Latest People: Recent events at Alive Health & Fitness, Nuffield Health, Rockinghorse, & Terraces

Alive Fitness
Alive Fitness & Natural Health, independent Brighton based gym, opened its doors for a spooky charity event on Sunday 28 October. The “Spooktacular event” raised £530 for two local charities: the Martlets Hospice and LostCatsBrighton. Alive’s sales manager Joseph Tanner and personal trainer Jenny Dunn organised the four-day event and involved all the staff at the gym. The event kicked off with a gruelling Spookathon, six work-out classes back to back, after which guests were able to enjoy a well deserved cake from the charity sale and enter a less demanding raffle. The whole staff dressed in fancy dress making sure people got into the spooky atmosphere and the crèche offered face painting for the little ones.
