We do a stretchy fitness session at the club over the winter which is well supported, followed by pies and beer, which probably negates the benefits, it is always fun to see the lack of balance of world class dinghy sailors, when standing on one leg and waving their arms around ...

Our club's catchment area is so large that it is difficult to persuade people to come along for the likes of fitness sessions (tho' the did turn out in strength for a one-off talk by Steve Cockerill).

I presume you guys who organise such sessions have a local core membership? If not, how do you lure them along? Beer is a given, but they have to drive...

It is fair to say that the participants are all pretty local, and the Trainer is a sympathetic member, however some of the participants drive up to 20 minutes.  The key issue is having enough space to lay out enough Yoga mats.

It is an enjoyable weekly social, with a meal and a beer.  Might work for some other clubs, but I accept not all.

Works well with the aging dinghy sailor profile.
