Being a member of a Formula One pitcrew is a
high pressured, fast-paced, skilled role that
can be very rewarding but requires a great level
of commitment and physical preparation,
explains Gemma Fisher, Human Performance
Specialist at Williams Racing. This work begins
way ahead of the start of the season with a
thorough fitness assessment, where we look at
everything from flexibility to upper body
strength and reaction time. The fantastic
variety of cardiovascular equipment we have in
our state-of-the-art Williams Cybex Gym at our
headquarters in Grove enables me to obtain
important information about an individuals
current level of fitness and allows me to
identify specific aspects of their training to
focus on.

The Williams Cybex Gym is equipped with premium
cardio equipment from Cybexs 700 series this
includes treadmills, total body Arc Trainers,
recumbent and upright bikes plus the new SPARC
Trainer. And its the work that the team puts in
at the gym that can make all the difference on
race day To ensure that the crew can complete
successful pit stops in split seconds under
pressure, hours of practice is required to fine
tune the skills required. This includes job role-
specific training using the range of strength
and functional equipment we have at our
facility, added Gemma Fisher. The adaptive
mechanisms and well-researched design of the
Cybex kit is able to meet our unique training
requirements, enabling us to work on all
