Zenith Fitness Twickenham

A few photos from the CREW who ran the 10k this weekend.

Each event/ run/ comp that you guys take part in and complete is a win for us also. It’s not easy… it’s not convenient… it takes dedication and discipline. ✅✅✅

It’s easy to train people who want to push themselves. Shout out to you all who come in several times a week and take the CHOICE to do so.

You guys inspire us you really do.

It’s becoming a bit of a thing 😌

This mornings Z-Crew going for coffee and breakfast after their class this morning. Someone remarked how they all looked too good to just have trained… 👀

They all met here, at Zenith. We are a gym, a social club, a community.

Thanks to for the talk on Saturday about the important of strength training as we age. The talk was centred about women but some lessons can be learned from us all

1. We HAVE to do load bearing exercise. This means movements where are feet are pushing through the floor. Strong bones are far easier to develop now, than in later life where other obstacles may be in your way.

2. Everyone should be doing plyometric exercises - this could be something simple as stepping of a block with a controlled landing - and can be as challenging as you can handle. Building a tolerance for both pelvic floor stress from impact, and learning to jump and land leads to a far lower chance of knee/ankle/back injury if you ever have to to jump/land/move with force.

3. We should resistance train at least 2 times per week. No Pilates is often not enough, reformer can offer some resistance but besides some core strength we need more load to be strong. Challenging sets in the 3-5 rep range are the best way of building strength. Lifts some weights ! But start slow and work on form first 👍

4. We need to perform some sort of aerobic work 3-4 times per week. This could be a brisk walk, this could be some time spent on a bike, a steady run? This doesn’t have to be intense. Intense cardio can be very tiring and can lead to you being overworked, going again before you are fully recovered can compound the fatigue.

5. Listen to your body ☺️ - if you are recovering and not feeling sore then you can add more training. If your body feels tired after you add more sessions / heavier weights the do the same thing the next week and make sure we first recover well BEFORE we add more volume / intensity !

Take care all, keep training.

A HUGE shoutout to one of our own, who just completed the London Marathon. And vows to do it again next year 📣

Despite a series of frustrating injuries and setbacks over the past 6 months - she refused to give up. Katie adjusted her approach, focused on recovery and listened to her body. The discipline you showed to not overdo it is what got you here today 🏃🤩

Proud of you bud 😌

A huge thanks for those of you who went to support her, you know who you are ❤️

Good afternoon all!

Exciting news of a new free offer for our members. We are going to start hosting ‘Saturday morning sit downs’ every few weeks.

These will feature experts in their fields talking on subjects of relevance to you guys. And the best part - they are FREE to all members.

Our first talk will be lead by Tracey Matthews, an expert in pelvic floor health and training around menopause. All from the perspective of a legitimate athlete. She’s won two commonwealth medals and really champions the idea of strength training as a key component of ageing.

This talk is definitely more directed towards women, but it’s never a bad thing to understand more about the other s*x … right gents ?

It will be approx 1hr. Come along for education, good company and good coffee. There will be the opportunity to ask questions at the end.
