And just like that, we’re at the end of the October holidays. Whether you’ve been away for a few days, keeping the little people entertained or carrying on with your usual working week, we hope there’s been a wee bit of time for yourself somewhere along the way. Thank you so much to everybody who’s been in with us this week. We know the holidays can mean a bit of juggling, and your usual sessions aren’t always possible when everyone’s routines look a little different. 

We shared a wee reminder about why we move, especially for anyone who’s been finding it harder to get to their sessions just now. With the darker mornings and heading back out after a long day at work, sometimes we need that reminder ourselves. When you’re in a good routine, you don’t always stop to think about what that time gives you. But when you’ve been away from it, you might start to miss the wee things. Having a bit more energy, feeling stronger, clearing your head or just getting some time to yourself with familiar faces. Your reason for coming might be completely different from when you first walked through our door. Maybe you started with a particular goal, and now it’s about keeping yourself strong, feeling good or having that time in your week that’s yours. As the schools go back and things settle down a little, it’s a good opportunity to look at where your sessions can fit into the week ahead. It doesn’t need to be a big overhaul or making up for anything you’ve missed. It can just be booking a session and taking it from there.

We also have to give a special mention to Elaine and Nikki, who both took part in HYROX in Valencia this past weekend, each taking on their own solo event. Such a huge achievement for you both, and we are so proud of you. We can’t wait to hear all about it when you’re back. 

There are lots of lovely things to look forward to at HQ too. We’re so lucky to have Kerri Major joining us this Thursday, 22nd October, for a chat about nutrition, fuelling ourselves and making sense of some of the noise around food. Then on Saturday, 24th October, it’s your mini me turn as we welcome them in for Kids’ MiniRox. We’re looking forward to seeing them get involved and have some fun together. 

Date for your diary for the following week: Friday Night Frights on Friday, 30th October. Our usual friday night workout with some halloween additions. halloween attire encouraged, and plenty of Halloween spirit required. 

We look forward to seeing your faces in the week ahead 💙
