Over the last two weeks we have been locked away in Unit 6 converting it into a CrossFit haven. What started out as a tired old unit with badly fitted offices is now a playground of functional fitness!
With the help of the Connect team behind us (its amazing what your members can do when asked and who they know to help out!) we have stormed through the refit with the aim of starting new classes when the kids go back to school in September. We have been eager to open our memberships up again after being forced to cap them in July and we have had no shortage of enquiries in the meantime. With the help of the CrossFit Games and numerous articles in magazines (including the EasyJet in-flight mag!) peoples interest is really beginning to peak in regards to 'The Sport of Fitness'.
So with the opening only a few short weeks away and our waiting list already able to fill our Intro Courses three times over, now is the time to get in touch and get your name down on the list to join!
To give you a little sneak preview of what we have been up to check out some of the photos below.....

| Errmmm.....are you sure?? |
 |
| The walls demolished |
 |
| Now the construction can begin |
Once the demolition and building was complete we ordered the mats in, cut them to shape, painted the walls, put the pull up rig in and finished our office. Its all starting to look pretty sweet. The new equipment is starting to arrive too. 300kg of Olympic bumper plates and bars came first and loads more toys will be on their way soon.

| Mmmm...new toys! |

What this means for all you guys and girls that want to come down and train with us is that we will soon be opening up our memberships again.
Our first taster sessions will be held on Saturday 31st August at 9am, 10am, 11am and 12pm. We only take 10 people on our taster sessions to ensure a high level of coaching so these places will go fast. If you think you would like to come down and have a free session with us then get in touch. We will of course be giving priority to those people who got in touch with us first but drop us an email and we will tell you when the next sessions will be if our first classes are already filled up.
Our group Intro Courses will be starting from Monday 9th September and we will be having three Intro Groups starting at the same time to accommodate everyone. Again, you may still be able to get on these but priority will go to those on our waiting list first. Hurry up and get your email too us and we'll add you to the list.
Its going to be one hell of a busy time for us at Connect in September but we cant wait to get going and get a whole load of new people training with us at the box. Or should I now say box-es! :)
For those who have been waiting, thanks for your patience whilst we have been getting this sorted! For our existing members we hope you enjoy your new playground.
We look forward to meeting all the new faces soon.
