Gateshead Thunder were put through their paces at South Shields beach at 6.30am - with thanks to Target Health and Fitness

Terry McDougall from Target Health and Fitness provided Thunder with their "Mobile Gym" which allowed Club Conditioner Alan Dickinson to put the players through their paces.

The "Mobile Gym" contains a full weights set up, core stablity balls, tyres, ropes, logs, cones and agility poles.

The players did a full weights session - exactly the same as if they were at Gateshead International Stadium - and then competed in an special designed conditioning course.

Club Conditioner Alan Dickinson commented:

"Today has been fantastic for all the players and has really allowed us to put some variation in our training."

"None of this would have been possible without Terry and Target Health & Fitness.  He brought eveything to us here at the beach and stayed to help set up and put away."

"We'd have no hesitation in working with Target Health & Fitness again - in fact, we have aleady spoken about geting together for another session like this."
