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! 

There are several purposes for the seminar. Firstly, it's a chance for us to introduce you to Liam and why we chose pH Nutrition. We will also be introducing you to Tom McClure, who will be our on-site nutrition coach. Importantly, Tom is a CrossFitter and you'll soon see him working out alongside you! He is highly experienced working in the industry as a Personal Trainer, CrossFit Coach and now a qualified Sport Nutritionist. Tom has provided nutrition coaching for a range of athletes, including members of Team GB Special Olympics squad, Colchester United FC, Northampton Saints Rugby Academy and Saracens Rugby Academy players.

Secondly, it's an opportunity for us to answer any questions you may have regarding nutrition. Topics we'll be covering include:

  • Principles of nutrition for CrossFit
  • Timing of nutrition around training
  • Practical advice for fat loss and muscle gain
  • Nutrition for weightlifting, endurance and gymnastics
  • How to fuel before, during and after competitions
  •  How to implement veganism into your diet while doing CrossFit

If you have a question that you would like to ask, please email us below and we'll be sure to include it in the seminar.

Support Australia Fundraiser

b24d363d 6057 439d a928 d11dca297bf5

The world has been watching aghast at the terrible bush fires raging in Australia this past month. No more than Coach Loren whose family and friends are directly affected by this terrible tragedy. In an attempt to help, Sleven will be running a charity fundraiser on Sunday 26th January at 11:00, which is also Australia Day.

The class is available for booking on Wodify NOW! The class is available to all members and friends of Sleven so bring your family, partners, friends and animal companions down to the box!

The Support Australia Fundraiser is free to attend (it won't count against your class packs) but we'll be asking all attendees to please donate a minimum £10 to the below Just Giving page in support of the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army in Australia has been on hand providing immediate practical assistance and emotional support to people fleeing their homes from the devastating bushfires as well as supporting firefighters in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, which are the hardest hit states.

If you donated to the bank account we put up last week, we have transferred the donation to the Just Giving account.
