As a leader in delivering amateur and high performance sport to Calgarians, Repsol Sport Centre is proud to honour its athletes with a total of $16,250 this year, funded by The John Currie Amateur Sport Legacy Fund. Under careful deliberation and criteria examination, the LPSS Bursary Committee designated 18 amateur athletes to be recognized and financially rewarded for outstanding athletic achievement in support of their future training and competition goals. The honourees are a mix of Olympic hopefuls, veterans and up and comers, representing 8 sports. There are 5 men and 13 women ranging from 13 to 37 years. Further, 83% of the recipients train 19 hours a week or more, and proudly call Repsol Sport Centre their home.
We kicked off 2020 with a bang – with no knowledge of COVID-19 on the horizon. It was a great start to the New Year unveiling our a new competitive TechnoSPIN Studio, and expanding our Personal Training Studio to make room for the new and innovative TechnoGym® equipment. And - the icing on the cake was revitalizing our brand voice with the launch of our new tagline – Forever Active. Forever Strong.
TAGLINE LAUNCH
With so many types of members and customers, with inherently so many different fitness personalities – we knew our tagline had to be ultra flexible with the ability to share their values and commonalities, yet also able to naturally connect with their unique reason for keeping fit.
Our community of members, athletes, and guests show tremendous strength in their pursuit of a lifelong commitment to being active. This tagline was created to celebrate their pursuit of being courageous with their mind and body – forever swimming, forever running, forever weight lifting, or whatever activity moves them. The heart of the tagline is meant to inspire our community to discover or even rediscover their forever after so they can keep getting stronger, and living better.
