The Esher players and staff had a week’s holiday last week, but while they were away Head of Strength and Conditioning, Simon Elkinson was busy overseeing the design and delivery of a brand new gym. It was the first phase of a new 3 year sponsor deal with fitness equipment specialists EXF.
”Charles Burch at EXF had been just brilliant in helping me pick the correct sports specific equipment and helping in the design and layout to maximise the space we have at Esher. The quality and workmanship of the equipment is exceptional and a massive thank you must go out to Rick and Rich for their hard work into the early hours last week!!!”
This new development at the club is another sign of intent by Esher Rugby that they are not in The Championship just to make up the numbers:
”The players deserve this facility, we are a championship club now and we intend to act like one and lead from the front on and off the field”
A big thank you must go out to Nic Losardo who was instrumental in negotiations for the sponsorship deal with EXF.
On his return from a family break in Canada, Esher Director of Rugby Mike Schmid was delighted by the gym which was kept a surprise: ”This is awesome!!”
