Introduction By WGC
A light hearted look at some of the races at Gorton this year

 Jason King                                                                   vrs

The superbly fit Jason King who trains with some of the best X Trainers in the country regualry - is stepping up a gear with Will - close and tight throughout -an amazing race will ensue.

 

David Lloyd Gym

    Sam Orgee                                                                
Sam was last years winner and I believe this was his first event then - the rest to date is a meteoric rise to the podium on many occasions - by one of the nicest guys out there today.
 Steve Oxlade                                                            vrs

Whether climbing the heights of Kilimanjaro or being there at more or less every X Training event ever! Steve continues to be a top athlete with a focus to endure beyond what is considered the norm in physical fitness.

Fitness First Covent Garden.

 Kirsty Read                                                                 vrs

Local champion, Kirsty was the winner of last years event. I know she trained at the Male Open level to complete the course in a winning time and that training paid off. All this training Kirsty does in between cutting and styling hair!

 

Fitness First Gorton.

 Sarah Connoly                                                           vrs

The petite frame of Sarah is one of the most misleading aspects of this sport, for such a small frame - Sarah has incredible strength.Then throw amazing core abilities too (recently Sarah completed 3000 sit ups for Charity ... non stop!) And this again will be a very close race.

Calso Gym

 Mel Broole
Mel was the driving force behind the growth of X Training at Dragons in Sale. Even though he' tagged' me at Hampshire, forcing me to leave the event - he still remains one of the most respected X Trainers out there! And one of the main reasons that Manchester has such good X Training roots.
 Ben Stroud
Ben has moved on to the scene of X Training, more so in the last few months. Having competed in a recent national event and ending up with a top 3 placing - Ben will will no doubt be a force to be reckoned with.
 Sam Saunt
Sam very quickly became more or less a name on everybody's lips after her first victory in the Intermediate at the tender age of 17 - this from somebody who didn't like sports at school. Throw in Kirk Gibbons as a Personal Trainer and a bit of dedication and hard work and the the future definitely looks bright for Sam in X Training.
 Ian Johnson
 
 Will Whitmore

Will, last years winner of Best of the Best and organiser of the dbmax events will be pushed all the way on this race. Having Jason race along side will mean that this will be one of the races of the day.

 

Nutricia Gym

 Nik Kandola

A finalist in SAS are you tough enough? And runner in tough guy events, Nik Kandola is a formidable athelte who when on form and hitting peak fitness is going to prove a race to remember.

 

 

David Lloyd Gym

 Steve Reagan Watts

Steve is as genuine a person as you could care to meet - always pushing the benefits of X Trainers to his clients and setting examples to those who try these events. Recently married to Sue Reagan Watts - a great couple and perfect ambassadors for the years they have put into the sport and the events they have organised.

 Becky Ciel

Becky is a Personal Trainer from the Calso Gym in Kent, recently rowed a marathon in 3 hrs and 24 min's. Forever pushing the sport forward with her partner Gary Nicholas. The winner and runner up of last years event will be another great race.

 

Calso Gym Kent

 Mikki Skingsly

Mikki is a good friend of mine who trains with Amber and Nelson Anderson, Nick Kandola and Jason King - all from David Lloyd in Essex. Also giving her training tips is Gary and Becky - who also train Sarah - this will prove to be an interesting race.

David Lloyd Gym

 Dan Edge
Dan trains with Kirk Gibbons and is one of the few X Trainers out there who has recorded a time for WGC Challenge at Advanced level. Meeting Dan and his g/f Lindsay Francis - another devoted X Trainer , you will know how this couple reap the benefits of training along side one another - as X Training is gender free training.
 Kirk Gibbons
Kirk is a real gentleman of this sport. Anybody intrested in getting in great shape could benefit from using Kirk as their PT.
 Penny Bunton
