Track Day and Scottish Power lifting event

On Saturday the gym will be closed all day due to Scottish Powerlifting hosting an event in the facility.

The gym will operate as normal on Friday and Sunday.

Coach Fee McTaggart will be running the session. She has a wealth of experience in sprinting and athletics making her the perfect woman for the job. If you have never done one of our track days then this is something not to be missed. We will cater for all levels and have a few options workout wise on the day so please do try and make it along.

Bookings will be made as normal on goteamup. We hope to see as many of you there as possible. The session will go ahead regardless of the weather so dress appropriately. After the warm up though you will be more than ready to run!
