Daniel Riley from PureGym, Adelaide Street, with Clare Galbraith, Fundraising Manager at AWARE, Ryan Alcock, PureGym, St. Anne\u00d5s Square and Stephen Mackie, Mount Charles Group Marketing Manager, launch Northern Ireland\u00d5s first sweat party outside the flagship Freshly Chopped restaurant on Donegall Square West, Belfast.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gavin Annon, Head of Sales and Marketing at Mount Charles, who own the Freshly Chopped franchise in NI, said: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to launch the first of what will hopefully be many Freshly Chopped sweat parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen the popularity of these events growing in other cities like London and New York, and thought it\u2019d be brilliant for Belfast, especially at this time of year when people are determined to set the tone for their health and wellbeing in the year ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cResearch shows that participation in physical activity can increase self- esteem and reduce stress and anxiety. So whatever your level of fitness, you\u2019re welcome to come along, join in, and leave feeling empowered!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Clare Galbraith,\u00a0Fundraising Manger\u00a0at\u00a0AWARE\u00a0said:\u00a0\u2018We are delighted to be the nominated charity receiving a percentage of the ticket sales from the Sweat Party. It looks like it\u2019s going to be a very exciting event but with a very important message. Exercise is known to have a positive effect on a person\u2019s mental wellbeing and helps reduce the risk of depression, stress and anxiety.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets cost \u00a315 and can be booked by going to Freshly Chopped\u2019s NI Facebook page, Chopped.NI. \u00a35 per ticket sale will be donated to AWARE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
