SCHEDULE CHANGE

You may have noticed that it's getting busy at the box at certain hours. This is a GOOD thing! But we also notice that we need to add some hours to give you all a chance to sign up for the WOD's. Plus we are adding some new gear along the way.

From the first of June 2016 onwards we will move Mobility to 12 o'clock and make room for 1 EXTRA WOD from 11 to 12am on Sunday's.

Also the last WOD on Thursday's from the first of June 2016 onwards will change into a POWERLIFTING specialty class. If you are a regular at the Weightlifting class you may know that we program Clean & Jerks, Snatch, Bench & Shoulders & Core, Deadlift and Back Squats. This will change to just Clean & Jerks and Snatches. And the Powerlifting class will contain Bench & Shoulders & Core, Deadlift and Back Squats. This way we create an extra hour a week to attack your weaknesses!

If you have any comments please let us know!

Aren't we all happy March is over! 2 min AMRAP perfect push ups wasn't easy. But for some it seemed easier than for others...
