NO VITALITY POINTS TOWARD STATUS FOR WEIGHT LIFTERS

Since the lockdown vitality has denied weight lifting vitality members crucial vitality points towards vitality status

Ie I’m a diamond member to keep my status I need to achieve my fitness points

Due to the lockdown gyms are closed which weight lifting members achieve 100 points per gym session

Vitality have only accommodated those whose training protocols are based on cardiovascular Through workouts logged via fitness devices ie heart rate monitors

Weight lifters whose goal is muscle grow cannot increase thier heart rate to that of those who train cardio

It’s impossible and further more dangerous for a weight lifter to maintain heart rate to that of cardio workouts

There is a threshold of only 1000 points via heart rate fitness device workouts for 30+ min heart rate 60 to 69percent

This threshold has not been removed since lockdown meaning weight lifters like myself working out at home have exceeded this threshold and now are being denied the 100 vitality points per workout at home Points we would otherwise receive had gyms been open

WHY VITALITY DO YOU NEVER TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WEIGHT LIFTERS GOALS

WE ARE NEVER THOUGHT OF

THAT THRESHOLD SHOULD BE REMOVED

IT IS NOT FAIR THAT A WEIGHT LIFTER MUST NOW WORKOUT FOR OVER 60 MIN AT A HEART RATE OF 70 -79 IN ORDER TO RECIEVED VITALITY STATUS POINTS

GIVEN THE LACK OF EQUIPMENT AT HOME COMPARED TO THE GYM IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND FUTHER MORE DANGEROUS TO ACHIEVE A HEART RATE OF 70 to 79 OVER 60 MIN STRENGTH TRAINING

THE GYMS HAVE BEEN CLOSED OVER A MONTH NOW AND THERE IS NO WORD AS TO HOW MUCH LONGER WE CAN EXPECT FOR THEM TO BE REOPENED WHICH LEAVES ALL WEIGHT LIFTING MEMBERS WITH NO REAL HONEST OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP OUR VITALITY STATUS IN CHECK AND KEEP THE BENEFITS IN LINE WITH THOSE STATUSES

I NORMALLY WOUKD TRAIN IN THE GYM 5/6 TIMES A WEEK THATS ROUND 2400 VITALITY POINTS PER MONTH THAT WE ARE BEING DENIED

BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID INCONSIDERATE THRESHOLD OF POINTS FOR 30+ MIN 60 - 69 HEART RATE HAS NOT BEEN S****PED FOR THIS LOCKDOWN NO GYM PERIOD

ITS NOT FAIR THAT STRENGTH TRAINING CLIENTS ARE TREATED THIS WAY

YOU NEVER EVER TAKE OUR GOALS AND OUR TRAINING INTO CONSIDERATION VITALITY ITS **** POOR ATTITUDE THAT YOU LOOK AFTER RUNNERS AND DANCE CLASS JUNKIES BUT NO YOU CANT THINK BEYOND THEM

WE ARE LEFT TREATED UNFAIRLY EVERY TIME

THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED YOU ARE EFFECTIVELY DEMOTIVATING MEMBERS

DENIED US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAFE GUARD THE VITALITY STATUSES WE HAVE WORKED HARD FOR YEARS

IM DIAMOND I WORKED FOR THAT STATUS

I WILL NOT ACCEPT BEING LEFT UNFAIRLY TREATED
