STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

"Four medals, endless determination, our young people continue to prove what hard work can achieve."

Building Fitness, Focus, and Future Champions

Coach Daryl Cyprien leads weekly Strength & Conditioning sessions at Brixton Recreation Centre with Active Lambeth. Daryl’s sessions combine dynamic warm-ups, yoga-based mobility, and strength and conditioning circuits designed to improve:

  • Focus and concentration

  • Core strength and endurance

  • Flexibility and injury prevention

  • Confidence and self-discipline

  • Teamwork and peer motivation

Brixton Wings, with four London Youth Games medals, uses this program to prepare young people for future competitions, fostering physical and mental resilience to proudly represent their borough. Beyond training, it promotes wellbeing, healthy habits, and the value of hard work in sport and life.
