Buffalo Strength

We were relatively fortunate as there was no surge last night and everything is relatively ship shape. That said the lifting platform will be out of order until I can ensure the mats underneath are dry.

I'll be opening the gym from 12pm today and you can use it as normal (minus the platform which will have a big notice on it).

Hey all, given the severity of the typhoon I'll be shutting the gym for today and (hopefully) re-opening tomorrow at 8am. The lifting platform needs to be deconstructed and moved along with a few other items like the dip station. Last time we had a typhoon this severe (Mangkhut in 2018) the whole place was flooded, so hopefully we don't get a repeat this time.

Stay safe.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
Good gentlefolk of all sorts, I hereby welcome you to the FIRST ANNUAL BUFFALO GAMES.

We started Bufalo Strength five years ago, so to commemeorate the date of July 22nd 2023 we will be holding COMPETITIVE FEATS OF STRENGTH.

This competition will be hosted near the Silvermine hotel on Mui Wo beach. All athletes must compete raw (i.e. no squat suits, straps, no weight belts, no knee wraps).

The events are:-

1. 40KG Log Press
2. 100LB Sandbag Carry
3. 4KG-40KG Kettlebell Toss
4. Maximum Deadlift
5. Maximum Clean to Front Squat
6. Farthest 20kg Plate Pull on a battle rope.

(I'm welcome to feedback for additional or replacement events).

May the winds be ever at your hide, brave warriors. I offer my humblest prayers to your glutes, lumbar muscles and latissimi. Let's have a celeberation of your strength: be you athlete, amateur or the incredible hulk.

UPDATE: As things don't seem to be a fraction as bad as anticipated the gym will be open as usual.

Out of an abundance of caution the gym will be closed tomorrow as we'll need to deconstruct and move the lifting platform. Our windows were breached when Mangkhut hit in 2018 so we want to prepare properly this time. Everyone will have a day added to their membership. Stay safe.

We pride ourself on our welcoming, slightly goofy atmosphere and dedication to seeing everyone improve at whatever discipline or goal they pursue.

Thanks for your continued support in a very difficult, pandemic afflicted 2021 everyone. As a token of our gratitude, we've cooked up a doozy of an offer for 2022. I've been adamant for a long time that strength training is for everyone regardless of age, ability or gender so I encourage you all to come check us out. Weights are a great prescription for a lot of what ails you, including the blues. You'll find a great cross section of friendly Mui Wo people and (I modestly contest) the best equipped gym on the island. Come keep it tight at Buffalo Strength.

Hey guys, we're again looking for someone to help cover weekends and some weekday evenings at the gym. Pay is $70/hour for +/- 24 hours a week. The job is pretty simple and entry level, but previous cleaning experience would be preferred. Ideally I'd be looking for a commitment of at least six months.

Well everybody, it's been a hellish two months without the gym and, of course, without you all. Even you people who fill up your water bottles from the dispenser right before you leave, I've missed you too.

This Thursday we'll re-open and your memberships will activate again. Your codes should work as normal but if there are any issues fire me an e-mail at [email protected]. Some points to note:

1. Even if you've been keeping active in the meantime remember that strength diminishes if not used. Don't try and go for your regular numbers, consider working at a lower intensity with higher volume. Your strength will be back before you know it so no need to rush things.

2. I'll post an updated class schedule once we've sorted things out with trainers.

3. Our jiu jitsu area has been completely refurbished with some inspirational quotes on the wall. We'll be starting up again soon but in the meantime please feel free to use the new space for your stretching, rolling and so on.

4. Covid control measures remain in place. Please wear a mask in the gym when not performing strenuous exercise. Keep your distance at all times. Sanitize hands before and after workouts.

Kisses

I wish the government would try and set out an accurate timefame cos it's heartbreaking having to make these announcements every week.

That said the current social distancing measures have been extended to February 17th, i.e. after CNY. After that we can hopefully re-open.

All your memberships remain paused 🙁

The Government announced on February 2 that it has gazetted directions and specifications under the Prevention and Control of Disease (Requirements and Directions) (Business and Premises)...
