Finally getting around to looking at the certificate and medal from November’s 2000 burpee challenge. A challenge we won’t want to be repeating any time soon... What should we do next / who should we fundraise for? 😅

Not a favourite 9 or anything like that just a few pictures from this year which shows some of our awesome members and some changes that have been made throughout the past couple of months!
I’d just like to wish everyone a happy new year! (Can’t be much worse than this one) 😬 and here’s to being open as soon as possible 🥂 come on Mark don’t be a spoil sport! #initiate #gym #fitness #newyearnocorona #rhonddavalleys

This was our Christmas Day Afghanistan 2008! Even though this year we are restricted in who we can see or what we can do just be thankful for the people who you get to spend it with just like we were in our situation.
Merry Christmas everyone and stay safe.

Not a lot of good things seem to be happening lately but stories like this out shine all that crap! Amazing effort @ems_jellybean 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So that sees the end of the 8 week challenge with @steveinitiatechallenge and @initiate_sandc. I am now officially over 18lbs lighter than I was when I started, 2 dress sizes smaller, and a huge amount healthier! So pleased with myself, and just because the challenge is done, doesn't mean the good habits I've developed and maintained will be going anywhere!

Happy days.

Hi Guys,

I’m sure you have all seen the news by now so unfortunately we will have to close from today!! 🤬

I understand how frustrating this is for you as it is for us as well especially as there is no clear end date for us to re-open.

If you would like me to freeze your memberships as we did on the firebreak either comment or send me a message and I’ll do that from tomorrow.

I will organise a time and date for anyone wanting equipment to collect after Christmas.

Hopefully this won’t be for too long so until then merry Christmas and stay safe.

Thanks
Team Initiate

Doesn’t matter how or where you do it but please remember to pay your respects at 11am with a 2 minute complete silence for the fallen and the current serving members of our armed forces.
