BHAF Sandyford Open Day

cmyk

Body Health and Fitness are holding an open day this Saturday 3rd December from 12pm - 5pm.

It's free, so come down, meet the staff, take a look around and take part in the challenges if you're feeling energetic. There'll (hopefully TBC) be some goodie bags provided by kinetica and some spot prizes for the events which are as follows:

Santa Sled Pull
Christmas Log Carry
Sleigh Bell Swing
ROW! ROW! ROW!*

We'll also be teaching and helping you with your kettlebell swing technique, so if you're stuck on that drop down and introduce yourself. It's also a chance to try the strongman equipment.

A map with directions is on the website www.bhaf.ie, it's only a 5minute walk from the stillorgan luas stop and updates will be on the facebook page. Hope to see a few people there!

*These are fun events but can only be entered once safe technique is demonstrated, but will be taught and will end if technical failure is reached.

Brian?

I have to work this Saturday, or I'd deffo call down.

Good luck with it.

Great, it doesn't 'officially' start until 12, but it'll be a casual thing anyhow. I'm tied up with kb class and couple of clients until then, but Rob who owns the gym will be there to show you around anyhow if you couldn't make it later.

Directions please?

Yeah I can only make the morning unfortunately. One of my mates has been training there for 3 months now and is really enjoying it so I've been looking forward to trying it out for a while.

It's a cool gym, I trained there a couple of times early this year before I moved. Would defo call down for some goodies but I'm not in the country!

No worries we'll work something out. Small gym, but packed full of decent equipment, trainers and good atmosphere.

Thanks for linking that killme, not sure why original link doesn't work for some.

Michael 09

Yeah I've heard great things about the trainers, you guys seem to care about your customers/clients which is always good to see!

COH

I'd love to head up but am working all day I'm sure it'll be a fun day though good luck with it!

Barry.Oglesby

Great idea guys. Hopefully people come and support it!

columok

Am indisposed for the day but have heard all kinds of good stuff about the place. Hope it goes well and good luck!

deadlybuzzman

Its a great gym-used it almost every day when I was working in dublin for a week during the summer. Thanks to cmyk for telling me about the place.
I drooled over the log press and prowler on my last day-never got to use them though!
.....plus the bumper plates make an average squat look badass!!

Will try & get this down for this on saturday. Any particular time you will be running the challenges & coaching the KB swing?

cmyk

Thanks for all the well wishes folks. Great to hear that the gym is viewed in a positive light. I'll pass that on to Rob as he pretty much single handedly keeps the place going.

Challenges will probably run for most of the day, (12-5) or weather permitting, we'll just get a few people together and run them in groups, same with teaching the swing.

Great day for it today lads!

Inspector Coptoor

Just back from checking out bhaf.
Great set up, knowledgable staff & a nice few freebies.

Had a go at the 500m row challenge & had a good chat to Colun about KBs & strength training in general.

Sorry I missed you. Got there at about 2pm.

Saw you were winning the rowing challenge there until Mr McConkey arrived:)

Inspector Coptoor

Ah feck it!
Sickened not to win the tub of free stuff!

I left at 1:55.
Wanted to get home to watch Wales vs Australia

I'm still FECKED after that rowing challenge - made me realise I need to put more stuff like that in my program as I thought my lungs were going to explode. Oh well ...

Edit: I didn't come last though, that's the main thing

Good craic down there today though, great getting to know more ppl

Was hoping to meet some more people off the internet at this today but must have been there to early. Had to leave before getting a crack at all the challenges. Did meet Michael 09 & CMYK though. Thanks to CMYK for giving me some really good tips on my Kettlebell swing. BHAF seems like a really nice gym & has all the kit you would need. They also have a foam roller, loads of Kettllebells & flexibility bands which you won’t find in most gyms.If I lived on the southside I would consider joining. Out of interest do members get access to strongman equipment or it just used during the modified strongman sessions? Liam what was your time on the 500m row?

Inspector Coptoor

I got 1:29.5
Big PR for me

cmyk

Thanks to all that came down, good turn out and great to meet a few new people. Well done to all who took part in the challenges too. Will definitely plan another one, maybe with a bigger, better and more structured competition ; )
