Now is The Perfect Time To Start Your Journey!



Want to get involved at Connect? Well now is the time!

From March we are changing the way induct new members into the Connect community with a One-Month Trial Membership for people to purchase. After a FREE taster session with us of course! (For all the details and a darn good read see our website here)

This will allow you a whole month of trialling out our various classes to see if CrossFit is for you. There will be specific Beginners classes on a Saturday at 11am and a Monday at 7pm which we encourage all new starters to attend whilst we go over the main foundational lifts and movements. However, if during this time we feel you are accomplished enough to join the main classes we will be happy for you to do so.

Lifting time at the box!

The Beginners classes will run on a four class rolling schedule so that anyone who now wants to join can do so at any point in time and no longer have to wait until another Intro Course rolls around. We hope this appeals to anyone thinking about joining us and if you have now is a great time to get in touch.

The Beginner classes are also suitable for existing members who feel they still need to work on their technique so feel free to book in if this is you. If anyone has any questions we'd be only too happy to answer them.

Post-WOD stretch out.

Trial Month Membership         - £80

* Access to all 8 Beginners classes with emphasis on one-to-one coaching of our main foundational lifts and scaled versions of some standard CrossFit workouts.

* At coaches discretion you will have access to the rest of the 35 classes on the timetable. (We just need to be sure you have good movement or previous knowledge of lifting weights)

For more info, a friendly chat or to book yourself in for a FREE taster session don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Its never been easier for you to give CrossFit a bash!

Olympic Lifting Workshops

A great speciality workshop was held at the box this past weekend and an eager crew of members and non-members alike really got to grips with the technical aspects of the Clean & Jerk and the Snatch. When you break these lifts down its amazing how much detail you can learn about every stage of the lift. 

Fantastically coached by Coach Holly and British Weightlifting tutor Anna Hopcroft the four hours flew by in a blur of pulling, jerking, squatting and video analysis to really pinpoint what was going wrong and more importantly what was going right!

Our next Olympic lifting course is being held on Sat 2nd March, 12.30-4.30pm. Get in touch or see the post here for more details.

In the meantime I'll leave you with a little taster of what everyone got up to last Saturday...........
