It’s taken me this long to figure out the cryptic way in which Nicole has written next weeks workouts sorry. She has her own special way of communicating! It makes her different and therefore endearing!
Some further little know facts are that Nicole physically cannot do anything following any intake of fat and, she would potentially die if she went longer than 24hrs without eating eggy bread!

This Monday two years ago was entirely different, the first one of zoom classes! It is bonkers that that was two whole years ago. Never again please!
The weekend was an absolute belter, and that can come again!
We had some awesome back and forth on the programming group this past week, all in aid of providing the very best opportunity for you guys to be stood outside, by the hedge, attempting to find your keys!
Speaking of lockdowns, we did tomorrow’s workout (ish) as an outdoors WoD when we had to be outside, luckily on a sunny day. Well now that we are inside we will do the inside version…sorry!

The weekend is over and Mikey B is angry about it. He said something about kicking your arses with the programming this week, I mean I said that was a little harsh Mikey, but he wouldn’t listen!
The open is now over, and the timing is perfect… for you all to get yourselves to the specialty classes so that you are able to work on that muscle up technique for next year!
Right then, lets start off with a bang, one hell of a bang…
