Not only that they have continued to be active by organising their own activities once the courses have come to an end."
"What better motivation is there to lose weight and get fitter than spending 13 weeks at Tynecastle - it's also a great opportunity for our staff to meet real football supporters and get them further involved with the club outside match-days."
