We have a new cross trainer, treadmill and bike, joining our rowing machine and multigym. We now also have a large matted area for floor work. Students have the opportunity to join Gym Club on Friday afternoons and have an official gym induction followed by sessions getting familiar with the equipment as well as safe working out routines. Students are taught the importance of warming up, cooling down and stretching as well as improving their awareness of what their body feels like when it is working  hard using gym terminology such as the RPE scale (Rate of Perceived Exertion). Students are also being introduced to the gym as a way to explore regulation. Teaching assistants have taken part in some training with our gym instructors so that they can support regulation in the gym throughout the school day.
