Presentation:
Adam Smith is a powerlifting champion who works with colleague Lily Yu at Nova Performance, a weightlifting and powerlifting gym in St Ives. Adam said they pride themselves on creating an environment where people can improve their fitness successfully in a friendly, committed and dedicated space, where there is a real sense of community amongst those seeking to achieve their goals in private coaching or group sessions. For Adam creating the right environment is very important. “We write programmes tailored to members’ own unique goals, but for us it is not all about the programme you have but the environment you train in to achieve success.”
The gym is open to all, whatever your standard of fitness, from beginners to those who may wish to compete in powerlifting and weightlifting, with classes starting at 6am for early starters. Members book through PT Minder, which gives them a record and log of their workouts. For those looking to make a difference, Adam, said they need to train at least three times a week, either in personal training sessions or classes.
