    Week 7 done and in the bag!

    Well done to everyone - and again thank you for the interaction, continued support and the lovely comments and messages.

    Some cracking results this week on sugarwod and in the arms challenge.

    Before we announce the winners, couple of updates – the gymnastic class was a huge success, thanks Georgia, and we will be running again on Wednesday night at 6pm, with our regular social at 8pm.

    Saturday team wod is running again and we have space for more PT with Mark the week after this.

    I am sure, most of you will be watching Boris this evening, the fitness industry has been awash with speculation this week as regards reopening dates.

    From our point of view, we have plans in place for social distancing and clearly designed strategies to ensure member safety. And our focus is coach and member safety and once we have listened to any updates tonight we have a meeting tomorrow to be able to focus on how we proceed with the new knowledge.

    So, whilst we know you will have questions, can you hold off till we release plans tomorrow and we can do a Q and A if needed?

    But, regardless of tonight’s words – our focus is to continue training you all, offering more at home and keeping you safe and healthy and part of CFR. Because, we are more than a gym ðŸ˜Š

    So the scores,

    If you recall there were a 100 extra points on offer for those with the highest class attendance and highest cumulative scores.

    Mushy Mushkeeters: 720

    Booty Babes: 800

    The Gnome Army: 3405

    Team Selina: 4950

    Challenge Winners & Updates

    Hi everyone,

    Hope you are well, really missing our box now!

    This week we have continued to look at how we can run the gym safely and get you all in training.  Following the government announcement this week we should be in a position to provide more clarity. 

    A couple of updates on classes,

    This week we have a specialty gymnastics class with Georgia and Mark on Wednesday at 6pm, and the CF kids and teens have their very own yoga class on Wednesday at 3.

    Plus – our Wednesday night social has a whole new game – 8pm – 45 minutes, please come along and say hi – we miss your faces!

    Again, thank you for still being part of CFR, for training, for sharing your achievements on social media – as a small business where we all love what we do – words can’t describe how grateful we are.  Because of you – we have a CFR to come back to and hopefully you can see the work we are doing to support our members.

    The Next Challenge

    Anything Arms Goes!

    You get one point for either:

    (any variation counts)

    Press-Ups

    Tricep Dips

    Pull-Ups

    HSPU

    HSW steps

    Plus Zoom classes attended

    So, the scoring – pay attention…

    It is slightly different than last week

    Max reps is what we are looking for, but after each count up – the scores reset to 0

    So scores are due in on Monday at 6.30pm, Wednesday at 6.30pm, Friday at 6.30pm, Sunday @ 5.30pm

    However the team that gets the most points over the week gets a 100 extra points.

    On the Sunday, each teams average zoom attendance will be broken down and an additional 100 points for the winning team, followed by 75, 50, etc.

    Basically – do loads of reps and loads of classes – job done.

     

    Scores:

    This challenge has been great, some quieter members have joined in, and to hear Katie from the 6.30am group talk about how much she has enjoyed it has been music to my ears.

    The effort levels have been tremendous.

    But the final scores…

    (It is points that count)

    On steps climbed,

    In reverse order:

    Team Selina: 62,758

    Radical Rodways: 95,578

    Mush Mushketeers: 105,692

    The Gnome Army: 114,723

    But the Booty Babes came in with an incredible: 130,168

     

    Then classes attended:

    Radical Rodways on 0.75

    The Gnome Army on 1

    Team Selina on 1.4

    Booty Babes on 2

    Mushy Mushketeers on 2.4

     

    Which means….

    (It all came down to classes attended..)

    In reverse order:

    Team Selina: 95 points

    Radical Rodways: 120 points

    Booty Babes: 285

    The Gnome Army: 350

    Mushy Musketeers: 425

     

    So get behind your team this week, the banter has been great and is always lovely to see you!

    If we can help, let us know,

    End of Week 5

    Hi all,

     Hope you have all got through Week 5 safe and well.  I know a couple of our NHS workers have battled with Covid-19, and I hope you all know how grateful we are to our member out working against the disease.

     This email will cover winners of this week’s challenge, next week’s challenge and cover off some of our plans for when businesses start to open again.

     I’ll start back to front.

     Re-opening

     We very much want you all back.  But, our primary focus is safety and wellness of all our members.  We have a ridiculous amount of plans about how we manage social distancing, and how we make the gym far safer than any supermarket.  We need to understand the government guidelines before fully explaining how we see it working but to reassure there are many plans in place.

     We will only open when we know we have everything ready and feel it is safe.

     The only thing we know for certain is that equipment will be sanitised after every use and wiped down, you will have to book in for every time you come into the gym so we can control numbers. and we will manage social distancing.  We have contactless thermometers to check temperatures and closely following what other gyms are doing that are re-opening.   Plus because of the size of our gym we will look at running two classes – one in each side to reinforce social distancing and allowing us to clean and limit numbers per class to make it safe.  And we are closely looking at Open Gym and how that fits into guidelines.

     For members who are shielding or want to wait before coming back into the gym, we will continue Zoom workouts, kit loan, and ensuring full involvement.

     We see you guys as family, we are not a Globogym, and we will work our arses off to ensure a healthy, safe, training environment.

     Thank you again, for sticking with us, training hard, posting on social media and being the best members.

     The wining team of this weeks ZOOM and OG challenge is

     Mush Musketeers on: 10.8

    Team Selina on: 9.37

    Radical Rodways on: 7,5

    Gnome Army: 5.6

     Well done to Mushy’s Mushketeers

     Can they win the next one? .

     Lets climb a mountain

     The next challenge runs from Monday 8am to Sunday 5pm.

     It also has a new team entry - The Bootcamp Babes!

     You will have two ways to score points.

     1.  For every Zoom class, group PT, or Barbell class - you score 1 points.

    (the total of your team will be divided by the amount of people in each group to get a fair average)

     NOT OG THIS WEEK

     2. Lets climb the 3 peaks....

     Each team is set the challenge of walking the three peaks, you will get a point for each one step you climb (and you must complete at least a hundred in a session).

     First Team to hit 17000, gets an extra 100 points.

     (You are going to have to keep a note of your steps!)

     Have a great week, 

     Contact me if I can help,

     Stay safe...

     Jane
