25.01.2022 Due to popular demand ....EMOM has made another appearance on the timetable for tomorrow.

25.01.2022 Tuesday 4pm and 6pm Mystery sessions are now open for booking. ZUU Plus which is a ZUU and weights combo will remain on the timetable for 5pm.

24.01.2022 Our crew! After a year full of challenges. It felt so good to ditch the activewear and celebrate surviving 2020. So lucky to start and finish 2020 together! @chickensmitty @loucookieburrows @melyogicollings @thefozman

24.01.2022 This week is your last chance to get your teams in for The Den games on Saturday Dec 5th. Please note that no other sessions will be running on that day. If you don’t have a team but want to participate just let us know.

24.01.2022 Update on The Den and COVID-19 Firstly we would like to thank you all for the exceptional support you’ve shown us as we navigate this unfamiliar situation . We have a community that is so supportive of us and each other and this current health climate has bought out the best in this incredible community. To continue to comply with advice from the Australian Government Chief Medical Officer on how best to maintain the safest possible training environment we have made a... few changes: * Session sizes will be reduced. * Where possible we will be including outdoor stations to increase the distance between people in the gym. * There will be no boxing sessions until further notice. We want you to know that should we be faced with closing we are preparing for online training delivery. More information will be provided on this if it occurs. In the meantime continue to use your towels (having two trowels is ideal one for you one for wiping equipment). Sanitise your hands on arrival and throughout the session. Please do not come to The Den if you’re unwell. We will continue to clean and disinfect equipment as we have been. We appreciate the value that a healthy body and a healthy mind have in this health pandemic. Whilst you are well it is safe to continue to train and attend the gym. We will continue to comply with government advice and update you all again should anything change. See more

24.01.2022 1pm Friday we start a four week Core Building Power Yoga program. Suitable for all abilities, experienced and beginners. Members are able to bring a friend for free to the first four yoga sessions. Simply DM us to take up this offer... (Members friend must be new to The Den and not a past or current ten visit pass holder or unlimited member) See more

23.01.2022 Another very exciting addition to the timetable is BLAST! This weight training program focuses on training the full body each session and will be on the timetable Tuesday and Thursday mornings. It will allow for the optimal training split on its own or when used in conjunction with our Raw or MC Burn sessions. ... Debut week, next week, will consist of three drop sets of 10, 8, 6 reps. The regular Raw classes will continue on a Wednesday morning. Any questions DM or comment below. See more

22.01.2022 GAMES UPDATE Dress up is something Christmas themed but beginning with either the letter D..... E..... or N Have attached a few pics from years gone by as inspiration. ... Prize for the best dressed will be a hamper filled with delicious treats from our friends at @redhillsupaexpress See more

22.01.2022 Hi guys! Hope you’re all keeping well. We have been LOVING you all keeping in touch sending us photos and tagging us in posts. We miss you all and we desperately miss hanging in the gym with you! It’s nice to see some suffering training faces showing up on our feeds. A short note to say there is a new panDENmic (Jess genius name) workout on instagram. Chat soon!

21.01.2022 Hi guys. sorry to be touching base again in relation to the closure of The Den. It’s a confusing time and like you one we haven’t had to navigate through before. We have recently found out that your accounts have been appropriated by Debit Success, the company that holds your direct debit contracts. As a result and in line with Yesterday’s ACC corona virus regulation amendments EVERYONES memberships will be put on hold when a payment falls due. Many of you have electe...d to continue to pay your membership fees. Of which we are so appreciative. However for this to occur we need written / emailed consent to present to Debit Success. If those of you who elected to continue membership payments still wish to do so please email us. Sorry for the inconvenience guys. In the meantime stay well...keep busy ....keep in touch, we love hearing from you. One day lived in this climate is one day closer to its demise! See more

20.01.2022 Guys we are now using the CHECK IN CBR App. Please download the app and scan the QR Code at reception. We still require you to swipe your Den tags. Thanks for helping us help the ACT Govt keep us all safe.

20.01.2022 Who doesn’t love to combine training with shopping! Merch sale tomorrow and Saturday

19.01.2022 It is with great sadness that we are temporarily closing the doors of The Den in line with the ACT Chief Minster Andrew Bars announcement. We want to thank you all for your support over the past few weeks. We knew this day would come but the speed at which it has arrived has surprised us. We will be in touch over the next 48 hours with our online plan. Any questions or concerns in the meantime please don’t hesitate to email us or message Mick or I directly.

