Irish Heart Teams Up with Sphere Fitness

Sphere Fitness in Maynooth launch free 6 week fitness challenge for Irish Heart

Sphere Fitness has teamed up with Irish Heart, for a six week health and fitness challenge to help the people of Maynooth to improve their health – and raise funds to support Irish Heart’s vital community services.

John Lark, gym owner and Manager, said: “We are really excited to have joined forces with Irish Heart.  The charity has a very active health promotion team, encouraging people of all ages to adopt a healthier lifestyle, so this is a perfect fit for us.”

“The Big Heart Fit Camp challenge is designed to create a healthy change in your life with support and advice on fitness and healthy eating. It is suitable for people aged from 18 upwards and we will take on anyone from fitness fanatics to keep fit beginners. This is not about pretty little six packs. This about anyone looking to get just that little bit healthier 1 day at a time” John continued.

“Over the six week programme we will work hard to help you become healthier and fitter by providing three free professional training sessions under the supervision of the Sphere Fitness staff, per week plus a healthy eating guide.”

We know that 80% of heart disease and stroke is preventable and by taking positive steps to adopting a healthier lifestyle you can lower your risk today.  This programme not only spreads our message but also help us to raise vital funds for our community services in every corner of the country.”

“We have run similar Big Heart Fit Camps in other towns and the participants have seen amazing results.  We wanted to bring this great challenge to the people of Maynooth who are known for their huge community spirit.  Whether you want to kick start a health transformation or you want to get fitter for the festive season, this challenge caters for everyone.  The challenge is free to enter but we are asking you raise €350 in sponsorship for Irish Heart.”
