Fitness Express joined the growing list of corporate entities supporting the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) year-end activities, donating hampers containing nutritional products and fitness supplements for players to aid in their preparation for a return to competitive play.
This was disclosed by an official release from the federation.
Fitness Express Manager and owner, Jamie McDonald, said, “Over the last 10 to 11 years, Fitness Express has had a rich heritage of giving to the powerlifting, bodybuilding and strength sports, but over the last four or five years, a lot of footballers and endurance athletes have been coming in for supplements.”
He added, “I feel that we need to give back support to the footballers using supplements day in and day out, so we are really happy to be on board for this tournament this year – to start now and maybe do a little bit more in the future.”
Meanwhile, GFF Assistant Technical Director Bryan Joseph, who accepted the hampers on behalf of the entity, said, “This year, we have three tournaments running simultaneously, so it’s a huge event for us. I’m happy to hear that footballers are coming into the store now to buy supplements because the name itself – Fitness Express – is so connected to the sport, where fitness is such a major part of everything we do.”
He added, “Thanks again for coming on board in such a big way, and we look forward to developing this partnership as we go forward into a new year.”
The GFF-K&S Super 16 Cup is scheduled to be held over the period December 12 – January 1, the GFF Women’s Super-16 Festival 2021 to be held over the period December 11 – January 2 and the GFF-K&S Futsal Championship to be held over the period December 14 – January 8 will be played in venues across the country, including in Georgetown, Buxton, St Cuthbert’s Mission, Providence, Leonora, Linden, New Amsterdam, Bartica, and Essequibo”, the release stated.
