Blackpool FC Community Trust column: A programme of classes to boost your health and fitness
Did you know you can take part in a range of activities at Blackpool FC and in the community to keep you fit?
As part of our Get Fit Keep Fit programme, supported by Sport England, we currently hold sessions in a number of fields.
Box Fit gives participants the skills to fight themselves fit as classes incorporate a high-intensity workout with correct technique in a fun environment, using pad work, combinations and bodyweight exercises.
Boxercise is a high-energy, non-contact fitness class that combines boxing and cardio with circuit training, using a variety of exercises like shadow boxing, skipping and bodyweight exercises.
It is designed to be a fun, challenging and safe workout for all fitness levels.
Sessions are high intensity for improving cardiovascular fitness, increasing muscle definition and burning calories.
Circuits are a fun and fast-paced fitness class that combine resistance training with high-intensity cardio which will be suitable for people of all abilities.
Club Fit is a high energy class which makes participants sweat, smile and shine.
Set in a fun, neon-lit environment, this workout combines cardio, strength and dance routines to upbeat music.
Core classes help to improve people’s posture, balance and movement, which can help with pain management and injury prevention.
Fit Pilates assists with the improvement of core strength, flexibility and posture.
It is a low-impact class with a combination of traditional Pilates and modern fitness techniques.
Strength and Stretch sees those taking part build muscle, increase strength and improve joint function.
Stretching increases the range of motion, promotes good posture and helps in reducing stiffness and soreness.
Trigger Point Pilates is a specialised restorative class that blends traditional Pilates core strengthening with myofascial release techniques to alleviate chronic pain, improve mobility and release muscular tension.
Using foam rollers and massage balls, it mimics hands-on therapy to target trigger points and hydrate connective tissue, enhancing daily function for all fitness levels.
Finally, the 90-day Challenge encourages people to commit to a plan while receiving motivation from coaches as well as a supportive online and face-to-face community.
They can access weekly fitness classes, personalised calorie plans, health education sessions and milestone check-ins to track progress.
Classes start at just £3 or memberships are £20 per month.
