Inspired by the Crossfit games, this day saw teams go head to head in numerous fitness challenges which tested their strength, endurance and resilience. A huge aspect of Fighting Fit is the community they have built over the years which they believe really sets them apart, as it gives members a forum to connect with people on a similar fitness journey to them. The event was another opportunity to bring people closer and let them put their training to the test!

Special awards were presented to Mary Hoey for ‘Spirit of the Games’, Megan Duffy for ‘Fittest Female’ and Paul Halpenny for ‘Fittest Male’. The winning team was led by Casey Jean McGuinness and comprised Paul Halpenny, Megan Duffy, Mark Matthews, Ashling Matthews, Denise Lynch and Daniel Connaughton. Fighting Fight says it wants to congratulate everyone who took part.

It also believes in extending its reach beyond the gym floor, and has raised over €50,000 for clubs and charities to date through various events and fundraisers.
