SIBU: An aerobics session by Sapphira Fitness Studio will serve as the curtain raiser for The Borneo Post Run on Aug 30 at the Sibu Town Square.

Instructor Ejay Kennedy, 36, said the studio is looking forward to having fun with the runners.

BP Run is the second biggest event weve ever participated in Sibu. Weve been invited to many big events, mostly in Kuching, but seldom in Sibu. So, I think it is going to be exciting, he said of the session scheduled to begin at 7am.

Ejay said the last big event they participated in here was the Sibu Kidney Foundations (SKF) Healthy Living event at Sibu Gateway last year.

For the upcoming session, we will do a slow and moderate workout. Just a 15-minute warm-up before the run, he said, adding the run is a good event to promote fitness and health, while aerobics is a good way to de-stress, promote health and fitness.

One of the amazing things that fitness can do to you is that it doesnt just make you feel younger, but look younger, he said.

The studio was established in 1998 and currently has six certified instructors.

It will celebrate its 16th anniversary at Kingwood Hotel on Aug 30.

It is not easy to reach 16 years. There are many fitness studios and this industry is growing. We are glad that we are able not just to sustain, but to be part of the team to promote fitness and to give services to those who love fitness, he said.

In 2008, the studio won the state level fitness carnival to represent Sarawak at the National Fitness Carnival, where they won in the aerobics category and closed aerobics category.
