2 months of Apex in 20 images… how it started vs how it’s going 👉🏽
Time flies when you’re working 18 hours a day 😅 wouldn’t change it for a second.
The old rig (deconstructed and sat next door if there are any takers)
After much consideration we decided the kettlebells were due a refresh
We were relieved to get the treadmills out before the belts killed anyone (IYKYK) 😅
Front of house taking shape and the deliveries began. Felt confident the benches would only take an hour or two to get up…

BLK BOX coming through with the custom racks. After lots of planning, they came out perfect 👌🏽
A small fraction of the caffeine we’ve consumed across July and August
Front of house starting to look 😮💨😮💨😮💨
The new strength area. Six custom racks, each with their own 125kg dual cable stacks, plates and adjustable benches. Custom turf and mirrors are on route and then this whole secti
