Wakefield Trinity Community Foundation is delighted with the feedback we have received from our maiden Train Like Trin programme.
Relaunching in January, the Foundation has seen an incredible uptake in participants over the last couple of months, hitting heights of around 20+ participants per session throughout the programme.
With a mix of strength exercises and cardiovascular-improving routines, the sessions are run by specialised company & Wakefield Trinity sponsor, A2 Fitness, as we look to promote physical and mental wellbeing throughout those situated across the district.
Speaking on the programme’s popularity, the Foundation’s Head of Education & Health, Luke Shale, said, “We were delighted to see such a large improvement of participants take part in our most-recent Train Like Trin sessions.
“As it was the first time we have run the newly-launched programme, we were very unsure with how many people we would see come down, but we are blown away.
“We hope everyone who took part enjoyed their gruelling sessions & we look forward to seeing some new, and old, faces when the programme comes back towards the end of this month.”
