Who's legs hurt? Mine do!! Strange how 150 wall balls and some "running" will do that to you!
She's not only brutal when programming workouts, but while on the last day of a 3 day fast, Hannah decides to put a mouth watering chicken soup in the slow cooker! Cheers buddy!!!

I know what you're thinking...due to having sometime off over Xmas, the assault bikes are broken! Clearly that's what the issue was, the calories just weren't counting up like the used to.
There's no way it has anything to do with the turkey and the stuffing and the parsnips and the mince pies and the heroes and the doughnuts and ice cream (clearly Xmas food)!
Nope, it's the bikes!

To all of you lovely bad asses, a very, very Merry Christmas. I hope that you are planning huge amounts of fun and good times with loved ones. Over indulge, put your feet up and enjoy a few thoroughly deserved days off.
I would like to personally thank you all for what has been a truly memorable end of year. I have had to deal with some significant adversity throughout this year, but have come out of it smiling. All and only due to an amazing team and the unbreakable community that you all continue to uphold and develop. We are better and stronger for it, determined to make 2018 a fucking cool year for all of you.
Big things are coming your way, some planned over a few too many beers the night before the 12 Days of Xmas WoD. Surprisingly, they were all pretty well thought out and not surprisingly, very, very cool.
In years past, and for one reason only, it has been hard for me to stand in front of you all at the Xmas party as one unit; no longer. I could not have been more proud to address you all and deliver those so well deserved, justified awards. The noise after every name was announced, is something that will make me smile each time it crosses my mind, and for a long time to come.
Thank you all so much for making that evening a highlight of the year, and an epic beginning to the silly season! #thebestchristmasyet

As a small treat to you, and you may have already noticed, we have a BRAND NEW WEBSITE!
Have a flick through, enjoy, share and comment away. It has taken a lot of hard work and all the thanks goes to Sash the IT ninja! What a hero he is. Sash has so much time on his hands in fact, that he has offered to do websites for everyone at the box! He loves it!
There are a few tweaks still to be made, more and more to add. But Merry Christmas from us all at Reebok CrossFit Cardiff. Big love and see you all for burpees tomorrow.
Thanks you,
Davs.

Hail Mary! Weirdly enough, she bites really hard!
So the time is near, only another day before I really have to start my Christmas shopping. I'm especially looking forward to drinking coffee with all the other male members of the box, while on a break from testing their hard earned fitness about Cardiff City centre; pushing and pulling people out of the way, sprinting from shop to shop while farmers carrying bags full of de-icer, air fresheners and other pointless MAN gifts. You lucky ladies.
