As part of their Personal Growth and Wellbeing unit on the BTEC programme, our SEND students recently participated in a fantastic gym session. This was also supported by two amazing personal trainers at PureGym Brierley Hill.
Additionally, the group engaged in a high-energy workout session that included:
- Cardio and boxing rounds
- Weighted arm and leg exercises
- Core strength training
This experience really challenged the students and pushed them beyond their comfort zones. The results were inspiring! The enthusiasm, motivation, also the resilience they showed were incredible. It was clear to see how much confidence they gained throughout the session.
The personal trainers were brilliant because not only did they tailor the exercises to suit the group’s needs, but they also encouraged each student to reach their full potential. Their positive attitude and encouragement made all the difference.
Finally, after the workout, the students were treated to a guided tour of the gym, and during the visit, were generously gifted free passes to return. We’re thrilled to report that some students have already gone back independently. A real testament to how much they enjoyed and benefited from the experience.
A huge thank you to the team at PureGym Brierley Hill for making this opportunity possible and for helping our young people build confidence, resilience, and a love for fitness. You can find out more about PureGym at Brierley Hill here – https://www.puregym.com/gyms/brierley-hill/
