Morning Team,

Summer’s flying so I hope you’ve been soaking up every bit of sunshine you can!

Whether you’ve been hitting the mats hard or balancing your training with holidays, barbecues, and beach walks, we’re here for it all.

July brought the heat (literally) with everything from HYROX simulations to deep mindset work behind the scenes and as always, you showed up with heart, hustle, and a whole lot of sweat.

Let’s take a quick look at the highlights and what’s coming next

Q3 Meet-Up & Performance Psychology Workshop

We kicked off July with our Q3 team meeting at The Brandon House Hotel, a chance for the UR crew to reset, refocus, and align for the months ahead.

We were also lucky to be joined by Richard Shanahan, Performance Psychologist for Irish Boxing, who delivered an incredible workshop packed with practical tools around mindset, focus, and performance. Huge thanks to Richard for the insight, our whole team left feeling sharper and even more ready to support you.

Grenade Hamper Winner – Lorna Ferncombe

Big congratulations to Lorna Ferncombe, winner of our Grenade hamper giveaway!

Along with the goodies, Lorna also received a 1:1 coaching consultation (for herself or a friend), kindly drawn by Richard Shanahan during our Q3 session.

Lorna’s a total ray of sunshine on the mats, and her recent 5 Google review captured the heart of what Urban Gym is all about. Thanks for the love, Lorna!

Haven’t left a review yet? We’d love to hear from you.

HYROX Sim at SETU — You Crushed It!

To everyone who braved the HYROX Simulation at @setu_arena_ on one of the hottest weekends of the year, we salute you! The grit, camaraderie, and determination were next level.

Whether you’re prepping for your first event or just pushing limits, showing up for challenges like this says everything about your mindset. You absolutely smashed it.

Special Mention – George Devanne

We want to send a huge dose of love and strength to George Devanne, a true pillar of our gym community, who recently underwent brain surgery.

George, your dedication has inspired so many of us over the years. Now it’s your time to rest, recover, and recharge. We’re all behind you and we know you’ll be back stronger than ever. You’ve got this!

Behind the Scenes – Website & System Upgrades

We’ve been making quiet moves in the background to level up our client experience:

New Website Incoming: We’re teaming up again with Paul Byrne at PBStudio to give our website a fresh new look. (He’s been with us since day one!)
System Improvements: Some recent backend upgrades are helping us keep things running smoothly, thanks for your patience during the switch!
Updated PAR-Q: It’s now easier than ever to complete your Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire, just tap the on your LegitFit app home screen. Please fill this in before your next session if you haven’t already!

What’s Next

Our current LIFT block is flying, and the vibe on the mats has been electric, from fresh faces to longtime legends, the sense of community is stronger than ever.

Urban Gym has maintained almost full capacity since January, and it’s all down to you. The way you train, support one another, and create an environment where everyone feels welcome.

We do however have a space available.. not 3, not 2, but 1 space.

If you or someone you know is ready to jump in, now’s your chance.

Here’s to another month of progress, high fives, and good craic.

Let’s keep showing up, lifting each other up, and doing what UR Gym does best.

See you on the mats,
Andy & The UR Team
