Gymshark athlete Noah Ohlsen recently visited London to surprise the members of the ARC Athletics Club during the Cross Fit Games. Gymshark has recently helped the club move into its new building and thought it would be a great idea for Noah to guest coach their 7 am class.
Noah starts the session by joining in with the group’s warm-up and then goes on to run the rest of the class. Hip snatches, hang power snatches, hang squat snatches and low hang squat snatches are the movements that Noah demonstrates to the rest of the class, ensuring that everybody has picked up the correct technique for each exercise.
Each member is encouraged to have fun, breathe heavily, and most importantly – sweat.
After the class is finished, Noah sits with the founder of ARC Athletics Club as they discuss Matt Rowell’s rocky start to the business. Matt had previously found a location to move his club into, but after lots of neighborhood issues, he found himself with a hefty sum of legal fees. He decided to set up a GoFundMe, and with the help of Gymshark and many other supporters, Matt was able to open up ARC Athletic Club properly.
