Fitness Training

The Year 9 Fitness Training classes have completed a number of challenging sessions this semester including a group-fitness class at Aquamoves, a 7km run around The Flats, the Beep Test (just for fun) and, in the second week of Term 4, a training session at Murf’s Boxing Gym.

Dale Murphy and Lou Pridmore took each class through a punishing circuit that started with skipping and pushups, and included a lot of bag-work, some combinations and calisthenics in the ring (more pushups, sit ups, star jumps and burpees) and ended with a 3 minute wall-sit. Our students were brimming with pride at the end, and the Dale’s feedback recognised the enthusiasm and effort they put in. 

Murf’s Boxing Gym is located at the Welsford Street end of Tirana Walk and is open each afternoon after school. If you chose Fitness Training as a Year 9 elective but can’t wait another year to try it out, get yourself down there and give it a go!
