Newport Live have brought back, this summer, a unique 2 day programme designed to increase practical exercise skills and nutritional knowledge for 12-16 year olds. The course aims to introduce young people to Fitness helping them to ace their techniques, build confidence and make friends!
The course took place on the 26th and 28th of July at Newport Centre and was a resounding success, with participants learning fitness and training techniques, gaining an insight into the world of leisure and fitness and the chance to make new friends.
Bryony Gurmin, Health, Fitness and Wellbeing Manager added “We’ve really loved delivering Rookie Fitness again. We think the course is a great opportunity to pass on our enthusiasm, knowledge and passion for fitness to young people and give them opportunity to learn new skills and learn more about the world of leisure and fitness.”

On course completion – Rookies will have a certificate of attendance and are invited to become Rookie Champions and volunteer on future courses”
