SoCo Performance has launched four new different types of functional fitness classes at their clinic in Leopardstown.
David Clancy (insta: @dclancyphysio), will lead the classes and will focus on targeting different areas that can form part of your rehab programme, part of your prehab programme, part of your injury prevention programme, part of your training programme, and everything in between!
There will be a limited timetable to begin with, however if you would like a specific time and think you can fill the class with work colleagues, friends or family, the team at SoCo will try to accommodate you.
