20.01.2022 [ PROTEIN > Why you should use it! ] Firstly, If you have been to the shops lately you would have noticed there isnt much protein available (meat, eggs, dairy) because everyone has panic bought everything (enough meat to feed an army for a month and enough Toilet paper to 182 times a day) KONG Au will be stocking True Protein as of next week and is currently taking PRE-SALE orders now!...Continue reading

19.01.2022 [ Australia Day ] Just a reminder that there will be no coached classes on Monday due to the Australia Day Public Holiday. Workouts will be programmed as normal for both the conditioning and strength classes for the unlimited members with 24/7 access.

19.01.2022 [ WE GOT YO BACK ] ISOLATED, but not forgotten. Cant wait to have ALL of you back under the roof throwing down in a huge TEAM workout with mandatory hugs and high fives ... (When this is over obviously). We have very exciting news to announce in the next few days....Stay tuned!! Can you guess what it is?

17.01.2022 [ MEMBER OF THE MONTH ] This lady has been absolutely tearing holes in workouts lately with all the hard work and consistency paying off NAME: Sally Bowe ... OCCUPATION - Im a PDHPE teacher at Muswellbrook High School. WHAT MADE YOU BITE THE BULLET TO MAKE YOU START? Team sports used to be my thing, like basketball, netball, rugby union and touch footy, however, i was getting older and was getting injured due to the high impact on my ankles and knees. When I moved to Singleton I made the decision to try to build up my strength before joining a team to avoid injury. I also had an Anytime membership and never used it, so i cancelled that and tagged along with a friend to my first ever Kong CrossFit class. FIRST THOUGHTS OR FEELINGS BEFORE YOU STARTED? I was so nervous! I thought CrossFit was basically lifting heavy weights really quickly, and i had never lifted heavy weights. I knew that the Kong crew were all friends and I didnt want to be the one that stood out as the newbie, with no friends, lifting no weight. HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW? It was the total opposite. Everyone welcomed me, and wanted to get to know me. They were so friendly. The coaches broke down every movement before we did it, not just for me as a newbie, but thats what they do at Kong, so that everyone is concentrating on good technique and staying safe. I learnt very quickly that everyone is on their own journey and that everything in the workout can be scaled to a level suitable to any ability. During my first workout, people that i didnt even know were encouraging me, and after, i got so many high fives, it was like we had just won a game of something. It was such an encouraging team atmosphere. So I signed up ASAP and I havnt looked back. 12 months on and Im still loving it. ANY ADVICE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE THINKING OF GIVING IT A TRY? Just do it. How will you know if you dont have a go?? There is no judgement at Kong, just big smiles, a lot of encouragement and people trying to improve themselves.

05.01.2022 [ ISOLATION ] Last night at around 12:15am we were broken into. He was a clever man, stealing a small amount of cash, a camera gymble, a whole tray of KONG branded tanks , a few energy drinks, some permanent markers and some hand tools the most expensive being a Leatherman. ... Anyways, If you see a tall skinny man walking around wearing various sizes of KONG Eat the Weak shirts sporting a 10year old Makita tool belt drinking @drinkgorilla please inform him he has a free 1 on 1 PT session with me. Good luck champ, looks like you will be in isolation longer than all of us soon. #breakandenter #robbery #idiot #iwillwin #iwillfindyou

02.01.2022 We asked some of our Kongsman about the WOMEN of KONG We didnt tell them, we put them on the spot when they were least expecting it. No time to think or rehearse answers... No idea what we were doing 100% random choice First thing you will notice is a smile Answers are straight from the heart Everyone is proud Real people, real feelings

02.01.2022 [ STAND UP ] Earlier in the year KONG Au cancelled its CrossFit affiliation. Even though we still believed in the CrossFit training methodology and love the community it helped us create. We could see that the brand was confused and had lost its way. As a business we were frustrated by many of their decisions and could see the value of our affiliation diminishing. The broader CrossFit community and associated businesses grew stronger and stronger while CrossFit HQ retrea...ted further into itself. The comments by Greg Glassman the founder of CrossFit deeply disturbs us. (Swipe to see details) We will not stand for it and couldnt be prouder to stand with the rest of the CrossFit community who say no to racism and no to shitty behaviour. The sport will endure, the community will be stronger but it doesnt need CrossFit HQ and definitely doesnt need Greg Glassman. @ KONG AU
