Students from Tendring Technology College have visited Colchester Fitness Centre to take their first steps into the world of CrossFit.

The session, led by coaches Mark Maher and Sam Cowler, introduced students to the concept of CrossFit physical skills.

They include cardiovascular endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy—key components of what it means to “be fit”.

The visit provided a mix of theory and practical application.

After learning about the philosophy behind CrossFit, students were put through their paces with an energetic workout.

They got hands-on with barbell work, experienced the unique challenges of the Assault Runners, and tackled the famously gruelling burpees.

The visit marks another successful community initiative by the gym to promote health and fitness among youngsters.

Mark and Sam praised the students’ enthusiasm and determination throughout the session, calling them “superstars” for their willingness to embrace new challenges.

They said the experience allowed students to push their limits.
