Supplier and training news
Technogym named Glasgow 2014 supplier
Forces peddle group cycling
British troops in Afghanistan have undergone the first group cycling instructor training course to take place in the country, as they bid to keep comrades fighting fit in every sense. Military forces deployed at Kandahar
Airfield were eager to get fully trained up, to be able to offer their respective sections diverse exercise options while in the warzone. Under the guidance of RAF warrant officer
Calum MacIntyre, who is both a serving member of the Armed Forces and a YMCAfit tutor, 16 servicemen from a variety of army units and the RAF have now become fully- certified group cycling instructors.
The Glasgow 2014 Athletes’ Village
Technogym has been announced as the official fitness equipment supplier for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Technogym equipment will be on-hand at fitness centres in the Athletes’ Village, which will be home to 6,500 athletes and team officials from the 71 competing nations and territories during the Games. The Italian equipment provider will work with Glasgow Life to ensure the installations run smoothly, giving athletes access to a vital tool in their pre-competition regimen. This announcement comes as little surprise, given that Technogym has been favoured as the official supplier to the last five Olympic Games. “It’s vital for our competing athletes to have access to high quality training equipment,” says Glasgow 2014 chief executive David Grevemberg.

“We’re very lucky to have a fully equipped
gymnasium plus a group cycling studio at our base, and we wanted to help other personnel learn how to train their own units. I suggested arranging a fully-certified course, where they receive a recognised qualification that they can also carry forward after they leave Afghanistan,” says MacIntyre. The initiative was supported by YMCAfit, which provided eLearning as well as PDF versions of the course manuals. The training provider also charged a half-price course fee of £75.
