12.01.2022 Manta Fitness Equipment was born to bring you the most effective high quality training equipment. Our goal is to bring training back to the basics and help you to become a more functional human being. Our first love has been the StrongFit Sandbag. This tool, although very simple at heart, is extremely effective and versatile. The StrongFit Sandbag is the best and strongest on the market, hence why we are bringing it to Australia and New Zealand, as the exclusive suppliers.... Sandbags are more functional. Its much more likely that you are going to lift something that mimics an awkward, misshapen bag of sand in real life than a perfectly loaded, collared barbell. When it comes to truly functional and human movement, the sandbag is king. Movement should predicate exercise. mantafitness.com.au - proud suppliers of sandbags for the 2019 Victoria Police and Emergency Services Games. Ben Breen from Manta will be at Iron Bear tomorrow to support the event as well as supplying vouchers for all podium finishers! See you in the morning crew! Remember check in will start from 7am and we will have a quick briefing at 7:45 - kick off is at 8am!

06.01.2022 It is with no real pleasure that I write to inform you that the VPGF Executive have made the decision to POSTPONE the entire 2020 Victoria Police & Emergency Services Games. With a state of disaster declared this morning by the Premier and the advice and discussions that Rick and his counterparts have been involved with, it without doubt necessary to postpone the Games. The VPGF’s key priority is the health and safety of our police and emergency services community whilst we c...ontinuously monitor the rapidly evolving situation. So, in light of the advice thus far, we now find it necessary to postpone our Games as a precautionary measure to mitigate the risks associated with COVID-19. This decision does not come easy, but on the other hand, it should come as no surprise that we (the Executive) need to demonstrate leadership to our emergency services’ colleagues through this decision. It should also come as no surprise that it is paramount that all police and emergency services employees maintain a capacity to deliver community services and that means we need to mitigate any risk and stay healthy to do so. A formal decision on whether the Games can be rescheduled will be made in due course however it remains unlikely this will happen.

05.01.2022 Movement Standards are out for the 2019 Police and Emergency Services Games! We are trying to mix it up this year and create workouts with a great array of different skill sets. There is rope climbing, there are deadlifts, there are thrusters and there is running and rowing and lots of other fun things for everyone to have a crack at! Workout details and videos will be released in the next week or so - here is a very brief run down of the movements that will be included as p...art of the days festivities - both Rx and Scaled. Please tag your mates to get them involved and as usual, if there are any questions or concerns, please dont hesitate to get in contact! See you all on March 27 for a great day at CrossFit Iron Bear Jarrod Ross

04.01.2022 Does anybody know a photographer that will be willing to donate their time throughout the day to take some photos of all of you fine people working out? We can pay them in love and hugs! I might even shout them a coffee to show my appreciation If so, please PM me the details and I can talk with them!... Thanks crew! JJarrod Ross PS. Workouts will be released starting tomorrow night. Hope you guys are all fans of a barbell because workout 1 is spicy...
