Despite the snowy conditions and icy roads gym goers up and down the country have been finding it hard to get to the gyms and stick to those all important New Year’s resolutions this January.
Teams at Harpers Fitness, Leisure Connection’s fitness brand, didn’t let the snow and icy conditions stop them and their members from enjoying a work out. The health and fitness team designed a special programme for keeping fit in the snow and uploaded it to its ever popular website so that members and customers alike could download it and keep on track with their fitness programme – even if they couldn’t get to the gym.
Kevin Yates, Commercial Manager for Harpers Fitness said: “We all enjoy the snow but we were finding that members and customers were getting frustrated with the fact it was stopping them getting in for their work outs. Therefore, we designed a really simple programme that made the most of the snow and included activities that could be enjoyed by the whole family. For example, the exercises included making snowmen, having a snow ball fight and sledging. We’ve even had centres doing classes in the snow… the programme has been a tremendous success.”
