The Civitas Newsletter and MOTM - June 2025

Its June! Summer is here and the gym is rocking. The doors are up and everybody is in great spirits as we've been blessed with some lovely weather. Long may it continue! (no doubt it'll rain when this is posted).

HUGE congratulations are in order for some baby Civi's and it's all baby boys with Dazza, Cheryl and Ben as well as Fionidi and Kelvin all welcoming boys to their families. The boys look perfect! and we wish you all the best with your new arrivals and hopefully you're all getting into some sort of sleep routine 😆 .

Well done to those who competed at CrossFit Monarch last month. We had a great turnout of Civi's and they put on a show with a lot of you ending up on the podium after what looked like a really tough day of competing. Hyroxer's and triathlete's also who took part in their respective events and did themselves proud. We see more and more of you competing and I say it every month but we really do love to see you test your fitness outside of the gym. Well done. This month coming we have the Omni games so good luck to all of those competing over in Devizes and anybody else who is competing over the month of June.

We don't just workout to compete though. We workout for life. To be able to express that fitness outside of the gym. Whether that is in our sports or our hobbies or simply to have more energy to play with the kids, grandkids or even walk the dogs more often. Summer is a great time to express that fitness outside of the gym. On the flip side its also a time of distractions that can take the focus away from those goals that you have worked so hard for over the long winter months. So keep those goals in mind and keep your training up. Remember, it's just one hour a day and you will never regret a workout.

A massive thank you to all who attended this year's Murph! It never gets easier, it still makes you unbelievably sore but we still do it every year as its a great community get together and for a lot of you having your first taste of Murph, well done. Note down your score and we'll aim to beat it next year 🫡 .

Things to look forward to at Civitas! Our Summer Throwdown date is set for SATURDAY July 26th. The format will be SAME SEX pairs and we have changed the day to a Saturday this year so that we can get together afterwards and have a summer social. After the throwdown we have a curry night planned at Spaddy's and then wherever the night takes us after that.

Tickets for both the Throwdown and Curry night will be available soon and there will be limited spots for both so start getting your pairs together and do not miss out. As per the previous 2 throwdowns we will have both Scaled and Rx divisions and tickets will be sold via our website on a first come first served basis.
