O
What is a Contender?
ur Ethos as a Contender can be anybody from the butcher, the baker and the candle stick maker, meaning just about everybody under the sun can be a Contender at Contender Fest. Contender Fest is not just about running and jumping, this festival is an opportunity for everyone to shine if they want to, from dance performances, expert demonstrations, to food vendors and our Craft Village and so much more. Even children need a stage to shine and Contender Fest has one, just for them.

Our core values focus on being accepting, of each child, young person or adult. We are all unique individuals. Yes we provide a place for some competition but remember the only true person we need to compete with is ourselves. We believe that, in order to be an outstanding Contender/person. A Contender, understands that it’s not just about their individual needs but gives great consideration to those around them and this must lie at the heart of everything we do.

CASH PRIZE Contender Games Big5 Some Contenders may want to showcase their grit. The Contender Big5 will be held over the three days, and this will be looked after by one of our PT’s and their team, who know their stuff, making sure that any and all Contenders know and understand the dangers that could happen before jumping in. Just like the wild game in Africa’s “Big Five” we just wanted to bring the Big5 of the fitness world, to Contender Games.
DEADLIFT (60 SEC) This tests your overall strength, deadlift is the #1 of strength exercises, it activates almost all of your muscles, from head to toe. When done correctly after a few reps you will feel exhausted and most differently a burn.
BENCH PRESS (60 SEC) No intro needed, everyone knows the bench press, tuck in your elbows and push, flat bench or on the incline lockout those arms and give it your best, will you be out worked.
OVERHEAD PRESS (60 SEC) Engage your core and keep your back straight, now push, chest, delts, triceps and traps will all feel this but will the time run out before you can get to grips with the task.
BARBELL SQUATS (60 SEC) Upper back, abs, obliques, thighs, gluts and traps will all burn, all for the right reasons, this exercise will activate a full range of muscles and could be one of the reasons why some miss leg days at the gym, it truly is known as the infamous leg exercise.
BENT OVER ROW (60 SEC) The motion can be done with dumbbells, or a bar but none the less a great way to activate your core and exercise those arms. The Rules 1. The Contender who does the most clean Reps Wins, all 5 discipline rep’s will be counted and added together and that will give us an overall score. It’s that simple!

Contender fest classes TAI CHI WITH ROBERT JOYCE - ELEMENTAL TAI CHI Tai Chi and Qi Gong has been used for health and wellbeing for hundreds of years. The movements are combined with the breath to produce a gentle but powerful exercise that amongst other benefits improves the immune system, increases blood flow as well as improving the balance of mind and body. The movements are as much a meditation as they are a physical exercise.
YOGA WITH AMBA The sessions will be easy to follow and will encourage you to listen within and to follow at your own pace. The emphasis is on a deeper listening to your body rather than a focusing on the outer shapes. In this way the practice becomes
