OK, so as of this past weekend, SPQR Fitness has become GU1 Strength and Conditioning and is now a full CF affiliate as CrossFit GU1 (Guildford's post-code).
The reasons for the change are many, not least the plan to start opening it up and actually getting paid for this thing. We have 8-10 members depending on the month and it's getting to the point where my garage won't cut it any longer. I have been looking for premises and had some productive meetings with other gym owners to try to figure out where we can take this and what to expect.
One of the guys I train is interested in investing in the business but wanted to be a CrossFit affiliate from a purely marketing and named recognition point of view. I also argued for the need to dual brand "just in case" and thus "GU1 Strength and Conditioning/CrossFit GU1" was born.
Look for a rollout over the next few months, in addition to the starting of Krav Maga classes.
Exciting time for us, and I hope you'll all wish us the best.
Cheers
S.

Of course - all the best!
This all sounds very exciting! Hope to drop in sometime when you're all up and running - for CF and Krav!