19.01.2022 Hope you’re all enjoying your Sunday - what a spectacular day! It’s been great to see some of you using the back room for your own training. Another reminder It’s there for you to use in your own time all day Monday and Friday and outside of sessions Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday (see timetable). Some tips for those still a bit apprehensive about training solo!! ... There is a new AMRAP on the board to do your own training at your own pace (complete with Micks easy to follow guidelines). Anyone who wants more info on AMRAPS and how they work send us a message. Weights training.... obviously easy to do out the back but you can also split up the Blast session that’s currently on the board if you’d like to train just upper or just lower body. There is a new quick EXTRAS component to add to the end of any session whether youve trained in the main room or out the back. It’s broken up into upper, lower and ABs... or you might like to do all three! Anyone tempted to take a dip in the acid bath again you’ll find a bike erg, a ski erg and a rower ready for the challenge... 500m Ski 500m Row and 1000m Bike... make sure you record your times! Come find us for more advice on guidance for your own training and how to effectively use the back room outside of sessions. See more

19.01.2022 Unveiling of the new mystery session tomorrow! First up is the lunchtime crew! Who’s coming?... Who’s too chicken?... Who’s waiting for the feedback before taking the plunge?

18.01.2022 BOXING IS CANCELLED THIS MORNING . Burn sessions will run all morning with raw open gym out the back : Sorry for the inconvenience

17.01.2022 Louise will be running her Core and Flex session on Zoom, Thursday 5pm. You’ll be sent the meeting ID and password upon booking.

16.01.2022 Coronavirus shutdown isn’t going to stop our Meet The Pack! Enjoy meeting Anthony! Anthony is a regular at midday sessions, arrives at precisely 1138am each day smiling and raring to go! A bit about Anthony - Has worked in HR for the last 5 years. He is a tragic Canberra Raiders supporter and volunteers at each of the home games throughout the season (not sure about this season though). ... How long have you been coming to The Den? Just under 4 years. What started as an 8 week challenge has continued much longer than that. I love the Den and the trainers and the variety of the classes. Your favourite thing to do outside training at The Den? Watching the Canberra Raiders play, either at the game or at home (my family love how animated I can get), love being with my family, whether that be at home being lazy or going out and doing something. Favourite Den moment? No one particular moment but in the early days building up my fitness so I could attend 5 classes in a week. This is still my goal that i try and achieve. Training with the 12pm lunch crew. We train hard but have fun at the same time. Something you aspire to achieve training wise? Master the wind bike/bike erg. These are my weakness. Although, I am trying to face these head on as the more I push hard, the easier they will eventually become @ The Den Canberra See more

16.01.2022 We are in search of the LOL’s during this tricky time! Don’t forget we are running a little competition.

15.01.2022 Week 2 of The Blast tomorrow. It’s been a big hit! The feedback has been really positive hence its trial addition to the timetable for Wednesday. It’s been super exciting for us to see people who don’t usually strength train give it a go. It’s really such a valuable addition to a balanced program so we hope to see more of you out the back. Please guys remember others and unbook ASAP if you can’t make it to allow enough notice for someone else to take your spot! ... As always DM us, email or chat to us in the gym about how to get the most balance of your training week. See more

In the meantime The Pack continues to run.

15.01.2022 A new Mystery Session drops this week. Thursday and Friday. Bookings essential!

14.01.2022 And that’s the end of summer holidays! We’re all back to work, kids are back at school and routine is once again part of our lives. One common theme we are hearing is how tough it is getting back into a training routine, especially after a significant amount of time off. We completely agree, it’s so tough! ... Unfortunately guys, there is no magic potion to kick start you back to the gym, stop waiting for the lightening bolt to ignite the motivation... you just need to SHOW UP and keep showing up, eventually it will stop feeling so hard and you’ll start to feel the great benefits of training. Make training part of your day, like brushing your teeth, plan to train at a time you’ll have the least amount of excuses, meet someone at the gym to help you stay accountable, do it for your physical health and your mental health! We’re excited to be back to our full training timetable this week. The Blast kicks off tomorrow, Core and Flex and Yoga are back, new Raw strength program starts Wednesday. And new lower body MC Burn kicks off tomorrow. Any questions about how to manage your current training schedule or getting back into training DM us, Shoot us an email or come and chat with us.

12.01.2022 These crazy and uncertain times can really have an impact on those with anxiety and mental health concerns. With routines changing and general uncertainty about day to day life stress can take its toll. Now more the ever it’s important to start the day with positivity and in a way where you feel accomplished and in control of something small. How did you start your day? I had a beautiful morning walk and coffee with my daughter before she settles into home learning for the day. Love to hear what you’ve done so far!

11.01.2022 By popular demand ......

08.01.2022 Meet Zoe! Zoe is a Canberra fan who is a Consultant by day and Wedding Celebrant by weekend. How long have you been coming to the den? Just under two years, its so addictive and the trainers are top notch ... Your favourite thing to do outside training at The Den? I love anything outdoors! Whether that's hiking up a mountain, swimming in the ocean or drinking a glass of red at a winery - its all about balance after all! Favourite Den moment? Anytime I get the standard 'Mick slap on the back' and hearing 'well done, Zo'. He's a hard man to please - so you know you've nailed it when you get that kind of affection. Something you aspire to achieve training wise? Finally be able to master the push up and not feel like a baby elephant doing it. @ The Den Canberra See more
