BREWERS fans and residents of East Staffordshire and South Derbyshire are being invited to join Burton Albion Community Trust's ongoing #FitFans programme and discover what it takes to train like a champion.

Based at the Pirelli Stadium in what is being billed as 'a workout like no other', fans looking to get in shape will be able to use the club's facilities and equipment which helped the current League Two champions stay fit and strong to beat some of the best clubs in the land.

Men's sessions will be held every Monday from 6pm to 7pm at the stadium.

The classes will be run by Jack Sharkey, the current first team sports scientist, as he puts each participant through their paces and pushes them on to their next goal.

There is also a chance for women to take part in their own programme of activities, on Wednesdays, between 6pm and 7pm, led by local trainer and enthusiast Jane McMullen who ensures that fun and fitness work together for female #FitFans.

For both classes, the first session is free of charge, and after that it is £4 per session.

Fans can turn up without booking, and should report to the Vera Goode Suite for 5.50pm with a drink and suitable clothing.

Further information is available by calling 01283 565938.

It is an exceptional training session, very hard work and really worth it. Jack takes you through each bit of the session, tells you why you are doing, how it will benefit you and why it is the right kind of training for the players (we do the same stuff as the players). We had a great session a few weeks ago where we did three different kinds of running,one the 'old school' training done everywhere a few years back, the next a run session that Gary Rowett brought in and the final one based on a session JFH had introduced, all with subtle differences and all aimed at mimicking the kind of fitness you need in a game.

I watch the game differently now, I see when the players are getting their recovery and when they need to push, you can also spot those who perhaps need to do a bit more work ;-) but I am sure Jack has already got those noted :-D
