Conrad Frew and Stu Kemp (Big Dog, who just turned 56) are going up north to compete at a masters competition at CrossFit Waitakere. Good Luck to them from Dunedin and hope they can teach these north island boys how to fitness:) Connie is sporting our new hoodie from AS Colour, which you can order through the gym. Wear it proudly my man.
Its fantastic to see our members commit to competitions to really test how fit they have become. Because in the end, functional fitness is a sport to many. If you think of it as just a fitness program for you to be healthier and more able in your daily life, and you are happy with that, that is completely fine. The most important thing is you are moving and you are happy, but for those who think of it as a sport would obviously like to compete as well as train. You wouldn’t see many people at rugby clubs just turn up to training every week but not lace-up in the weekend. Its just another way to think about what we do.
If competing is something you might be interested in, make sure you come and see Jack or I and we can give you some guidance and point you in the right direction.
A great place to start, is joining in on less serious ones, like in-house competitions. I am already organizing our first one which is all about bringing all of you guys together. The coolest thing about these comps is that normally you tend to stick to a sustain class-time and this way, morning and afternoon members get to meet each other, which is great for our community.
There will be plenty of info coming out early next week so you can plan around it. Yes it will be very inclusive as my main goal is to get as many of you guys involved as possible. The bigger the group the more fun we will have. Enjoy your weekend
