MAY ROUND UP ☀️
What a month.
New faces.
Competitions conquered.
PBs smashed.
Classes packed.
More memories made.
More reasons why this community is unlike any other.
A huge thank you to every single member who continues to make UFit what it is. Whether you’ve been with us 10 years or 10 days, you’re part of something special.
A quick update on the Recovery Centre…
Firstly, thank you for your patience.
We know we originally hoped to have the Recovery Centre open by now. Unfortunately, we’ve hit a few unexpected hurdles during the final stages of the project that needed addressing before we could open the doors.
Rather than rush it, we’ve chosen to get everything right.
The good news is we’re now in the final stretch and expect the Recovery Centre to be fully operational within the next 10 to 14 days.
Trust us when we say it will be worth the wait.
Saunas.
Cold therapy.
Recovery.
Relaxation.
Everything you need to recover harder so you can train harder.
Thank you for sticking with us while we put the finishing touches on what will be another huge addition to the Playground.
Big things coming.
Welcome to the Playground. 🔥

GOOD LUCK TO OUR TEAM 🏴
Mikey Farmer and heading out to Batumi, Georgia this Thursday for the European Weightlifting Championships.
Big stage. Big opportunity.
This isn’t just about competing, it’s about qualifying for the Commonwealth Games and putting everything they’ve worked for on the line.
Years of graft, heavy bars, and showing up when it mattered… now it’s time.
We’re all behind you.
Let’s go to work.
WELCOME TO THE PLAYGROUND.

We wanted to update you all on an important change within the facility.
Over the past 12 months we’ve been reviewing how best to evolve the space at UFit and ensure we’re continuing to move with the direction of the industry and member demand.
Following a significant amount of planning, we’ve made the decision to repurpose The Container.
With immediate effect, The Container will be transitioning into a dedicated indoor padel facility.
This means CrossFit and functional fitness sessions in that space will be paused while we complete the conversion and install two full-size courts.
We appreciate this may come as a surprise, and we understand it may cause some disruption to your current training routine. This wasn’t a decision taken lightly, but one we believe positions UFit for the future and allows us to expand our offering.
All affected sessions will be reallocated within the gym, and the team will be on hand to guide you through any changes over the coming days.
We’ll be sharing more details on court access, booking, and member benefits shortly.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

International Women’s Day at UFit.
No corporate slogans.
No once-a-year empowerment posts.
Just real women doing incredible things.
From showing that strength has no age limit,
building while learning to protect her own time.
From creating space for people to slow down and breathe,
turning confidence into movement and purpose.
From reminding us that self-belief starts with self-compassion,
proving that motherhood and elite sport can live side by side.
And projects like quietly changing lives for women who need it most.
Different stories.
Different paths.
Same message.
Back yourself.
Take up space.
Support the women around you.
At UFit this isn’t something we celebrate once a year.
It’s something we see every single day on the gym floor.
To all the women who train here, lead here, coach here, build here and show up here…
you make this place what it is.
And a special thank you who wrote this incredible newsletter and is very much one of the inspiring women in our community.
Happy International Women’s Day 💜

It’s a movement.
If you’re watching from the sidelines… you already know.
