UR August Round Up
Morning Team,
Summer has flown and so have the results on the mats.
From finishing one LIFT block strong to kicking off a brand-new cycle, plus big member moments in and out of the gym, August was another one to remember.
Here’s a quick look back and a peek at what’s on the horizon.
Back-to-School = Back-to-Training
September is the ultimate reset button. With kids back in school and routines falling back into place, it’s the perfect time to refocus on yourself.
If you’ve taken a break or you’re ready to start fresh, this block is built to meet you where you’re at. Reach out to book a consultation, let’s get you moving, lifting, and feeling good again.
New Lift Block Kicked Off
We wrapped August by rolling straight into our new 8-week LIFT block and the buzz has been fantastic.
Our last cycle showed brilliant consistency (even through the holidays!) and that hard work now sets the stage for the next phase.
Expect slightly higher rep ranges in the big lifts to drive hypertrophy (muscle building) alongside skill work in movements like pull-ups.
SWEAT sessions mix it up with: longer aerobic pieces on Tuesdays, short-sharp intervals on Thursdays, and the always-popular Saturday team workouts to close out the week.
What’s On This September
ATHX RDS Dublin → Several UR members will be repping hard at ATHX in Dublin this month — best of luck to everyone competing and connecting with the wider fitness community.
Run Club Returns → We’ll be announcing details very soon — another chance to get outside, move, and connect beyond the mats.
