We are delighted to announce that we will be implementing Fitranx with Sphere this month.
This is a move that we know will help you immensely with your goals.
Like martial arts or dance gradings fitness now has its own and we are glad to be part of it.
So…what is it?
Fitranx is a grading system for fitness allowing you to see how you rank with other participants and also provide you with a great way of progressing your training. There are 8 levels with each building on the next. Each level has a strength element to it and also a conditioning side of it allowing you to be tested in all aspects of fitness. This is a great adjunct to your training.
There are three age groups (16-35, 36-55, 56 +) and tests specific for males and females. You start with white and shoot for the coveted Black Belt.
This will take a real achievement and rightly so. Like anything, mastery is worth the work. Upon completion of the grade you will receive your own paracord bracelet and certificate and recognition of your achievement.
Is it for Beginners?
Yes – of course. The best things would be to familiarise yourself with the test before hand. We will have copies of the program in the gym for you and you can ask any of the trainers which level would suit you. Everyone has to start with white though – just like in the martial arts system.
What about more advanced levels?
Absolutely. This is a progressive system and we are well versed in it as a team. We will be able to advise you on this. Everyone starts at white though.
How do we go about Grading?
Every month we will be allocating a time for this. In this time you will be invited personally and given a time to do your grading at. Then you will be tested. If you can’t make this time then we may be able to facilitate you at another time.
Does it cost anything?
No! This is free for members. We were really excited about this when we saw it and jumped at the opportunity to bring our facility on board.
