Organised by Gym Athlete of the Year 2009 Jamie Spencer (below) The Brighton X Training Challenge takes place this Saturday at Coral Health and Fitness Club in Brighton.

Traveling down from Edinburgh in Scotland to compete joint favourite Alex Woods, a personal trainer who specialises in Golf Fitness (www.golffit.org.uk) takes on rising X- Training and on form Gym Athlete Richard Vint. This race is almost worth watching alone.- and dare I ask it - can either one get close to 13:59 ?

The ladies race will be equally as exciting with

Rebecca Nicholas from Calso Gym in Kent , taking on X Training rising star Kelly Friel. Last year there was only twenty seconds separating them , that's just under two seconds per discipline - just how close can this one go?

Making another appearance is William McKeever from LA Fitness fresh form his first time appearance at Camberley - said Bill when I spoke to him ,

"I am originally from Chicago, and I haven't seen or done anything like this before, I really enjoy it"

That's X Training for ya!

Good luck everybody
