Good Evening Team!
That’s our first week in the books with the latest guidance and regulations, which we are hoping are short term! Thank you once again for your incredible patience with us as we all found our feet this week with the new arrangements. For anyone that didn’t manage this week, next week will be set up the same way. Every WOD is released on Wodify and also printed out and set in each station for you to choose from. All workouts will have ‘RX’ (prescribed weight/reps), a scaled option (lower volume/weight) and a warmup. There will also be suggestions below in which you can add on to your workouts if you finish early and also mobility work. The rig area will have both a gymnastic and strength session to choose from. We will have at least one trainer on the floor and often two, they are there to help, cue, correct and answer absolutely any questions you may have.
It’s not ideal, we know. It is, however, keeping our doors open so we can keep you, our incredible members, working towards getting stronger and staying healthy!
NEW AIR PURIFICATION UNIT
We have purchased and installed an air purification unit in the gym. The unit uses a combination of Hepa filtration, UV light, plasma and ozone to kill viruses and bacteria.
Throughout the day, air from the gym is drawn into the unit, filtered and sterilised; by night, the unit pumps ozone and hydrogen peroxide into the archway to sterilise surfaces and equipment.
In the context of the pandemic we are willing to do whatever it takes to ensure your safety and the addition of this unit is a further backstop against the coronavirus. We will do all that we can to continue to provide you with a safe environment to continue your training.

HEALTHY RECIPE
- SMOKY CORIANDER BEEF FAJITAS
2 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
2 large onions, thickly sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
300g British beef rump steak, sliced into strips
Small bunch fresh coriander, stalks roughly chopped and leaves picked
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground coriander
100g chargrilled red peppers from a jar, cut into 1cm strips
4 large tortillas, warmed
240g mini pack Tex-Mex dips (such as soured cream, guacamole and tomato salsa)
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat. Fry the onions for 3-4 minutes, then add the garlic and steak and fry for a minute more.
Add the coriander stalks and spices, then stir-fry for another minute. Add the chargrilled peppers and cook until just warmed through, then scatter with the coriander leaves.
Serve the steak with the warm tortillas and dips, along with jalapeños and lime wedges, if you like, so everyone can build their own fajita.
Enjoy your weekend!
