One of the biggest aspects of ForestFit during this last 6 months has been the community that has built up around the training. Friendships have been made, networking has taken place and new relationships forged. In fact this whole aspect of the training has taken Jess and I by surprise.
We have seen many of our members take on a support role for others when time things have got tough, some have taken on roles as strong motivators and leaders, and the bonding between people has been quiet heartwarming.
Today, we have a number of ForestFit members taking on a challenge many thought would have been impossible just a few short months ago. Tonight’s FakelLaf 5km run starting from the Belle Etoile is the culmination of some solid training habits many of these guys and girls have developed. They’ll be running for their own personal goals, sense of achievement and every one of them has been an inspiration to have got to this point. I am sure the community spirit will continue tonight helping and supporting each other around the course.
Next week we start the final ForestFit group for 2008 and I am sure this will continue to strengthen the community that has developed around it.
Good luck to those taking part tonight, I’ll see you there.

ForestFit in 352
31.10.08
I’m a little excited today… ForestFit got a full page article in 352 this week… AND a mention on the radio too (thanks Ros Brown :o)
Make sure you pick up your copy of 352 today at the usual stockists!!!
My kind thanks to Straun Johnston for pulling together the article. Straun has been on ForestFit for the last 2 months and has been keeping the male body count up each week, so that all the girls don’t just pick on me :o)
ForestFit November is filling up. With both a 7am and 9:30am group starting after the kids holidays on the 11th November. Don’t wait for next month as these are the last groups of 2008.
Register over at http://www.ForestFit.com right now.
ForestFit September
29.08.08Open for registrations, but only 6 places remain for the 7am group. This will probably be the last 7am group we run purely outside this year due to lack of light early morning. Get your place now at ForestFit.com
We also have our 09:30 group running again starting the 15th September. Register over at ForestFit.com
ForestFit Hardcore
01.08.08I didn’t want to do this, but in a moment of weakness I folded and agreed to set this up.
My summer break has just been disturbed by many of you guys desperate to join ForestFit during August.
So Jess and I have decided to run a Hardcore session twice a week in the evening on Monday and Wednesday.
Warning this is not for the faint hearted… you’ll be working hard, really hard.
Get over to ForestFit Hardcore to register today. It is a limited time offer, only 10 places available, and we start NEXT MONDAY!
ForestFit September 09:30
23.07.08Starting a week later than the 7am groups, we are running a 09:30 group again, once all the schools are back in session.
To register for this popular group get over to http://www.forestfit.com/forestfit-0930.html
ForestFit September
16.07.08So I have opened September ForestFit already. The main reason for doing it this early is because I am away for half of August and the first week in September so I want to get this rolling now to avoid to much computer time during my “holiday”
So to save my sanity and keep my wife from nagging me to get off the damn internet, I am asking you guys to sign up for ForestFit September nice and early
We start on September 9th at 07:00. and continue for 4 weeks.
We are going to try a slightly different approach with 2 groups of 15 people and split the experience/fitness levels a little to cater better for the slightly less fit members…
We already have 10 people signed up from the existing groups so only 20 places left at this point. July sold out in ONE WEEK! So I urge you to register online today to secure your place.
Go to http://www.forestfit.com to sign up right now!
ForestFit July
19.06.08ForestFit June was a sell out, 20 folk are currently being trained 3 times a week by GetFit.lu
Here is what some of them are saying:
“Today’s session was great, I can already feel my body - I think the next thing I’ll be doing today is going through my drawers trying to find that muscle cream
“
“Although enjoying just everything, Forest (left) is also my favourite. Am always a bit scared of everything other than the Playground LOL, but Forest (left) gets my adrenaline (and challenging myself to get out of my comfort zone
) “
“This morning was fun, it doesn’t seems as hard when there are games and races involved although its still a good workout
My arms will be sore tomorrow though! “
“I can feel myself getting stronger each week and with that comes an increased confidence to keep pushing myself, resulting in increased satisfaction, so all in all a win-win situation. While I am by no means the fastest/strongest person in the group, I still feel like each time I have pushed myself further than what I thought myself capable of - I have never once gone home thinking “that was easy”. Which goes to show how well you have designed these workouts, since there are obviously different levels of competence within a group that have to be taken into account.”
July is now open for registration over at http://www.forestfit.com
Reserve your place today!

PS. We are not doing an August group, so this is your last chance before we break for the Summer!
