GTT/Pulse yesterday launched its Mashramani Fitness Camp at the Everest Cricket Club ground, Eve Leary as part of the company’s aim to have persons get fit, toned and ready to take the road by storm on Mash Day, February 23rd next.
GTT/Pulse became the corporate forerunner of Mash 2018 with the November 2017 launch of its Costume Band under the theme, ‘Amazon Gems’. The band is part of the company’s contribution to the cultural celebration of the nation’s 48th Republic Anniversary celebration.
Minister of Social Cohesion with responsibility for Culture Dr. George Norton, a health professional who was on hand to officially declare open the Fitness Camp noted that he is a passionate promoter of exercise and diet as a means of achieving health and wellness in society.
Mashramani 2018 is being celebrated under the theme, “Let’s cooperate and celebrate Republic 48”. Minister Norton, who took some time to perform some fitness moves with the more than 100 early bird participants led by Titan English of Fusion Fitness and Andrew Bowman, noted his ministry’s pleasure at being a part of this initiative whilst complimenting GTT for its commitment to Guyana’s development in the area of the promotion and development of cultural heritage.
The subject minister went on to inform that Mash 2018 would be serving up a mouth watering list of activities including calypso, soca and chutney competitions, steel band concerts and competitions as well as masquerade among others which will conclude with the costume and float parade, “A true showcase of Guyanese creativity, genius and unity.”
“Once again I would like to thank GTT for the confidence they have placed in the festival and the leadership they have shown as a corporate citizen. To mount a programme of physical fitness in preparation for the celebratory aspect of our Republican Anniversary 2018 is to demonstrate care for the healthy lifestyle necessary for Mashramani and beyond,” Dr. Norton posited.
Also speaking at yesterday launch were Mr. Orson Ferguson, GTT Director of Strategic Planning and Mr. Robbie Singh, CEO of Pulse Entertainment.
The Fitness Camp will be held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from January 8 to February 21, from 16:30 to 18:30hrs, two one hour sessions. Persons will have the option to experience training in Zumba, high intensity, cardio aerobics and isometrics.
Meanwhile, the GTT/Pulse band has to date been the only concrete indication of participation from Corporate Guyana in the National Costume and Float Parade to be held on February 23.
