Love Your Shape! Fitness session

Brian Lenihan, Energize Health Club Manager, Strand Hotel will visit the centre on Tuesday 22nd February 2011 to meet with those involved in the “Love Your Shape” Group. He will facilitate an introduction session on fitness, which I’m sure will be of great benefit to those of us striving to make positive changes in our general well being (or to finally get into those skinny jeans!!!!).

The fitness session will be held in the Board Room from 5.00pm – 6.00pm. The normal weigh-in session for that time period will be brought forward to 4.45pm (also in the Board Room). Those who are not members of the group are more than welcome to attend, for the same small fee of €5, which will go into our general LYS fundraising initiative
