The upcoming sports and fitness equipment swap and fitness event on Sunday 15th January at SOLAS in Portarlington, Co. Laois has really taken off with over 15 different clubs, gyms and Personal trainers booked in on the day. David Maher explains “SOLAS has organised a series of FREE fitness workshops on the day, starting at 11am, including yoga, Zumba, Jiujitsu & bubble Lock dancing. It really is an ideal chance to get to see and choose between the different options that are available locally to keep fit and have fun in 2023”
Central to the day is the equipment swap (from 12-4pm) where customers have 2 choices #1, they can donate their goods for free to a new home or #2 where they can pay €2 to drop off their unwanted items with a suggested sale price and see if they can sell on the day. To date a number of great pieces of equipment have been dropped in including ‘As new rowing machine’, and a stationary bicycle holder.
Maher continues “why pay full price new or leave your house cluttered with unwanted sports equipment, when you can rehouse the items with another person in the locality – it is the perfect low-cost circular economy solution for 2023”
