Fitness Express signs up to boost GFF’s preparations for year-end tournaments
Fitness Express has joined the growing corporate community lending support to the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF’s) year-end trilogy of tournaments with the donation of hampers containing fitness products for players to enhance their preparation for the return of senior competitive football.

Fitness Express Manager and Owner Jamie McDonald has said he is happy to offer his support to football, especially because more and more players are using fitness supplements to optimise their performance on the pitch.
“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,” McDonald said.
“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,” he said.
Accepting the hampers on behalf of the GFF, Assistant Technical Director Bryan Joseph offered sincere gratitude to Fitness Express for coming on board to support the return to play.
“This year, we have three tournaments running simultaneously, so it’s a huge event for us,” Joseph said. “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,” Joseph said.
“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,” he declared.
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 is to be held over the period December 11 – January 2, and the GFF-K&S Futsal Championship is to be held over the period December 14 – January 8.
