A serious effort was exercised in a local gym this week for more than toned bodies for Christmas.
Michael Dempsey at McFit Gym on Barrack Street organised a 24-hour gym-a-thon in aid of Active Ireland Mission.
The gym, which remained open throughout the challenge, saw fifty members take part in a strenuous 24-hour activity all for a good cause.
With sponsorship cards still filling, Michael told Carlow First it may be a couple of days before they can tally the total raised.
The gym-a-thon from 10am Wednesday to 10am Thursday saw the members using the free weights area, 4 bench presses, 2 assisted benches/smith machines, resistance area and the cardio machines continuously for the entire time. Phew!
