We were delighted to welcome back all our Fit4Life Groups last week. Booking system is working well once we got everyone set up initially. Thanks to all our Leaders who are taking groups of up to 14 runners at different paces. We still have some space in our Beginners and other groups. Paces are from walk/jog to 8 minutes per mile. If anyone is interested in returning to Fit4Life or joining us for the first time please email gchfit4lifebooking@gmail.com with any questions you may have. It’s going to be a long winter so it is great to get out there training with a group.

We are delighted that we now have 150 members signed up to TeamApp to book their spot at Fit4Life sessions. We have experienced group leaders, max 15 per group and staggered start times, pre-booking and attendance tracking so all fully COVID compliant. Looking forward to seeing all groups back this evening. Three months training left this year so at €45 still a bargain! Email gchfit4lifebooking@gmail.com for more info.
