Aside of finding the first class quite tough, what impressed me straight away was the attention Irving gave to all his students, his pretty in-depth knowledge about fitness and weight training and just the general vibe amongst his students who were somehow at ease and enjoying themselves, despite all the hard work.
Aside of general fitness, when I was looking around for a gym my main objective was to build strength to help with my cycling. I had been a member of various gyms over time, but never quite felt that it was helping me with core and leg strength. Most gyms seem to focus on muscle building rather than weight or strength training. I read about the PIT in a Time Out feature and decided to trial one of their group classes. Aside of finding the first class quite tough, what impressed me straight away was the attention Irving gave to all his students, his pretty in-depth knowledge about fitness and weight training and just the general vibe amongst his students who were somehow at ease and enjoying themselves, despite all the hard work. Anyway, I joined the gym and started a steady personal training regime with Irving. I feel that over the last few months I have made real progress as evidenced mostly by a pretty massive increase in my cycling strength (goal achieved!). But more importantly, all my training has been injury free and Irving makes sure you take your time before adding weights, to give your body a chance to catch-up and yes, avoid injuries. I’d highly recommend the PIT to anyone who is serious about first and foremost build all-round strength as fantastic base for any sport.
