1escape gym in Dublin is hoping to break the world record for largest exercise ball class in the world, but they need your help in doing it.

The free 30 min exercise class will be taking place in Smithfield Market Square next Thursday (15th September) at 6.00pm. In order to break the record they need to get over 500 participants, with the class being open to everyone over the age of 16.

If you are interested in taking part, you can register for the event here. All participants will receive a free exercise ball, which they can take home.

The event will be raising funds for MS Ireland, which provides support for Multiple Sclerosis patients. It also takes place on the eve of National Fitness Day which aims to celebrate the role that physical activity plays in keeping healthy.

Dig out your runners and head along.
