LMFM four get results

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.

Get fit volunteers on LMFM radio on Good Friday

Our "get fit again in 2010 campaign" in conjunction with LM's Late Lunch show finishes tomorrow (April 2nd) when our four intrepid volunteers, Peter, Mary, Margaret and Jack will be heading into the LMFM studios to be weighed and measured by Gareth live on the air.

The aim of the campaign was to see if four normal people could improve their general fitness levels and lose weight by following a properly planned fitness training programme under the supervision of the staff here at Smarmore Castle Leisure Club.

So far the results have been very good with everyone making substantially progress towards their goals of getting fit and getting their weight under control.

Tune in at 1.30 pm to hear the full show or listen online on the LMFM website .

LMFM late lunch - begin again in 2010 campaign

We are very pleased to be hosting the "begin again in 2010" campaign being run by LMFM's late lunch programme. Last week the show's presenters Gerry Kelly and Deirdre Hurley invited listeners to put a case for why they should get an opportunity to join our leisure club and get expert advice from our fitness team on how they can lose weight and get into shape over the next 10 weeks.

The four volunteers- Mary, Margaret,Peter and Jack came along to the club last night to have their first weigh-in and measurement under the watchful eye of Gerry from the show who recored all the action and broadcast it on today's show.
Gareth carried out all the weighing and measuring and gave some valuable advice and comments on what everyone should do next to meet their goals.

It's very brave of Mary, Margaret,Peter and Jack to do this challenge with everyone listening to their progress. Usually your fitness programme is a thing between you and your instructor. Having met everyone last night though I think that they will be successful as they all have their own motivations to get fitter and lose some weight. Our team are looking forward to the challenge. We always say that we can help people to get fit so this is a chance to show that we can get results for members while the ears of the north-east listen on. Gareth got things off to an excellent start last night and has already booked in three of the participants in for a full fitness assessment and induction session in the gym.
