Strength & Conditioning For Fighters - Seminar

I am doing a seminar soon in Chippenham for VTJJ, Leigh Remedios' gym. Here is what Leigh has to say about the advice I gave him.

"Alex helped me with my strength and conditioning preparation for Cage Rage and was hugely beneficial. When I was training full time and living alone, I could wake up at 9am, do 3 hours, sleep in the afternoon and do another 3 hours in the evening. I had plenty of time and energy to do weights, running, swimming, sparring, bag work, plyos, bungees etc etc

However, now I have a family and a full time job, my time is a lot more limited, so I spoke to Alex about structuring my training efficiently. It was easy to follow his advice because it made sense. So much so, that I'm bringing him down to my gym to do a seminar for us. TBH, I was a bit unsure as to what he would do - you can't do conditioning for 3 to 4 hours. But I think quite a lot of it will be informative, so bring notebooks! The cost is £20 in advance or £30 on the day and Alex has given me a brief outline of what he will cover, listed below:-
