The studio is complete and it is time to celebrate and showcase the place to everyone.

On Saturday the 13th November, I will have the grand opening. I am inviting all of you to come along and check it out. Even if you are a regular there, let’s get the place buzzing for a few hours on Saturday morning.

I will have free workouts every 30 mins for everyone who would like to participate.

Fitness challenges running throughout the morning for everyone who is up for a bit of fitness competition.

There will be prizes for the best in the workouts and the best in the fitness challenges.

The party will be on 8:30am till 11am on Saturday the 13th November.

Please invite anyone you know who is interested in fitness, no matter who they are or where they live. I want to spread the word of CrossFit and show everyone what it is all about.

I would love it if you could let me know if you will be coming, by putting your name in the comments below. Even if you just stop by for 10 mins, I would love to see your face there.

Thanks everyone, looking forward to seeing you all then.

One more thing, the new CrossFit Kensington website is up and running, so check it out!www.crossfitkensington.com.au

Well the studio has been open for 3 weeks now and whilst we have been operating classes, there has still been some work going on.

I am happy to say that the place is now complete, all the equipment is in and we are now and official CrossFit affiliate.

The name is Fitta Bodies CrossFit Kensington and the website will be up very soon.

If you have never experienced what CrossFit is all about, I can tell you that in the past 10 years of being a personal trainer, CrossFit is the best thing I have seen in the way of improving overall fitness, shredding bodyfat, gaining real overall strength, becoming more co-ordinated and skilled and actually enjoying the exercise routines that change daily.

There are many CrossFit affiliates world wide and each one is different in their own little ways.

I am hoping to make CrossFit Kensington one of the great affiliates by putting my own touch on all of our workouts.

I can say that at this point, our main focus will be met-con workouts unless I have specific clients that want to focus on Olympic lifting strength. Weights will generally be scaled by gender, fitness level, age and body weight, so a 95kg fit man won’t be lifting the same as a 70kg fit man, and the 70kg man won’t be penalised for lifting a lighter weight.

I am hoping to build a great base of clients who embrace the CrossFit style of training because I can tell you, it is the way of the future in the fitness industry, so get on board now, with a trainer who has trained this way for nearly 18 months now.

If you anyone would like to trial the classes, I am extending an offer of $50 for a 3 week trial of all the scheduled group CrossFit classes. This offer is not applicable to anyone who is currently training in the studio and may only be used once per person.

Looking forward to seeing you all in the gym very soon!

Last week I was fortunate enough to discuss CrossFit style training on 2SSR 99.7fm’s health and fitness show Total Vitality.

The day after the interview I trained the presenter Julia Achilleos at my studio in Kensington and needless to say, she felt the benefits of CrossFit style training over traditional gym workouts or going for a jog!

Here’s a link to the radio station’s blog with the entire interview, you just have to scroll down a little bit.

You can also read Julia’s blog post about our training session here.

If you haven’t tried our high intensity cross training classes yet, please check out our studio website here and book yourself in for some classes.

I signed the lease and got the keys today!!!

Job number 1, get the blackboard wall completed before the flooring goes down.

The awesome blackboard workout wall

Job number 2, stick down the 6 rubber tiles I have to create an edge for laying the other 94 tiles tomorrow.

6 down, 94 to go...

Job number 3, get the lockers in place.

18 new lockers

Now tomorrow the fun begins when a lot of the equipment and all the rubber flooring arrive!

We’ll definitely be open on Tuesday as I am moving out of Randwick studio on the weekend. The place won’t be finished, but it will be great for training by Tuesday.

We will be waiting on signage, air conditioning, pull up bars and the extra concept 2 erg’s, but what we have got is all we need to get started!

It’s all very exciting!!!
