After the holiday period, nutrition is at the forefront of most of our minds. To get the ball rolling, we are holding a nutrition seminar this Saturday, 18th January at 13:00 after Strength and this is free to all members and friends of Sleven!

Sleven would like to thank everyone who attended our XMAS EXTRAVAGANZA! We had a fantastic time and hope your heads weren’t too sore on Sunday morning. The day started with our world famous “12 Days of Christmas” WOD before heading over to the Blues Kitchen in Shoreditch for a delicious lunch and later the Queen’s Head for shenanigans and merriment!

This is our last newsletter of 2019. We’ll be back on Wednesday 8th of January with plenty of content for you in 2020. From the whole Sleven team, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Nutrition plays a huge role in your performance both in and out of the gym and to provide you with more detailed and structured nutrition support, we are pleased to announce a partnership with pH Nutrition, the UK’s leading CrossFit nutrition coaching service.

SLEVEN XMAS Extravaganza

Remember, the venue has changed for the Christmas meal! We will now be luncheoning at the Blues Kitchen Shoreditch before getting Uber’d at no extra cost to you, to our original venue, The Old Queen’s Head.

Check out the updated schedule below!

SLEVEN Testing Week

SPECIALISTS BEWARE: Sleven testing week is back! In June, you were put to the task with five devilishly difficult WODs during our summer Testing Week. As a training methodology, CrossFit develops your general physical preparedness. As such, each WOD has been devised to expose your weaknesses. We are going to test pretty much everything: both Olympic Lifts, squat and deadlift, some Open-style CrossFit, gymnastics, and plenty of metabolic conditioning.

SLEVEN XMAS Extravaganza

There are now over 60 people attending the SLEVEN XMAS EXTRAVAGANZA! We have booked out the Old Queen’s Head in Islington and have prepared a day chock full of activities. If you’ve been on the fence about coming, EVERYONE is going to be there so make sure you don’t get FOMO and book!

Last weekend, we had four of our own compete at Battle for Middle Ground, one of the biggest fitness competitions in the UK. The standard was unbelievably high, in the Elite division, our team went toe-to-toe with athletes like Mitch Adams, who has competed at regionals five times!

The good times at Sleven keep on rolling and hot on the tails of our announcement of the SLEVEN STRENGTH SPECIAL, we’ve got another brilliant workshop for you on Saturday, 7th of December from 14:00-15:00.

Pricing Changes

Last week, we informed you that our prices are increasing TOMORROW. As a valued member, you have an opportunity to defer the price increase if you ACT NOW.

The Sleven Open Results

After much conjecture, 20.5 ended up being a leg scorcher with advanced gymnastics! We rounded off the Open with another fantastic Friday night at Sleven. 20.5, with wall-balls and rowing, was another quad-ravaging workout, and the ring muscle-ups and pull-ups served to blow-up the shoulders! The WOD required an excellent level of gymnastic endurance to be able to perform the high volume of muscle-ups while blowing hard from the conditioning elements of the WOD. We’re proud that two of our athletes completed the workout and eight more performed at least 30 muscle-ups!
