Jessica Ennis to officially open Fitness Unlimited gym
January 2012 by Natalie Harrison
Jessica Ennis will officially open a new-look
gym at her home training base - the
English Institute of Sport in Sheffield (EIS – Sheffield) today.
The world heptathlon silver medalist will be the special guest at a VIP reception to mark the relaunch of the Fitness Unlimited gym, which has undergone a 10-week refurbishment project.
Jessica, who trains at EIS Sheffield, will be joined at the launch event (Friday, January 27) by former Olympic silver medalist and EIS Regional Director, Peter Elliott.
Under a six figure plan, the gym has been transformed to include a new group fitness studio, refurbished changing rooms and the latest Technogym equipment – the same kit which will be used by athletes at the Olympic village at the 2012 London Games.
As an elite and community venue, the gym is used by 2012 athletes such as Jessica Ennis and the GB boxing squad as well as members of the public, GP referral patients and the On Track: Sheffield scheme for teenage cancer patients.
At the open event, there will be fitness testing, new equipment and software demonstrations by Technogym, Powerplate and Matrix, and tours of the gym and EIS Sheffield
Fitness Unlimited members are invited to visit the gym and try out the new facilities between 9am and 5pm.
EIS Sheffield is one of 19 sports, leisure and entertainment facilities operated by Sheffield International Venues (SIV).
Fitness Unlimited is Sheffield’s most popular health and fitness scheme and was rolled out into EIS Sheffield when SIV was awarded the management contract in 2011.
Fitness Unlimited membership also offers access to sports facilities and classes at Ponds Forge International Sports Centre, Hillsborough Leisure Centre, Don Valley Stadium, Concord Sports Centre, Graves Tennis and Leisure Centre, Springs Leisure Centre, Stocksbridge Leisure Centre and Heeley Swimming Pool.
