During a special opening event on Thursday 8 January the new Cardio Gym was officially opened by Rhona Auckland, 2014 European Under-23 Cross Country Champion; Jim Aitken MBE, Director of Sport, University of Edinburgh; and Jonathan Griffiths, UK Marketing Manager for PRECOR.
Rob Barker, CEO of PRECOR, our gym equipment supplier also sent a video message from PRECOR headquarters in Seattle to mark the event.
In recognition of the 102 pieces of new equipment, to be the first to use them. Attendees were challenged to walk, run, stride or cycle as many metres as they could, with the aim of achieving 885 kilometres(around 500 miles) between them, in acknowledgement of the PRECOR top of the range 885 series. Members were inspired to participate with the well-known song by The Proclaimers - ‘I’m Gonna Be (500 miles)’ playing in the background.
