This coming Sunday, it’ll be exactly 1 year and 1 day since the first confirmed cases of Covid-19 hit the UK... 2020 was a leap year so that’s 367 days!!

With our best fighting spirit, our #WeeklyChallenge is to do 367 reps of something 🤘 you have until Sunday so spread it across days if you want to (eg 53 reps/day).

I’ve just done 367 sit-ups, broken into 12 sets with little breaks... you can see the speed difference of my last set 👆 versus my first set 👈😂

I’m gonna do unbroken Air Squats on Wednesday.

A nice little indoor challenge this one, but keep up all that great momentum so far with the trail runs, hill sprints and weighted hikes. No Gym, No Excuse!

Remember, we’ve all got each other’s backs so if your struggling to train, reach out to anyone else and let’s meet up and get it done as a pair 💪 We stay fit, we stay strong, we stay healthy and we stay safe.

Have a BIG WEEK team 👊💚

We don’t stop! The indoor coffee bar has made way for more training space so we can all stay distanced when we return... but we all love our caffeine so wouldn’t leave you without quality organic fuel.... might take some imagination, but work starts this week on converting our container to our new outdoor coffee bar ☕️👊 can’t wait for a cheeky espresso in the sun whilst waiting for class to start.

Yesterday I went through a chalkboard with someone to identify where we were, where we wanted to be, and how to get there. I’ll write it up properly at some stage for a post, but essentially we identified ‘the dream’.

Most big dreams take a while (3+yrs?) to achieve, so a day to day focus on the big dream alone might not help us execute.

So drill into that big dream and let’s see what we need to achieve over the next month to make progress...

Now help ourselves even more by identifying what we can do today to support that monthly goal.

Now we have something we are very much in control of and can execute today: Our Step One, Make It Happen 👊

Well we’ve had Blue Monday where we’re all meant to be miserable, so we may as well make some other crap up and make it a bit more uplifting! 😄 ⁣
⁣
It’s meant to be wet as anything today... so whilst everything’s shut let’s get out in it and have some fun!! ⁣
⁣
Don your backpack and go for our weekly challenge of a weighted hike (tag us for a reshare). Failing that just grab your gore-tex and get out walking in it. Maybe a cleansing run in the rain is your thing. Or if you implement the zerofcksgvn mentality just get out and jump in some puddles 😂 ⁣
⁣
Of course, if you’ve got the kit and indoor training space then you can crack on with your CrossFit training like the beast you are... ⁣
⁣
Just don’t let a bit of the wet stuff dampen your mood and stop you from getting your daily fitness in. Every day is a gift, let’s get moving Team 👊💦💪

Hopefully, not too much longer before we can get in and pick these up again 🤞

January is largely behind us and we’re doing everything we can to make sure we’re ready to go for you when gyms are allowed to reopen ~ whether that’s in February or March.

We appreciate your support ✊ Meanwhile let us keep supporting you by smashing the weekly challenges and letting us know how we can help you stick to your goals 👊

BLUE MONDAY might be clickbait but doesn’t have much scientific validity (supposedly it’s the most depressing day of the year)... However, anecdotally, a lot of us seem to find times hard in the dark winter months and I personally am aware of a distinct lift in mood when spring comes.

There is some evidence to suggest that Vitamin D supplementation might help us through winter.

Personally, I believe isolation is one of the major issues too... we tend to lock ourselves away in our safe, warm houses during the dark, cold hours - this leads to physical inactivity, separation from nature and a disconnect from other people...

So maybe pop some Vit. D, invest in a head-torch and get our for a walk in the evening, make sure you keep your training up and make the effort to link up with like-minded people who also want to feel good through winter.

As a box we’re here to inspire and support you and at every opportunity we’ll be by your side doing it with you 👊

We don’t reject the seasons, we work with them.

Well, as the New Year came it wasn’t quite the 1 year birthday celebration we had in mind... and as a new
Box it wasn’t quite the first year we had planned either.... but who gives a shit!! 😃

We adapt and overcome...

In spite of Covid we have created a strong community that’s stuck together and supported each other to push harder, be more consistent and enjoy their training more than ever before.

Congrats to you guys who’ve topped the leaderboards and to everyone else for your hard work and commitment this year... we’ve got a quality community and there’s only one way we’re going 🛗 We are Stronger Together.

Decide what you want... and go after it.

I’ve had the privilege of staring death in the face over 36 hours and getting away alive.

In that time I learned two things:
1) I was very content with the person I was. I knew my values and was largely living by them and it gave me immense peace to feel this.
2) My only unrest was the feeling of life having passed me by. Too many things I’d wanted from life I hadn’t done - fear of failure and fear of others opinions were just some of the reasons I wasn’t truly ‘living’.

In the interest of sharing experiences and learning from one another, I encourage self-exploration to determine if living by values is something you might get contentment from, and if so, identify them and be true to them.

I would also urge you to ACT NOW to achieve the life you want. As a fitness family, let’s look at the huge opportunity we have through lockdown to start achieving our Fitness and Heath goals...

Decide what you want and go after it.

Want to run every day? Start now. Alter your weight? Stick to your calories from now. Improve movement? Start that GoWOD now... don’t be the person who looks back at their life full of regret at the things they wanted to do but didn’t.

LIVE LIFE NOW 👊

You got this, and we got you 💚
