step into sheer indulgence, calming and restorative, the key to the Bodyz experience
CHARITY ROW -THE MEMBER TAKES ON THE INSTRUCTORS
Bodyz member Rob Alderson (42) challenged a team of three fitness instructors to take part in a charity row on 25th March. His challenge was to beat the three man team of fitness instructors by half an hour. The distance was 100,000 (62.5 miles) and was expected to take somewhere between seven and eight hours.
The instructors, a mix from both gyms Bodyz and EveryBodyz are Dave Smith and Jake Rousseau from Bodyz and Damien Stretton from EveryBodyz. Thankfully the fitness instructors won, taking six hours, forty-three minutes and forty-one seconds. Rob Anderson's time was seven hours, four minutes and forty-nine seconds making him the third fastest man over 100,000 meters on a row machine!
This is not the first rowing charity event that Rob has taken part in. On Red Nose day a few years ago he set the fastest time in the country for his age group over a mile. He has also taken part in a four man team for McMillan Cancer research that rowed the equivalent of actually rowing to Ireland and back on a rowing machine. Rob also competes regularly at the British Indoor Rowing Championships (BIRC).
AND, the purpose of all this exercise ... to raise money for CANCER RESEARCH.
Cancer Research is a charity close to Rob's heart.
In June last year he lost his brother to stomach cancer just two months before his fiftieth birthday, leaving a wife and two young children.
MONEY RAISED, £1,000
