Gym Plus Celebrates Women’s Sporting Excellence as Proud Sponsor of ‘Athlete of the Year’
At Gym Plus, we believe in the power of sport—not only for physical fitness but also for building confidence, resilience, and a sense of community. That’s why we’re delighted to announce our sponsorship of the ‘Athlete of the Year’ award as part of the Her Sport Awards 2024, the biggest celebration of women’s sport in Ireland.
Championing Women’s Sport
The Her Sport Awards, presented by Lidl, will take place on 25th January 2025 at UCD Astra Hall, shining a spotlight on some of the most inspiring female athletes, teams, and volunteers in Irish sport. With nominees like Katie Taylor, Kellie Harrington, and Rhasidat Adeleke, the event celebrates not just athletic achievement but the dedication and spirit that inspire women and girls to pursue an active lifestyle.
As a fitness community dedicated to empowering women, GymPlus is proud to support this landmark event. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the athletes who are breaking barriers and to encourage women of all ages to believe in their own abilities.
Promoting Health, Fitness, and Well-Being
Our mission at GymPlus extends beyond providing state-of-the-art equipment and modern facilities. We’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can flourish, regardless of their starting point. By sponsoring the ‘Athlete of the Year’ award, we reinforce our commitment to supporting women’s health, fitness, and overall well-being.
From seasoned athletes to beginners, we understand that the positive impact of exercise extends far beyond the gym. Regular physical activity improves mental health, boosts self-confidence, and fosters community connections. By investing in women’s sport at a national level, we hope to inspire more women and girls to embrace fitness and all its benefits.
A Landmark Celebration
The Her Sport Awards, supported by Sport Ireland and broadcast on TG4, is a key milestone in amplifying the visibility of women in sport. As Sport Ireland’s Clíona O’Leary said, “We’re delighted to support the Her Sport Awards and the work that Her Sport do in increasing the visibility of female athletes.” This event aligns perfectly with Gymplus’ vision to create a brighter, healthier future for women and girls across Ireland.
Building a Legacy Together
The 2024 awards come after a historic year for women’s sport, with record-breaking performances on the international stage and growing conversations about equality. With partners like GymPlus and Lidl, the Her Sport Awards continue to honour these milestones and inspire the next generation of female sporting heroes.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate this year’s outstanding athletes, we look forward to many more years of partnership, growth, and achievement. GymPlus is proud to play a part in a future where women’s sport isn’t just celebrated one night a year but championed every single day.
Join us at GymPlus as we continue working together to create a brighter, healthier future for women and girls across Ireland.
