What Exactly is Coaches Corner?

Each month, we will be hosting Coaches Corner, an education and networking evening at BLK BOX HQ. The idea behind these free workshops is to provide valuable education to those who want to up their coaching game. It's also a great way to meet likeminded people within the industry.

The topic will vary, from Weightlifting, CrossFit, Kettlebells, Strength and Conditioning, nutrition-focused and more! We would like to encourage you to join in the conversation and help make a difference to those we coach and train alongside.
