A little Valkyrie upgrade incoming… 👀🔨

& by little, we mean HUGE.

If you’ve been wondering what that mountain of flooring is doing in the corner of reception😭😂

This Sunday night we’re replacing the gym floor with new, more durable gym matting throughout the main training space.

Our current flooring simply hasn’t stood up to the level of footfall and training it’s had since we opened - which, while slightly inconvenient, is a pretty good problem to have🥹🤍

Upgrading the flooring has become a priority because it’ll give us:

1. The best training surface for our Valkyrie girlies
2. A more durable surface for our growing community
3. Something much easier to clean and maintain (for all our clean gyals🧼✨)
4. To ensure Valkyrie looks and feels as good as possible

It’s a BIG job, so Mark Alexander and the team will basically be pulling an all-nighter to get it done with as little disruption to you as possible😂

The gym will therefore be CLOSED this Sunday from 6PM and will reopen Monday at 6AM.

AND while we’re talking upgrades…
Our new lighter dumbbells are arriving later this week! 🏋🏼‍♀️ (because lateral raises are humbling enough and a 2.5kg jump is criminal x)

The delivery time was a little longer than we were willing to wait, so naturally… Mark is going to collect them himself😂 his terrible patience works to all our advantage so tysm.

We’re constantly listening, tweaking and investing back into Valkyrie to make your training space better.

Thank you for bearing with us while we get this one done.
It will be so worth it🖤

Always building. Always improving. ⚔️

GYM CLOSURE🖤

A little heads up for this Saturday, 29th August!

To allow us to set up and clear away for our Members’ Event, the gym will be temporarily closed for normal training from:

11AM — 3:30PM

Our members event will be running from 12–3PM, and we need a little time either side to get everything ready (and put Valkyrie back together afterwards 😂).

We know how important 24/7 access is to our members, so we’ve kept the closure to the shortest window possible. The gym will reopen as normal from 3:30PM.

Thank you for understanding🖤

TWO WEEKS TO GO!🤩🤩

Our Members’ Appreciation Event is almost here, so here’s your little guide to the afternoon..

The schedule is just there so you can catch what you want, when you want🙏🏼🙏🏼 whether you want to get stuck in to every workshop and challenge or prefer to watch and absorb.. the afternoon is yours to enjoy however you wish🖤 grab a matcha, chat with the girls, and enjoy the vibe your way.

& honestly… there’s loads happening off the schedule too.

Our coaches, inc Emma and Lauren, will be floating around all afternoon running challenges, demos, mini activities and sharing tips, so you’ll have plenty of chances to get involved, learn something new and have a bit of fun with the team.

Premium Matcha Events will be serving up their 10/10 matcha 🍵

PLEASE READ!! 📣

Following on from our gym etiquette guide, we want to put a little more emphasis on filming within the gym and finding the right balance for everyone at Valkyrie🖤

We absolutely want to champion the girls who film themselves!! whether that’s to check form, track progress, celebrate a PB, build confidence, document your journey or create content. For some women, having the confidence to put that camera up is a huge achievement, and we’re cheering you on👏🏼👏🏼

But women empowering women also means being considerate of those who don’t want to be on camera. That could be for confidence, privacy, personal, cultural or religious reasons.

& those choices deserve exactly the same respect.

So with that in mind, if you are filming, please be really mindful of your setup🙏🏼 your camera should be focused on YOU and your immediate training space, rather than capturing a large area of the gym or multiple members unnecessarily. Take a moment to check your angles, bring your camera closer or reposition if needed, and of course never intentionally film another member without their permission.

We will be monitoring this more closely going forward to make sure everyone feels comfortable within Valkyrie. This isn’t about discouraging filming. FAR from it. It’s about finding a respectful balance.

We can celebrate the woman confident enough to put the camera up AND protect the woman who do not want to be in front of one.

Neither should have to sacrifice her comfort for the other💛

PLEASE READ!!🖤

From the beginning, we’ve intentionally limited Mark’s time in Valkyrie because we genuinely thought that was the best way to respect members who train with us for cultural, religious or personal reasons and want a completely male-free environment.

But if we’re being real… it’s actually been to our detriment. There are so many day-to-day jobs involved in keeping Valkyrie looking, feeling and running at the standard we want, and keeping Mark - one half of the sibling duo behind it all (the less cool half, obviously🤣🤣) - away from the gym has made that harder than it needs to be.

So, 11am-2pm will now be Mark’s daily access window. That doesn’t mean he’ll be here for the full three hours; it simply gives him the freedom to pop in, get things done and help keep Valkyrie at its best.

It also gives our girls a clear window to plan around if having a completely male-free environment is important to them🫶🏼

A small change that we think will make a big difference to Valkyrie.

& with making the best experience for our community in mind!!

R&M x
