The Sussexes toured the space’s swimming pool, rock climbing wall gym, as well as the rehabilitation facilities and conversed with the athletes about their exercise regimens, their favourite workouts, and how they stay strong.
“It’s amazing to see how many people can come together to form one team,” Harry said to an Invictus team member while touring the centre’s cardiovascular room.
