Back to training

Our trainings have resumed per normal with the relaxation of safety measures in mid 2022. We welcome staff members to join -- you can just walk in during our training times and say hi. Do tell us if you plan to come regularly so we can better plan the use of equipment or book more lanes.

To give you an idea, in a training session we cover about 2 km with a mix of sprints and drills. If you are unsure, just drop by and try it out.

See you there!
