Check out this young kid in action

This guys and gals is FITNESS……

So, last week I managed to get my youngest up to Golding Barn for his 1st time on his new KTM on a track, and with the expert guidence of Jason Morris from Dirt Bike Gym he manged to do me proud, Then as a return favour I had to put the Moto X kids through some serious conditioning as the season has now started and I wanted to make sure that they go into the races seriously fit!. My other highly ranked MX Rider Sean Barnsdale raced on Sunday and I am very keen to find out how his arms held up ( as he has suffered with a bad case of arm pump on his practice sessions) But hopefully since I introduced the dirt bike gyms “Arm pump” machine into his training program this would have helped……

I also had the chance to run through some boxing/wrestling with the Shoreham College yr11 boys, this was a great session and they had a great time grappling each other in the ZT Fight Skool MMA Octagon, they even dragged me in to have a play…..
Then next up we had the Saints & Sinners from Dorothy Stringer school, I have to say that they are really trying at school to avoid Sins, and even a couple have been put forward for outstanding achievement, this really makes me proud… Well done boys .

But this week has really been about preparation for the Brighton Half Marathon, although on Friday I made the fatal error of going up to the Fight Skool at 1.30pm just as Fighters training was about to start and couldn’t turn down the stand up sparring session (as all the guys & girls are fighting in 3 weeks) so on with the boxing gloves head guard and shin guards then 1 hr later and very bruised knees I’m asking myself WHY would I have wanted to do that when I have 13 miles to nail on Sunday, anyway after a S##t load of Arnica and ice I was ok. The run on Sunday was tough, but good!! I finished with an official time of 130.34 so only 35 seconds outside of the sub 1.30 I was looking at, so happy days, I have to give props to Stride UK for my gait analysis studio 57 for my ultra sound, TS treatments for my rub downs and Donna, Ethan, Boston and the ZT Massive for supporting.

My interview is between 33 and 46 secs into the clip

Then it was back to ZT for the Amateur MMA tournament, we had fighters representing both Hove & Eastbourne Fight Skools and as ever it was an electric atmosphere and all the guys fought hard..

You will also see that we are sporting our new motto “Eat Less Train More” T shirts these are available to buy from reception for £15.

Anyway guys and gals have a great week busting your butt in the gym.

Take care

Sol Gilbert

Danny and I did his little hill run……

Roll on Sunday 20th Brighton Half we’re coming for you……

Well yet again we have had another great week here at ZT, The classes have really got going and Christian Villa’s boot camp had some fantastic results so well done to all that took part and achieved and exceeded their expectations.
I Have to give a big well done to two of my clients Elliott & Jack who have lost 6 inch’s of their waist and 4 of their chest’s, they have both really been very committed to making this happen, they train 5/6 x per week (3 x high intensity and 2 x boxing) and have taken the diet very seriously, well done guys!.

Ever since I opened ZT Fight Skool back in 2004 i have always had an open door policy to anyone who wants to fight and offered my services and facilities for sometimes virtually nothing, but now we have grown into a fully equipped facility with trainers that have travelled far and wide to gain expert knowledge in helping athletes get to the top of their game as quickly and as effortlessly as possible , I cannot offer it for free (as time is money right, and they all charge me!) so, I have put together a fighter package that consists of 8x UT Training sessions (with JC Santana qualified coaches) Alex Backhouse & Christian VILA 4x normal PT session with a ZTPT, Unlimited Fight Skool & Fitness classes, 1x sports massage, and 1x chiropractic/osteopath session for £399 pm and for additional diet plans to help with getting you too fight weight add another £250.this will ensure that everything will be ready for your competition.

I have had a great week with the schools, I am an avid supporter and get a great feeling watching my eldest play rugby for his school Shoreham College, The team spirit they share is great to watch (even if I am standing on the side line getting soaked) each of the boys have something different to bring to the table and the Coaches @Shoreham do a great job of placing them where their strengths lie, So as a good will gesture I offered our services @ZT to the coaches as reward scheme for all the kids that have really tried hard for the school, and on Friday I had some of the year 11′s and trust me when I say this they are big dudes I mean proper UNITS!!! So Alex and myself put them through some wrestling and Olympic lifting drills for and hour solid and they left all smiles!, 

Saturday saw coach Dani Vlad teach the 1st of many Olympic Freestyle Wrestling sessions in ZT, we had 13 juniors in the 11am session followed by 18 teen & adults in the 12pm session, I personally got a lot from the session and can’t wait for the 6 week course to start on march 5th, for the next 2 weeks we are running intro sessions that are P.A.YG £5 juniors £8 Teen & Adults for more info ask @ reception or hit me up at sol@solgilbert.com

As always guys, keep training hard, I’m off for a run as I got 13 miles to nail next Sunday yayyyyyyy!!!

take care and God Bless

Sol Gilbert.
