| OUR ORIAM: YOUR SUCCESS

Travel restrictions have impacted all of our summer plans and many of us have opted for a ‘staycation’, discovering parts of the UK we’ve never been before. Performance Sports Teams have faced similar issues and looked closer to home for pre-season training. This summer we hosted a number of visiting teams from all over the UK. It has been a great opportunity to showcase our super facilities and our team have really stepped up to deliver. 

We look forward to welcoming more teams in the future. If your team are looking for a change of scene for training sessions, you can enquire now.

GYM CHALLENGES
Last month’s Euros 2020 challenges kicked-off our gym challenge series. Well done to everyone who gave it a shot, our leaderboard was packed but 2 members rose to the top. Congratulations to Lloyd and Kelly!

TOKYO 2020 CHALLENGE 
Our August challenge is now live, inspired by the Tokyo 2020 track events.
Set your time, beat your Personal Best and climb the leaderboard! This month, best times for men & women will win a prize and we have a prize draw for all participants! Talk to one of our fitness team to record your time. 

|YOUR WATT FAMILY

The 10th August is results day for SQA, A-level and GCSE exams! Well done to all students who have persevered through the past year. No matter the results you should be proud of what you have achieved in the face of adversity.

Results day is also the day when many students will find out where they will be going to study in September. 

We will be working with the Heriot Watt Sports Union to welcome all students to our ‘Watt Family’ this year. Stay active, discover new sports and make friends-for-life in club sessions and socials. Watch this space for an exciting range of events, taster sessions and membership options.
