It's always an honour and privilege to have Carlson's Mentors, great friends, and the founders of Trainer HQ at the CHF Studio. Carlson has been fortunate enough to be part of Trainer HQ for the past 6-7 years, growing into a Master Coach and giving back to the industry he loves.

CHF and the whole community wouldn't be where we are without the support of these amazing people and everything THQ has to offer. If was even more special to host another workshop with some of Carlson's own THQ business clients as well as the CHF Team to participate and to gain great knowledge on how to better ourselves as business owners.

CHF EASTER MEGA BURN CLASS! (March 2024)

This Easter Weekend we ran a Free Mega Class Session, open to members and new faces looking to try out what a Burn class really has to offer!

This was a great return for the Burn class after coming out of our 8 Week Blitz Bootcamp in which I know the long-standing class favourite will be sure to attract more faces.

One of the most rewarding and empowering sessions in our timetable, and we loved the huge turnout and the perfect weather on the day to be able to get some sets out in Christopher's Playground.

CHF Olympic Lifting Seminar 1 (September 2023)

Carlson ran the first CHF Olympic Lifting Seminar in the Studio! Teaching the fundamentals of the Snatch, and Clean & Jerk, all participants were able to receive first hand feedback on how to improve their technique to allow them to be more comfortable both during the lifts as well as during their own training.

Olympic Lifts such as these can seem daunting at first, but during this seminar we had all levels of experiences; complete beginners, casual lifters, and dedicated CrossFit and Olympic Lifters. All were able to learn from each other to get a 3rd person view on how the components of the lifts should look.

If you have ever wanted to take a new step in learning Olympic Lifts and don't know where to begin, keep an eye out for our next Seminar or book in a technique PT today!

Women Make Waves - Breathwork Seminar 2 (August 2023)

Sonia is back with another masterclass in Breathwork, this time she took the group through techniques to help with stress and anxiety, something that everyone goes through in one form or another.

We underestimate how big of an impact stress & anxiety can have on our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, and having Sonia here to guide everyone and help them take control of where they focus their energy has been an amazing opportunity.
