Winter training

Kettlebells Ashbourne fitness training running cycling cardioWinter brings with it all sorts of reasons to put training on the back burner. Between bad weather, less daylight and the off season, excuses are a whole lot easier than abandoning the couch and hitting the road.

All professional athletes know that the hard work is done in the off season. Golfers do all of their drills and gym work in their downtime so that when the season starts they’re ready to go, better than last year.

Cyclists spend the winter and lousy weather days on the turbo trainer and focusing on strength and conditioning so that instead of waiting for the good weather to begin getting in shape for races and sportives, they’re already there, stronger and faster than last year and wasting no time.

It goes hand in hand with that age-old adage handed down from generation to generation, summer bodies are made in winter! You can take your training up a gear or keep it ticking over but the important thing is not to lose the momentum and to make it out the other side fitter, stronger and more ready than when you went in.

Below are the three most common reasons for easing off training during the colder, darker months. The fourth reason is injury. To some of the top athletes, injury can be seen as an opportunity to focus on flexibilty training and core strengthening. Not a dead end, just a detour.

About Us

Impulse Fitness is the new face of Kettlebells Ashbourne, which has been in operation in Ashbourne since 2010. As Kettlebells Ashbourne owner Aidan Fitton was offering clients a great deal more than kettlebells, it became apparent that a new name was needed. This coincided with a brand new premises in Ashbourne Business Park. This busy fitness centre in Meath that provides beginner to advanced classes to improve strength, stamina, fitness and endurance. One-on-one and group personal training is very popular for kickstarting a fitness regime or boosting your regular training. Contact Aidan to find out about training plans for adventure races and runs, eating plans and advice on the best training for you.

Clients Testimonials

Ashleigh Matthews has been training with Aidan for about 5 years. "Training has worked for me as it helped me to lose 5 stone. When I started I was so nervous that I wouldn't be able to do anything but Aidan gave me moves that I could handle and as my fitness increased he made things a little harder. "Aidan makes the classes interesting and none are ever the same. He always has a laugh with everyone and makes the workouts fun as well as challenging. It's a mix of resistance and cardiovascular which is proven to burn more fat than doing separately and I am living proof of that." Aoife Deacon: "Since beginning training with Aidan just over six weeks ago i have lost over a stone in weight and numerous inches from my chest and waist, as delighted as i was to see the results, so was Aidan, i felt he was genuinely happy for me and what i had achieved, This meant a lot that he was so invested in my fitness and lifestyle.
