Winter Training @ Afterburn Fitness
Program: Sundays (12 weeks): 8:00-10:00 AM, January 6th to March 24th,  Cost: $175
Coach: Terence Yu        Program Coordinator:  Lolita Uy
Indoor winter training is a key part of preparations for a successful season no matter what level of team you paddle for.  Club member Lolita Uy has arranged this training program with Andrew Liew at Afterburn Fitness where we have been going for many years.  They have a gym for circuit training and a specially built paddle pool that closely simulates paddling a dragon boat. Video review will also be incorporated into the program on a regular basis.

The cost is $175 for the 12-week program. It includes an hour of pool paddling with a dragon boat coach (8-9 AM) and then an hour of circuit training with a fitness instructor (9-10 AM). The program is designed to push you technically and physically, but at your own pace.  Everyone is welcome.

>>> A CAR-POOL PICK-UP WILL BE ARRANGED AT YONGE and COLLEGE at 7:15 AM Sunday mornings for those interested. 

If you have any questions, please contact LOLITA at: lolitauy65 @ gmail.com, or Tim via Tim@RustyDragons.ca or phone (647-971-7332).

Payment is $175.00 and can be sent to Payments@RustyDragons.ca.
