The inaugural Basix Complete was held today
at BasixGym. Neil, Kevin, Sammy, Ellie, Deborah
and Megan all took part and boy did they work hard.
Basix Complete has been set up by Ron and Neil
to provide their members, and of course any member of the
CrossFit community with an extra challenge.

For the inaugural Complete, Ron took the "Named WODs" (thanks to CrossFit for allowing us to use individual workouts) and extracted the individual disciplines. Eighteen were found that could be put into a workable order.
37 reps of each exercise meant that the total would be 666 - making it fall in with
the concept of Basix Complete to be a real "beast" of a workout, and what a beast it was.
With times around the 50 minute mark, the initial six gave everything they had and produced one hell of a workout - respect to you all. Below, Sammy Hill can be seen driving the bar
above his head on about round fourteen.
If you, like the rest of our members, are slightly deranged and would like to try a Basix Complete, it is our intention to present a fresh challenge each month and the most improved member will be presented with a trophy. We've already got the next one planned, which will be towards the end of September - so watch this space.
