Promo Video - Who are CrossFit Connect?

Okay, so i have just finished making CrossFit Connects first video! :)

I really wanted to capture the essence of CrossFit and explain what it is we do for those uninitiated but also give a good taste of what our box is like specifically and what you can expect when you come down and join in.We have seen some amazing changes over the last few months in our members and i truly believe that you dont get looked after as well in any other gym as you do in a CrossFit box. We are there to not only coach our guys and gals in technique, form and function every session but also inform and guide you on the nutrition side of things too which is vitally important.

I know i am biased when i say this but if you want to truly see a change in your health and become stronger, leaner and faster then come down to see us, check out a class or two and i believe you wont ever want to go anywhere else. It becomes addictive to train in such a friendly and encouraging community. You will actually want to train rather than it being a chore that you have to do.


Check out our website for more information or drop us an email. Come and see why there are now over 60 CrossFit boxes in the UK with the number of CrossFitters worldwide growing daily. Reebok have recently signed on for a partnership deal as they can see the potential CrossFit has for truly making a difference within the industry. This isnt a fad. This stuff works.

Enjoy the short film and get in touch for a free taster session. Join the revolution!

Social Event - Sat 16th July

We welcome you all to the social gathering at the box on Saturday 16th July from 2pm!

We are having this as an end to the fantastic first 30-day Paleo challenge that we ran from the beginning of June. All of our members did so well and the results, which will be posted soon, speak for themselves. Everyone has come out of it with a whole new change of mindset with regards to eating habits and can really see the benefits that Paleo eating brings.

So on Saturday we will be having a BBQ and then prize giving for the winners, you're all winners really! ;), and then heading out for the evening somewhere if you would like to stay around.

Please feel free to bring family and friends down to show them where you have been spending so much time lately and any newcomers that would just like to come down and meet us and see what we do at the box you are more than welcome. If you could drop us a line and let us know you may be coming down that would be great.

We look forward to seeing you all on Saturday. Lets just hope the sun keeps shining!

July Intro Course

So our July Intro course is nearly upon us!

Its happening this Sunday 10th July from 12pm -3pm down at CrossFit Connect.

Our Intro courses are vital for you to participate in in order to understand and appreciate what CrossFit is and how it can be so effective as a training method. We teach you the 9 foundational CrossFit movements (plus a few others thrown in for good measure!) and let you get involved in your first Workout of the Day (WOD). We also cover the CrossFit fundamentals, are happy to answer any questions you may have and have a chat on nutrition and why it is such an important part of your training.

After the Intro course you are then able to attend any of our regular classes. You will still have us on hand to guide you through the classes and help you perfect the movements but you will have a much better understanding of what it is you are doing and more importantly, why?

The course cost is £80 and for more detailed information please see our website www.crossfitconnect.co.uk

The next course wont be run until August so book your place soon. We have limited places each month so make sure you can join up with us as soon as you'd like. Give either myself or Holly a call on the numbers to the right or drop us an email.

With some amazing results coming in from our first 30-day Paleo challenge (a 30-day nutrition and training plan devised especially for our members by Plan P) now is the perfect time to seize the opportunity to become part of the CrossFit community and actually make your time spent down the gym worthwhile!
(Full details of these results will be published soon.....watch this space!)

Great Article about Goals and Perseverence

Photos From The FK.UK Fun Day!

The weather turned out amazing for a great day out yesterday at the Assault Course in Surrey. There was a good gathering of people and i got to meet a few guys and gals who i'd been meaning to catch up with for a while now.

The day was spent in a very relaxed fashion just playing around on the various bars, climbing equipment, ropes and tyres. We had a good cook out of meats and salads and finished it all off with a dip in the sea when we got back to Brighton. I love living by the sea when the weather is as good as it was yesterday! In fact, i love living by the sea all the time!

Thanks to Chet, Jules and FK.UK for arranging it and thanks to our members of CrossFit Connect for coming along too.

A selection of photos can be seen below but for a whole stack more head to our Facebook page here:
