Students at Landau Forte College in Derby are benefiting from the installation of a suite of Switching fitness equipment by local company On Site Fitness.
Comprising 10 specially designed pieces of weight kit, Switching provides the students with a fast, versatile and safe work out.
Each Switching exercise is performed standing up, eliminating machine set-up apart from weight selection.
Whether used as a circuit or as individual machines, Switching's focus is on strengthening the core muscles which aid a user’s stability, something which Landau Forte's Curriculum Leader for PE believes is particularly important for young people.
Using the equipment as part of the college's curriculum counts towards the two hours of high-quality PE that it has to provide each week as part of the Government’s National School Sport Strategy.
Students additionally have extra-curricular use of it in the shape of breakfast clubs and access between 4.00–5.00 pm Tuesday to Thursday.
The Switching Suite has also been hired to personal trainers and their clients.
