Four LSF Athletes confirmed for The GHMF!

LSF Athletes can receive up to £2,500 in funding
 
Four Lifestyle Fitness Athletes have now had funding confirmed for their respective sports, all through The Gordon Hall Memorial Fund!
 
The fund was set up in memory of Gordon Hall, our Managing Director from 1998 to 2019, who sadly passed away in 2019. The aim of the fund is to provide financial support to our employees, personal trainers and members who train with us and compete in a recognised sport at a national or international level on a self-funded basis. This was something Gordon strongly believed in.
 
The first four of our athletes for 2022 compete in a mixture of sports and come from different areas of The UK. Keep reading for a look at the current roster of LSF Athletes!
