Bootcamp FAQ.

 

Q.  Why do you have to pay in advance?

A. This is to ensure that we are ready for each session, and that the bootcamps can progress progressively, making sure people aren’t getting left behind.  In the past we have found by doing it this way helps maintain good numbers and motivation amongst the group.

 

Q. I don’t want to start on my own, can I bring a friend?

A. Yes and no.  Although we don’t want to discourage anybody, if you wish to bring a friend they must pay for the course aswell.  Due to everybody booking in from the start you will be with the same people each session so will make friends very quickly and are all starting at a similar level.

 

Q.  I’ve never done anything like this before is it for me?

A.  The bootcamps are largely based around circuit training, which shows to develop strength, power, aerobic fitness and increase metabolism.  All the ingredients for a great training session.  If you prefer to sit on a bike or do bicep curls in the mirror this is definitely not for you, if you are interested in improving fitness, losing weight, trying something new and meeting some new friends then this is exactly right for you.

 

FSTA Conditioning BOOTCAMP

Fsta will be starting a bootcamp in the new year Jan 2012, so if you want to lose some christmas timber and avoid the overly busy gyms at that time of year, then get down to fstacademy in Ancoats.  There will be a limited number of places available so you’ll have to act quick if you don’t want to be left out.

 

For more information go to the BOOTCAMP category, email or call.

 

Gain strength and size

Normally as a performance center we normally stay away from training just for the mirror.  However, Bulking up and getting a bit stronger is something that FSTA gets asked abut all the time, and lets face it we all like to look good when on the beach.

 

So after a little bit of thinking I’ve put together something I feel that fits the bill.  You will be able to  fill out your t-shirt and be fairly strong aswell, if you do a proper strength phase at the end then you’ll look and be the part.

Sports Massage

have a look at this little Q&A on sports massage is it good or is it not?

With many things in the sporting world everybody seems to know best.  If you ask one athlete if massage works they may say yes another may say no and both will give great reasons for and against.  The reality is there is evidence that can back up both arguments however, as every case and every massage is different, depending on many factors such as when the massage is delivered, who delivers, speed and kind of massage, it’s very difficult to compare like for like, and there for very difficult to know how much massage exactly massage works.

There are many types of sports massage the trick is finding what is right for you, and to have confidence in your therapist.  It may not work for everyone or it might be a case of the technique is not right for you.  My personal preference is deep tissue and foam rolling since starting to use both i found my aches and pains went and could recover slightly quicker between training sessions.  This doesn’t mean it may work for you the best way is to try it and find out, this doesn’t mean a one off but give it a few sessions even a months then give an opinion.

Elite athletes like to use sports massage including Haile Gebrselassie, who has daily treatments – coming back. And they’re right there at someone else’s fingertips for you, too.
