2/12 - 2/17: Happy Lunar New Year!

Observed for centuries, Lunar New Year is closely linked to the Chinese New Year, and is marked by the changing of the zodiac animal to represent the year ahead. On Saturday we welcomed in the the Year of the Dragon. A central figure in Chinese culture, the dragon represents vigor, strength and good fortune, among other powerful attributes.

Around the world people celebrated by enjoying a meal with family and friends and eating traditional foods to help bring prosperity and luck into your life.

Fish = an increase in prosperity

Dumplings = wealth

Longevity noodles = longevity & happiness

We wish all our community and friends a prosperous new year or 新年快乐!

This week’s WODs

1/22 - 1/27: So Far, So Good?

Seeing as we are over halfway through January we thought we should check in and see how’s everyone going with their Healthy Habits?

You may be crushing it but if perhaps you’ve had a wobble and that’s ok!!!! It’s actually to be expected. The key is to climb back on the proverbial horse and keep on going. Every day is a new one and we won’t ever stop preaching consistency.

That’s because consistency is the actual magic. It’s you showing up for yourself and your family, friends and community. That how you’ll achieve your goals, whatever they may be.

We got you and we are here to support you. Have that in your pocket the next time you might need it :)

The week’s WODs:

1/8 - 1/13: Healthy Habits

Don’t forget to sign up for the annual FCCF Healthy Habits Challenge! Pick a habit (or a few!) you want to strengthen or start anew, write it on a January calendar, and add a sticker/mark for every day you meet your goals. Some examples:

  • Less/no booze

  • More sleep

  • More water

  • Less refined sugar

  • No phone in the bedroom

What better way than to kick start 2024 with some great new habits

1/2 - 1/6: Happy New Year!

Happy New Year folks! We’ll be kicking off our traditional Healthy Habits competition this week, so keep an eye out for challenge sheets in the gym.

Chose 3 habits to start or maintain for the month of January. Every day you keep the habit place a sticker on your sheet. At the end of the month we’ll do a lottery draw of our participants and you could win yourself some swag!

Here’s to kicking off the year on a great note :)
