And so, just like that, nearly a week of outdoor training is over. And, to me, it has been a roaring success. 

So much so, that it has come time to ask you lot to please return your equipment. We want to begin to add more to the programming, and now that we have a good idea of how much capability we have with the classes we would love to implement some further movements/workouts. 

Please return all equipment at your earliest convenience, by following the instructions below:

  • Pile all equipment in the middle of the gym - lots of you have been back and know where this is

  • Write your name and what you have returned on the big whiteboard

  • We will check it all off and hopefully by next week not have to make you run and do burpees

Keep your eyes peeled on the blog and our social media platforms for additional classes.

Tickets, Xmas party…you know what to do!

Officially now December, we are a short few weeks from to greatest party on the planet. Few folk have ever experienced such a thing, maybe after last year you are thinking that you’d rather not. I understand, it’s a lot of stimulus for a single person to handle.
If you are new to it, get excited. You may never be the same again.

Just a note. I have written a lot today, and so if none of the above makes sense then sorry, not sorry!

On tomorrow, a 20RM is with a minimal rest period at the top of the rep, and it really, really hurts…

B. Core stability accessory
3 sets:
1. 1 min superman hold
