A local gym is offering the chance for talented athletes who were inspired by this summer’s Olympics to win a year’s free membership.
The Gym, Chelmsford, which is based in New London Road, has launched its Place on the Podium Awards, which aim to reward aspiring sportspeople in the borough.
Allyn Condon, general manager of The Gym Group and former double Olympian, said: “After the record-breaking medal haul at the historic Rio 2016 Games this summer, the stories behind the podium success have no doubt helped to inspire the next generation of athletes.
“Not all aspiring and talented athletes get the opportunities in life and by holding the Place on the Podium Awards, we can support the next generation in achieving sporting success.”
To nominate someone, email 150 words to story@thegymgroup.com explaining why the athlete is deserving of the award and giving details of their aspirations and achievements by November 30. Entrants must be over 18.
