Jordan Fitness are delighted to announce that we are sponsoring the brand new category for Functional Training Gym of the Year at the National Fitness Awards in 2013. 

As a new category for 2013, this award is aimed at clubs which are solely dedicated to functional fitness, as well as traditional gyms that have created dedicated functional areas to tap into this growing trend. To be in win a chance of winning this category, you should provide details of why you chose to focus on functional fitness, any specialist equipment you have which makes you stand out from the crowd and any impressive results your members have seen from training in this way.

The National Fitness Awards say, "The third National Fitness Awards at The Athena in Leicester won widespread praise for a superb evening at a great venue with a host of very worthy winners. So this year, our challenge is to surpass the success of last year's spectacle

"Nominations are open and we hope that even more gyms of all shapes and sizes will get involved by entering the UK's biggest and best free-to-enter fitness industry awards. It's a brilliant opportunity for operators to raise their profile, gain new members and boost staff morale. We had hundreds of entries last year and we're hoping for more in 2013."

Tamara Emery, Marketing Manager at Jordan Fitness says, "It's a great honour to be sponsors for the Functional Training Gym of the Year category at the National Fitness Awards 2013. Functional fitness is a hugely growing market in the UK, suitable for all levels of user from beginners seeking to improve their everyday wellbeing to elite athletes requiring performance training. This award will recognise gyms that put functional training into the heart of what they do; those that engage and motivate their members and ultimately get results."
