Murph Day – 25 May
Join us for our annual fun day of suffering through this
legendary workout. Time to test your squat, pull-ups and push-ups endurance…
and let’s not forget the runners’ delight: buy-in and buy-out miles (we see you
running haters hiding behind the AB machines… come out and plaaay). For those
discovering Murph for the first time: the ultimate CrossFit hero wod.

Running Workship #2 – 7 June
The first outdoor running workshop at Parc
Cinquantenaire was a hit, muscle soreness was real and techniques were
perfected. Don’t miss the second session. Get out of the box and throw
your running shoes on with coach Roman. Be ready to set the Cinquentenaire
track on fire! For newcomers, make the most of the impressive world class
running experience led by former Romanian Athletics Federation pro runner turned
coach Roman ☺ (and he’s super nice)

Summer Comp – 4 July
It is back! Our summer team competition day just before
a lot of you go off on well-deserved break or homeland family-time. An
opportunity to start the holidays in style, leaving your homies and competitors
in the “symbolic” box dust (who said that?? We clean! It ain’t dirty!! Tsssk)
More details on the schedule of the day and workouts to come closer to date but
save the date if you haven’t already!

EU Open day 3.0
Thanks to everyone who joined our special day! You made
it what it was! Great vibes, loads of fun and fitness, and the sun was smiling
on us as we enjoyed coffee and granola bowls. For the non-instagrammers among
you, check out our aftermovie here.

News & updates
● We are excited to announce we
have started a new Velites partnership (whoop whoop), bringing you even
more choices for gear and clothes. You can find all their products online and let us know anything you’d
like to order. You will get a 10% discount through WB and save on the
shipment fees. In the meantime and before the first official order, STMN
products are still available to you and we still have plenty of stock of ropes,
wristbands and grips. While Velites has a wider range of products and clothes -
both STMN and TYR products remain great options if you prefer those.
● 🥣 **You tried them at Saturday’s event…
now they’re available at the gym!**
o
A
huge thank you to everyone who joined us last Saturday and (re)tested some of
the (new) food & beverage options we offer at the gym 👊
o
After
all the positive feedback, we’re happy to officially (re)introduce a selection
of healthier, performance-oriented snacks and hydration products:
### 🥣 L!FT High-Protein Granola
A natural, high-protein granola
made with:
- * Vegan ingredients
- * No artificial sweeteners
- * No ultra-processed ingredients
A perfect alternative to
supermarket granolas loaded with sugar and additives.
### 🧇 Lehios Protein Waffles
Lehios recently improved their
recipe and the result is honestly impressive:
- * Softer texture
- * Easier to digest
- * Better taste
They now come frozen, making them
super practical:
- * Ready in just a few minutes in
the toaster or microwave
- * Stay fresh up to 10 days once
defrosted
👉 Available individually
👉 Packs of 10 available via pre-order only
### 🍫 L!FT Protein & Energy Bars
Perfect for:
- * A quick pre-workout energy
boost
- * A post-training protein snack
- * Busy days on the go
Like the granola, they contain
only natural ingredients and no artificial nonsense.
### 💧 Drink Salt Electrolytes
With summer coming and training
volume increasing, hydration matters ☀️
Drink Salt electrolytes are an
excellent option for:
- * Long runs
- * HYROX sessions
- * Hot training days
- * Recovery and hydration support
Best served ice-cold 🧊
The taste may surprise you at
first… but the benefits are real.
### 🍪 Protein Cookies
Both Lehios and L!FT also offer
high-protein cookies.
Different textures, different
styles — try them and decide which one is to be your favorite 😄
📍 **Where to find them?**
- * L!FT products (bars &
granola) are available directly in the vending machine or at the desk
- * Lehios waffles can be purchased
individually at the gym
- * Bulk waffle orders must be
pre-ordered
● As you might have seen on the
whiteboard (hopefully), we will be reinstating burpee-penalties for latecomers
(not really a punishment, just more fitness ;)). After 2min past the class
start time, you will have to perform 10 burpees per extra minute late. We can
totally understand traffic, work, and impatient bosses getting in the way,
however we would appreciate some sense or urgency when you finally make it to
the box, rather than chatting and wandering around while both members and the
coach are waiting for you 🙂
● Inevitably, with warm weather and
sunny days comes more running. A delight for some, a nightmare for others..
Running is a critical component of your fitness and we will keep including
it in our programming. However, please be mindful of how you behave when
running on the sidewalks and outside in the street. Some of our neighbours are
of older age and one is even blind. They have reached out to express their
concern when they see groups of people running mindlessly in the street - and
we can understand how that can make them uncomfortable. Thus, we kindly ask you to
be mindful, respectful and careful every time you step outside: the safety of
others comes before a 10s PR on your workout 🙂
