Five boot camp girls are getting set to run
Fat fighters taking part in the Pink Ribbon Run/Walk
A GROUP of women who attend a weekly fat fighting “boot camp” are limbering up for Royston’s Pink Ribbon run/walk.
The five are part of Royston Leisure Centre’s inch loss boot camp, which was started last year by the leisure centre’s fitness manager, Gemma Burge.
Between them they have now lost 20in from their waists, and will be taking part in the Pink Ribbon event on June 27 to raise cash for Marie Curie cancer care.
Gemma said she was delighted to have so many members of the Leisure Centre putting their training to such good use.
A spokesman for the centre added: “This team has lost a combined total of 20in from their waists and had lots of fun getting fit at the same time.
“Meeting weekly the boot camp ladies, who proudly wear their yellow Royston Leisure Centre Inch Loss Boot Camp T-shirts, have been focusing on nutrition, exercise and each week bring a food diary and set goals under Gemma’s guidance.”
