What is Fitness Training to Improve your Health and Wellbeing?
We all know that being physically active is good for our health and wellbeing and for those who are interested in getting “fit”, whether that be to achieve a weight loss goal or to help reduce the stress of daily life, there are many options to choose from.
These can range from starting to run, to joining spin classes at the gym. Before choosing an option, it’s likely you will have tried to read about how to get fit and the best way to do so for you.
However, there is a lot of information available that it can be difficult for the consumer to know where to start and what to do. Not only that, but how do you know the information you are reading is correct and based on science?
To help you, the consumer, who is interested in getting “fit”, the Physical Performance team at GCP have utilised their academic scientific background and experience of working in elite sport to design a practical workshop.
How do we do it?
The “Fitness Training to Improve your Health and Wellbeing” workshop is aimed at those who are wanting to getting “fit”, regardless of their goal, but are currently inactive or have tried to start training but are unsure on what to do.
1-hour education and practical workshop
Educational presentation to give you the basic scientific understanding of fitness training
Q&A with the Physical Performance Coaches to discuss “myths” around fitness training
Practical example of an introductory running session
Practical example of a games based running session
Examples of take-away sessions using various equipment and modalities
At the end of the workshop, you will firstly have a basic understanding of the science underpinning fitness training and answers to any questions you may have about the “myths” of fitness training or any confounding information you’ve read.
Secondly, you will experience two example sessions delivered by a Physical Performance coach in the format of an endurance and games-based run. Finally, you will be provided with examples of take-away sessions that can be used with a variety of equipment.

Working with Alex and the team at GCP this pre-season put me in the best shape possible ahead of the new season. The programme that GCP delivered for me was exactly what I needed and I look forward to working with them again.
I attended the performance psychology section with 20 other business founders and found it very useful in understanding myself and what I can do to improve my personal performance within my team. I went further to invite the GCP team into conducting the same session with my staff. Overall I wanted my team to improve their individual and team performance by understanding each other’s mindset and gain an appreciation of each other’s approach. This was well-received by all staff beyond what I or my management team could achieve. Getting an external organisation truly added value as the session was not treated as a company requirement but a more personal approach to development. I strongly recommend any business that wants to develop a high-performance team to attend this course. The preparation, delivery and execution is great.
