Riders and Vaulters get their own fitness center at Herning2022
The world’s best riders and Vaulters meet in Herning, Denmark for the FEI World Championships in Jumping, Dressage, Para Dressage and Vaulting from 6 – 14 August. Top-level equestrian sports largely require riders and Vaulters to focus on their own health and fitness, and not focus solely on the horse’s training and fitness.
Athletes can, of course, use fitness rooms at the hotels where they are accommodated, but by setting up a well-equipped fitness center on the venue, they have the possibility to train in a well-equipped fitness center when they have time, even when staying on the venue.
“We have responded to an inquiry, as the Vaulters need to be able to maintain their form during the competitions in order to practice their sport,” says Casper Cassøe, who together with Jens Trabjerg is responsible for the running of Herning2022. He continues: “We have found a professional partner in Fitness Engros A/S they are experienced and can handle the task and ensure that Herning2022 has a well-equipped fitness center for the athletes.”
“Fitness Engros A / S is very proud to be the Official Fitness & Training Equipment Supplier during the upcoming FEI World Championships,” director Brian N. Andersen says, and he continues: “Even though our name is Fitness Engros (Wholesale), we would like to be seen as an equipment supplier for a wide range of sports including equestrian sports. We see it as a great honor to be involved and to support major sporting events in Denmark. We would also like to use this event to expose Fitness Engros A/S as a supplier to the private segment, which we also have a strong focus on, via our on-line shop.”
“We look forward to furnishing a fitness room in the Jyske Bank Boxen, giving the riders the possibility to work on their own fitness during the FEI World Championships. The fitness room will be equipped with everything from treadmills, exercise bikes and a lot of functional equipment, so there will be plenty of opportunities for the riders and Vaulters to train their own body, ”concludes Brian N. Andersen from Fitness Engros A / S.
