Esporta sets new Spinning Record
Esporta, the premium UK health club operator, has established a new Guinness World Record™ for the largest spinning event on static bikes. The record involved 323 Esporta employees cycling simultaneously in an organised class, and took place on 28 February 2008 at the company’s annual conference, held at the spectacular Concept Centre in Bedford, UK.
Guinness World Records adjudicator, Kristian Teufel was present at the event to invigilate the spinning class and certify the new record.
Esporta’s CEO, Glenn Timms, who led the class, together with fitness instructor Winston Stephenson, said: “Spinning is very popular among the 3,500 classes that are organised each week in Esporta’s 55 clubs across the UK – its high-tempo, instructor-led classroom format, creates a very conducive environment to help people get the most out of their workout. We are delighted to have established this Guinness World Record which is a demonstration of our drive to encourage all our employees to ‘live the dream’, regularly experiencing and replicating the benefits that our members enjoy participating in group exercise classes.”
