UrbanFit on Campbell Street recently sent several teams to the Battle Cancer event at Oriam in Edinburgh.
The competitors were challenged to complete 20,000 reps in their team across five stations.

His dad, Graeme, started attending the gym in a bid to improve his health and state of mind.
Gym owner Andy Armour said: “It was a really good day. If we include gift aid we're hitting about £4,000.”
