London 2012 gold medal rower Katherine Grainger was on-hand to test out equipment at the newly-refurbished Cameron House Club overlooking Scotland’s Loch Lomond.

The gym, which is a key part of the five-star Cameron House Hotel, became the first in Scotland to offer Technogym’s ARTis Connectivity equipment as part of the £250,000 overhaul.

“I’m really impressed with this new equipment and I really can’t think of anywhere better to launch the new range than Cameron House,” said Glaswegian Grainger.

“The Technogym team kitted out our gym at the Olympic Village and I know how passionate they are about fitness so the members here are really going to enjoy it.”

The resort also features an 18-hole Championship golf course, a luxury resort spa with rooftop infinity pool and a range of outdoor activities from champagne cruises on Loch Lomond to team building and adventurous training pursuits.

Andy Roger, operations director of Cameron House said: “It’s wonderful to have Katherine Grainger here to put our brand new equipment to the test. What better way to inspire us on our fitness goals than this visit from an Olympic gold medallist.”

Scotland is proving a fruitful hunting ground for Technogym of late, with the Italian equipment provider recently winning the contract to supply the Athletes' Village for the upcoming Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
