Maybe I
have to invent a better title for a photography project to show the
effort, exertion and willpower shown
by people in the real world gym. How do you show
that in a picture? Well, that's what I'm working out with the
permission and help
of the Foundation and you.
More photo sessions are needed to make the project work including
X-biking, weight training, cross training and maybe other
sessions.
If you're shown here and you'd rather not appear in the album let me
know. If you're not and you'd like to be included - let me know. You
could use the contacts page here
or tell me. Thank you.
Meanwhile
if you'd like an image of yourself shown in an album emailed to you
(suitable for web or monitor display) contact me and tell me the
image reference number - either the number with the image or the album
and
number - i.e. album "name" picture "x" of "y" (shown when you enlarge a
thumbnail). If I've mis-spelt your name or got anything wrong please
tell me. Albums
will appear here usually within a week or so of taking the
images. You'll need an up to date Flash Player to see most of these
albums.

Spinning
using Schwinn bikes. June 2007.
Session led by Trevor with Dan and Eamond. |
The images at left were made just before
the
Foundation's last reincarnation into C21 gym & replacement of the
Schwinn spinning bikes with X-bikes. As a reminder of the Foundation's
pedigree a couple of the weight machines from the 80's era remain! Want
to see Trevor & Dan on Wikipedia click here!

May08 Super Circuits. This session led
by Antony with Nicola Caroline Jon Reg Jeff and Eamond. 7am. Warm
up. About 10 stations. 3 circuits - break - 3 circuits - break - 2
circuits. Cool down. |
Unlike adverts non of these images are
posed. Low light, high contrast from down lighters , mixed lighting,
mirrors and the position of equipment as well as fast movement
all add to the challenge of showing "effort".

Jun08 Circuits led
by Tina with Reg Jon Trevor & Eamond - pain on the last circuit.
James rowing, Sarah running & Steph on the high stepper. |
Trevor returns after a few weeks absence
& it shows. Eamond keeps up the
pace through the final circuit.
Tina keeps everyone moving to time & an eye on
technique. Meanwhile
Stephan high-steps James rows & Sarah's pony-tail and
blurred feet keep rhythm.

Jon has "worked out" at the Foundation
since he was old enough to join & so likes an occasional change of
venue. He took a trampette to Verona to exercise by the gladiators
arena. |
