Happy Holidays 2nd Class! Thank you very much to each and every one of you for being an amazing class. You have all worked so hard throughout the year and I am very proud of you all for the way you completed 2nd class during Covid -19. I loved seeing and chatting to you all during our Zoom quizzes. You were all brilliant. These bootcamp classes are not for the faint of heart. If you are ready to be pushed to your limits then get on board, the trainers at Effect Fitness play no games. But for me I would like to see the T-shirt’s being sold on the app or on the website. Also after a live workout I think it should be uploaded within an half hour of the class.
