Fyffes' commitment to promoting exercise, fitness, and healthy eating among young people has earned it a 2025 Gold Star Award at the APMC Awards in Dublin for its 'Ireland’s Fittest School' initiative. Partnering with TITAN Experience, the program features exercise routines led by Olympian David Gillick and trainer Sharon Flanagan. After a 10-week challenge, top schools from each province compete in regional events, culminating in a grand final to determine the overall champion.
The on-going work being done by Fyffes to promote the importance of exercise, fitness and healthy eating amongst young people continues to gain recognition.
The Irish fruit importer was honoured with a 2025 ‘Gold Star Award’ at the annual APMC Awards gala ceremony held in Dublin recently in acknowledgment of its ‘Ireland’s Fittest School’ initiative.
Developed in conjunction with TITAN Experience, a central feature of the programme is a series of exercise routines – recorded by one of Ireland’s best-known Olympians, sprinter David Gillick, alongside Irish fitness trainer, Sharon Flanagan – which competing schools can adopt as part of their PE curriculum and against which performance will be measured and tracked online.
Following a 10-week programme, the top four schools from each province compete head-to-head across four live regional qualifier events with the top school from Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster progressing to the grand final.
