as I have work from 19:00 and it's vaguely indefinite :-\. But can I be a maybe?
I'm in!
Won't be able this week, heading home this weekend [emoji16]
I'd be up for this Friday.

More so to accommodate people who have labs that finish at 6, time to have dinner digest and come in for gym. We could have a speaker blasting out the commentary?

You only need a student card to get into the team gym itself, even the dressing rooms are non-swipe. So all you have to do is go in with someone else. If you're ever stopped, explain to the staff member that you're there for a team session, and that you're on a year of grace. They'll either understand and let you through, or be too intimidated by the big words to challenge you.
