With our aim to one day open our own gym and CrossFit box, we figured some market research would be a good place to start and what better place than the USA.

In just under four weeks time we will be flying in to San Francisco to begin our adventure! We plan to take a ‘CrossFitting’ and weightlifting pilgrimage along the West Coast finishing up in Sunny San Diego.

Emma will be charging towards every CrossFit box along the way, whilst I will have my sights set on those famous Muscle Beach style venues. Either way; sun, sea and lots of iron throwing will be forecast.

On a serious note, the aim will be to visit as many gyms as physically possible in our short three weeks. We will be taking notes – figuring out what we like in a gym, from the equipment and location to the finer details such as decor!

We will be continuing with our personal training programmes and doing our up most to resist the temptation of those infamous American butter pancakes!… Okay, so we may visit IHOP just the once #cheatmeal
