Coombehaven Needs You!!

As many people are aware, I work on Coombehaven in Exeter- A 16 bed inpatient unit for adults with acute psychiatric illness. As research shows physical exercise has positive impacts on mental health and unfortunately we are the one ward without access to our own gym meaning patients are limited to what exercise they can get.

That's where the project "Gymhaven" was launched to raise money for a gym for the ward. With a hefty target of £15k this seemed impossible to reach. So after thinking about how we could set realistic and achievable goals!

For the next challenge we are raising money to purchase a Concept 2 bike with a target of around £1400 this is defiantly achievable.

After thinking of ideas of a challenge that encompasses physical exercise and teamwork I thought this would be perfect....

And the Coombehaven, The Hyrox Challenge was born!! My good friend Brandon at Pulse Gym- Wellington has listened to my ideas and has offered to sponsor the event. Some videos will follow with more information about the workout and what's expected.

Event details- Saturday 10th May

Where- Pulse Gym, Wellington

Time- TBC

Suggested Donation £10 per person

Sponsorships can be added to a form or directly put on this page so you can add gift aid.

In pairs you will complete 8 functional fitness stations, you can split these however you wish. After each station there is a 400m run which is completed together.

This is not competeive. It is about having fun, team building and challenging yourself to get to the end!

You do not need to be a gym bunny either so please don't be put off. The more the merrier.

Open to anyone from Devon Partnership Trust or Pulse Gym members.
