An Olympic athlete has cut the ribbon to open a day of celebration at a health club.

Dwain Chambers has helped launch a day of special events at Nuffield Health in New Road, Chingford, with their oldest member John Brown who is 90.

The fitness centre is offering taster sessions, cooking demonstrations and a one-day free trial to all those in attendance.

The celebration was prompted by the recent modifications to the premises which has seen the addition of a studio, strength training area and cafe.

The gym will also be hosting a Christmas party this evening at 8pm.
