Spinning Update !! 8/11/11




Folks

Thank you for expressing an interest in taking part in the spinning programme. I have had a tremendous response with over 20 respondents.

You may already have heard the news this week that Energie Gym, the venue for our current programme of circuit classes and proposed spin classes, is to re-locate to new all premises in Springtown. To allow the changeover, Energie will close at the close of normal business on Fri 11th November. They are allowing 4 weeks outage but are optimistic of having some parts of the new gym up and going in less time. There is a new spinning suite at the new premises and management have indicated that they will honour our FCC spin programme. – its simply a question of timing. As soon as I know more, I will communicate the start date, and all other details. Fingers crossed, it should not be delayed too long.

Best Regards

Allan Mallett

Spin session sign up


Fellow Club members,

Over the past few years, FCC has been actively promoting Autumn /Winter indoor
training initiatives. At present, a very successful programme of ‘Circuit
Training’ geared specifically towards the cyclist is well underway at Energie Gym in the
very capable hands of Sammy McFadden. This current programme is due to complete
on Thurs 24th November (8th & final week). On its completion, we have further
negotiated with Energie an excellent deal using their dedicated spinning room
specifically for FCC members.  A further 8 week programme of cycling specific
training will be offered using their spinning suite. We have engaged the
services of one of Derry’s leading personal fitness instructors for this who has
put together a great programme of cycling specific classes (Endurance training,
interval training, hillclimbs etc. using heart rate monitors if you have one!)
all delivered in his own very unique way.

The 1st session will be held on Thurs 1st Dec 8-9pm
lasting 8 weeks and is open to all FCC members. The total cost of the programme is £25
(paid in advance) for the 8 weeks – (this equates to approx. £3/session) – very reasonable.�
Bikes are limited – so we will take the first 23 names who wish to participate.
Word was spread on last weekend’s well attended Saturday’s club run and already
interest is high so please don’t delay in getting your name in for this. Its
ideal training for all levels of fitness – from those looking to consolidate
their summer fitness to new/returning FCC club members or simply to those who
want to shed a few pounds in the lead up to and after the festive season. No better way
to do it than group exercise amongst fellow FCC members.

As usual, the gym provide full use of their changing facilities, showers, sauna
& steam room afterwards.

Winter training


Winter training has started in earnest at FCC. Club runs which leave the Sports Complex, Buncrana Road at the usual 0900 hours on Saturday and Sunday will hopefully be run at a lower pace than at the height of the season.

Mountain bike sessions are also being held on Wednesday, primarily. There are two sessions. One leaves Gleneagles at 600p.m. or Sainsburys at 610p.m.  A later session leaves Sainsburys at 630 p.m.  Equip your mtb with good lights and dress warmly/brightly.

The club also runs a circuit class on Thursdays at 8oo p.m. at Energie Gym, Strand Road. This excellent core strength work out is being lead by Sammy Mc.

Also due soon is the club agm so watch out for the date of our annual review.
