WHAT IS AN INDUCTION AND WHAT IS INVOLVED?
An induction involves an advisor showing and demonstrating which equipment to use, why we use it and how to use it safely and effectively (our advisors are qualified to deal with any medical problems the junior may have).
Our aim is for T8 members to gain knowledge and education on correct exercise techniques, posture and routines suitable for their age group. Generally, our members will realise and understand the benefits of exercise and how important it is in everyday life.
*If you have any special needs or requirements please inform an advisor prior to your induction.
DO I NEED TO BE FIT TO ATTEND?
No as it is our aim to make you fitter and our activities are suitable for all abilities.
