Speedflex hosts networking golf day at Close House
23 May 2024
/ Speedflex
With its sights set on making this an annual affair, the event promised a blend of leisure, networking and healthy competition amid the stunning backdrop of the Close House grounds.
Speedflex chair sir Graham Wylie’s ownership of Close House ensured access to one of the finest courses in the country. This not only provided an unparalleled setting for entertaining clients and prospects but also aligned with Speedflex’s ethos of promoting an active lifestyle for all abilities.
The guest list included a mix of current customers and prospects spanning various sectors of the industry.
Guests engaged in two competitions: Individual Stableford and Team Stableford (best two from four).
Prizes saw the individual winner receiving a £100 Close House gift voucher, while the triumphant team would claim the prestigious Speedflex Trophy, alongside £50 Close House vouchers for each member.
Additional prizes were up for grabs to those who showcased their skills with the longest drive and nearest the pin, earning coveted Close House polo shirts.
Notably, the day's activities included a pre-round warm-up led by master trainer Matt Bolam, utilising the Speedflex Blade. This not only primed participants for the game ahead but also offered insight into Speedflex's unique fitness approach, and the revolutionary ‘HIIT Without the Hurt’ training methodology.
Beyond just golfing and networking, Speedflex harboured strategic objectives for the day. By fostering closer relationships with existing partners and prospects, the event aimed to deepen understanding of Speedflex’s offerings and its visionary founders. It also served as a platform for bringing in new business opportunities, leveraging the power of shared experiences and mutual interests.
With plans already underway for future editions, this event promises to remain a highlight on the calendar for years to come.

Testimonial
"Jubilee Hall Trust has been pleasantly surprised with the Speedflex units.
Not because of how good they are, the ease of use and the smoothness of movement - we knew they were good! We were surprised by how many of our senior customers used it, intuitively and without prompt.
Many operators have machines which are challenging for certain demographics of our community to use, least of all our seniors! But Speedflex is different. I have seen customers approach it for the first time, play on the screen and easily start a workout, and better still, they say their joints didn't hurt either.
Whilst many operators would put two units next to a rig, we have one in an open space and another in a quiet space; more private, less on show. It’s this unit the majority of individual users go to. Yes, the studio classes are better for having one but don’t rule out having one as part of your special populations area too.
I was surprised how well Speedflex sits in both camps. HIIT Without the HURT, perfect for classes and studio but equally as good for seniors to do those all-important compound movements; Osteoporosis fighting, strength training. Riskfree."
