Elite Profile Races

Ben Stroud

Ben is a serving PTI in the Prison Service. A superbly conditioned  gym athlete who has competed many times in the X Training circuit. A return to form from injury will see Ben put in an incredible time and this race with Alex will be sure not to disappoint.

Alex Woods

Alex rise to form has seen him leap into the final race slots with his incredible performances of late. A full time personal trainer who specialises in Golf Fitness . Check out his website. www.GolfFit.org.uk

Sarah Deed

Of the eleven recorded X Training events that Sarah has entered on WGC, she has performed consistently in reaching top 3 finishes in nearly every race. Taking on Kelly will be a very, very close match.

Kelly Friel

The last time Kelly from The Hampshire (Esporta) performed at the same event, she ended up with a faster time then Sarah, by almost a minute. A different course may well see a different outcome, but in who's favour? Another great race is really the only guaranteed result!

Elite Profile Races

Kirk Gibbons  vs  Richard Vint

Personal Trainer Kirk's experience in X Training and recent victory at the Gym Ironman puts him up against last years runner up in Fit Brit and serving Police Officer, Richard Vint.

Both exceptionally well conditioned gym athletes and a case of splitting hairs as to which one of the top guys will come out on top this year.

 

 

Craig Horsfield  vs Simon Bellinger

Local Gorton favorite Craig takes on Simon from Fitness First Luton. With results being as they are , the longer course (Fitness X ) suits Simon, but Craig's performance at Brighton, may well see a this race being anyone's on the day.

Both gym athletes perform well under pressure and it's up for grabs who wants it most!

 

 

 

Trudi Hawksworth vs Sarah Green

Derby LA Fitness best Gym Athlete Trudi, battles it out with Sarah from Gorton FF. This is a case where performance means everything - Sarah's running is outstanding and Trudi's bench is almost legendary and this race will more then likely go to the wire, as each dominate their chosen strength and cardio disciplines.

At Fitness X in May, these two did not race each other, but there first and second place in the final boards, means this could be one of the best races of the day.

 

 

The UK GCA wishes all the gym athletes all the very best at this event. As one of the toughest gym challenges of the year in the Open, it is hardly surprising that numbers are limited. It is what makes members of WGC.com and the UK Gym Challenge Association the UK Gym Elite - versatile in speed, strength and endurance.

Any gym member can take part in these gym challenges in the UK but only the gym elite do. Good luck to you all.
