Our First Group Get-Together – Hiking up The Wrekin

On Sunday 18th September, the members of Kee2Fitness in Wolverhampton took part in the first-ever get-together. 

The weather was great, and we met up at the car park to head up to the top of The Wrekin. It was the perfect Sunday morning hike, and just right for our first group adventure (not too hard or too easy).

Getting to know each other

As many of the members stick to their schedules, we often see the same few faces who join us for those time slots. This isn’t a bad thing as consistency is key when it comes to working out, but it does mean we don’t get to see all the other great members! 

This is why members of our gym love a get-together and why we have more coming up in 2023 already in planning (keep an eye out for those)!

On our way up to the peak, we got to know each other better as we shared stories and experiences. We laughed a lot, and it was great to chat with people who shared the same interest as us…working towards self-improvement! 

Enjoying the views

The hike up to the top was just right – not too strenuous but not too easy either. 

It was all worth it though when the team reached the top and was greeted with stunning views. We could see the whole of Shropshire and the Welsh borders. We had a break at the top for photos and obviously the most important thing, cookies!

Looking forward to next time

Our next get-together has already been set for a Christmas walk and breakfast. Kee2Fitness members, you can book on Quoox (it won’t take any of your credit, so don’t worry)!

As I briefly mentioned earlier too, we have some great adventures planned for 2023. The members who have already heard the plans are already getting out their hiking boots and trainers. Watch this space…

Our Hiking Adventure up Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa)

On Sunday 30th April, a group of brave Kee2Fitness members set out on a challenging journey up Snowdon. 

The team met at the Snowdon Mountain Railway at 9am, ready to take on the Llanberis path. 

The Llanberis Path

The Llanberis Path is a popular and well-marked trail up Snowdon. It starts at the village of Llanberis and takes hikers up a gradual incline to the summit. 

The path runs alongside the Snowdon Mountain Railway at certain points, providing hikers with glimpses of the steam train chugging up the mountain.

At the halfway point, there’s a little café where hikers can take a break and warm up with a hot drink. It’s a welcome sight for those who are feeling the effects of the challenging climb. 

Our average number of steps for the hike up Snowdon was 28,000, and the summit is 1085 meters high. 

However, this doesn’t include the first hill the team struggled up before the start of the path.

A Harsh Start

This hike was not for the faint of heart!

Extreme winds and rain pounded the team throughout the ascent. But despite the harsh conditions, everyone persevered and pushed on, determined to make it to the summit.

Sheep and Struggles

Along the way, the team encountered some interesting sights. They saw sheep dotting the mountainside and other hikers who were also struggling with the challenging conditions. 

Some adults and children were even crying, but the team remained determined to keep moving forward.

A Soggy Journey

The weather was unrelenting, and the team hardly had a chance to eat or take a break. They were soaked through, and many people had soggy walking boots that squelched with every step. 

An Unforgettable Journey

The hike up Snowdon was certainly one for the memory books. It was a true test of everyone’s resilience and determination. 

The team may not have enjoyed the views they were hoping for, but they did get a chance to bond over a shared experience.

Not for the Faint of Heart

As for whether anyone is up for it again next year? Well, let’s just say that people who took part may be turned away from that idea. But who knows, maybe they’ll be ready to battle the elements once again.

In the end, the hike up Snowdon was an incredible achievement. The team showed that they were up for a challenge and that they could conquer even the toughest of conditions. 

Come on team, let’s not forget, we’ve got a great story to tell for years to come!

Thank you to everyone who took part in this adventure, our members are the best!

The Kee2Fitness Santa Stroll

On Sunday 11th December, the Kee2Fitness members all met up for our Christmas get-together, a Santa Stroll!

We met at the Kee2Fitness studio at 9am, to start our icy stroll to The Barley Mow pub for breakfast. 

Then the snow began…

As the members were turning up, the snow started to fall. Lightly in Penn, but it did mean some of the members were unable to join us sadly from other areas. 

We made our way through the lightly snow-dusted roads of Penn, through fields and had encounters with the local wildlife along the way. All while getting to properly chat with our friends and have a laugh. 

The important part…breakfast!

We all piled into The Barley Mow pub for an amazing breakfast. Even Elvis, the Kee2Fitness Elf, decided to join us. 

We all had some giggles over the Christmas day dinner mishaps, shared stories, decided which our least favourite exercises were (spoiler: it is the Skierg) and laughed over the fact we all seem to struggle with our balance on the single leg exercises. 

As we sat together, drinking our hot drinks the snow began to get thicker and started to stick…even though some thought it might not.

The most magical and memorable walk back

We left the pub with a full stomach and set back to the studio, all while getting excited about our first encounter with ‘proper snow’ of the season! 

We obviously had to pose for another photo, especially as a few others managed to catch us up at the pub. 

Snowballs were thrown and laughing continued. We are really lucky to have such great members who all get stuck in and have fun. 

So the question is…

Who is up for the next social or should we say challenge? 

Thanks to all of those members who joined us, the ones who wanted to join us but couldn’t and generally a massive thank you to every member for being part of the team. 

Here’s to 2023 and lots more memories! Happy Holidays!
