TIME KEEPING!

😂😂 I feel like I’m giving folk a row, I’ve had to address this before though.

Please be on time or as close to as possible. I know from time to time things can happen and people can run slightly late.

Yesterday we had 3 kids coming in at around 10 minutes late for the class. I have never before but refused the 3 of them as this class is 45 mins. 10 minutes late is a fair chunk of the class.

As in our code of conduct. Being punctual first and foremost is a sign of respect, it also ensures that all participants are warmed up correctly and reduces the risk of injury. It also stops any interruption to the class and the members in it.

This goes for the adults and children’s sessions.

Thanks.

A massive thank you and tremendous well done to the efforts of Connor and Fraser who smashed the half marathon today in Glasgow with a personal best performance.

These guys have their own reasons for supporting mental health and chose to raise funds to support BLAST as it aligns with similar morals and values of their own.

The biggest compliment as I personally only met Connor once and haven’t met Fraser but both like the values that BLAST has and what it offers and wanted to do what they could to support us.

A prime example of how BLAST really is much more than just boxing!

Thank you again guys 👌🏻❤️

The boys Conor and Fraser are out running a half marathon today to raise awareness around mental health.

They asked if they could donate any raised funds to blast as it relates a lot to them.

Please give the story a read and donate if you can or please share. 👌🏻❤️

Wee counter punching drill with Rob last night. To be fair, this was at the end of a tough session for him and he Donald ducked it a few times so it became a grind but getting that work in and always looking to improve 👌🏻🥊
