Olympic lifting goes ahead tonight with some of the finest instruction on the Olympic lifts available in the UK from Ray Cavanagh, Haris Ansari and Colette Will: 2 UK number ones for their categories and a former Commonwealth Games athlete: if you have not already attended, why not? Jonny Kilpatrick of Physio Effect will be running a mobility WOD instead of the 19.15 class on Thursday night and will cover a range of mobilisation techniques that will enable you to maximise range of motion, minimise joint impingement and reduce the negative effects of repeated training sessions. The girls WOD will go ahead this saturday conditioning our female athletes for competition and strength and covering skills not routinely encountered by the fairer sex. Sunday sees the return of the Parkour team WOD: functional fitness set in a dynamic team-based format. The gym will be running open qualifiers for the second team for the Divided We Fall competition in Swansea on the 21st of October. It will be an all day event costing £6 per competitor with all funds going toward supporting our teams at the comp.

It's not often that coaches of this level of experience are able to find the time to visit boxes so we are eternally grateful for their help. Olympic lifting with Ray, Haris and Colette will go ahead tomorrow night. Those who made the weekend seminar should come and demonstrate your new found mastery and those who couldn't make it should come and get dialled in. It is literally too good an opportunity to miss.
