Extra Apparel for sale

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

We ordered some extra apparel and since everyone who pre-ordered have gotten all of theirs we have the rest for sale. Ask the coach after class to try out the tops and bring $35 cash for Tee’s and Muscle tee’s. We will do another pre-order again soon.

Concerning class bookings, we know it is a brand new system and we do appreciate you having a few issues remembering to book in. But remember if you don’t book in and turn up to a fully booked class you are taking coaching time away from the 16 people who did book in. We will never ask anyone to leave who hasn’t booked in of course, but the 16 cap is a specific number in which the coach is able to get around to each individual member and give specific coaching. That is also the main reason you all chose to train here because you know you get personalized coaching during each class.

We appreciate you guys being behind us as we are constantly trying to improve the SPC experience.

Booking System is up and running

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Our booking system is up and running so make sure you go on our website or Facebook to book into classes from now on. It is super simple to do, just spend a couple minutes looking through the set-up and you will be ready to roll. It will be a big change for everyone and we do appreciate you taking the time to get used to it. At the end of the day it will help us track total class numbers and specific member attendance. More importantly, it will spread class numbers around all classes which means you will always have the needed equipment for your workout and the coach will always be able to get around every person in the class to make sure you get the most out of your training session.

We are always happy to hear your questions or concerns regarding anything with the gym so feel free to get hold of use if you need any help with this.

Lastly, a huge thank you to Timely in Dunedin for helping us getting our booking system set up. It is another step in the right direction of growing bigger and better and it will help us expand our business for the future. It is a great feeling to support local businesses and build strong relationships in Dunedin.

Where have you been?

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Our SPC Olympic weightlifting Program kicked off last night. It will be awesome to see how much you will improve under the guidance of Mark over these next 6 weeks. Looking forward to following everyones progress. If you have changed your mind and really want to sign up you need to do so before Thursday, after that you will need to wait till next round.

Masters League is starting this Friday. We have been hassling a few of you to get signed up so hopefully you have followed up on that. It would be great to have a few people to throw down with this year. Let us know how you get on. Throw any questions at us about the comp.

Speaking of hassling:) If you haven’t been in a while prepare to get a call or text today. We are always chasing people up because it is a fun part of the job but mainly to get you back into the gym. There are many reasons for stopping your training but when your reason for stopping is no longer there the hardest part is getting back into it. That’s where we come in, Let us hear your reason and we will try and help you get back the best we can. We realize we can’t help everyone but we will sure try. Plus we know you’ll be reading this blog post anyway thinking, “hmm, I do need to get back training with these guys”

Josh Ong’s Fundraiser page

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Thanks again to Josh from Focus Physio for giving us a bunch of tips on how to become more flexible and stable and move better. Everyone got heaps out of it and it would be great to invite you back for a follow up session and get even more people involved. We could potentially partner up and everyone can go through the screening again.

I will post the link for Josh’s fundraising page on our Facebook page and you can go in and help him raise money for Malcam Trust. Every little amount counts so please donate what you can afford.

Reminder: Our Olympic Weightlifting Program starts tonight 6.30 and we have very limited spots left so if you haven’t made your mind yet you have until tonight to get signed up and pay. We are looking forward to bringing this program to all of you again. And we are very fortunate to have such an experienced weightlifting coach in Mark White helping us out.

Meet Petera Tapsell

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Petera (Pet) is from Tauranga. He went to school in Hamilton (St Pauls). He had always played sports since he was young but stopped when he started a Surveying degree at Uni. He was keen to get started with something again so his flatmate Ryan introduced him to CrossFit halfway through last year.

Pet has mobility and coordination on his side so he picked up CrossFit pretty early on. He is one of the more quiet guys at the gym but easy to coach and always tries his hardest. Pet loves social gatherings and a few drinks, he is the biggest drinker at the gym (as specified from Marcus:) but he is always back at the gym training, even if he has been out the night before. Pet is at the gym most days either during a class or at Open gym. He loves playing the guitar in his spare time, we are still to hear some music from him at one of our parties. Feel free to bring your guitar down next time. Pet enjoys going out sailing too, mainly at home during his holidays. His Favourite drink is purple goanna, Favorite Food is Nachos and Favourite exercise at the gym is Toes to Bar.

Keep training hard and enjoying yourself in Dunedin for the next year and a half mate. I’m sure there will be plenty of gym parties you can join in on.

No 6.30pm class Tuesday & Thursday during Weightlifting

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Remember with the weight lifting program starting next week there will be no 6.30pm class Tuesday and Thursday evening for the next 6 weeks. Since 6.30pm are normally quiet classes it shouldn’t affect too many of you plus a few of you have signed up for the program anyway. 7.30pm would just be too late to run the program as people wouldn’t get home till after 9pm.

If you have any concerns about making it to other sessions feel free to get hold of us and we will help you out the best we can.

There are still a few spots available. Get hold of us now if you would like to sign up.

Improve your mobility with Josh, this Saturday

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Make sure you get yourself to the gym this Saturday at 10am. Josh Ong will be taking everyone through a movement screening and helping everyone with their mobility. If you have any mobility or flexibility issues you should definitely go to this class. Josh is fundraising for Malcam Trust so a small donation for the session would be much appreciated.

If you feel you are very mobile or flexible you should still turn up to learn more about good positions to use that mobility or flexibility to its full potential. Also think about if you are hyper mobile, Josh will have a few things for you to focus on to stay within a strong/safe range of motion.

Remember everything you learn on Saturday can be used from then on before or after every training session you do. Incorporate it into warm ups, cool downs and recovery sessions. It will give your session more direction when you turn up early to a class. and you can do it while you catch up with other members too.
