Fitness Express maintains solid support as Powerlifting seniors set for today

The Saint Stanislaus College Auditorium will again be the center of attraction when the marquee event of the Senior Championships takes place as the curtains come down on another successful year of the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation.
There is always highly anticipated competition among both male and female athletes in this year-ending showdown, as apart from aiming to outlift each other, athletes would be endeavouring to register good lifts and totals in order to register their intention for international competition.
And maintaining support for this event — something that had been done for years — is Fitness Express, who would be sponsoring gift vouchers for the overall male and female lifters. In handing over the vouchers, Manager Ian Rogers said Fitness Express was more than elated to continue its rich tradition of supporting powerlifting, and sport by extension.
“This sport has been consistently doing well, and we at Fitness Express (are) always happy to reward the athletes for their consistency. The fact that one of your athletes, Dominic Tyrrell, was rewarded as the Runner-up Sportsman of the Year and others were nominated for other awards speaks to your commitment to excelling. This is our way of saying well done and thanks for your support over the year and years.”
For unflinching support provided over the years, GAPLF Executive Member Kiana Benjamin has thanked Rogers, and owner of Fitness Express, Jamie Mc Donald, on behalf of president Franklin Wilson and the executive committee; and has posited that Fitness Express holds a special place in the sport of powerlifting and sports in Guyana, for its continued commitment to athletes’ development and support for administrative progress.
The senior championships would commence at 09:00hrs tomorrow, and an exciting time is anticipated as athletes from a number of gyms in Berbice, Georgetown, Essequibo and West Demerara are expected to be in contention.
