BRADFORD Bulls' players Adam O’Brien, Steve Crossley, and Epalhame Lauaki joined fitness fanatics at the launch of the new £1million Xercise4Less gym in Listerhills.

The Championship trio officially declared the Preston Street venue open for business, also helping two lucky members win tickets to see the Bulls in their home game against Widnes on Sunday, September 6.

The Bulls' stars were joined by bodybuilder Jonpaul Vital, who put members through their paces with a series of muscle-burning body weight challenges, from push-ups and pull-ups, to the dreaded static hold.

Henry Bradley, manager of the new club, said: "This is an extremely exciting time for Xercise4Less, and we can’t wait to offer the people of Bradford the budget gym they have been waiting for.

"We are proud to be one of the best value gyms in the area, and the team and I are really looking forward to meeting our new members."

The Bradford Xercise4Less club is the group’s sixth fitness centre to be established in West Yorkshire, bringing its total investment to more than £6million.
