New Fitness Suite open

Francis Brennan star of RTE’s “At Your Service Show” opened the new fitness suite at Smarmore Castle Fitness Club in Ardee last week. Mr. Brennan was in Smarmore Castle filming a follow up edition of the show in which he and his brother John visit businesses in the hospitality and leisure industry around Ireland to analyse and suggest solutions to problems they are encountering.

The fitness suite has around 90 square metres of floor space and will offer members of the club a wide range of new fitness classes ranging from aerobics and AB-blasts to yoga and Pilates.

We’re the club that gets results

Gerry Kelly’s column in some of this weeks local papers highlighted the great performance of our four “get fit again in 2010″ volunteers. The rather banal headline “King Peter beats target” hid the story of Margaret, Mary, Peter and Jack who all succeeded in losing weight and improving their fitness levels over the 10 weeks of the challenge. Peter managed to lose almost 3 stone by exercising regularly and cutting out all the junk food from his life.  We will be publishing an interview with him soon to get the full story.

Final weigh in for LMFM volunteers

After 10 weeks of exercise and dedicated training our four volunteers from the LMFM afternoon show had their final weigh in this afternoon. Mary, Peter and Margaret were weighed by Gareth in the LMFM studio while Jack had his on Wednesday. We were delighted that everyone lost weight and Peter managed to lose an impressive 3 stone.

Gerry Kelly interviewed the participants and Gareth live on air. Everyone said that they were feeling better after the experience and wanted to keep on working on their fitness levels.
