“We encourage everyone to set new fitness goals and work towards achieving them.


“Having the correct footwear for your feet and training apparel designed to improve performance can make a big difference.


“We encourage customers to look for moisture-wicking fabrics, compression gear and lightweight materials.


“Hopefully, this Olympic Games will motivate people to be interested in using the same equipment as their favourite athletes.”
