New programme - who dis!? A new month means the start of a new programme cycle! 🎉

All our training programmes are available to view on TrueCoach for all members, so you can see what’s coming up and maximise your time with us. 📈

Do you check the workouts coming up, or prefer the “nice surprise” when you see the whiteboard in the gym? 😳 🙈

Our training involves movements that help build your strength and fitness while ALSO making you more athletic and physically capable. This variety keeps your body guessing and progressing, and your mind engaged and interested for the long term. Of course, everything is adapted to the individual, so you get the right workout for you.

This month sees us work some longer endurance alongside shorter sharper intervals in the conditioning work, while building some strength, speed and power with plenty of squats, deadlifts and Olympic lifting. With the CrossFit Open kicking off at the end of the month, you’ll see lots of the movements we’d expect to see Open workouts, so you can get plenty of practice and sharpen your skills!

We hope you have a great month of training!

💪💪💪

Congrats to our crew to took on the @hyroxuk race in Manchester yesterday!
🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️

All the individual and pairs have it their all and cheered each other on through the running, rowing, skiing, sledding and other fun fitness things!

@hyroxuk returns to London at the end of April and, with divisions for varying levels of a ability, is great way to give yourself an accessible challenge. Shout out if you’re keen to rep @mvmt_lbs at the London race! ✌️

Let's get physical, while we get quizzical!⁠ 💪 🧠
⁠
The Brain Gains Pub Quiz certainly requires some mental gymnastics, but we always love a chance to show off our physical prowess too, so look out for the physical challenge rounds!⁠
⁠
Throwback to 2020 as Pat earns his team max points on the Koala challenge! ⁠🐨
⁠
If you want to take part this year, shoot us a DM to sign up!⁠ The quiz will be in teams of 4, but If you don’t have a team, don’t worry - let us know you want to come and we’ll assign you one. ⁠
⁠
🗓 Saturday 26th February⁠
🗺 Movement Labs EAST (78 Alie street)⁠
⌚️15:00 - Bar opens ⁠
⌚️16:00 - Quiz starts ⁠
⌚️18:00 - Quiz ends, party starts!⁠
⁠
⁠We've had armless burpees, dart throwing and wheel barrow walk racing in previous years - what physical challenge would you want to have a crack at?

Personalised coaching tailored to your individual needs and goals!⁠
⁠
New at the end of last year, our EXTRA CREDIT PROGRAMME serves those with specific objectives: from marathon training to muscle ups - our coaches are here to guide you to your goals. Everyone is different and sometimes you want to put a little more into whatever matters to you the most, that’s where you need to get some extra credit!⁠
⁠
Examples of what we could help with include (but are not limited to):⁠
⁠
- Endurance events like 5ks, triathlons or long rides⁠
- CrossFit comp skills like kipping work or breaking pistols, handstand press-ups, muscle ups etc⁠
- Specific work for strength gains or Olympic weightlifting⁠
- Training tailored for aesthetics (gaining muscle, getting leaner etc)⁠
- Working through and rehabbing limitations like imbalances, niggles or injuries⁠
⁠
How it works⁠
- Consultation with a coach to discuss your goals, current training set up and priorities⁠
- In person session with a coach for assessment and to take you through your plan⁠
- Personalised training programme⁠
- Video upload for feedback, weekly feedback from your coach, monthly check ins and programme updates and quarterly in person sessions for reassessment⁠
- Often done in collaboration with other members of the team (if it’s anything to do with gaining / losing weight we’ll work with our nutrition coach Sara, it’s to do with limitations or injuries we’ll work with our in house osteopath Mariana)⁠
⁠
What this isn’t:⁠
- Only for advanced trainees⁠
- Restricted to certain types of goals⁠
- A replacement for our general programme⁠
- A template programme that you’re left to execute on your own⁠
⁠
This service is provided for £70 a month (expect to pay around £200 for other online remote coaching offerings) and we're releasing 5 more spaces on the programme in February - so DM for a free consult on what you'd like to work on!

Do you @mvmt_lbs know you can be coached by a world record holder? 🏅Coach Lee @lwt_recession_proof_body held the world record for strict muscle ups @ 14 reps! 😱⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Of course you don’t need to hold world records to train in his Calisthenics classes. Every ability is catered for - in fact training simply with your own body weight is arguably the most accessible way to start getting stronger and more mobile 💪⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Swipe ⏩ to hear from Coach what’s in store for you in this class and book in Wednesday lunch times or Monday, Wednesday & Friday nights!⁠⠀

"This is a game changer!"⁠ 📈⠀
⁠⠀
Last year we added nutrition coaching as standard with all memberships. ⁠⠀
⠀
🍲 🧆 🥙⠀
⁠⠀
Frankly, it had become hypocritical and even a little embarrassing to help people put such effort and focus into their training, without helping with the one thing that was likely to have the biggest impact on them progressing towards their goals. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Since then we’ve been giving you everything you wanted to achieve from changing the way you eat, without all the things you feared would be part of the process. ⁠Changing habits is already challenging, we're here to make it easier, not more painful.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
DM us to get started! If you're not a member you can get involved too, DM us for more info.

Just 8 spaces left!⁠
⁠

⁠
This will be an inclusive partner workout on Sunday 28th November (09:00, 10:05, 11:10 or 12:15) and you can bring a friend who is not already a member for free! ⁠
⁠
The workout will be done in your pair and will be accessible and scaled for people of all experiences and abilities. Same sex or mixed gender pairs and mixed ability pairs will all be accommodated - to register just send us a DM with your preferred session time.⁠ 🤳

Recovery - likely the biggest thing you could leverage to make progress in training and build a healthy body and mind.⁠ 💪 🧠
⁠⠀
For many of us it's normal to think about starting / increasing exercise at this time of year. But it's the time in between training sessions where we have the opportunity to restore our bodies, build longevity and where the gains are really made! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Sometimes this means total rest, but can also be pro-active: at Movement Labs we do mobility work, breathwork and even cold exposure to enhance joint health, reduce stress and even improve sleep and your immune system.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Heath and wellness is a multi-faceted pursuit, so we try and look at the big picture. What are you doing this weekend to give your body some love?

We’re pushing, pulling, jumping, sweating and even smiling our way through another week!⠀
⠀
One of the principles or our training is variance, which is important for 3 reasons:⠀
⠀
1. It helps you become more physically capable in as many different ways as possible ⠀
⠀
2. It keeps you progressing, not allowing your body to stagnate within an unchanging routine ⠀
⠀
3. It’s interesting, fun and keeps you engaged for the long term ⠀
⠀
If you want to come and mix it up with us then shoot us a DM for week of free training!
