UR JANUARY Round Up
Morning Crew,
Better late than never but January moved at some pace, and it was one busy month at Urban Gym.
From podium finishes and first-time events to packed sessions, community runs, and big plans taking shape behind the scenes, 2026 has already started with serious momentum.
The energy across the gym has been outstanding, and it's been class to see the consistency and connection building week after week.
Here's a look back at January, and what's coming up next 👀
Member Highlights
January delivered a huge milestone for Urban Gym with our first-ever podium finish at a major event.
Massive congratulations to Theon, Chris, Draven, and Jack, who placed third at TRYKA. A brilliant achievement and a real reflection of the work they've put in over time.
Huge credit as well to Tina, Rachel, Denise, Sabrina, William, Laura Furlong, Sophie Doyle, Ian Flood and Aisling O'Connor who all flew around the course and represented Urban Gym with pride and grit.
And a special mention to Chris Maxwell, who completed his first HYROX event in Manchester earlier this month. A massive personal milestone and one to be proud of.
Moments like these show what's possible when consistency, coaching, and community come together.
