F.I.S.H. Progress

The process of F.I.S.H. becoming a limited company is almost complete. The new Fitness Instruction for Strength & Health Limited will start trading on 1-4-2007.

There have been two recent enquiries from freelance Personal Trainers who wish to start training clients at the studio. Melody is now almost at full capacity and is considering reducing her working hours elsewhere to increase her time at the studio.

Chutz has injured his ankle at work and was unable to do the German Body Comp Program this weekend. Derek has been ill with a virus and unable to train - or eat the usual high protein diet. In fact, food of any sort has been a hardship! We should be back on course next week.

We have started to develop the full German Body Comp Program for our clients, offering twelve weeks of training including diet and supplementation. Melody has one client hoping to start the program next week. Meanwhile we are putting together some advertising around this.

F.I.S.H. Studio Opens

At last the F.I.S.H. Personal Training Studio in Eastbourne has opened for business. Our first two clients through the door were Carole Penney and Jonathan Martin who continue to train with Derek Prior twice per week. Both have made exceptional progress with resistance training technique and both already show impressive gains.

We are still awaiting the delivery of a cable crossover and heavy duty free weights mat on Wednesday.

The new brochures are back from the printers and will be distributed this week.

Melody is almost fully recovered from a bout of tonsillitis and has commenced a two week anatomical adaptation phase using the big compound exercises and target-specific loading and tempo parameters. She will then move on to a three day split (each muscle to be trained once every five days). Derek is supervising Melody's weight training in return for some boxing sessions.

Derek has also recommenced serious training after almost a three month lay off. He is following a three day split (chest, back, external rotators; thighs, calves, and abdominals; shoulders and arms). For arms he is following Charles Poliquin's "Ultimate Arm Program", a six month program with changes every six workouts. The phase one "double tri-sets" are gruelling.

Chutney has ordered us a large Arnold poster to go behind the power rack and Theo has donated an action figure of the Mighty Thor for the desk. Art work for the walls is being provided by Gordon Prout.
