What's Been Happening At CrossFit Reading
28.8.8 Had delivery of another 200kg of weights. A great little bargain from Jordan Free Weights.
15.8.8 The news article went out today. Some great coverage for us and hopefully this will generate even more interest. Electronic version can be found here.
11.8.8 A photographer from The Reading evening post came down for Monday's session. He took some excellent pics of the guys working out and some of me on the rings. These photos will go with a Q&A segment written up for a business profile section that will go in Friday's (15.8.8) paper. This is another step in the right direction with some great coverage of CrossFit in the U.K.
July 08 We have finally found an equipment supplier that has really taken CrossFit on board and understands what we are trying to achieve. Jordan free weights has given a substantial trade discount for all CrossFit affiliates in the U.K. We hope this is the first of many long partnerships we can build as CrossFit grows from strength to strength. The service is outstanding and everyone we speak with at their offices is more than happy to help.

9/2/8 We have just secured yet another venue (Kennet Leisure Centre) for personal training sessions. There are at present no personal trainers at this venue so we are extremely appreciative of the management for allowing us to use this venue.
7/2/8 We have secured another venue (The TNT Gym) for our personal training sessions. The TNT Gym has a very good reputation amongst both trainers and trainees. It is a boxing based gym which has great equipment for CrossFit including rowers, barbells, dumbbells, punch bags and skipping ropes all of which and more will be used. We are very excited about this and feel that due to the gym and it's location it will serve our clients very well.
