Healthy Living Week 2014 was a true success with over 460 people attending the week. Imperial staff and students had full access to a wide range of free activities – body MOT’s, free classes, gym challenges, sports massage, nutrition and back pain management seminars were all on offer.
The gym challenge involved over a hundred people and was an exceptionally hard press-up challenge, 1 set 1 rep and so on. The pyramid only stopped if members couldn’t complete any more repetitions or were timed out on 10 minutes. Congratulations to Giulia Ferretti who won the women’s gym challenge and received a huge goodie bag of prizes! Giulia is a student at Imperial and a committee member of the Imperial Cheerleading team.
A huge thank you to Paul Smithhurst and Ali Al Ramahi, Ethos’ s very own personal trainers for providing online fitness support, sports massage and back pain assessment seminars. If you are interested in any personal training please contact activelistyles@Imperial.ac.uk for a referral. Michael our residential osteopath completed free postural assessments throughout the week coupled with some back and neck pain analysis.
Finally we had free classes galore and they were all brilliantly attended! Boxing, GRIT, salsa, spin and boot camps were ran throughout the week with fast classes running throughout the day in the gym. Ethos also teamed up with Les Mills who provided us with the resources to run a GRIT PLYO class. Thank you to Les Mills for allowing us to run this one off featured class.
The Active Lifestyles Team will be running new studio classes in the summer and more events across the year. If you would like to receive more specific information on our services, please contact our email address, actlifestyles@imperial.ac.uk
