What an awesome crew! Thank you guys for making it out to Cyprus for a week with us! #beachesandbarbells #aweekofgains #goodtimes #owenboxall #turtleman

When planning our @beachesbarbells holidays we always aim for the right balance of training and holiday. Whilst each of us has our own expectation of what that may be, the good thing is that our guests are always in control. It's up to you how hard you push yourself in every training session. And if you fancy skipping a session one morning and sipping a raspberry mojito by your hotel pool feel free - it's your holiday and we know how much it means to you. Here we have commonwealth champion @owenb5566 giving one of our regular guests @coachbigshaf a one on one feedback session. It's what we call the Beaches and Barbells touch.

We have always believed that in an individual sport, individual feedback and attention is essential to your development.
That is why at every single Beaches and Barbells event you get a personal feedback session with the main coach such as Commonwealth Games Bronze Medalist @owenb5566 revealing secret knowledge to @_olyfitness and @andymckenna07 on a swing...in Cyprus 😎 @guababeachbar
If you want to take your CrossFit skills and knowledge to the next level and learn from r...egionals Athlete @jamesstleger join us in September in Cyprus! This isn't just a "wod out and get sun burnt" holiday - expect to come away with better skills and more knowledge (and probably sun burn!). Not to mention your 4 star luxury hotel 🏖

The holiday was well run and the hosts made sure everyone had fun. The training facility was good with lots of equipment and a great atmosphere. We had good down time as well as being shown around Cyprus and the water park!

The combination of great training, great location and fantastic like minded people...... makes a perfect Holiday. So happy to have experienced it, learnt a lot and met amazing people.

The atmosphere over the entire weekend was great and pushed everyone to bring their A-game. The coaches were knowledgable and passionate about weightlifting and always kept things interesting. A wide range of topics and exercises were covered over weekend and I think everyone could learn something from a session with the Beaches and Barbells coaching staff. Looking forward to taking what I've learnt and implementing it into my training.

Such a fantastic holiday, had the best time learning so much from the amazing coaches, meeting great people and having loads of fun! Everything was very well organised, with training facilities and location on point!

If something beats this weekend, I'd be very surprised. Thanks to Beaches and Barbells for fantastic opportunity to train in such a great facilities, thanks to all coaches for their patience, correcting, tips and priceless advice, it was really pleasure and great experience to meet you all as well as spend time and train with other weightlifters. Thanks to my coach Ben for bringing me into this, I will definitely recommend your trainings to athletes of all levels and I hope to see you soon.

I've just come back from a week in Cyprus with Beaches and Barbells. It was the best holiday I've ever been on. A perfect balance of weightlifting, good food, good coffee, sun and relaxing on the beach. I loved spending time with such a fun group of lifters and two seriously elite level coaches in Kristian McPhee and Owen Boxall. Wonderful coaches - I learnt a huge amount and I added 2kg to my snatch PB and 5kg to my clean and jerk PB. I've taken away so much great advice from the trip that I'm already using in my training back home and I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for the next Beaches and Barbells weekends and holidays.

I recently got back from the Cyprus Weightlifting holiday. It was the perfect mix of training and relaxing. The coaching was amazing with a really great group of people. I would absolutely recommend it and I’ll definitely be going back.

I just came back from the weightlifting holiday in Cyprus which absolutely exceeded my expectations!



Firstly, the quality of the training was top notch with both coaches Kristian McPhee and Owen Boxall putting an awful lot of effort into making the sessions as valuable as possible for each and every participant. This meant adapting the programming, giving extra queues but also bringing loads of positive energy and motivation at all times. In addition, they were always willing to answer questions and share additional information outside of the sessions. Not surprisingly everyone managed to come back with a PB and some serious technique gainz.



Secondly, this trip also really allows to relax amongst all the training since everything is very well organised from the moment you arrive. Plus the hotel was very nice and located only 10 min away from a friendly crossfit gym.



Finally, everyone who came to Cyprus was absolutely lovely and fun to spend a week with so it’s also a great chance to meet like minded people.



In short: Beaches & Barbells rock so I will be surely coming back! Thank you Owen & Kristian for such an amazing week :)

I could not recommend one of their training weekends enough as it was so good! I learnt so much and improved so quickly through brilliant coaching. Get booked in people but make sure you don't nick my space ;)

I Thoroughly enjoyed the Cyprus Crossfit holiday, great coaches along with great coaching, i learnt so much and pushed myself a lot more in that week and was a able to reach some pbs aswell! i definitely recommend this holiday and i will definitely be signing up again for next year.

Thanks guys for an amazing holiday!

Had an amazing time in Cyprus while on a Olympic Weightlifting Holiday with Beaches and Barbells. The accomodation were 5*, The training facilities were 5* and the coaching 10*.



Having competed in this sport for 4 years its not just the physical aspect which needs to be coached its the mental. Both Kristian and Owen did a tremendous job in both areas.



I will booking again for next year

Great weekend, the guys know really know their stuff, they are also very friendly and approachable. A good balance between training, eating/resting and training again. I would thoroughly recommend it. If I could justify the time away from my family I'd been on the holiday like a shot!

Great training with great coaches and great lifters joining the holiday. And on top of that, a great hotel to rest and relax. Perfect offer for whoever want to go away for a week and improve

Great holiday!! The week was well organised and structured, learnt loads and met some incredible people! Coaches were amazing... passionate about what they do and know their stuff! 100% booking up next year!

Great 3 day level 1 Weightlifting course, thanks �

For me, the Beaches and Barbells training holiday was a fantastic experience, set in an ideal location. The coaching was second to none, learning so much from the very best and living a piece of their world for what seemed like a very short week.

Be it the place to learn from scratch or perfect your techniques to achieve greater goals, you'll be made to feel welcome whatever your level, while having a whole lot of fun at the same time.

Fantastic weight lifting holiday! Top class coaches, beautiful hotel, the perfect mix of training, relaxing and socializing. If you want to improve your weight lifting, get a tan, and hang out with lovely people I totally recommend it.

Excellent training camp and holiday - really tailored to what gains we wanted and very personal and professional. Each session was different and more challenging than the last. Highly recommend to trainers at all levels

Awesome Crossfit holiday, beautiful resort, great personalized coaching, lots of fun, sun and sand. Could've wished for a better active holiday, defo going back ���
