Businesses and residents across Manor Royal and the wider Crawley area are invited to discover more about their health, fitness and wellbeing at a special free Open Day at Body Health Gatwick on Saturday 26 September.
Based at Unit 6, Stanley Business Centre on Kelvin Way, Body Health Gatwick is opening its doors for an interactive day of demonstrations, practical sessions and the chance to meet the team and discover more about its range of specialist services.
The day is split into three sessions, giving visitors the opportunity to learn, participate and see some of the clinic’s technology in action.
Session 1 - Learn to Lift, 9.30am-11am
Coach Paul Walshe will be helping visitors debunk some common gym myths while learning how to safely use a barbell and other free weights. The practical session is suitable for all levels and is designed to give participants greater confidence when training. Suitable clothing is recommended.
This is followed by Olympic Lifting from 11.30am - 12.30pm, led by British Weightlifting Level 2 Coach Danielle. Participants can learn the fundamentals of lifting a barbell overhead, exploring the strength, power and technique behind Olympic lifting. Flat-soled gym shoes are recommended, although visitors can still take part without them.
Session 2 - Massage, Stretch Therapy & Injury Screening, 1pm - 2.30pm
Danielle and Josh will demonstrate how sports massage and stretch therapy can support performance and wellbeing. Visitors can also see how the team uses VALD Force Decks and Frames to screen for injuries. This session combines demonstrations with opportunities to get involved.
Session 3 - VO? Max Testing, 3pm - 4.30pm
The final session offers a live demonstration of a VO? max test on a treadmill. Visitors can see how the test measures oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide output during exercise and learn why VO? max is an important indicator of cardiovascular fitness and endurance.
There will also be two special guests on site throughout the day. BodyDEXA will be offering body composition and bone density scans, while Fitness Genes will be showcasing how genetic testing can provide insights into individual health and fitness.
The event is free, but places should be booked in advance via Eventbrite.
