Garioch Sports Centre (GSC) have extended and developed their existing community gym provision. GSC have added a new dynamic community space to its facility that will link directly to performance athlete development and sports club development both mainstream and parasport. Alongside this an improved service/facility for the public bringing improved knowledge, performance, and health benefits to all. The Garioch Sports Strength & Conditioning Space introduces a new purpose-built training space specifically design to be used in a multitude of ways. This spaces functionality includes use as a normal Gym area for day-to-day GSC members but primarily used in supporting athlete’s strength and conditioning training in addition to their sports specific training. The space is used as an educational facility for 1-2-1 or group training, it is a safe and flexible area currently housing the Aberdeenshire Athlete Development Programme (ADP) session.
The space is available for sports clubs to hire for strength and conditioning or training sessions, these sessions must be led by GSC qualified coaches or club qualified instructors with the required level of certification & insurances. Outside of these S&C functions the space is used as a studio for recovery sessions, club meetings, CPD sessions, coach development and GSC fitness classes. Over the first year of this new space we will work with IYSF to offer Garioch Sports Clubs subsidised use of the strength and conditioning space to allow them to develop the relationship with GSC and realise the benefits S&C can bring to their athletes in the hope they will continue to use this new space longer term.
