UR APRIL Round Up
Morning Crew,
April was another great one at Urban Gym.
Plenty of laughs, major milestones, competition weekends, and new faces on the team, it was another month that captured what we’re all about:
Training for life. Together.
Member Highlights
We kicked off the month with a bit of chaos on April 1st.
“NAPDADS” our very real recovery class for sleep-deprived dads caught more than a few people off guard.
No nap pods. No recovery rooms. No managed wake-ups.
Just a good laugh to start the month.
To all the dads running on caffeine and broken sleep, we see you.
Business Awards Finalists
A proud moment for Urban Gym this month.
We’ve been shortlisted for:
Business of the Year (2–20 Employees)
Operational Excellence Award
To be recognised alongside so many strong local businesses means a lot and it reflects the people behind Urban more than anything else.
Thank you for being part of it.
HYROX Poland
A huge well done to everyone who travelled to Poland for HYROX.
This weekend wasn’t about medals, it was about what it took to get there.
Months of consistency, showing up and working through challenges.
A few standout moments:
Tina pushing through illness to compete
George completing HYROX solo after brain surgery last year
Jack, Theon, and Chris hitting personal bests
Rebecca achieving a sub 1:20 while balancing everything life throws at her
A reminder that these events don’t define you but reveal what your training has built.
Welcome to the Team, Rob!
April also brought a huge addition to the Urban team.
We’re delighted to officially welcome Rob as our new Gym Manager.
Rob brings over 10 years of coaching experience across strength training, rehab, performance, and helping people build confidence in what their bodies can do.
His coaching background, knowledge, and approach make him a huge addition to Urban.
But beyond that, he’s a brilliant person and a perfect fit for the culture we’re building here.
If you haven’t met Rob yet, make sure to say hello and give him a proper Urban welcome!
