One Year - Two New Moderators

So...

As FK.UK moves into Year 2 , two familiar members of the forum have kindly accepted my invitation to join Team FK.UK as moderators.

Please join me in welcoming Brew and Franz as part of Team FK.UK! :-D

Welcome on board, and thank you guys.

Your input and support past, present and future is much appreciated.

I look forward to sharing thoughts and ideas with you.

On that note - apologies for the woeful neglect of this blog recently. Will be much more regular now with the new team in place :-)

Cheers

Happy Birthday FK.UK!

All,

So...FK.UK is 1 year old today :-D

Going to keep it short (and try not to make it sound like a Oscar acceptance speech ;) )...

Well, to say it in a sentence...it's been some year!

Just wanted to say thank you to you ALL for making the forum what it is.

I take a lot from this place in a whole heap of respects - and I hope you all get just as much from here as you clearly give.

There are some top peeps on here and I'm lucky enough to have met/trained/chilled with many, and indeed to count many as friends.

I look forward to meeting more of you at meets and events in the near future too.

On that note...two good peeps have kindly agreed to become part of Team FK.UK as forum moderators - see here

Thank you guys.

Here's to the the next year.

Cheers folks :-D

FK.UK 100 Day Burpee Challenge

So...the FK.UK 100 Day Burpee Challenge is now on its 17th day.

Just in case anyone is unfamiliar with it, we started with 1 burpee on Day 1, then 2 burpees on day 2, and so on - adding one each day until we hit 100 on the 100th day.

The idea was taken from Crossfit Santa Cruz - see here for the CFSC page on rules and form standards.

Well done to all that have signed up so far, and have been nailing their burpees each day.

Here is a link to the '100 Day Burpee Challenge' thread on FK.UK.

However its not too late to join! The "buy-in" to join the challenge at any time is ALL the missed day's burpees on your first day - so to buy-in today would involve a mere 153 burpees!

To help with the counting, see below for a spreadsheet that details the number of burpees to do each day and the total number of burpees so far - or buy-in!.
(Thanks to CFSC for the original template for this.)

Here you go: Burpee Challenge Counter

There is also a simple day counter at right at the bottom of this blog for an easy reminder.

Enjoy.

CrossFit London and FK.UK

Some of you may have seen the new action-packed i-course on offer from CrossFit London...

For those that haven't - here is the link to the page on the CF London site:
CF London i-Course

FK.UK will be teaming up with CrossFit London to help deliver the first ever i-Course on Sunday 21st September.

This date is now sold out, but there are still tickets left for:
Sunday 7th November
Sunday 2nd December

6 hours of skill teaching for £70 - fantastic value.

Also, as mentioned in the CrossFit London i-Newsletter (see what I did there? ;-)), there will shortly be 5 trainers based in and around London - we are hoping to pool together to run regular CrossFit classes in a central location.

Watch this space for updates :-)

FK.UK Store Launches: Hopper Decks Now Available in the UK!

I am pleased to announce the launch of the FK.UK Store:
www.FuncKeyStore.co.uk ...

...and the availability of Hopper Decks in the UK!
As seen here:
www.hopperdeck.com
and here on the CF Games site:
http://games.crossfit.com

There's lots of new clothing on there including:
Classic red tees
Fitted 'ringer' tees
Hoodies

Also includes the classic white tees and beanies previously available.

Once again, the store website is very much a work in progress - I'm still exploring the features, etc. However thought it was time to launch, especially now that the Hopper Decks have just arrived.

Please email me at chet@funckey.co.uk with any questions regarding merchandise etc.

FK.UK Members Map

Hello All,

Welcome to the new FK.UK blog!

To kick things off...

Being trying to sort this for a while - a map where we can all post up our general location. That way we'll be able to see at a glance where our closest CrossFit Affiliates are, also how close we are to other folk we can train with, etc.

It's pretty easy to add yourself. Just click on "Join" at the top right, add your name and add your email address/a message/an image if you like. Select "FK.UK Member" or "CrossFit Affiliate" as an icon, and save.

The rest of the features are pretty self explanatory, e.g. zooming in and out of the map.

Also, it appears you can leave messages for others on the map, etc.

(Still exploring the features, so its a bit of a work in progress)

Hope that you find it of use.

Enjoy :-)
