“With gyms being closed and lots of our clients working on the front line we wanted to do something to help support them,” explained 28-year-old Amy. “So we are cycling on indoor exercise bikes 19 miles a day for 19 days in a row.” They have already raised over £600 and are hoping to receive more donations in the coming days.

Amy said: “The fun part about the gruelling schedule is that anybody can join us from the comfort of their home via a ‘Zoom’ live feed.”
