What's new in September at "The Box"

CARD PAYMENTS NOW AVAILABLE

CrossFit Wolfram Card Payments Accepted

We now have a card machine
for purchasing any snacks, drinks, t-shirts, or class packs, etc..
It’s a typical card payment process: tap for any value up to £30, chip and pin for anything higher.
You have the option of having a receipt emailed or text to you. Minimum spend is £1.
​The device works off 3g so the signal is a bit dodgy in places, you might struggle at first but if you take it round the box for a walk you should get some coverage!

OUR NEW KIT!

New Equipment at CrossFit Wolfram Picture
You’ll have noticed the recent investment of new kit at the box. We now have some brand-new ply boxes and some new 5 kg plates to replace the old kit that was in need of updating. A reminder that the “no drop rule” applies to these ALL 5 kg plates, as well as wall balls, kettlebells, dumbbells, etc. The more we can all look after the existing kit, the less we have to spend replacing worn out equipment and then we can keep investing in exciting new kit!

BOOTCAMP CLASSES WITH COACH KELLY

BootCamp Title Graphic Blue
Kelly’s exciting new bootcamp classes are kicking off this month, which are available to all members as part of your package and bookable via BoxChamp, or on a block purchase/PAYG basis for non-members.
​
The classes are designed for all abilities and are ideal for beginners as they will primarily focus on developing strength and fitness without the more complex movements seen in typical CrossFit classes. Classes will run at 10:45-11:45am on Monday and Thursday mornings, so if you have any non-CrossFit friends that you think would like it give it a go, bring them along as their first session is free!


MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Member Spotlight Title Graphic Orange
CrossFit Wolfram's New Coach MelisaOur New Coach Melisa

Our member spotlight for August was one of our founding members and recent CrossFit Level 1 coach Mel.
As one of our original members, it’s been fantastic to see Mel develop from a complete newcomer to CrossFit into a competent athlete, and then a coach! Mel has really taken to coaching her Monday evening sessions like a duck to water, and it’s great to see her classes already becoming so popular!

Our upcoming September member spotlight is Lucy Renville. Lucy is our youngest member, and shows great passion and commitment to her CrossFit by attending numerous classes each week and always with a willingness to learn and improve. She’s made some great progress in her time with us, which was rewarded with a second place in her category during the CrossFit Open earlier this year.

Who do you think deserves to be features as one of our member spotlights?
Let us know!




NEW MEMBERS

A big welcome to all our new members who’ve joined the Wolfpack in August, many of which have come through the Monday evening beginner’s classes: Hannah M, Nat, Jack R, Jess, Lily and Daphne. So if you see a new face you don’t recognise in a class, make sure you say hello!

​CROSSFIT KIDS

CrossFit Kids Wold Cubs Graphic
September sees the start of a new school year and a new block of CrossFit Kids classes at Wolfram, with the addition of a Thursday class to our weekly schedule.

The Thursday class will be a repeat of the Tuesday class, so you have a choice of one day or the other for the entire block, not a "mix and match". However, if you know that your child cannot attend their regular class in a particular week, let us know and we will try to accommodate a swap to the other class as a one off.

The next block of classes will start on the week commencing 2nd September to the week beginning 14th October. Prices for the block are £35 for pay monthly members, and £42 for punch card and non-members, or there is a PAYG option of £6/class available and your child's first session is completely FREE!

For more information, or to book a space on the September block, please contact us soon as spaces are becoming limited!

COMPETITIONS

Picture
  • The last weekend of August saw Matt B compete at Battle Cancer in Berlin, a fantastic charity fundraising event in aid of Cancer research, to which you can still donate here: https://tinyurl.com/y3e9fxza

  • Member Steph also took part in a local strongwoman competition over in Yeovil on the same weekend as the Berlin event, and earlier in the month we also had Adam putting in a shift at the British Functional Fitness Championships at the University of Bath, where he hit a fantastic snatch PB of 95Kg!

  • Coach Amanda has been as busy as ever on the local CrossFit competitive scene, and is running our competition board at the box, so if you want to get involved in any upcoming competitions, check out the board and sign yourselves up! Also, if you know of any upcoming competitions that you think the box could get involved in, let Amanda know and she will update the board.

  • We have Mel, Claire, Kate and Adam all competing at the Rainhill Trials on the 21st/22nd September in Manchester, where coach Olly is also on judging duties, so watch out guys!

  • We also have our own CrossFit Wolfram Competition fast approaching on Sunday 29th of this month! We already have teams entered, so if you want to get involved, get a team organised for either the scaled or Rx category and get entered as spaces are becoming limited! Even if you’re not competing, it would be great to see as many of you as possible there on the day supporting our teams! We are also in need of judges to help run the event for the day. No experience is necessary and you will receive a special judges care package as a thank you for giving up your day, so if you are available to help out, even if it’s only for a few hours, please make yourselves known! Full event details are available here: https://www.facebook.com/events/460478984739714/

    Taking part in an upcoming competition, achieved a sporting success or participating in a challenge for charity? Let us know so we can feature it here!​



OTHER EVENTS

  • We have our British Weight Lifting Level 1 Course coming on 7th/8th September. This is a fantastic opportunity to really get into the technical details of how to perform, and coach, the clean and jerk and the snatch, as well as gaining a BWL recognised qualification on the process! Signups and more information are available here: https://tinyurl.com/y4bbguja

  • We have Michelle, our gymnastic specialist, coming back to Wolfram on Saturday 5th October with another of her gymnastic workshops. Michelle is a former competitive gymnast turned CrossFitter, so this is great opportunity to develop your gymnastics capabilities from an expert in that subject! Full details will be released soon, so keep an eye out on the Wolfram Facebook page, or ask a coach if you want to know more!
  • The Overlord Challenge is also fast approaching! Member Andy W is training hard for his 10 marathon rows in 10 days challenge in aid of the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal, the last of which is being held at the Chard Guildhall on Saturday 9th November with a challenge of teams rowing 100Km to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings. We urge as many of you as possible to support this fantastic event, either by rowing in a team, by volunteering to help run the event, or by showing your support for the rowers by coming down and making a donation. We have lots happening on the day, so make sure you come and get involved! More information can be found here: www.overlordchallenge.co.uk ​
