Irish rugby stars to help launch new gym in Naas this Friday
Two of Kildare’s finest rugby exports will be on hand to help officially open Educogym in Naas this Friday afternoon in what promises to be a day of great entertainment and education for everyone who comes along.
Kill duo Adam Byrne and James Tracy, both of whom played for Ireland in the November win over Argentina, will be taking time out of their busy schedules to officially launch the gym. The event will be taking place at Educogym on South Main Street in Naas from 1.30pm until 4.30pm.
Along with the two Leinster stars, the KFM outside broadcaster will be there on the day to cover all the events and to talk to some of the members of the gym, and, of course, CEO of Educogym, Jamie Myerscough, and gym manager Terence Berry.
There will plenty of fun on the street as Superman and Wonder Woman will make an appearance, and there will also be a strength test game as members of the public can show their power on the giant ‘Hammer Strike’ game.
The theme of the event is ‘unleash your super you’ as Educogym invites people down to get a taste of how their personal trainers can help to change the lives of persons who use the gym. There will be some incredible giveaways for people that come down, and KFM will be running hourly draws for Educogym memberships while they are on site.
Speaking ahead of the official launch of Educogym, CEO Jamie Myerscough said; “I’m really looking forward to the big launch event on Friday. Plenty of work has gone in to making this a very enjoyable event for everyone who comes down, and I’m sure we can help to entertain as well as educate anyone who has even a passing interest in health and fitness.
“We have some great giveaways available for anyone who is interested in having a look around our gym, and of course we’re also looking forward to seeing our existing members whom we value very highly.”
The grandson of legendary horse trainer Vincent O’Brien, Jamie has inherited those same gifts of mentoring, training and focus and applied them to people who are looking to build towards being the best they can be. Jamie’s clients have included some well- known entertainment and sports personalities, most notably Major-winning golfer, Darren Clarke who he helped shed an amazing 4.5 stone and pop star, Robbie Williams.
“Our workouts are just 20 minutes long, so they don’t take up too much time, they are intensive but incredibly effective,” explained Jamie.
“People waste their efforts with endless running on treadmills or spinning bikes and get little or no results. Our training sessions incorporate resistance weight training and focus on specific areas of the body for each session, such as legs, arms or the back and so on... We encourage our clients to create a mental blueprint of how they would ultimately like to look and feel. They imagine themselves as healthy, with more energy, maybe slimmer, more focused and stronger. This encourages them to be more focused not just in the gym but through all aspects of their life.”
