🔥 THIS WEEK AT CORTEX 🔥

Another week. Another chance to turn up, move your body and leave feeling better than when you walked in. 💪

We’ve got a bit of everything coming your way — running, TTB, clean & jerks, ring muscle-ups, wall balls, heavy snatches, rowing, biking, wall walks… and plenty more! 😮‍💨🔥

But remember: the workout on the board is a starting point, not an entry requirement

Got a niggle? We’ll adapt it👊
Slept terribly? We’ll adjust the intensity🔥
Feeling a bit flat? Come anyway🤝
Something you can’t do yet? We’ll find something you CAN do💪

You are always welcome and you are NEVER a burden to your coach 🖤

Our job is to meet you where you’re at on that day and make sure you still get a great session🫡

So don’t look at the week and think “I can’t do that”

Turn up. Speak to your coach. We’ve got you. 🤝

See you on the floor, team!

🔥 NEXT WEEK AT CORTEX 🔥

A fresh week. Five very different training days. Plenty to get stuck into 👊

We’re kicking things off with some upper-body strength on Monday, testing that 3RM Hang Clean on Tuesday, then bringing the skills and intensity with handstand walks, DB snatches and burpees on Wednesday 👏

Thursday = RUN + JUMP 🏃‍♂️📦
Friday = SNATCHES + WALL BALLS + TTB to finish the week properly 😮‍💨🔥

There’ll be something that plays to your strengths and probably something that challenges you too 👊 that’s exactly how we want it

Turn up. Work hard. Back each other. Keep building. 🖤

MOVE BETTER. GET STRONGER. BE YOUR BEST.

Who’s getting all 5 ticked off this week?! 👀💪

🎃 CORTEX HALLOWEEN THROWDOWN 👻

It’s time for another CORTEX in-house comp 🥳 and this one’s going to be a good one! 🧡

📅 Saturday 31st October
⏰ Athlete briefing: 8:00am
👥 Same-sex teams of 4
🔥 4 workouts
💪 Open ability — everything can be scaled!

This is an in-house event for EVERYONE. You don’t need to be the strongest, fastest or most experienced athlete in the gym. The workouts will be designed so everybody can get involved, contribute to their team and have a bloody good day doing it!

And your team doesn’t have to be made up entirely of CORTEX members either. Bring your friends or family along and get them involved in your team! 🙌

Oh… and it’s Halloween. You’d be silly not to dress up 👻🎃 There’ll be prizes for the winning team AND best dressed, so get creative!

Bring some spooky treats and drinks, stick around afterwards, and let’s make it a proper CORTEX community day 🧁🍬🥤

No pressure. No RX vs Scaled. Just workouts, costumes, your mates and a great atmosphere 🧡

📲 READY TO ENTER?
Get your team of four together and message us on socials, chat to a coach or drop us a message in the WhatsApp group ✌️

WHO’S IN?! 🎃💀🔥

🏋️‍♂️ THIS WEEK AT CORTEX🔥

Another week. Another chance to get fitter, stronger and better alongside your fellow athletes and friends 🤝

Every session at CORTEX is coach led. You’ve got someone there to guide you, challenge you, help you scale where needed and back you 100% throughout the session 👊

And we want to reiterate something that’s important to what CORTEX is about…

You’re not going to look at every session and think “YES, that’s exactly what I wanted to do today!” 😂

There will be movements you love. Movements you’d happily never see again. Sessions that play to your strengths and others that expose the things you need to work on..

That’s the point 🫡

We’re a community gym with one simple goal: to make our athletes FIT and STRONG 💪

That means developing all components of fitness — strength, endurance, stamina, speed, power, coordination, balance, agility, accuracy and flexibility

If we only programmed the things everyone fancied doing, gave you a room full of equipment and left you to pick your favourites… we might as well be called PureGym 😅

Instead, you turn up. You train with your mates. You get coached. You work on your weaknesses. You celebrate each other’s wins. And over time, you become a more capable, well-rounded athlete 🫶

That’s CORTEX 🖤

Now… who’s looking forward to Run–Row–Run on Monday? 👀🏃‍♂️🚣‍♂️🏃‍♂️

🔥 WHAT’S IN STORE THIS WEEK AT CORTEX? 😝

Another week with a little bit of everything 👌 Lifting, gymnastics, conditioning and plenty of opportunities to get better 💪

🏋️ Snatches, overhead squats, cleans & deadlifts
🤸 Ring muscle-ups & toes-to-bar
🔥 Burpees, kettlebell swings, skipping, rowing & box work

Tuesday is a great chance to spend some time on the rings. Whether you’re chasing your first ring muscle-up, building the strength and confidence towards one, or looking to sharpen up what you’ve already got, come in and work at your level 👊

Then on Friday, we’ll bring the week to a close with something a little more meaningful 🫶

🇺🇸 Our 9/11 Remembrance Workout
A workout in honour of those who lost their lives on September 11th, and particularly the 343 firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice while responding that day 🫡

Plenty of variety. Plenty to work on. And a pretty special way to finish the week ❤️

Get yourself booked in and we’ll see you on the gym floor! 👊

🇺🇸 TODAY’S THE DAY. 110 FLOORS. 343 HEROES. NEVER FORGOTTEN. 🇺🇸

After months of preparation, three absolutely brutal fundraising challenges and an incredible amount of hard work, our very own Emily is in Atlanta TODAY taking on the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb ❤️

Emily will climb 110 floors (The height of the World Trade Center towers - in full firefighter kit) in honour and remembrance of the 343 firefighters who lost their lives on September 11th, 2001

But today is about so much more than a physical challenge.

Each climber carries the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. 343 names. 343 families. 343 heroes who climbed those stairs to help others, never knowing they wouldn’t be coming back down

We couldn’t be prouder of Emily for everything she has put into getting here and for using these challenges to raise money for the incredible charities that continue to support the families of fallen firefighters 🚒❤️

Now there’s just one job left to do 👊

110 floors. One step at a time. For those who can’t.

There is STILL TIME TO DONATE and help Emily add even more to the incredible amount already raised 🙏

👉 Donation link is in our bio.

Go and absolutely smash it, Emily. The whole CORTEX community is behind you 🖤

WE CLIMB SO THEY ARE NEVER FORGOTTEN.

03/09/2026

CORTEX Athlete Emily is now off to complete her final challenge!

And they're off!

Martin, James and Emily are on their way to Atlanta to take part in the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb, marking 25 years since the September 11 attacks.

In full firefighter kit, the trio will climb 110 storeys, the height of the World Trade Centre towers, in honour of the 343 firefighters who lost their lives while responding that fateful day.

We wish them the very best of luck as they take on this challenge and pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice ❤️
