Lanarkshire gym group ties in with British Heart Foundation to support lifesaving research
New Age Fitness has pledged to raise £10,000 over a 12-month period.
A leading fitness company with three bases in Lanarkshire towns has pledged to raise £10,000 for British Heart Foundation (BHF) Scotland after it officially launched a new partnership with the charity.
New Age Fitness gym group has marked the start of an exciting collaboration to support lifesaving research into heart and circulatory diseases.
The fitness brand, which has sites in Hamilton, Coatbridge and Wishaw, has pledged to raise £10,000 for the heart charity over a 12-month period as well as promoting heart health and sharing information on RevivR, BHF's CPR learning tool.
New Age Fitness has already hit the ground running with its first fundraising event – a half-marathon and 10K run, scheduled for September 13 – as an impressive 60 participants have so far signed up, with more expected to join in the coming weeks.
The partnership was announced at New Age Fitness' HQ in Hamilton, featuring BHF's beloved mascot Hearty alongside Steven Morley, director of New Age Fitness; David McCaig, Hamilton club manager; Kim Winters, Wishaw Club manager; and Angela McCormack, BHF fundraising manager.
Steven Morley, director of New Age Fitness, said: 'We're thrilled to be partnering with the British Heart Foundation. At New Age Fitness, our passion has always been about creating a supportive community that inspires healthier, stronger lifestyles.
"The work the charity does is truly remarkable, and we're proud to play a part in it. Our charity events not only bring our members together but also allow us to support and contribute to amazing charities just like the British Heart Foundation.'
Angela McCormack, BHF fundraising manager, said: 'I am absolutely delighted that New Age Fitness has chosen to partner with BHF.
"Our research helps the 730,000 people in Scotland living with heart and circulatory diseases, but it is only made possible because of the generosity of the public and partners like New Age Fitness. I'm excited by what we can achieve together.'
