Thanks to everyone who turned up Saturday at Harlem’s for Christmas drinks. Great way to catch up with everyone before the Xmas rush starts.
Make sure you find time to get your daily workout in even if things get stressful. Taking an hour to yourself to do a short workout will help clear your head and de-stress. Remember you don’t have to workout alone either. There will be plenty of people down here who will sympathize with your situation and most likely be going through the same stuff at times. They are all here for the same purpose to forget about all that stuff for a short time. Come down and join our daily workout and feel better after you leave the gym.

We have been working on our own set of Benchmark workouts for all of our members to use as a measure of how fit you get over any period of time. We will be rolling them out in the new year and will be using them from now on throughout the year to measure all of your fitness parameters.

Yes there will be scaled options for all of them but that will be programmed by us as well as these will all be measurable tests. You can see for yourself how fit you have become if you go from a scaled version to the RX version of a particular workout. There will be 10 tests over all facets of Strength and Fitness. This will be a special part to our community. It will develop some friendly new rivalries and push all of you to improve. We are looking forward to bringing these tests to you so make sure to watch this space as they get released in the new year.

A couple of things to remember:

We are meeting at Harlems for Xmas drinks this Saturday 6pm. Address is on the white board. Give us a message if you need to now it. Really looking forward to seeing heaps of you up there.

We are starting two new GPP Classes this Tuesday and Thursday 6.30pm. Grab some friends and join in on a fun high energy circuit session. It will be an awesome workout and a great introduction to CrossFit at the same time.

SPC Running Program participants have their Mile Run time trial later this month. Will be awesome to have all the improvements on paper. They have worked extremely hard over the last many weeks and it will be great to see all the hard work paying off. It has also helped their CrossFit Wods heaps both from a straight running aspect but also with recovery.

As always we are keen to hear how you are finding the gym. So never be shy whether it is good or bad, we want to know. The bad will make us improve and the good will give us a boost to keep working hard for all of you.

Any suggestions, feedback or signing up for our programs can be directed to 021 248 9222 or [email protected]

What’s the difference between all the other stressful times during the year where you force yourself to come in because you want to get a good start to your day. Then as soon as they dress up the main street in Christmas gear you suddenly develop holiday mode and the weirdest excuse for why you shouldn’t get your training done. Come on team, let us hold off for another three weeks till when you actually should take a break to be with your family and friends.

There is plenty of work to be done yet. I bet most, if not all of you, have at least one goal you really want to get done before the end of the year. Even if you feel way off it, keep coming in and work on things. Not just for the purpose of achieving the goal but also to get that hour to yourself where you don’t need to worry and all the things people worry about this time of year. You might even see things in a better light after getting a little sweat up.

Looking forward to seeing you all in here for the next couple of weeks and then we can all have a well deserved break.

You might not know this but as coaches we aren’t only here to teach you how to deadlift or do pull ups. We soak up as much information about you as we can to help you be fitter and healthier but also better people and this is about your integrity. As you count reps, we count reps and at times it hasn’t been adding up. This is not to call you out as a cheater because there is always two sides to a story and in most cases we only know our side so here goes.

#1 If you are here purely to be first in the wod every day you need to have a look at yourself and find something more important to train for than having the fastest time everyday. You won’t win every day and if you didn’t do all the reps is it really a win? No one should be so competitive they compromise their own longterm results and sanity by creating shortcuts because there are no shortcuts. All you do is creating a skewed picture of your own fitness and you will never know true improvements or be able to celebrate true PR’s, because they simply are not.

#2 If you don’t want to look really unfit compared to the people you work out with it’s easy to cut a few reps to at least look like you are keeping up. Who cares if you are keeping up or not? You are not here to showcase your fitness you are here to improve it. Just work hard in every session and be last if thats the way it goes. You will find the last person often gets the biggest cheers and you will feel a much bigger sense of accomplishment if you do the whole workout.

Remember for one hour a day at SPC, you are meant to just be yourself get a workout in and forget about the stressors of life. If you put pressure on yourself here by trying to win at all cost what are you really accomplishing other than adding stress to your life. Remember why you signed up in the first place and get back to just getting the workout done and create a better feeling for the rest of your day.
