sporting summer!

I can’t quite believe it’s finally the Olympic summer. It only seems like yesterday that it was announced that London would be hosting the 2012 games and now we are here! So, to try and keep you extra entertained this summer, we’ve got a jam packed

BitesizeBLT with lots of exciting news!

To start with; the Brentwood Centre is incredibly proud to be hosting Brentwood’s Gone Global, the penultimate Olympic cultural festival before the big finale at Hylands Park in Chelmsford. There will be a procession and performance with Boreas Zephyr (the character travelling around Essex promoting the events). For more info visit pg.10.

If preparing for Brentwood’s Olympic festival wasn’t enough, we’ve got 4 new developments this summer. We’ve got a new cafe/bar in our main reception, a new martial arts centre, the Brentwood Barbell Club and our very own Physiotherapy unit with Ross Poyton. The ‘what’s new’ section on page 3 gives you more info on all these exciting projects!

Whilst all this exciting stuff is going on, we would like to continue providing the best service possible. If you want to keep up with us on a day-to-day basis then make sure you follow us on Twitter or ‘like’ us on Facebook. We post regular updates, info and any important changes that are happening, so make sure you stay tuned.

We hope you have a lovely sporting summer and we look forward to seeing and helping you achieve your goals.

Look out for kids’ holiday

offers: swim for £1!

Patrick grew up a short distance from Sydney on a farm and has spent most of his life riding motorbikes. Between the ages of 5 and 8 years he was winning Flight Track Racing, then moved onto Motorcross at 12 combining his bike interests with playing Rugby League. At 17 years old Patrick’s interest moved to road bikes and after a brush with the law decided to take his adrenaline addiction from racing on the roads to the track.

When Patrick was 19 years old he won the Superstock 600 and was quickly picked up by Yamaha who he successfully raced with winning the Superstock 1000 in 2009. Then in 2010 following a 3rd place in Formula Extreme, Patrick had a string of crashes breaking his wrist, damaging his knee and being knocked unconscious. This shattered his confidence and he struggled to regain his winning performances. However, he returned to form

and won the last race of the season and Yamaha renewed their contract with him for 2011.

Patrick felt like he needed to move up a level and find a true test of his skills, so using contacts at Yamaha he was put in touch with the Kawasaki team in the UK who were willing to watch him race and assess his suitability for their team. Patrick flew over to the UK and raced for 2 days at Brands Hatch finishing 14th, this was enough to get the team’s attention and he was offered a contract at a price, he would need to fund himself until he could rank high enough to gain sponsors.

So now looking at the 2012 season, Patrick is getting ready to race in the UK on a Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R in the British Superstock 1000 supporting the British Superbike series. The series will have 12 rounds starting Easter weekend and finishing mid October with every 2nd race live on Eurosport.

The Brentwood Centre works closely with a team of highly qualified and experienced Personal Trainers who offer one to one training in weight loss, sports injury rehab, core development, strength training, muscle development, nutrition and much more.

target fit personal training & fitness

health promotions

I have been working in the fitness industry for

just over 5 months now but have been involved

with sport and fitness from the age of 7. I have

played a range of sports over the years, which

include Thai boxing, football, rugby, athletics,

bodybuilding and am a big fan of power lifting.

Participating in these sports has given me great

experience into how to train specifically for

certain goals that you want to achieve. I would

like to use all my knowledge and experience

into helping people achieving their required

targets, whether they are weight loss, muscle

mass, strength and conditioning, toning or

just improving overall fitness and health.

I am currently undertaking my Level 3

REPs Personal Trainer certificate which will

allow me to train clients on a one to one basis, as this will be my next

step on the fitness ladder.

harry


I have always had a keen interest in health,

fitness, nutrition and diet. In my youth

I participated in many sports including

gymnastics, swimming and military style

sky- diving. I decided to gain a qualification

as a fitness instructor so that I could share

my love of fitness with others and to work

with children. That was 30 years ago, and

since then I have worked with both adults

and children in several countries before

joining The Brentwood Centre 11 years

ago. My qualifications stretch from gym

and circuit instructor to personal training,

kickboxing, yoga, power plates and

working with people with disabilities.

I enjoy close contact with people in the

gym and my aim is to share my passion

for fitness with them and help them achieve their goals.

In my spare time I love mountain trekking and have done it all over the

world, from the Himalayas and Mount Kilimanjaro to the Andes and the

volcanoes of Hawaii. I have conquered them all, been to 22,000 feet and

have plans for more!

The Physio TeamBrentwood Leisure Trust is very excited and pleased to welcome to Brentwood Centre Ross Poyton and his team of Physiotherapists. The Physio Team will be offering BLT members and the local community a highly professional and comprehensive programme of treatments and rehabilitation in order to keep active and improve well-being.

We caught up with Ross to ask him about his new move to The Brentwood Centre.

How long have you been a physiotherapist?I’ve been working in a private practice for over 10 years, having completed my BSc (Hons) degree in Physiotherapy in 2001. I then went on to study at the Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia (2007) where I gained a Masters in manipulation to a level of high distinction and was awarded the coveted ‘Brian Edwards Prize’ for clinical excellence. Can you tell me a bit about the service that you will be offering at The Brentwood Centre?We are a musculoskeletal service and have years of experience in treating spinal and sports injuries. All our physios regularly treat back and neck pain, ankle pain, headaches, knee pain, tennis elbow, arthritis, whiplash, shoulder pain, degenerative conditions and work related disorders.

Do you need to have a referral or can you just book and be treated?Anyone can ring and make an appointment (self referral). However, we are registered with all major insurance companies e.g Bupa, AXA PPP and accept referrals from consultants and GP’s

What treatments can you offer?The physio team offers a wide range of treatments that include manipulation, mobilisation, soft tissue massage, acupuncture and comprehensive functional rehabilitation programmes. We can also provide corticosteroid injections where necessary.

Will Brentwood Centre members be able to have a discount for treatments?Yes, we are happy to offer all annual members a reduced fee.

What will be your opening hours?We are initially planning to operate by appointment, so we will try and accommodate patients when it is most suitable for them. Initially we are looking to do Monday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon / evenings. You can book an appointment on 07799 694673.
