Newsletter: August 2024

As we welcome August, we have some fantastic updates to share with you! First, we're excited to introduce a new piece of equipment in the gym that will take your workouts to the next level. Be sure to check it out on your next visit!

We're also pleased to announce that Nikita has successfully completed his week of work experience with us. Great job, Nikita!

Additionally, we've rolled out some updates to our fitness app, enhancing your online experience and helping you stay on track with your fitness goals.

Here's to a summer of growth, strength, and success at Elemental Fitness!

Facilities/Equipment: Elemental Fitness has made the best investment yet—just £15.00 on a set of squat wedges. While it's easy to splurge on fancy, expensive gym gear, sometimes the simplest tools are the most effective. These wedges, made from durable EPP foam, are fantastic accessories for anyone looking to improve their squat technique and build a solid foundation in mobility. We don't usually highlight such small additions in our newsletter, but these squat wedges have already made significant improvements in several clients' squats, and we felt it deserved a special mention.

Compensated Volunteer: We’re looking for someone to help keep our studio in top condition by performing essential cleaning tasks. This role is perfect for someone who values a clean environment and is passionate about martial arts, as you'll receive complimentary training sessions in exchange for your services.

If you’re interested in this unique opportunity, please contact us at [email protected] with a brief description of your interest and availability. For more information about our academy and the classes we offer, visit www.elemental-kickboxingleeds.co.uk.

We've introduced some exciting updates to our app! You can now set alternative exercises for custom routines, providing exercise variations if the primary one isn't feasible. Trainers can select from their custom exercises or any MPTH exercise as an alternative. When clients log a workout and choose 'Swap Exercise' for a custom exercise, they'll see the alternatives you’ve set.

Alternatives can be added either from the main 'Custom Exercises' area or while creating a custom exercise within a workout under the 'Create New' tab.

These new features, along with many others, make our app an incredibly functional tool that can revolutionize your training and help you achieve your goals more easily. To join and make the most of the app,click here to gain access to everything from workout and diet tracking to automatically uploading personal bests and synchronizing your fitness watches.

If you've been keeping up with the news, you may have seen that our member Nikita recently completed his week of work experience with us. He spent his time assisting with various tasks around the gym and observing how to run a business and conduct personal training sessions.

The team was impressed by Nikita's eagerness to learn and his keen interest in a career in fitness after his education. Who knows, in five years, he might be the next PT guiding you through your sessions!

In the meantime if you are interested in how Nikita would push you as a trainer, check out his workout on our fitness app here. This programme is for members only of the EKA and Elemental Fitness and is totally free!

Pads and bags are straightforward enough, but what about that odd-looking bag suspended between two bungee cords?
