New gym created for exclusive-use of Formentera sports clubs athletes

gimnasclubs web2014Councilor of Sports of the Formentera Island Council, Sergio Jiménez, held meetings last week with each of the Formentera sports clubs in order to inform them of a new fitness installation at their exclusive disposition.

The Council has provided a total of 16 weight-lifting machines for installation in a space recently fitted by the administration's maintenance teams. The space, which occupies an area of 30 m2, is located within the same structure that houses the municipal tennis courts.

Each club will be given an access key permitting weekly use of the facilities, thus promoting physical fitness and improving the rankings of Formentera's competitive athletes.

Likewise, Council president Jaume Ferrer has signed an act with Municipal Sailing School director Asier Fernández that will permit use by the Formentera Council of the sailing school's facilities. The move is aimed at improving the promotion of sport through the creation of this exclusive facility.

The Office of Sports is currently defining the guidelines that will regulate use of the centre, but it is clear that it will be open to all Formentera athletes who are federated within a particular sports club and/or those who participate in competitive events. The management team of each club will have to present an anticipated programme of use, allowing the Council to monitor and regulate proper functioning of the space.

The Formentera Island Council has an interest in ensuring a quality service, as does Asier Fernández, who has provided this equipment for use in training by the 14 different sports clubs on the island.
