Future Flyers (Session 1)

Six of our future flyers attended their first G&T session and fed back their thoughts.

On Thursday 25th January, we sent our four sports leaders - along with two other talented sports stars - to the Westgate Leisure Centre for the first of their 4 "Future Flyer" sessions. Upon their return, we asked them to let us know what they thought.

Adam: At Future Flyers we did a triathlon. I most enjoyed the spinning and running. After we did the triathlon, we did lots of fitness drills like speed bounce and long jump. I really enjoyed it!

Grace: At Future Flyers we did lots of fun sports. One of them was indoor cycling, another one was running techniques and the last one was "dri-swimming" (which was a bit like conditioning and swimming skills). My favourite sport that we did was the cycling because I've never done indoor cycling in a gym before (on the static bikes from the centre's spin class). We also did tests like reaction tests, a sit-up test, long jump and lots more. Future Flyers was really fun and exciting.

Eli: At Future Flyers we did a triathlon. I most enjoyed the spinning because the person who was running it made it very fun. After the triathlon, we did a number of different tests to see how fit we were. Out of the tests, I most enjoyed how far we could throw 1 or 2 kg balls! Overall, it was a VERY fun experience.

Ben: At Future Flyers, we did land swimming and went on the exercise bikes for 10 minutes. then we did some running. My favourite part was the exercise bikes because eventually they got tough.  At the end of the session, we did reaction tests, 2 kg ball throwing test, flexibility tests, speed jump tests and finally running long jump tests - so that in the next session we will see the improvement between sessions. I found it fun.
