Feb 2018

Hello Aries!!!

February is here!!

Hope you all are liking the new look of the renovated gym, including the newly renovated female changing room!

January is a great start to many people and we have many new faces moving in to Ari School of Fitness. Some of which are still doing our fundamentals program and we’ll definitely see more of them in February.

2 Big Things coming at the end of February.

1. HEAT IT UP CHALLENGE

According to our survey, our members place the important of 2018 goals to:

  1. Look Better – 5.9 out of 7
  2. Feel Better – 6.1 out of 7
  3. Perform Better – 5.3 out of 7

     More details in Next Week.

2. CrossFit Open 18.1 to 18.5

5 Weekly Workouts Designed by Dave Castro

5 Highly Challenging workouts, and we know that some of our Aries love the Challenge. We are dedicating a special hour from 10.30-11.30 on Saturdays for those of you that want to perform the CrossFit Open. Strategies to perform these workouts will be discussed and we will crush them together!

That’s all for this month!

Peace!

December is here!

It’s OFFICIAL! It’s everyone’s favourite month, December!

Weather is great and there’s plenty of holidays!  Plus! We have a few good news!

  1. Major Renovations!
    With many people taking holidays, we believe it’s a good time for constructions.
    From Dec 25th – Jan 1st
    The gym will OPEN PARTIALLY for OPEN GYM/Personal Training uses but there will be NO GROUP CLASSES.
    We don’t want to give away too much but we truly believe you will all enjoy these upgrades in January!
  2. Mini Sports Day & Ultimate Frisbee in Rotfai Park
    Ultimate Frisbee is a fun game that is very easy to pick up. Let’s spend a nice afternoon at Rotfai Park on Dec.10th – 3.30pm  and meet for a friendly Frisbee game.
    Don’t worry if you’ve never played before, we’ll teach you and it will be loads of fun! (We will meet at the lawn near the Butterfly Garden)
    Ranjith & Momo has also prepared some games!
    And.. we will grab Paella and some nice drinks at Viva in Chatuchak Market afterwards!

That’s it for the month!
It’s the most… Wonderful time… Of the yearrrr!

What is Ari 3.0?

What is Ari 3.0?

Ari 3.0 is a new chapter of our commitment to improvements. We are focused on improving Ari School of Fitness to thrive on 3 pillars.

 

Over the next few months, we will be focusing on improving these 3 pillars. Some of the examples are:

Balanced Training:

Our daily workouts have always tried to hit you in every muscles with as much variety in time domain. However, will be adding more odd objects like sandbags, sleds pushes, and sled pulls in our repertoire.

We will also be much more focused on the core and how to activate your obliques properly for movements.

Coaching

We are upgrading our filing system for coaches to promote higher level of coaching. Coaches will have fast access to all the critical information before coaching you in both group classes and Personal Training.

This will however mean that booking classes is very important. Our coaches will need at least 10 minutes before class start to be ready for you. So please make reservations 15 minutes prior.

Relationship

We are grateful  of the friendships and brotherhood that have developed here. Our wall of appreciation is on the way along with the appreciation rewards.

And we’re sure you want to bring more awesome friends to meet us as well. We are making services more accessible with our newest referral awards. Please contact your coaches for more details. We do want you to #TellYourFriends. It helps us. It helps you. And it helps your friends!

Final Thoughts

That’s the introduction of Ari 3.0! You’ll hear and see more of it in action in June & July 2017. We strive to be better all the time and we definitely won’t stop at 3.0. In the meantime, #StayAwesome.
