Big thank you to for donating a couple of items to the gym !
Firstly a 20kg weighted vest, a great item with many uses :-
1. Walking and Hiking
Adding weight increases the effort required to move, which can:
* Increase calorie expenditure
* Raise heart rate
* Improve muscular endurance in the legs and core
2. Bodyweight Strength Training
Weighted vests make exercises harder without changing technique significantly:
* Push-ups
* Pull-ups
* Dips
* Squats
* Lunges
* Step-ups
This is especially useful when bodyweight exercises become too easy.
3. Running and Athletic Conditioning
* Sprint drills
* Agility work
* Conditioning sessions
4. Military, Police, and Firefighter Training
Weighted vests can simulate carrying equipment and help prepare for occupational demands:
* Load carriage
* Stair climbing
* Endurance training
* Functional fitness
5. Bone Health and Weight-Bearing Exercise
Research has explored weighted vests as a way to increase mechanical loading on bones, particularly in older adults. The added load may help stimulate bone maintenance when combined with appropriate exercise programs.
6. Improving Exercise Intensity
A vest can increase the difficulty of:
* Stair climbing
* Circuit training
* High-intensity interval training (HIIT)
* Everyday walking workouts
The vest will be by the weight belts in front of the Rhino for all to use.
And secondly an Arnold Encyclopaedia which will be in reception for all to read.

Today we bid farewell to Ali
sule786
as he pursues his career in the City.
Ali joined us three years ago at the tender age of 17, a young man mature beyond his years, he has been a stalwart behind reception every weekend, a consummate professional and welcoming face.
It’s been heartwarming to see you grow and use Rhinos as a platform in securing your dream, a top financial position.
Ali beat off over 12,000 applicants in his successful quest to work in the City.
An inspiration to all young men, you are not only exceptionally bright but you have the personality and character to match.
On behalf of Rhinos we are eternally grateful for everything you have done for us.
We will genuinely miss you but wish you every success in your career, you deserve the best.
Good luck for the future.

Gym Equipment - Stairmasters & Steppers
The ionic Stairmasters. We have 3 of them, all get well loved.
Well love is a strong word. Definitely a love hate relationship with them! They're tough but nothing burns quite like the stairs!
As of today they've all be serviced and all 3 in great working order.
Along with the Stairmasters we have 2 Life Fitness Steppers. Similar in nature but slightly less intensive.
Stairmasters & Steppers are fantastic cardiovascular workouts and brilliant for toning the legs; targeting the glutes, hamstrings, quads and calves.
Climbing without relying on the handrails forces the core muscles to engage, promoting better balance and stability. Avoid leaning forward too much and maintain and upright posture.
Alternating between fast and slow speeds helps increase calorie burn and cardiovascular endurance.
Suitable for both beginners and advanced users, it can be used for warm-ups or a full intese cardio session.
Thanks
