WoD - Wednesday 5th July 2017

Evening all. Alongside this workout update, I write to give you guys some news which I am sure many of you have actually already heard.

For many years, Brad has been the Head Coach of Reebok CrossFit Cardiff. He has guided you through workouts with support and passion, teaching you how to perform some of the more difficult movements as well as the easier ones. He has helped many of you fulfil your fitness goals and smash training targets.

Brad is now moving on to pursue other ventures. The entire team here at CrossFit Cardiff, and I’m sure it’s members too, wish him the very best for the future. 

That being said, there are exciting times ahead for CrossFit Cardiff. Keep your eyes peeled for some big changes to your box, starting next week. You won't have to look hard...

We are launching a new marketing campaign based around any old pictures of members that can be photoshopped to look like the attached. 

Please, if anyone knows of anything as wonderful as Woody posing for a stop smoking banner then I NEED to know about it. The only thing that has come remotely close so far is a picture that I was made aware of with Louisa posing for the cover of a soft porn novel; or so it looked! Why let the truth get in the way of a good story hey! ;-) 
 

Sorry Woody!! It definitely was NOT your husband that sent me the original!
