Bamaga Enterprises Ltd (BEL) is contributing $1,000 to Steel Fitness Bamaga to hold its annual fitness challenge in late August.

The event is usually a three-day challenge but will be modified to one day this year due to COVID-19 factors.

Steel Fitness Bamaga Owner, Leandra Newman, said the competition gives participants a goal and the chance to see how fit they are.

“We put our clients through a program, which so far they’ve been doing from home, to encourage our athletes to improve their health and also to engage with each other.

“We have three categories – open, scaled and masters – and award three places in each. We’re expecting around ten participants this year because of the current situation. We’ve sold equipment to clients and they’ve been training in isolation.

“This is the fifth year running of the challenge and we wanted to keep our momentum going. It’s likely to be a closed event this time without spectators and we’ll end the day with a presentation and barbeque,” Ms Newman said.

BEL has supported Steel Fitness Bamaga annually since 2016 as part of its Socio Support Policy under the ‘Sporting & Recreational Activities’ category.
