A Simply Gym spokesman said: “There will be 37 riders taking part and one of them is aged 77 years-old.”

The gym, which used to be Fitness First, has held previous spinathons and raised hundreds of pounds for different worthy causes.

Those taking part in the gym’s latest fundraiser will be dressing up as pirates and gladiators.
