PaddleStrong Fit Testing – Respond by Dec 30th

As PaddleStrong moves toward the 2015 season, the energy is high for making this upcoming season the best ever! With the commitment we have had towards pool paddling and the sport specific workout after, this winter has seen everyone really committing to preparing for a spring of preparation and improvement.

With everyone belonging to different gyms, studios etc and everyone has their own program that they follow, we thought that as a team moving forward it would be a great idea to have a “bench mark” fitness test to help everyone see where they are now and then repeat the test at the start of the season.

A baseline testing date has been set for Tuesday January 13, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at Alexacise Studio located at 361 King Street, Unit 5 (upstairs) in Barrie’s south end.

Fit Testing is strongly recommended for all PaddleStrong members, as well as all those interested in joining PaddleStrong in 2015.
