After the great season we had last year, the coaching staff is already thinking about training and crew make-up for next season. We've got high hopes to improve on our performance from last year and I believe we have the right people to do it with. At the end of the day though, there's no better replacement than hard work. Well here's your opportunity to get back into shape (or get in better shape) with some dryland training before the start of the next season. I want to encourage as many of you to come out as possible as it is a great way for our team to stay connected in the off season and get some training in at the same time.
We have secured the same location as last year (Richmond World Health Club) to run the program and they will be held on Thursday nights at 7pm. We will have a personal trainer every session putting together training circuits and/or exercise programs and running the team through them. Once every month, we will hold an extra session for some benchmark testing. Benchmark testing will include things like pushups, pullups, cardio, etc. These extra sessions will likely be held on weekends to avoid the crowds at the gym. Benchmark tests will give you an idea of your own fitness progress and also give the coaching staff some data for boat selection next season. Even if you have your own training program, we would still like to see you at the benchmark test sessions.
