The Crew Cut

Many of you will remember seeing our faithful Mazda Bongo out and about during the event season. It was pretty hard to miss with all the colourful Crewroom bubbles covering the van. Well, it served us proud but it was time to trade it in for something a bit more sturdy and reliable. In keeping with tradition, we made sure our new truck was equally as noticeable so we gave it a chrome wrap. Now that's something you definitely won't miss!

You might have noticed by now, since the opening of our hub on the embankment in Putney, slowly but surely we've had more and more to offer by way of daytime and evening classes, groups and events. All the friends of Crewroom will know that we're all about building the community of people around us, and encouraging everyone to come and get involved, from our run club (and that all important breakfast after run club!) to our twice weekly core classes with Paul, and our new Pilates class on Wednesdays with Laoeny. In 2014, we only want to get bigger and better, and are calling on all personal trainers and fitness instructors to bring their skills and classes on down to the hub and host your class right here!

We hope you enjoyed it too, we’d love to see your photos from the day, you can tweet them to us on @Crewroom

Here at the Crewroom hub you will have noticed we’ve started to take advantage of our new space in more ways than one! Our classes have expanded from just Run Club on Saturday’s to Core Classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7-8pm. Run by our lovely friend Paul Gascoyne, the new class aims to help anyone up for the challenge improve on various levels, whether it’s building strength, improving fitness or just to improve your overall heath and well being. As always, the Crewroom team wanted to get in what looked like it could be fun – let’s face it, we’ve never been ones to watch from the sidelines, and the outcome….
