COVID-19: UPDATE 16

December 1, 2020

Dear athletes,

What a year it’s been! We are grateful for having each and every one of you continue to be part of Pinnacle through thick and thin! As Cycle 12 begins and as we prepare for year-end, we have a couple of facility announcements.

Enhanced Athlete and Coach Safety

Following the Government’s announcements yesterday we are happy to announce that with tightened training regulations, gyms are staying open. We welcome the enhancements and are grateful for the trust to operate and continue to support your training goals. So what do you need to know? Well effective from Wednesday 2nd December the below regulations will be in place.

  • All athletes and staff to wear a mask at all times, including when training

    Rest assured other than comfort there is little evidence to suggest a decrease in performance, especially during strength training.

  • GDS capacity

    For all Performance athletes, your facility has been rearranged, divided, and safely allocated into training in four separated groups of 2. Each pair must remain in a dedicated space to ensure social distancing and adherence to new regulations. Bookings will be live on the app by 18.00 tonight. As ever, please do not arrive to the gym without a confirmed booking.

    All BLACK Tier athletes will still enjoy their unlimited access to 1-2-1 sessions with their coaching team.

  • Concurrent Facility and Online GDS Schedules

    To support all BLACK Tier and Performance athletes that would like to train online, we have launched a concurrent Facility and Online schedule. This allows athletes that wish to train each day to join us online from the comfort of their homes. Again, please utilise your App or Lead Coach respectively for supporting with these bookings.

  • Conditioning Outdoors

    When the weather is as perfect as this why wouldn’t you run outside? We will be sending out a running programme for all prospective 10k’s to keep working on their PB’s and accumulate tracked miles on the trails.

Advent Challenge

24 days til Christmas, 24 ways to get some extra work to prepare for that Christmas feast! Staying true to Pinnacle form, we’re ending the year with our Advent Challenge. Everyday at 0800 beginning 1st December til 24th December, we’ll be posting the Advent Challenge of the day in our Instagram stories. So if you haven’t been following us yet, now would be a good time to start. Everyone’s welcome to join, tag your friends and family - the more the merrier!

Through all the challenges the year has brought, we can’t thank you all enough for your loyalty. Your hard work, dedication and commitment to the relentless pursuit of becoming better athletes each and everyday is what makes us thrive and aim to be world-class.

So cheers to our Pinnacle athletes, cheers to family!
