That’s all folks😢 Tam had the honour of taking our farewell class this morning (old pic) - make sure to get along to Charles & Gamon any time from 2pm-4pm this afternoon for our goodbye drinks. We’ve loved every minute of it and hope you have too!

With Saturday just around the corner three opportunities left to walk in the door at AOC! Tonight at 6pm (just in time for the cool change!) Adam will be taking his final class - yellow jersey, 4 sets. Friday morning, 6am, Dan the Man will be on hand to get your Friday off to an energetic start. Saturday morning, 7.30am, let's fill the room for our last session! Tamara takes her final bow, and a great opportunity to burn off some calories before our goodbye drinks at Charles & Gamon on Saturday afternoon from 2-4pm. Book in as per usual or just turn up a few minutes before the class. Thanks from all of us for the last few years!

All good things must come to an end... But it leaves room for new things to begin.
We have some exciting news, Dan Crisp from The Project is taking over the whole facility at AOC. Ken and I would just like to thank everyone for their ongoing support, it's been fantastic meeting and getting to know all of our members. We'll be in touch with everyone over the next week or so. At this stage our last class will be on Saturday the 18th January.
Dan has some exciting changes ahead, please see message from Dan below:

"We over here at The Project Group Fitness are excited to announce that in the coming months we will be expanding. Throughout January and February we will be working hard to build a new and more diverse environment for our current and future members. We will be further developing a gym space that is not only comfortable and welcoming, but also allows for variety and progression across many disciplines of fitness and health. We believe in purposeful daily movement resulting in a long happy life.

Sadly, this does mean that we’ll be saying goodbye to the Art Of Cycling spin room. We really understand how rough it is to have disruptions to your training so we’d like to offer current AOC members a carry-over membership while we go through this change. For the same weekly fee you currently pay for AOC, you will be able to take part in all our strength and cardio sessions and use the spin bikes until the end of February. After that point, you can decide whether you’d like to continue your training with us here at The Project at our standard rates.

While it’s sad to see AOC leaving the space, it’s also a really exciting time for us as there are a great deal of wonderful developments in the works. I don’t like to talk a big game without following through, so here are some of the extras that are coming soon:

- Open gym use outside of the group fitness classes from 8am-5pm Monday to Friday (available to anyone who has been a member for 3 months - so we can make sure you know how to safely use the equipment)
- A new MetCon room that can be used in conjunction with strength training or as a stand alone workout.
- Coffee machine and batch brew for your pre-workout needs.
- Chat and chill area for post- or pre-training hangs.
- Community library for all your health, fitness, motivations, mindset and nutritional needs.
- More concentration on training for events, whether it be marathons or trail runs, cycling or OCRs, we are looking to better prepare you for your big day.

We have some big plans for this space and would love to have you along for the journey."
