Note open training is for AJF regulars only, to practice flows and combos they can safely do. It is not a place for trying new things or things you require spotting in. For those things, book a class or 121. Open training is a chance to refresh what you have done in class, to improve technique, grace and fluidity. Or to work on choreographing your own routines. You are expected to have a lesson plan with you for your training session.
We expect a minimum of 12weeks consecutive training with us, you must then be approved to open train by an AJF staff member. If you’d like to discuss whether open training is right for you, please contact Amanda directly.

Your price will change if you
- Take out a membership after 30th March

Pole Open Workout 2024
For those that haven’t heard of “the open” in the fitness (or more specifically) in the CrossFit community, it is an annual event, set over 3 weeks, with 3 workouts.
As some light fun, we decided to this week launch our own “pole open” a series of 3 pole workouts to be timed and scored over the three weeks!
AJF Pole open workout 1:
- 10 cartwheel kicks
- 6 pole climbs
- 10 cartwheel kicks
To be completed in under 5 minutes, as quickly as you can!
WINNER of part 1 goes to – the super speedy and super competitive Johanna Pascumal with a record score of 61seconds!!! Can she stay top for week 2?
AJF Pole open workout 2:
- 1 side climb
- 1 floor shoulder-mount tap
As many as you can in 2minutes. You must alternate climbing legs and your total number of floor taps = your total score.
Good luck!!!
Dream Team
It’s been a while since our last newsletter – so we’d like to take this opportunity to welcome Amber our newest member to the teaching team!
Amber first tried pole at university, having never found a hobby or sport she enjoyed and it completely transformed her life! Not only did pole make her stronger, but she gained confidence in herself and found it a great way to socialise.
If you haven’t already done a class with Amber, you can join her Wednesdays & Thursdays for beginners. Amber is also available for privates on request. For details pop her a message or email info@ajfitness.co.uk
Best wishes
Amanda & the AJF team xx
