This is your last chance to sign-up for our 30 day nutrition challenge! Whether you're in Elements or CrossFit competitively, we have you covered. We now have over 21 members signed-up and we don't want you to get FOMO when you see all our challengers benefitting from better nutrition, sleep and training habits.

Even if you're going on holiday during the month, you can still take part! You will learn lessons for life and begin to establish good habits that you can use for the rest of the year. With busy work, family and social lives, there's never a good time to take charge of our nutrition EXCEPT NOW!

Price £75

Our 30 day nutrition challenge is a chance to kick start 2020 or accelerate the progress you have already made in January. Most nutrition challenges simply restrict food and cause more stress! This is not a super low carb or a ridiculous juice fast.....it is about educating you on how to get your nutrition plan in place to see results but build solid habits.

You can sign up to either fat loss or strength, with both programs resulting in increased energy, better training performance and, most importantly, feeling healthier!

The challenge is based on proven nutrition principles that can be used beyond the 30 days. We will provide a nutrition guide, personalised calories, macros, meal breakdowns, sample meal plans, recipes, and most importantly education over the month. 

If you struggle to lose fat, or if you have hit a plateau in your training or simply want to tighten your nutrition up and feel better, then come join us!

We start on the 1st February but the first 2 days are an introduction and the actual challenge kicks off on the 3rd February.

FAQ

How is the challenge run?

A partnership between Sleven CrossFit and pH Nutrition. We have designed a 30 day challenge that you can sign up to regardless of your goal. We will provide a nutrition guide, calories, macros, meal breakdowns, sample meal plans, recipes, and most importantly education over the month. 

This is not a super low carb or a ridiculous juice fast.....it is about educating you on how to get your nutrition plan in place to see results but build solid habits.

How Do I Sign-Up?

All you have to do is click on the button below!

On the 1st February you will get access to the nutrition guide, macro calculator and challenge resources. You will also get access to Wodify Rise and details of how to track your food on MyFitnessPal. Both Wodify Rise and MyFitnessPal are free.

Calculate your calories and macros. Start to track your food and follow your guide.

Check off the daily and weekly tasks to help build habits and keep you accountable.

Enjoy the 30 days!

What do I actually get?

We deliver a step by step guide through our app with regular content, links and downloads. You receive a nutrition guide, 3 recipe packs and tracking guide, alongside a ton of other resources to help guide you through the challenge. 

We will hold regular Q&A’s to help you crush the challenge.
 

Should I sign up for fat loss or strength?

This is about identifying what your limiting factor is. If you feel that strength is preventing you from making progress in areas such as gymnastics or barbell movements, then strength is the way forward. It is not a “bulk”...don’t worry. It is more about fuelling your training better.

If you want to lean out, drop excess body fat, without having your energy levels nosedive then fat loss is the program for you!

What foods do I have to remove?

No food is “bad” or “good”. We have provided you with a priority food list. If you focus on building your nutrition plan around these foods, you will make progress and feel healthier. The more you eat from the limit table the harder it will be. We will provide you with a food table which we have categorised into anytime foods, training foods and foods to limit.  
 

So this is not low carb?

No, this is not low carb. It is more "controlled" carb. We want to eat our carbs at the right times to support our energy and training performance. 

What if I do not want to track my food?

The challenge is about finding a pattern of eating that works for you. You can use the hand portion control guide if you like. You do not have to track, nor do you have to follow the exact meal structure. But if you do, you will make faster progress. It is a challenge, some parts are not meant to be easy!
 

Can I do it if I am a vegetarian/vegan?

Yes, absolutely! The principles are exactly the same and the macro calculator will provide you with guidance on how to change your macros.
 

Do I have to follow the meal structure?

Yes and no!

Let us explain:

One of the biggest areas we see with members is lack of structure. This leads to either mindless snacking as you haven't planned when the next meal is, or you haven't eaten enough so you are hungry. Regular patterns of eating are crucial for fat loss and strength gains.

