What would it mean to break a Guinness World Record? To many it would be the beginning of a very successful life in their respective fields. To others it would be another award to a mantel full of trophies and certificates. It is evident that at some point or another each human desires to break a record and be remembered for a particular feat in their lifetime. Despite every person wishing to break a record, however, many people find it extremely difficult to commit themselves to such a purpose. So what of those who desire to break a record without having to endure years of sustained training? There is a simple solution: participate in the world’s largest ever Pilates class.
On March 10th, 2013 ACS Cobham will be hosting the world record attempt for the world’s largest ever Pilates class in support of Comic Relief and Red Nose Day. This event will take place between 3:00-5:00 p.m. on ACS Cobham’s sports campus, and it will house over 800 participants collectively seeking to break the record. Reports so far claim that there are enough registered participants to break the British Record, but the addition of nearly 400 participants will be necessary to break the Guinness World Record. Those registering do not need to have any prior experience in Pilates, however, people with disabilities should consult their local G.P. This is an amazing opportunity for people of all backgrounds and ages to come together and collectively break a Guinness World Record. Every participating member, should the record be broken, will receive a medal and the opportunity to win a private Go-karting party for 15 people.
As this day is in support of Comic Relief and Red Nose Day, various other events will take place during the day. Such events, include a raffle and an auction. All proceeds will go to charity. Moreover, British singer, model, and media personality Louise Redknapp will be at the event to present to record attempt to the British media alongside other news broadcasters. If anyone is entertaining the idea of getting on the front page of a British newspaper, this is not an opportunity to be missed.
If one is not convinced by the mere possibility of a Guinness World Record medal, remember, it is for Charity!
