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.
I have over 25 years in the fitness industry - 23 of those with GSC! I'm a qualified instructor in Exercise to Music, Spinning, Body Pump, Metafit, Boxercise, Level 1 Trampolining, Ball/Core and Insanity. I'm also a Level 2 qualified gym instructor and Level 3 qualified in Exercise Referral. For me, the best part about GSC is that every day is different. You never know who is going to come in looking for your help in achieving their goals. We provide a safe and inclusive environment, no matter the disability or condition, there's something here for everyone.
Christopher McPherson
Personal Trainer
I have been in the fitness industry for over 12 years and in this time I have gained an extensive amount of experience and knowledge. I am a qualified Level 3 Personal Trainer, Level 2 qualified Precision Nutritionist, and qualified in Level 1 Strength & Conditioning. These have greatly benefited towards helping my clients achieve their chosen goals successfully. I believe that the most important part of training is creating an environment where you can implement a healthier lifestyle change whilst having fun at the same time! I also believe that both being and feeling strong plays a key role in making you feel more confident. I love seeing the positive progressions my clients make in their training and lifestyle, and this is definitely the part I find most rewarding. When working with me you will learn how to lift weights efficiently and effectively, including Olympic lifts, whilst also providing help with making smart choices towards your diet. As well as being in the gym, I also love being active outdoors. Whether this be a walk, a hike, or even managing to get out and snowboard in the winter months.
