jakphillips@leisuremedia.com Bannatyne’s gains unlikely rival
Duncan Bannatyne’s ex-wife has expanded her growing chain of CrossFit-affiliated gyms with the opening of CrossFit Jacana in Durham, less than a mile from one of Duncan’s health clubs. Joanne Bannatyne, who
divorced the entrepreneur and TV personality last year and was also managing director of Bannatyne’s Fitness, has opened the Belmont Industrial Estate club with her business partner. The move has generated

headlines as it comes months after Joanne Bannatyne took out a large advert near her former husband’s Darlington offices, to promote her CrossFit DL2 gym with the slogan “Welcome Your New Neighbours”. However, she says the new opening is purely about business, with CrossFit Jacana fitting the brand’s industrial setting profile and being
ideally located to attract new members. “Given who she was married to, there’s
always going to be interest in Joanne, but she’s just focusing on building her business,” says Joanne Bannatyne’s spokesperson. “It was all about finding the best setting –
the fact Bannatyne’s is nearby didn’t even come in to it.” Details:

Increasing physical activity levels by just one per cent a year would save the UK economy £1.2bn over the next five years, according to a new report from industry body ukactive. Turning the Tide of

local authorities will spend only £30m tackling inactivity in 2013/14, against £637m (2,000 per cent more) spent on sexual health. This is a mismatch when costs are compared, as the most recent estimate – by Professor Kevin Fenton of Public Health England – suggests
that inactivity costs approximately £10bn a year, while the Family Planning Association estimates costs for sexual health at £12.05bn. The report defines inactivity as carrying out fewer than 30 minutes physical activity over a span of 28 days. Details:

“We are currently using Keiser’s Functional Trainer with athletes on our Performance Programme. We want to do everything we can to give our athletes an advantage, so equipment that can give us a variety of loads and modalities makes sense. Keiser’s equipment is also really useful in rehabilitating athletes. Going down to around 1kg of resistance you can put speed back into rehabilitation in planes of movement that make sense to both athletes and physiotherapists alike. Keiser’s equipment has been a good investment for us.”
