The Hull FC Community Foundation has named Graham Jones as the latest Champion Of The Month for September 2023.
Graham is one of the participants on the Community Foundation’s Match Fit programme, which aims to engage local men in fitness activities on a weekly basis.
There are two sessions each week, both taking place between 7.00pm and 8.00pm on Monday and Wednesday evenings at the Elite Performance Centre facility on County Road North.
Speaking to hullfcfoundation.co.uk after being named September’s Champion of the Month, Graham said: “I used to work out at home regularly, but I got out of the habit and my fitness levels started to drop, so I needed to find something to build my fitness up again – that’s exactly how Match Fit has helped me.
“I actually found out about the sessions through a friend who gave me a leaflet advertising Match Fit. It looked like it ticked all of the right boxes for me, and since I started coming I haven’t really looked back.
“Sport has always been a good relief for me. Match Fit has not only helped me physically, but also mentally as well because there is a good group of lads involved and we have some good banter.
“I always look forward to the sessions every week. Plus, it has physically helped me away from the sessions because of my occupation, so I am in a really good place now thanks to Match Fit.”
