Group Training for Sports Performance

Why suffer alone when you can suffer together?

These sessions are ideal for groups of individuals working to a similar goal.

Exercises are selected to enhance performance so if you have a club or group working toward an event, or a match or who just enjoy training together, The Lair can provide this setting or Linda can come to you at your venue and train your group on home turf.

Sessions are always progressive – designed to improve form, strength and flexibility and while everyone works at their own level, there is always a degree of competition to see who is the strongest and able to last the longest.

So it begins…….

GROUP TRAINING IN THE LAIR IS QUITE DIFFERENT TO ANY YOU MAY HAVE TRIED

THERE IS NO CHANCE OF BEING INVISIBLE OR DISAPPEARING INTO THE MASSES.

The maximum number in any group session is 4 – 5. This means there is maximum visibility and plenty of attention to detail to your technique.
No two people are the same – many people have posture issues, restrictions from past injuries, and everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses through different movements. As numbers are kept small, it means Linda can pay particular interest to each individual’s needs during the session.

Do you have a special sporting event to get fit for? or just want to take your fitness to a whole new level? then this is the best way to go.

She takes great care to group similar abilities (and personalities) together for the best mix of people for an enjoyable session and best results. It also means that you are always training with the same group, motivating each other, and there is reassurance in that there are no unknown quantities strolling through your class randomly from week to week.

The group move forward together. If your needs differ as time goes on, Linda will recommend solutions that will optimise your training time.

If you have a group of friends or a team with a similar goal, it is possible to set up YOUR OWN regular private group session.

SAFETY PROCEDURES DURING COVID

All Safety Procedures are available to view on site by members.
By signing up for sessions each member is agreeing to abide by these.

As with before the pandemic and in the interest of health and safety – all sessions are booked by appointment only – there are no walk-ins permitted.
Group classes are booked and paid for a block of 5-6weeks in advance (depending on the calendar). The booking is for a specific time slot(s) each week. All levels and types are on the calendar.
The studio operates Monday – Friday.
Please contact Linda at 087 2213295 or [email protected] to discuss your options and for available places.

EQUIPMENT

Linda has a wide variety of equipment to suit all needs for group strength sessions, Olympic weights, benches, dumbbells’ of all sizes, TRX straps, slam balls, stability balls, and much much more.
All equipment is kept separate in-session and carefully sanitized between uses. All clients are encouraged to maintain good cough and sneeze hygiene.

PILATES GROUP SESSIONS

All members are required to bring their own mat and towel to pilates sessions, and to wear socks in all sessions. Personal mats are placed on top of layers of studio mats during on site sessions so you have your own mat up against you. The mats underneath are sprayed between sessions.
During Covid-19, Pilates group sessions have been taken online, while individual sessions may take place at the Lair. It is a requirement to take sessions in person at the Lair prior to signing up for any online sessions for accurate assessment.

SOCIAL DISTANCING AND SPACING OF TRAINING AREAS IS TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY.

Outdoor training in the fresh air is the preferred option as it is better for body and mind, and it has the added bonus that it removes the dangers that come with training indoors in a confined space.

Any change in class structure forced by bad weather or pandemic will be notified to all members (ie from in-person to online)
