UR MAY Round Up
Hey crew!
May has flown by, and it's been another brilliant month at Urban.
From welcoming other gym owners into our space to celebrating community milestones and seeing members take on big events, there's been a great buzz around the gym all month long.
Here's a quick look back at what's been happening, plus a few exciting things coming up.
Urban Collabs: PFS & Tailormade
We recently welcomed the guys from PFS and Luke from Tailormade into Urban.
One thing they both highlighted straight away was you, our members.
From the quality of movement on the floor to how welcoming and encouraging everyone was during sessions, they got a real feel for what Urban is all about… Fun. Functional. Friendly.
Thanks for continuing to make this place such a positive environment to train in.
Wexford Chamber Business Awards
For one night only, the coaching team swapped gym gear for suits and dresses.
While we didn't come home with a trophy this year, being shortlisted alongside some of Wexford's top businesses was something we were hugely proud of.
Apparently we also picked up the unofficial award for "best cheer of the night" from Anton Savage...which honestly feels very on brand.
A massive thank you to everyone who continues to support Urban Gym.
Recognition like this reflects the strength of the community we've built together.
UR ‘Why’
Our new ‘UR Why’ video series sparked some brilliant conversations this month.
Hearing members speak honestly about why they train and whether it's for energy, confidence, mental health, performance, or simply feeling better day to day...has been powerful.
It's also a good reminder to reflect on your own "why" from time to time.
And fair warning... if you're hanging around after a session, you might be next to feature 👀
Events & Community
ATHX Dublin
A huge well done to everyone who travelled to Dublin for ATHX this month.
The Urban crew represented the gym brilliantly and threw themselves into the challenge from start to finish.
Events like these are always a great reminder of what consistent training can build including confidence, resilience, and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone.
VHI Women's Mini Marathon
Massive congratulations all our memebrs who took on the VHI Women's Mini Marathon!
An incredible achievement and another example of members putting their training into action outside the gym.
Looking Ahead
UR Summer Games — Saturday 20th June
Summer Games is getting closer and the excitement is building.
We still have a few spaces left, so if you want to get involved, get your name on the board in the gym.
Former members are also welcome to jump back in for the day and join the fun.
As always, expect competition, teamwork, laughs, and serious energy throughout the day.
Post-Games Recovery — SUNday 21ST June
The morning after Summer Games, Dara Kissane has kindly organised a recovery session with Sweathouse Sauna down in Baginbun from 9am–11am.
A perfect chance to reset after the Games, all members are welcome.
And finally, a surprise announcement...
UR Hike Club
UR Hike Club is coming.
Over the next three months, Rob will be organising one hike per month, with each one progressing in difficulty and finishing with the stunning Coumshingaun Lough and Kilclooney Loop.
A great opportunity to get outdoors, challenge yourself, and connect with the community outside the gym.
Keep an eye on socials for dates and details.
See you on the mats, team 💚🖤
