New Year, New Timetable

So 2013 is upon us.........................

Happy New Year to you all first of all. I hope you all had a great time over the festive season and are thinking about getting back into your normal training routines. I think Monday 7th January sounds like a good time to me and will give me a chance to finish off all the chocolates and mince pies that are still in my house!

We have had a think over Christmas and have decided that the class timetable needed a bit of a shake up to keep things fresh and to allow for our ever expanding membership base. The point of Connect is to keep a great level of coaching for you all during every class so rather than just cram more people into each class we have added another nine classes to the timetable to allow class numbers to be kept down yet still allow all of you to get your training in for the week.

We have also added some different types of classes too to give you even more choice of what you can do at Connect and to keep us coaches on our toes by continuing to do training courses that will then provide you with the most up to date methods of coaching.

* We have added in a Connect Barbell Club session twice a week that will see us just focus on the strength side of things with the main weights exercises and different variations of reps, sets and methods to get your base level of strength going through the roof. Wendler, Westside barbell, Outlaw and others will be implemented into this lifting only session.

* We will also be putting on a CrossFit Endurance class as we know we have had a lot of interest from members about this who are training for half and full marathons and want a little more sprint work/cardio slant to their sessions. This may also interest and attract a few new members as we know how many runners there are in Brighton. (This will be on as soon as Coach Dave has completed the Endurance certification course.)

* To allow us to fit all these extra classes in we have had to shift the whole timetable forwards by half an hour. Meaning our first class is now 5.30pm and our last class 8.30pm. It is impossible to completely please everyone but i hope these times work for most of you.

* We have also made every weekday morning the same now with 9.30am and lunchtime classes everyday at your request. We have changed the time of the lunchtime classes from 1pm to the earlier time of 12pm so please take note of that.

* We are in the process of changing our Kids classes a little but these haven't been confirmed yet. We will keep you posted on news of this asap.

* And lastly our Saturdays have changed. We have added in a 9am class due to popular demand, kept the 10.30am and 11.30am classes but also added in an Open Gym from 12.30-2.30 to allow for that Saturday lay in but also to give you time to catch up on your training!

If you just want a quick look to see what's changed then take a look at the new timetable below.

The timetable can also be seen on our website here where a downloadable PDF version can also be had.

These changes will be implemented from Monday 7th January and I have now changed over the MindBody booking system. Some of you had already booked classes for the following few weeks so if you have you may need to go and re-book them with the new times. Check your schedule on your account page to see and ensure you are booked onto the ones you want.

So thats about it! Our first Intro Course of the month starts on Monday 7th January if you want to get down and join Connect. Just drop us a line or call if you do.

See you all soon...............
