Small Group Training Open Day

The team practices shoulder stands and various pull-up / one arm chin-up progressions, in what was a predominately a bent-arm strength Small Group training class. Small group training allows us to explore in more detail movement complexity and individualised programming that is not possible in the Large Group classes. So it usually coincides that gymnastic strength, for example, is used more frequently (I don't have that many sets if rings!). It's the best of both worlds - private training with....well, a small group (duh)!

 I will be holding an open day and exhibition class for those that are interested to experience what exactly goes on in Small Group training. It will be a half day consisting of a few mini and themed taster classes covering the main elements of my approach, with have plenty of time to have your questions answered. At the very least it is free movement and coaching and you'll have a jolly good time (there will be no hard selling)! Stay tuned for more information. Until then you can find out more about small group training here: benmedder.com/classes (Scroll down past Large Groups.)

Here's Benjamin low walking, whilst balancing at height at one of the group classes. For some - balancing on a narrow surface above head height may seem out of reach... but you would be surprised what you are capable of (speaking from experience, the fear can be conquered for example). Proper progressions are needed of course and certainly a few questions need to be answered... How is you squat? Do you have the required mobility and stability? Can you low / duck walk efficiently at ground level? Can you hold the static low positions required? Do you have the right mindset? Do you want to be able to do it? The questions go on... Hopefully we'll see you soon to explore some answers.
