FK.UK Associates: Three New Associates join FK.UK

FK.UK is extremely happy to announce the addition of three Associates to the Team.

These are, in alphabetical order:

The Box: Mark Cooper
CrossFit Reading: Andy Craig
SPQR Fitness: Stephen Hollingdale


This Associate scheme is initially a link up of 3 functional fitness organisations under the FK.UK 'umbrella', combining forces in many different aspects in order to help progress functional fitness specifically within the UK.

The combined wealth, depth and mix of skills & experience of these 3 functional fitness practitioners will be invaluable in pushing forward the aims and objectives of this collaboration including:

* Advancing and developing a UK-Centric functional fitness community and organisation in FK.UK
* Advancing and developing the awareness, interest and participation in functional fitness in the UK, with particular regard to Olympic Lifting.
* Advancing and developing each other and ourselves as proponents of this functional fitness community in FK.UK
* Advancing and developing links between other functional fitness organisations and communities within the UK, in FK.UK, in order to help make the wealth of coaching experience in the UK more accessible to all.

This is certainly a simplified summary of the basis of the Associate relationship. and these aims and objectives will develop along with FK.UK as we move forward.

In the meantime, a very warm welcome to Andy and Mark to the Team, and Stephen to his new role within it.
