Not everyone in the gym is quite what they seem, two of our members spend a vast percentage of their day pretending to be someone else..............

Ash & Gary in Clash of the Titans 2

Gary Swannell and Ash Beck spend their days standing in for more famous people when the going gets too tough. Gary and Ash are stuntmen/doubles for the stars. Next time you sit back to watch an action packed movie it could be them being blown up, dropped from height or taking the punches..................

Team Evo Strongman

Evolution Gym Sheffield, has its very own team of strongmen, not just one or two we have a core of dedicated trainers who aim to increase their strength and then test themselves in some unbelievable events. Ever tried lifting a car battery out of a car? - well imagine lifting the whole car, pulling a 7.5 tonne truck or just carrying 100kg (double me) for as far as you can... All in a days work for these guys.

The majority of the training is in the gym and building strength but they do practice techniques too with atlas stones, tyre flips, axle lifts etc.

You can keep up to date with their antics on the blog - just follow the link on the right hand side of the page

The gym continues to produce athletes for the stage, we are only half way through this year but have already seen numerous members compete.

BNBF

Our very own Jon Clark made a comeback after two years away from competition with his first venture into the world of the Master (over 40s). As an elder statesman of the sport he did the gym proud placing first in the British Natural Bodybuilding Federation (BNBF) 2011 Northern Championships and qualifying for the British Finals in September.

Steve Howarth finished 2nd in the Men's Heavyweights again with an invite to the British Finals. Steve is also competing NPA Mike Williams Classic this year and the NPA Final in October with a view to defend his British Title.

Kelly Rennie, in only her second year of competition again qualified for the British Finals placing 2nd in the BNBF Figure Class at the Northern Championships.

Other competitiors at the BNBF Northern Championships were; Phil Dean and Matt Ward (Novice), and Nicky Rodgers in the Figure Class - everyone did brilliantly and the support from the gym in the crowd was noticeable.
