The exhausting workouts included running, pull ups, press ups, squats, lifting and burpees.

Daniel said: "So far we have raised over £1200 from the Saturday event for our chosen cancer charity, Macmillan Cancer Support.

"We are very pleased. We had people dropping in throughout the whole day joining in and hanging out. We raised an additional £120 on the day selling cakes and refreshments."

The group will continue to fundraise in the lead up to Battle Cancer.
