THE gym rats at MRC Fitness in Dalry don’t do things by halves.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the independently-owned health and fitness studio, 12 committed work-out junkies did a 30 hour cardio challenge to raise funds for Erskine Hospital for Scotland’s war veterans.

The team huffed, puffed and sweated their way to a massive £11,000 donated by friends and family and other MRC members.
