Weight Gain
July 2008
In the past Martin has found it hard to increase his body weight. Although he leads an active lifestyle, regularly playing football and attending circuit classes he felt he needed some extra guidance to assist him with his resistant training if he was going to gain some body weight and add new muscle mass.
Since starting with fitness beyond Martin has been working on his nutrition and strength training. In only 6 weeks he has increased his body weight by 11 lbs, added just under 2 inches to his chest and nearly an inch to each arm!
Martin’s strength and form has increased ten-fold and he will continue to work hard with fitness beyond to achieve his future goals!
Alex is selected for Scottish and British Youth teams
| June 2008 With a tough ski season ahead 14 year old Alex is back training with fitness beyond. After winning the slalom at the Welsh, English and Scottish Championships earlier this year Alex’s goal was to collect the gold in the slalom at the British Championships. After lying third in the first run, things didn’t seem to go to plan when she crashed out three gates from the end of the second run. Although she came away without the British title, Alex had done enough to get selected for the Scottish Team and the British Youth Team. As Alex steps up to the next level, she is back training with Scott and will be working even harder on her fitness for the up and coming season. |

Next season Alex will be training in France, Switzerland, Austria and America for several weeks at a time, as it is important for her to fit in lots of races. In November Alex also has the opportunity to attend trials in Switzerland for the Youth Olympic Games in 2009/2010. Alex is always looking for support so if you are interested in sponsoring an up and coming athlete, please contact Alex on 013398 82953. |
