Edinburgh Leisure’s Leith Victoria Swim Centre is holding their first charity ‘Combatathon’ next Saturday (10 September) from 1.30pm-3.30pm to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
The event, which is open to members and non-members, will be a two hour Les Mills Body Combat class using music from across 20 releases.
Edinburgh Leisure members taking part will be given the opportunity to trial a MYZONE belt during the class, with prizes being awarded to customers who can achieve more ‘Effort Points’ than the instructors taking the class.
‘MYZONE’ uses new technology and is a motivational belt which straps to the chest during exercise and tracks physical activity in real time and online.
The device measures the customer’s ‘My Zone Effort Points’ (MEPs), a unique way of measuring activity and the results of exercise. It calculates calories burned, duration and time of activity, as well as factors including weight, muscle mass, body fat and heart rate.
Nicola Duffy, General Manager at Edinburgh Leisure’s Leith Victoria said: “Edinburgh Leisure already has a really strong association with Macmillan Cancer Support through the ‘Move More’ programme, which is held at five of our centres helping people affected by cancer to take part in physical activity, either when undergoing or following treatment.
“With one in three people affected by cancer, this is a great way to get physically active, set yourself a challenge and raise money for a great cause.”
The event costs £5 to take part, with all proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer Support. To book in for the event contact: Edinburgh Leisure’s Leith Victoria Swim Centre on 0131 555 4728.
