PRESS RELEASE: CHAMP OPENS BIG LIFT AREA IN EVESHAM GYM
*******************************************************************
PRESS RELEASE: New Strength Area for Evesham Leisure Centre
Evesham resident and EUROPEAN CHAMPION power lifter Larry Whyte will officially open Evesham Leisure Centre's new Rivers strength area on Monday 3rd December. Larry thanked the centre for their sponsorship over the last 12 months and said “I have worked on my cardiovascular training at Evesham Leisure Centre and until now have had to work out with the heavier weights at home in my garage. I think this new strength area with the extended heavy weight range I requested will be a real boost for the Centre”.
The new strength area boasts an impressive new range of Technogym kit and a wide range of weights from 1.25 – 20 kilo’s, a cable crossover to work upper pec’s, a multipower bench with weight loading discs, as well as a Scott bench for those bicep curls and two new benches to use with all of the new free weights.
Head Fitness Instructor Nigel Grundy said “this is a great boost for the Centre and just what the gym needed, as customers have been requesting heavier weights for some time now”.
The new area is available to all our Rivers fitness room customers, if you wish to have a tour of the fitness rooms please give us a call on 01386 444212.

DAN GETS HEAVYWEIGHT AWARDS
Hi there
I just thought I'd take this opportunity to congratulate my friend Dan Jones on his recent awards of Consumer Journalist of the Year & New Journalist of the Year 2007. As some of the regular blog readers will know, Dan is a Features Editor at Mens Health Magazine (following a recent promotion!) who did an awesome 6 page feature on my achievements earlier in the year - The Life of Iron. In fact, this very article was part of his winning portfolio to gain him one of the highest accolades for any new journalist in the UK.
This is very well deserved! Also, big up to Dan on becoming the Features Editor...this award winning stuff must be infectious!
PS - keep your eyes out in 2008 for a new project from myself & Dan Jones!

A Message from Down Under & Beyond
Hello
Forgive a small indulgence, but I wanted to share this with you; it features my late friend, 6 time World Masters Champion Bob Withers. He will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by all, and it was my very good fortune to spend some time with this gentleman during my 1st World Championships in Bendigo 2006. For those who didn't know Bob, this will give you a tiny insight to the man himself.

STEVE IN ACTION AT THE MIDLANDS
Hi thereJust another quick shot to share with you of my son Steve: here he is securing his place in Bradford 2008 with a 200Kg plus unequipped deadlift. Talk about being a proud Dad!
(excuse the dark photo)
ANOTHER WHYTE RESULT IN THE MIDLANDS
Hi There - allow me to introduce a new face to you - it's my youngest son Steve.He is a future British and World Champion in the making as he has loads of natural raw talent. Steve, who competes in the under 23's, has just qualified for the British championships in Bradford, to be held at Bradford University in July 2008. He is also in his last year at Oxford University where he is studying law. I am proud to say he is an awesome deadlifter for his age & kinda reminds me of some one else I know (!) I have wittnessed him lifting over 240 kilos in the gym this year, and over 200 kilos to qualify for the British championships. So watch out for this kid cos he is up and running !
