UR November Round Up
November at Urban Gym brought the heat between big events, big moments, and a whole lot of community magic.
Grab a cuppa and dive into one of our favourite months of 2025.
Men's Day was A Morning to Remember
25 men. One gym. One unreal Saturday.
Men's Day made its return this year and the lads absolutely smashed it.
From a partner warm-up to a strength & conditioning session built around teamwork and shared effort, the atmosphere was class from the first rep.
We wrapped the morning with coffee, chats, and an incredible talk from Dr. Leighann Ryan on happiness, purpose, and mindset.
The honesty and engagement in the room were unreal.
But the real standout?
The connection, laughs, support and the reminder that training together builds far more than fitness.
To everyone who showed up, you made it what it was!
Welcome to the Team, Coach Hannah!
We're buzzing to officially welcome Coach Hannah McKevitt to the Urban Gym coaching crew!
Hannah has spent the last month shadowing the team and settling in, and she's already a brilliant fit with a sharp coaching eye, positive energy, and a genuine passion for helping people grow.
Here's a little from Hannah herself:
"I'm Hannah! Born in Cork, raised in Duncormick, and always involved in sport playing GAA, basketball, athletics, even archery. I studied Health & Exercise Science at SETU Waterford and worked in Cardiac Rehab and Active Club. I love helping people build confidence and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach. I'm thrilled to join the Urban team."
Make sure to say hello when you see her on the mats as she's already making a huge impact.
UR Winter Games & Social. One Incredible Day
What a way to close out the month.
Our biggest community event of the year, UR Winter Games absolutely delivered.
From the strength opener to the endurance grinder to the spicy metcon finale, the atmosphere was unreal.
Teams pushed hard, supported each other, and brought the kind of energy that defines Urban Gym.
And we didn't stop there.
That night, we rolled straight into the UR Winter Social, and it was every bit as memorable.
Huge thanks to Frank and the crew at Foley's in Newbawn for hosting us, and to the legend himself, Jack Gladney, for the live music (and for tolerating Andy's endless Oasis requests).
The craic was top tier.
Together, the Games and Social captured everything Urban stands for!
Community, connection, and celebrating the wins both on and off the mats.
HYROX Dublin. Massive Effort From UR Team.
A huge shout-out to our athletes who took on HYROX Dublin this month:
Ian, Theon, Jack, Rachel, Cora & Sinead, your grit, teamwork, and "just keep going" attitude were inspiring from start to finish.
Serious work. Serious lungs. Serious effort. 💪🔥
Finish the Year Strong
December is shaping up to be full of festive fun, strong training blocks, and momentum rolling straight into 2026.
We also have limited membership spaces heading into the new year.
If you've got someone who wants to get started before January madness hits, now's the time to nudge them.
Thanks for another incredible month, team.
Here's to a strong, connected, festive December at Urban Gym 💚🖤
As always, see you on the mats,
See you on the mats,
Andy & The UR Team
