We are committed to supporting those affected by domestic abuse. Whether it’s emotional, physical, financial, or any other form of abuse.

If you are over 16 and have experienced any form of domestic abuse while living or working in Bracknell Forest, we want to hear from you. Your insights can help shape better support services in our community.

Visit the link in the comments to complete our confidential survey. Sharing your story can help improve our services.

Once you discover the thing inside, you'll forever know it's there.

You can boil it down any which way, you'll always be left with the only thing that matters, people.

*Vacancy*

We are sad to be saying goodbye to one of the team this summer, but also so excited, for and wish him all the best for his new role in developing professional education programmes for aspiring personal trainers.

This leaves us with space to consider applications for a new Personal Trainer to operate from the gym, starting this summer, and we'd love to hear from you if you'd like to know more.

THE FIT BOX

Always excelling

Today was the debut of our Tactical Athlete Workshop, and thanks are owed to, Keith Atkins, and Crew Commander, Ben Jones, for their continued faith in THE FIT BOX to provide ongoing CPD for the stations PTI's over the past decade (and a bit). It was a privilege to be back, and the outstanding firefighters in attendance did the service proud. There was an additional warm swell in the belly today as much of the reactive core training section was inspired by my good friend Bob Hope, and of course feeling the support of our partners in this project, the delcious Pocket Rocket Group.

💡Alcohol Awareness Week💡

Alcohol Awareness Week is a chance for the UK to get thinking about drinking. It’s a week of awareness-raising and campaigning for change.

Join us in raising awareness and supporting each other to make positive changes. Together, we can create a healthier, happier future.✨

From

"Our charity aims to raise awareness of PTSD & C-PTSD in three main areas – it’s causes, symptoms and the treatments available. PTSD UK is the only charity in the UK dedicated to raising awareness of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder – no matter the trauma that caused it, so if you’re able to help support us and International PTSD Awareness Day, you’ll be able to make a big impact on the lives of those affected."

They don't just talk the talk and .pt walk the walk. Leading by example, again, they took on and conquered the in Wales this weekend, and they will both be back to support you in your own fitnessing advetures from tomorrow.

Not at all OK with how has loaded this barbell, but up is up..

A couple of club legends stepped up this morning to raise money and awareness for our local Samaritans branch in the annual Bracknell Samaritans Run. If you're having a hard time, there will always be somebody to listen. Take down this phone number for when you need it: 116 123

From us to you, our love on Fathers Day.

We're not a running club, but when we do running...

We have delivered our outstanding rated Kettlebell Certification up and down and across the country, and recognise the privilege that people choose to train with us now every bit as much as we did then. Thank you for letting us be a part of your experience.

Do you even swing though?

10 years ago today, we delivered our first Kettlebell Training Certification at THE FIT BOX, and we are still living that swinging life a decade later.

In just our second session tonight, 23 men walked through the door, 7 of them for the first time 👏

We hope that coming along helped every single one of them!

The Force is strong in this one.

A puzzle can be medicine for the mind, take some.

Everybody needs a Bone, and is ours.

Get your kettle on.

When somebody asks if we're OK and we are OK, it's pretty easy to respond and say we are OK.

If we're not OK, we need only (only as in simply, not necessarily easily) find the courage to say we are not OK, and the rest will just happen.

Sometimes we're not OK, but we're OK. Communicating this can be difficult.

It's been an awful day/week/month, this/these awful things have/are happened/happening, I have been frightened and sad and anxious and hurting and grieving, and it's been hard to concentrate/breathe/think/do and I haven't slept and my tummy hurts and I feel helpless, isolated, lonely, desperate, tortured, but I've just had a toasted cheese sandwich and a glass of milk and actually in this moment I feel pretty calm and there's really nothing to worry about right now it means a lot that you asked and I know you want to help and if I'm ever not OK I promise I will tell you and even though I'm not OK, I am OK.

Or something like that, at least, can be as challenging to say as it is to hear. So, and in particular for those of us who find it hard to share and communicate our feelings, we have a simplified response to the, are you OK question - when we're not OK but we're Ok:

CODE 4.

Borrowed from the world of law and enforcement, maybe, but at least from the dramatised televisual world of law and enforcement, it means:

'Everything is under control. The scene is safe.'

But it also means thank you for asking, and the truth is that I'm not OK, but I'm OK.
