Front Squat 3-3-3-3-3 Followed by a bit of energetic skill work with the 10 Minute Double Under Challenge – how many double unders can you get in 10 minutes? Everyone showed great improvement in a very short space of time especially as Callum and Sam haven’t ever tried double unders before!

Our Location page has also been [...]
