Podcast #5: Two Fascinating Members Who Escaped Persecution For Standing Up For What Is Right

I’m not going to lie, this was emotional. I was in two minds about whether to publish this, but I feel that these two people’s story needs to be told.

They are refugees, from Iran, and have an amazing story to tell. We didn’t get into too many details because I felt actually some of their experiences are probably too raw to talk about.

Long story short, they escaped Iran because of the activism that they were doing. What I find astounding as that they are two educated people. Who were successful in their own right having to leave a country they were both contributing to.

Needless to say it was a fascinating conversation, one which I have more questions and hopefully will get a chance to speak with them again.

Podcast Episode 1 – Persistence Pays Off

Welcome to the very first podcast. I’ve wanted to cover a lesson that I’ve learnt along the way of running CrossFit Chichester, and how it’s helped me get through tough times.

I’ve been wanting to do a podcast for a while and this is where it all started!

Thanks for listening,

Archie

5 Years On – Here’s Where it Began

Here are some pics from the old gym. You can find it on our facebook page too, but here are some we picked out:

My first client – my lovely wife Lydia.

Workout done. Henry asleep on the mats. I feel really guilty now looking back.

Steve and I building the monster rig. It cost half the amount of a standard rig, but took about a week to build and 10 people to help build it. Never again.

The old gym looked so bright until we put the matting down!

The final stages of the gym coming together. We learnt a lot.

Member of The Week – Sam Housten – 21st January 2019

Sams devilish sense of humour and keen wit have been a stalwart of our classes since she joined last year. Consistent in all her training, developing more and more strength, has been showing excellent gains with her pull-ups and box jumps. Still working on the upper body strength to develop a stronger overhead press, Sams attitude has been one of consistency, which is what we look for in any successful athlete. It’s always great to have her in class, and look forward to seeing how her pursuit of the zone diet improves her performance further.
