Yr Hen Ysgol

“Yr Hen Ysgol” Fitness Centre is Carmarthen's premier strength and conditioning facility. It prides itself on creating a friendly environment that brings the community closer together and helps individuals bring out their best. Located in the heart of Carmarthen, “Yr Hen Ysgol” offers a range of fitness classes and facilities to cater to the diverse needs and goals of its members.

One of the key features of “Yr Hen Ysgol” is its commitment to making a difference in the local community. The fitness centre regularly organises events and fundraisers to support local charities. One notable event is the annual AM59 challenge, held in November to raise funds for Pancreatic Cancer UK. This challenge involves completing a 100,000m cycle on a Concept2 Bike Erg.

The support of the community is crucial in making these initiatives successful.

The fitness centre offers a comprehensive timetable of classes to cater to different fitness levels and goals. These classes include boot camp, WOD (workout of the day), assault-fit, and women's circuit. The WOD classes follow a functional fitness programme that aims to develop overall fitness by focusing on stamina, cardiovascular endurance, power, strength, speed, flexibility, coordination, balance, agility, and accuracy. Each class incorporates a combination of weightlifting, bodyweight movements, and metabolic conditioning.

These classes are designed to cater to all fitness levels and abilities, and movements can be scaled to individual needs.

Assault-fit classes are designed to help members burn over 500 calories per session. These classes focus on improving metabolic conditioning, muscular endurance, and fatigue management. There is also an extended version called assault-fit+, which is 15 minutes longer. These classes have a maximum of 8 participants per session and require an induction.

In addition to classes, “Yr Hen Ysgol” offers an open gym slot, allowing members to use the facilities at their convenience. This gives members the flexibility to create their own workout routines and focus on specific areas of interest.

To ensure a personalised experience and maintain a comfortable class size, there is a maximum limit on the number of participants per class. Members must book their slots in advance via Team Up, and it operates on a first-come-first-serve basis.
