New Year Get Fit- Stay Fit Program is now up andrunning in Streete Parish Park on Friday evening at 7 pm. Barry Webb a Professional Trainer with great experience working with sports partnerships in Longford and Westmeath is offering personal Weight Loss and Fitness Instruction. Barry’s co-partner Shannon who is also a fitness instructor assisted in the weigh in and working out a personal fitness and diet plan best suited to each person who attended.

Barry tells me he had a full class and welcomes new comers to sign up any Friday evening at 6.15 before the class starts at 7. The class is open to Men and Women of all ages. We are delighted to have Barry come on board with the Parish Park to offer this great service. Anyone who valued Weightwatchers will welcome Barry’s personal program focused on you on a one to one basis.

Each program will run for six weeks at a time starting with a weight in and a strategic plan drawn up for you to manage your food and inspire you to take part in a weekly fitness program in the Parish Park. The cost of the six-week program is €50 which is fantastic value when you consider you have your own personal trainer to mentor you along the way.
