Hello you awesome people!

It’s only a matter of hours before the lucky Alex gets to call the awesome Greg, and his amazing beard her, husband.

What a lucky lady!!

Alex and Greg are two of the most likeable people that anyone is likely to meet so it’s a pleasure to start everyday with them and the rest of the crazy gang at 5:30am.

From everyone at CrossFit UV we want to wish you both the greatest success and happiness in your marriage.

Member of the month – Allie
/ Alex/ Soon to be Mrs Edmonds!!
In the last few months Allie has been working her butt off (or on as the case may be) getting into absolutely fantastic shape for her wedding.

Not only has she been going to classes 6 days a week but she regularly does extra work after class too.  The hardest thing is to get her get her to take more rest!

We can all see the benefits of this hard work in the gym, her regular PR’s and in how she looks.  As if I needed further proof, I just received a notification to my phone showing a new 115lbs hang clean & jerk PR (great tan in the video by the way) and yesterday she did a casual 3 strict pull ups!

What most people don’t see is a lot of the hard work Allie has been putting in behind the scenes on her nutrition.  We’ve been working together slowly getting her ready for the wedding over the last few months and whilst things have been very challenging at times her dedication has been amazing (plus she hasn’t tried to kill me which is a win).

Whether it’s through funny shirts or dancing, Allie brings an infectious level of energy to the gym with here every morning and, despite her love of 90’s boybands, the gym is always a better place when she’s there.

In summary we all inspire to be Allie’s brand of crazy.

p.s. we’d tried calling her Allie on the whiteboard for a while but everyone kept asking who that was so we went back to Alex.

p.p.s. if you recognise this pose it’s because she has it down to an art-form.

UV Nutrition 

Something new!

We know how important, yet confusing, the nutrition side of things is for people therefore we want to make it as simple and as easy as possible for you.

To do this we’re going to start working with people on setting their overall calorie and macros goals (carbs, fat and protein) to take the guessing out of it for you.

On a weekly basis you’ll send us your weight, body fat, measurements and progress pics then we’ll provide your calories and macro goals for the following week.

Like everything at UV the goal is to get long term sustainable results so that, if you do overindulge, it’s taken into account and doesn’t derail you.

I know when you see a lot of the macro setting offerings online they sell for $1-200 a month however we want to make it as accessible as possible to everyone (we are in the results game after all) therefore we’re only going to charge $30 a month.

To kick off the process we require you to do a Nutrition 101 first to ensure that you have received a solid grounding in nutrition and can ask any food related questions that you may have.  After that simply let us know that you’d like to start working on your weekly macros.

Head over to the UVnutrition.fit and keep a regular eye on the UV Nutrition Instagram for regular nutrition tips and recipes.

Supplements Corner

We’ve started putting in a order of 5 Star Formula and the amazing pre and post workout carb Vitargo on a monthly basis. If you want any of the products or want to find out more information let us know.

The next order will be put in on Friday the 30th June and if you haven’t tried the key lime pie you’re missing out on happiness!

Finally, we stock the excellent Blonyx HMB and Creatine – see benefits here.

If there are any other supplements you’d like us to look at please let us know.

Social Corner
It’s Summer Time and we’re having our Canada Day weekend BBQ on Monday 3rd July from 10am.

We’ll kick off with a WOD at 10am and get the food going from 11am.

There’s no requirement to do the WOD but if you’d like to please register on Zen Planner as always.

It’s BYOG (bring your own gains) so please feel free to bring meat, dogs, babies and adults (in that order) and we’ll have a great day!

To help us get an idea of attendance please confirm your attendance here.

If you have any social ideas just let us know.

Ps keep Sunday July the 30th free in your diary for our next social.

Handstand of the month

We want you to celebrate your fitness by doing fun stuff so what’s more CrossFit than taking handstand pictures EVERYWHERE!

This was technically more of a wall walk than handstand but hard work deserves praise and Taylor has been working on this for months and has been creeping closer and closer to the wall every session.

She’s almost there and the handstand will follow very soon!!

If you take a handstand picture just post it in the members group or tag @crossfituv on social media.

Outfit of the month

This is a very common outfit at CrossFit UV and it usually stems from arriving in one outfit, changing into your workout gear and then adding some of the original outfit back before you leave.

The combinations are usually quite funny but #DemBootsTho put me right over the edge on this one.

I think that we can all agree that Hilda, ever the fashionista, was definitely able to pull this outfit off when she went grocery shopping afterwards.

CrossFit UV Swag

Social Media

Competition Corner

On Saturday 9th of July, Heidy, Kojo and Fergus will be competing in the UG Beach Series in Colingwood.

I’ll admit that we’re going into this one a little blind (hence the fact that we haven’t tried to enter tonnes of teams) but keep an eye on their social media for updates on the day.

We’ll also be adding plenty of pics on CrossFit UV’s social media.
