PERSONAL trainers in Cheltenham showed how it is done with a three-hour endurance test.

Five members of The Fitness Team were put through their paces to raise money for Help For Heroes.

The personal trainers completed an hour of cycling, rowing and running at the Prince of Wales Stadium on Saturday.

Their efforts raised Pounds 550 for Gym for Heroes.

Director of the company Charlotte Wanford said: “We thought it was a really worthwhile cause and we have friends who are in the RAF.

“They did brilliantly although they found the rowing quite hard.”

The participants had plenty of support with clients turning out to cheer them on and youngsters throwing sponges at them as they completed laps of the running track.

The Fitness Team, which is based at the Prince of Wales Stadium, is also holding a raffle.
