Gym for Heroes @ Riverview Gym

Staff and members at Riverview Gym completed a 24 hour endurance challenge this weekend.

The event was organised by Vicky Hart, Stacey Reeves, Bob Beautyman and Dave Jones as part of the national Gym for Heroes Week.

Each of the people who took part completed a gruelling three hours cardio work out, spending one hour on the treadmill, one hour on the rowing machine and another hour on the bike.

Owner Vicky Hart said:

“The support has been fantastic. We arranged it at the last minute and we’re pleased that so many of our members, and even some non-members, took part.”

“Everyone here at Riverview would like to thank those that took part and we think we have raised around £1000 for Help for Heroes.”

“Also we would like to thank Belk Marr of Blue Keld Water for their kind donation, and the guys at Pizza Pan for providing us with pizza at 2am!”

Starting at 1pm on Saturday and finishing on Sunday at 1pm, they kept all three machines going for the full 24 hours.

Those that took part in the challenge were;

Vicky Hart, Dave Jones, Stacey R, Bob Beautyman, Darren, Chris Mitchell, Ricky Smith, John Ewan, Jonny Kershaw, Jonny Ricardo, Stu Clennett, Lynn, Glinda, Gill Buck, Ken Fix, Patrick Gower, Shaun Walker, Dave Jones, Tony Frost, Angela Robinson, Danny Scott, Gordan Jenney, Melissa.
