UR April Round-Up
Morning Team,
What a month April has been, packed with laughs, lifts, riverside runs, and community wins. Let’s take a look back (and forward!) at what’s been happening at Urban Gym.
April Fools - Urban Paws
We started the month with a bark! Our April Fools prank got some great laughs both in the gym and online. While we won’t be launching “pawtner workouts” or “kennel bell swings” anytime soon, it was amazing to see so many of your furry friends at our latest Run Club event. You brought the energy and the wagging tails.
UR Run Club x Heron Sauna
What a morning! Our second Run Club of the year took us to the stunning trails of St. Mullins, where over 30 of us ran, jogged, and walked riverside followed by a truly unforgettable experience with Heron Sauna.
Sauna, cold plunge, river dip, good chats…pure magic. Huge thanks to Eoghan, Ryan & Aaron for the hospitality.
Wexford Chamber Business Awards
We’re honoured to be shortlisted for Business of the Year at this year’s awards (May 23rd at Clayton Whites Hotel).
After winning Service Provider of the Year last year, this nomination means the world to us.
Thank YOU, our amazing Urban Gym community, none of this would be possible without your daily support.
New LIFT Block
April wrapped with the launch of a brand-new LIFT block and the energy has been amazing.
You’ve been smashing PBs, conquering first pull-ups and press-ups, and hitting serious body composition goals.
Shoutout to our most recent nutrition block intake, you dropped over 100lbs collectively! That’s real dedication.
Next up: UR Summer Games… keep grinding!
UR Podcast Continues
The UR Podcast is in full swing, and we’re diving into the real stuff, the challenges, wins, and everything in between from life on (and off) the gym floor.
In April, we dropped two new episodes that really struck a chord with our community:
Episode 3: Taking UR First Step – Andy and Ken explore how to overcome fear, doubt, and self-talk when starting (or restarting) your fitness journey.
Episode 4: Training Through Grief – A powerful solo episode where Andy shares his personal experience of navigating training after the loss of his dad.
These conversations are real, raw, and rooted in the everyday experiences we all face. Whether you're working through injury, parenthood, life transitions or just need a little inspiration, there’s something here for you.
