THAT WAS AUGUST
1,000,0000 😉 of you through the door.
Not one quiet session.
Sleds moved. Bars went up. Ice got colder.
And nobody did it on their own.

You make this place what it is.
September, let’s go again - Meet you at the Playground

It was never about building a gym.

It was always about building a community.

The evolution continues. ⭕️

Private hire 4/4 was an unusual sesh as we skated the rail pretty intensely! Great fun though!

Thanks again, as always, to everyone that come and supports us here at CR!

We’ll be back in the autumn with more @rampworldcardiff sessions but keep your eyes peeled for local and street sessions in the coming months 👍

FEBRUARY @ UFIT 🚀

No slow starts. No winter dip. Just upgrades. What a month!

🔥 Athlete Kitchen is officially OPEN – fuelling sessions properly. No more surviving on vibes and caffeine.

🏋️ New Powerlifting Area launched – built for numbers, not selfies.

🏆 Hosted our first ever WPA Powerlifting Competition – platforms loaded, standards high, atmosphere unreal.

🔁 Old guard stepping on. New blood stepping in. The Playground evolves.

More kit. More structure. More ambition.

This isn’t a gym.
It’s a movement.

If you’re watching from the sidelines… you already know.

DO UFit.

New faces.
Day one warriors.
No shortcuts. No excuses.

This isn’t a gym you join.
It’s something you show up for.

Whether it’s your first session or your thousandth
you train the same way.
You graft.
You earn it.

Welcome to the Playground.
DO UFit. 🧡💥

✨2025✨

Grew a mullet
Moved to a new city
Did a lot of cool powerlifting things(too many to count)
Got a dog (Big Brucey)
Tore a pec
Still didn’t PB total
Saw 2 new countries
Watched WWE Live
Turned 30
Saw the best band in the world twice
Went to the US twice
First Thanksgiving
Got adopted

A pretty non stop year that has challenged me in more ways than I could’ve expected, but leaving it excited for what is to come in 2026.

2025. PART 3. THE FINAL CHAPTER. 🖤

This one isn’t about shiny kit or square footage. It’s about people.

The graft. The comebacks. The courage. The laughs. The tears.
The daft beach photos. The podium moments. The charity miles.
The reps nobody saw. The days you nearly didn’t come, but did anyway.

From Khalid’s return to the platform after years of injury, squatting 227.5kg, benching 170kg and deadlifting 240kg, to European medals, Welsh titles and monster totals.

From Mum & Me Fit exploding into a full-blown movement, mums finding their strength, confidence and community again, to Girl ULift proving once and for all that consistency is queen.

From HYROX podiums and smashed PBs, to Joe’s gymnastics crew doing things they never thought possible.
From Macmillan fundraisers and Bigmoose charity runs, to Barry Island farewells, sunsets, sack races and 100km madness around Cardiff.

Early risers.
Lunchtime grafters.
After-work grinders.
Weekend warriors.

Every rep. Every cheer. Every high-five. Every “one more round”.
You’ve built something rare here, a community that genuinely shows up for each other.

And now we look forward.

Here’s to 2026.
The UFit expansion is coming together and we cannot wait to see how far this crew pushes their limits in the new space.

More space. More opportunities. Same fire.
Built Different.
