Staff see life as an athlete as Posh trainers come to visit

The employees at the BGL Group took part in the session recently, as Peterborough United’s Head of Sports Science Ben Mackenzie replicated a typical day in the life of a footballer for workers at one of the city’s biggest organisations at its on-site gym facilities.

Ben was joined for the gym-based session by defender Andrew Hughes and winger Gwion Edwards, who gave plenty of support to the volunteers who put themselves forward to be subjected to a tough afternoon workout.

Justin Bentley, one of the workers who took part said: “We have a wide range of sessions put on by our very own Fitness Coaches each week, but it was a real treat to have Peterborough United come down and run this special ‘train like an athlete’ session with us. For me, it was a bit of a dream come true.”
