Hi Everyone,
I’m going to be running a variety of training sessions 6 days a week again covering strength, fitness, leg speed, recovery and core work. Every session will be different in order to keep things fun and interesting and our bodies challenged.
The sessions are for everyone, no matter what age or fitness. Riders will have different levels to aim for depending on their ability.
Weekday sessions are 6.00-7.00pm. Saturday IS NOW 5.00-6.00PM.
Riders can choose individual sessions at £4 a day or go for the unlimited option which is as many sessions as you like for £20 a week.
Mondays (dumbbells/tins of beans required)
Strength and Fitness work 1. … We will perform various exercise covering all muscle groups, working on correct form. Younger riders can use either their body weight or tins of beans as light dumbells. Older riders can use dumbells, I recommend around 3kg for over 13s. Please contact me if you are in the gym regularly, so we can find a weight appropriate to your ability.
Tuesdays (No equipment required)
HIIT session 1… Today’s session will be fast and furious. We perform fast controlled exercises with minimum rest. Once thoroughly warmed up, these exercises will be explosive to really get those fast twitch muscles activated. This session also includes lots of core work which helps with stability on the bike.
Wednesday (Bike and rollers/turbo required)
Sprints … The main aim of this session is to work on leg speed. Producing a strong efficient cadence. Strength + Speed equals Power.
Thursday…(No equipment required)
HIIT session 2… Another High Intensity Interval session but this will be very different from Tuesday.
Friday…( Bike and rollers/turbo required)
Intervals…This session is all about recovery… Ever come out of the last turn and your legs feel blown? The session will help to deal with this as well as helping you get straight on the power coming out of a turn or after a jump. Also, the better your recovery ,the more chance you have of being just as fast in your final on a Sunday afternoon as you were in practice on Friday night!
Saturday... (dumbbells/tins of beans required)
Strength and Fitness work 2. … Different session from Monday with a variety of exercises. Older riders can use dumbells, I recommend around 3kg for over 13s. Please contact me if you are in the gym regularly, so we can find a weight appropriate to your ability.
To book, or for more information please send me an email.
Thanks,

New Rider Sessions
Due to the technical aspect of BMX racing, it is advised to attend a new rider session held by the club at 8.40am each Saturday. A Blackpool BMX coach will assess the ability of the rider, providing advice and encouragement. This is an ideal session for new riders who initially need more attention and focus from our coaches.
Weʼre raising £5,000 to Help Blackpool BMX Club a local club run by volunteers, which was broken into and £5000 of equipment stolen. This is to try and help replace it. Any donation big or small would be gratefully received on our Just Funding Page >
