Win a six-month membership with Newport Live

After a bit of a health scare two years ago, our Chris gave up the booze, cut out the cigarettes and chocolate and joined his local gym. Utilising some of the money he was saving from not drinking and smoking to have a one to one session with a PT at least once a month at his local gym.

“I heard a lot of positive stuff about Newport Live and jumped at the chance to try their facilities at the Geraint Thomas National Velodrome of Wales,” said Chris.

“Then they told me I’d be joined by our #SWNTM winners, who already look amazing – Isabel is a sprinter and runs for a team in Swansea and Joseph regularly goes to the gym. No pressure on me then I thought at the age of 35 – cough cough!

“Upon arriving I was blown away by the facilitates at the Velodrome, the equipment is second to none and the choice of apparatus is perfect for both the beginner and advanced fitness fanatic.

“The session, which lasted just over an hour, included a session on the bike, walker and some boxercise including some kicks which I absolutely loved. Voice’s Chris joins the gym!

“Chatting to my trainer I was amazed to hear that a session like this, once a month, was all included in Newport Live membership, given that a one to one would normally cost between £20 and £40 – this was great value I thought to myself and my trainer really cared about my personal goals of what I wanted to achieve, pushing me whilst understanding my, shall we say, limitations!

“My verdict... if you’re looking to get this year off to a great start, join Newport Live!” Thinking of shaping up this year with Newport Live? Here are six quick fire questions Chris asked during his session:
