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!

One for Sleven's ladies! If you enjoyed the SLEVEN STRENGTH SPECIAL with Sarah, you'll have another opportunity to benefit from her coaching at the Strong Girls Club on Sunday 12 January.  This is an afternoon of lifting and learning at Sleven with a group of other strong girls. You'll get getting coaching from Sarah on your lifts, technique and training.

Sarah will be joined by Linn Mayhew. Both Sarah and Linn compete internationally at Masters level, and have competed at English National level. Linn is a BWL 1 Coach who has medalled at several international competitions, Sarah is a BWL 2 Coach and Technical Official. Both have a wealth of experience of coaching all levels of weighlifter.

On the day, you'll spend three hours learning and practising some specific exercises for the Snatch and Clean & Jerk, as well as covering some of the theory behind the lifts. You'll then receive specific, individual coaching on your own lifts from Sarah and Linn, in a relaxed and supportive environment. 

The workshop will cover some common problems with both lifts, and how to solve those using specific drills. You'll also get to practise exercises to help with anything that’s holding you back in your lifting, so you’ll have your own exercises and drills to take away and work on after the workshop.

The workshop is suitable for all levels, whether you are a CrossFitter, a weightlifter or simply curious to give weighlifting a go. This event is open to the public so if you have a friend who you think would like to join you, send them a link to get booking.

We love that there are so many strong girls getting into lifting, and we’re excited about holding the Strong Girls Club at Sleven!

If you'd like to work on your weightlifting, Sarah and Richard are available for personal training at Sleven. You can book on an individual basis, or you can get together with a group of friends and book a small group session! If you're keen but don't know anyone who would like to do it with you, write a post on the Sleven CrossFit Facebook Group and we'll try to hook you up!
