September HYROX Simulation

What a morning at The Body Barn.

Loads of PBs being set today and, more importantly, new standards to work from.

That’s exactly why we do these simulations.

See where you’re at.
See what’s improved.
Find out where you can get better.
Then get back to work.

For some today it was about beating previous times, for others it was about getting through their first full simulation and putting a marker down.

Either way, we’ve now got a new standard.

The work we’re seeing week in, week out is paying off and it showed today.

Some massive performances, but still plenty more to come.

September sim done

Now we get back to work and go again next month.

Well done everyone

The best decision I made was joining The Body Barn… I just wish I’d joined sooner.”

This is exactly what we want The Body Barn to be about.

Because joining a gym can be daunting.

Walking through the doors for the first time.
Trying a class you’ve never done before.
Being surrounded by people you don’t know.
Doing things completely outside your comfort zone.

But then something changes.

You start recognising faces.
You start building confidence.
You realise everyone is on their own journey.
You start doing things you never thought you could do.

And eventually, the place that once felt daunting becomes somewhere you genuinely look forward to coming.

That’s why this feedback means so much to us.

Yes, we want to deliver great sessions.
Yes, we want to challenge you and help you improve.

But The Body Barn has always been about more than just the workout.

It’s the coaches supporting you.

It’s the person next to you encouraging you.

It’s the atmosphere, the energy and the friendships you build along the way.

Most importantly, it’s having a place where you can walk through the doors exactly as you are and know that you’re surrounded by people who want to see you succeed.

Different people. Different goals. Different journeys. One community.

And if you’re currently thinking about joining but feeling nervous about taking that first step…

You might just end up wishing you’d done it sooner.

THE BARBELL CLUB — SESSION ONE COMPLETE

Last night was our very first Barbell Club, and what a way to start.

The focus was simple:

Master the fundamentals of the squat pattern.

Before we even thought about adding load, we broke the movement down and looked at:

▪️ Foot placement and weight distribution
▪️ Posture and body position
▪️ Knee tracking
▪️ Bracing and creating tension
▪️ Bar position and bar pathway
▪️ How all of these pieces work together to create a stronger, more efficient squat

We then started progressing those fundamentals into our Front Squat, learning the rack position, how to maintain posture under the bar and how to move confidently with load.

And one thing became very clear…

An hour was nowhere near enough.

What was incredible was seeing how much people’s movement changed in such a short space of time.

Small adjustments.
Better understanding.
More confidence.
Better positions.

That is exactly what Barbell Club is about.

It isn’t about seeing how much weight we can throw on a bar.

It’s about learning how to lift properly.

Understanding the WHY behind the movement, developing the positions and building the foundations that will eventually allow us to become stronger and more confident with a barbell.

Session 1 ✅ Squat Fundamentals

And we’ve only just started.

Next stop… Session 2.

BANK HOLIDAY STAFF CPD

A different kind of Bank Holiday for the team today.

Taking time out for staff CPD — education, learning and development.

For us, it’s important that we’re all singing from the same hymn sheet — understanding not just what we deliver, but why we deliver it and how we coach it.

Developing our knowledge.
Improving our coaching.
Creating consistency across the team.
Sharing ideas and learning from each other.

Ultimately, the more we develop as coaches, the better experience we can give every person who walks through our doors.

Better coaches. Better standards. Better experience.

🧡🖤 REVIEW OF THE WEEK 🖤🧡

Another BIG week at The Body Barn!

🏃 RUN CLUB & 5K → 10K
The miles keep building and we’re seeing more of the group graduating towards that 10K distance. Some started the year doing little to no running — now they’re running 10K! That’s what consistency can do. 👏

🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️ SOPHIE SHIPLEY — IRONMAN LEEDS
An incredible achievement from Sophie, completing the event in around 12 hours. Unfortunately the swim was cancelled, but that takes nothing away from the months of work and commitment. An inspiration to others — and already looking at what she can conquer next year! 🔥

🏃 SAM — ELLESMERE 10K
Official time 50:43 with the goal being sub-50. Just 44 seconds away — we’re getting VERY close! 👀

🏋️‍♂️ BEN & ERRIC — ATHX BIRMINGHAM
The lads took on ATHX — a hybrid fitness competition testing strength, endurance and conditioning. Another great example of taking all that gym training and putting it to the test!

🔥 BACK AT THE BARN
Classes have been CRAZY busy this week, with clients really stepping up their training, pushing harder and building momentum.

From first 10Ks to Ironman, ATHX, PB chasing and packed classes…

Everyone’s challenge looks different — the important thing is that we keep moving forward.

Another brilliant week. 🧡🖤

BARBELL CLUB IS COMING THIS SEPTEMBER 🏋️

Want to feel more confident with a barbell and actually understand how to lift properly?

Barbell Club is a coached class designed to teach you the foundations of strength training and Olympic weightlifting.

Whether you’re completely new to lifting, or you’ve been training for a while but know your technique could be better, we’re going to break everything down step by step.

Across the programme, we’ll work through:

🏋️ Squats
🏋️ Deadlifts
🏋️ Overhead Press
🏋️ Front Squats
🏋️ Cleans
🏋️ Snatches
🏋️ Clean & Jerks

But here’s the important part…

THE FIRST 8 WEEKS ARE ALL ABOUT THE FOUNDATIONS.

We’re not interested in seeing who can put the most plates on the bar.

We want you to understand:

→ How to set up correctly
→ Where your body and the bar should be throughout the lift
→ How to brace and create stability
→ How to control the barbell
→ How mobility affects your lifting
→ How to recognise and correct poor technique
→ When you’re actually ready to add more weight

Technique first. Load second.

Then, once those foundations are established, Barbell Club will begin progressing into more advanced movements, Olympic lifting and more detailed programme design.

ALREADY LIFT?

WHAT’S OUR SEPTEMBER TIMETABLE LOOKING LIKE? 👀

To be honest… it’s MASSIVE.

And that’s exactly how we want it.

At The Body Barn, we know not everyone enjoys the same style of training. Some people want to lift heavy. Some want to sweat. Some want to run. Some want to box. Some want HYROX. And some just want to move, feel better and train with a great group of people.

That’s why September is all about CHOICE. L

🏋️ Strength & resistance
🔥 High-energy functional training
🥊 Boxing
🚴 Ride
🏃 Run Club
⚡ HYROX training
🏋️‍♂️ Barbell Club
🧘 Mobility & recovery
💥 Plus our signature Body Barn sessions

Different sessions. Different challenges. Different training styles.

Every single day gives you an opportunity to train differently.

You might be building strength one day, working your engine the next, learning a new skill, hitting a run, or jumping into a session purely because you love it.

You don’t have to be a “runner”.
You don’t have to be a “lifter”.
You don’t have to be a “HYROX athlete”.

You can just be someone who enjoys training.

And in September, there’s going to be A LOT to choose from. 👀

Possibly our biggest timetable yet.

September at The Body Barn is going to be something else
