SHOPPERS picked up health advice and fitness tips from a pair of bodybuilders at a city centre health store.

Former Mr England 2007 Lukas Gabris and his colleague Jack Wynngaardt visited Riley’s Health Supplements in the Forum Shopping Centre last Saturday for a meeting with shop owner Sandra Riley to promote the USN protein supplement favoured by many bodybuilders.

Slovakian-born Gabris, who has won a place in every competition he has entered since 2008, spent time talking to customers about the health regime that has made them two of the country’s most successful bodybuilders, and offered free advice on supplements and exercise.

“Although Lukas was wearing a T-shirt and slacks he was still a crowd-puller, with scores of fans turning up to get a glimpse,” said Sandra.

“The boys were beefcake with brains and my customers really appreciated their advice.”

Forum centre manager Lawrence Allen said: “The visit by these two chaps simply added to the Forum experience for many shoppers today.

“Our shoppers were delighted to see them.”