The meal structure is set as a guide, not a rulebook. Over the course of the challenge, we encourage you to personalise it so it fits your lifestyle.

Do I have to weigh myself?

We are going to ask you to use the RENPHO scales at the gym. You will weigh in at the start and the end. However, you can weigh yourself as much as you want throughout! These are the most accurate scales and provide a consistent measurement. 

How do I win?

Liam, Tom, Nick and Tim will collate body composition data alongside before and after pictures to decide on the best transformation for fat loss and strength. We will also have a spirit of the challenge award.

One for Sleven's ladies! If you enjoyed the SLEVEN STRENGTH SPECIAL with Sarah, you'll have another opportunity to benefit from her coaching at the Strong Girls Club on Sunday 12 January.  This is an afternoon of lifting and learning at Sleven with a group of other strong girls. You'll get getting coaching from Sarah on your lifts, technique and training.

Sarah will be joined by Linn Mayhew. Both Sarah and Linn compete internationally at Masters level, and have competed at English National level. Linn is a BWL 1 Coach who has medalled at several international competitions, Sarah is a BWL 2 Coach and Technical Official. Both have a wealth of experience of coaching all levels of weighlifter.

On the day, you'll spend three hours learning and practising some specific exercises for the Snatch and Clean & Jerk, as well as covering some of the theory behind the lifts. You'll then receive specific, individual coaching on your own lifts from Sarah and Linn, in a relaxed and supportive environment. 

The workshop will cover some common problems with both lifts, and how to solve those using specific drills. You'll also get to practise exercises to help with anything that’s holding you back in your lifting, so you’ll have your own exercises and drills to take away and work on after the workshop.

The workshop is suitable for all levels, whether you are a CrossFitter, a weightlifter or simply curious to give weighlifting a go. This event is open to the public so if you have a friend who you think would like to join you, send them a link to get booking.

We love that there are so many strong girls getting into lifting, and we’re excited about holding the Strong Girls Club at Sleven!

If you'd like to work on your weightlifting, Sarah and Richard are available for personal training at Sleven. You can book on an individual basis, or you can get together with a group of friends and book a small group session! If you're keen but don't know anyone who would like to do it with you, write a post on the Sleven CrossFit Facebook Group and we'll try to hook you up!

SPECIALISTS BEWARE: Sleven testing week is back! In June, you were put to the task with five devilishly difficult WODs during our summer Testing Week. As a training methodology, CrossFit develops your general physical preparedness. As such, each WOD has been devised to expose your weaknesses. We are going to test pretty much everything: both Olympic Lifts, squat and deadlift, some Open-style CrossFit, gymnastics, and plenty of metabolic conditioning.

All the WODs have been developed so that you can perform them in class in two heats if needed. Just like in The Open, you will be judged and cheered on by your fellow athletes. We will not be doing any strength or skills as we want you to focus on the WODs at hand. All WODs are scalable and we will be giving you plenty of options to make each WOD appropriate to your level.

We want everyone to have fun with these workouts. Please take them seriously but remember why we train and why we love CrossFit! If you do not do as well as you'd like, look at it as an opportunity to improve and attack those weaknesses head on! You will have the opportunity to crush them again in 2020.

SLEVEN XMAS Extravaganza

Next weekend we are celebrating Christmas, SLEVEN STYLE, with our very own 12 Days of Christmas WOD. Before we head out to the Christmas Party, we have devised a WOD that runs in the same way as the song "12 Days of Christmas".

Our resident intern, Emma, sent out emails today notifying you of who your Secret Santa is. Please check your inbox and junk just in case! If you are not sure who your person is or what present they would like, feel free to ask a coach. Please bring it wrapped and labelled and TRY TO KEEP IT A SECRET!! If you cannot find the email please let us know and we will check what email address we used.

If you didn't buy a ticket for the party but would like to come for a drink(s), you're more than welcome to come after 16:30 and join in on the festivities. Please note, all classes have been cancelled on the 15th of December. Being the day after the Xmas party and a long week of testing, we've decided to give both athletes and coaches a well earned break!

Like the song the "12 Days of Christmas", complete each exercise in ascending order then work back down to 1, adding one exercise per round. Like this: 1; 2-1; 3-2-1; 4-3-2-1; etc – for a total of 364 reps.

Yoga for CrossFit Workshop

The Yoga for CrossFit Workshop is this Saturday, 7th of December from 14:00-15:00!

Do you struggle with mobility? Does it hold you back from fulfilling your potential? Our Yoga for CrossFit Workshop with Liz Marsland, is designed to help you! Liz is a L2 CrossFit Coach, physiotherapist and qualified yoga instructor. Liz has designed the Workshop specifically for CrossFitters and you will learn the 10 best yoga poses and movements to enhance your range of motion, strength and stability.

Best of all, this Workshop is only £5, of which £2 is going towards breast cancer research. Come on down to the gym, get swole & flexy and do it all for a good cause!

Linn is a BWL 1 Coach who has medalled at several international competitions, Sarah is a BWL 2 Coach and Technical Official. Both have a wealth of experience of coaching all levels of weighlifter.

On the day, you'll spend three hours learning and practising some specific exercises for the Snatch and Clean & Jerk, as well as covering some of the theory behind the lifts. You'll then receive specific, individual coaching on your own lifts from Sarah and Linn, in a relaxed and supportive environment. 

The workshop will cover some common problems with both lifts, and how to solve those using specific drills. You'll also get to practise exercises to help with anything that’s holding you back in your lifting, so you’ll have your own exercises and drills to take away and work on after the workshop.

The workshop is suitable for all levels, whether you are a CrossFitter, a weightlifter or simply curious to give weighlifting a go. This event is open to the public so if you have a friend who you think would like to join you, send them a link to get booking.

We love that there are so many strong girls getting into lifting, and we’re excited about holding the Strong Girls Club at Sleven!

You can book on an individual basis, or you can get together with a group of friends and book a small group session! If you're keen but don't know anyone who would like to do it with you, write a post on the Sleven CrossFit Facebook Group and we'll try to hook you up!

Battle for Middle Ground

The pair also did great in "Cluster Assault" a combination of a two rep max cluster in part A followed by everyone's favourite, air bike and double-unders in part B! The pair managed a combined 165 kg between them in part A, followed by a blistering 6th place finish in part B, their best placing of the weekend!

Jamie Brunsdon and Sam Woodhead, AKA Disobedient Schoolgirls, took part in a competitive RX division where the calibre of athletes was not far off the Elites. The two finished a very respectable 15th and is a fantastic result considering they've worked very little as a duo.

The pair truly turned on the style in the "Devil's Row", a WOD consisting of devil's press and rowing. Jamie showed incredible speed on her devil's press, so much so that when we saw the video of her performing the movement, we thought it was sped up! Sam then took the reins on the row and pulled our team to a 4th place finish, the Schoolgirls' highest placing for the weekend.

BFMG wraps up Sleven's 2019 competition season and we're incredibly excited about what 2020 will bring!

SLEVEN STRENGTH SPECIAL

This week, we're handing over our Strength classes to the experts! Last night, Sarah Hilton and Richard Munro, two of London's most experienced weightlifting coaches, took the class through the snatch. Beginning with snatch-specific mobility work and warm-up drills, before Sarah broke the lift down into its individual elements. The class ended with an opportunity to put all of this into practice and max out, with Abdoul, James and Susie taking full advantage and making PB lifts!

Tomorrow evening, Sarah and Richard will be running a similar class focused on the clean & jerk.

If you'd like to work on your weightlifting, Sarah and Richard are available for personal training at Sleven. You can book on an individual basis, or you can get together with a group of friends and book a small group session! If you're keen but don't know anyone who would like to do it with you, write a post on the Sleven CrossFit Facebook Group and we'll try to hook you up!
