Winter's coming, Warriors, and we don't hibernate.

Dark mornings and wet evenings are where the real work gets done. From Sunday 1 November 2026 to Sunday 28 February 2027, every session you turn up to counts towards WINTER WARRIOR. Here are the full rules, and each month's winners.

How it works

Book on. Turn up. Sign in on arrival. Train hard.

Each month, the top attender from each park is crowned that park's Winter Warrior and wins a personalised Winter Warrior mug with their name and park on it. Your mug will be handed over at a session once it's printed. Everyone starts from zero each month.

The Rules

1. Dates: Winter Warrior runs from Sun 1 Nov 2026 to Sun 28 Feb 2027.

2. What doesn't count: bookings, no-shows and late cancellations. If you're not signed in, it doesn't count.

3. Every park counts: every session you attend at any of our parks counts towards your home park total.

4. Calendar months: each month runs from the 1st to the last day: November 1–30, December 1–31, January 1–31 and February 1–28. Everyone starts from zero each month.

5. The prize: each month, the top attender from each park is that park's Winter Warrior and wins a personalised Winter Warrior mug with their name and park on it. Winners are confirmed in the first couple of days of the next month, mugs are ordered once the winners are known, and your mug will be handed over at a session once it's printed.

6. Leaderboards: Leaderboards show first name and park only. Rather not be listed? Just tell your instructor or drop us a message and we'll leave you off.

FAQ

Do I need to book anything extra?

No. Book on through the members app as normal, come along, and make sure you're signed in on arrival. A booking on its own doesn't count.

What do I win?

Each month, every park's Winter Warrior wins a personalised Winter Warrior mug with their name and park on it. We order the mugs once the month's winners are known, and your mug will be handed over at a session once it's printed.

Can I opt out of the leaderboard?

Yes. Leaderboards show first name and park only. Rather not be listed? Just tell your instructor or drop us a message and we'll leave you off. You can still win.

How will I know who's won?

Winners are confirmed in the first couple of days of the next month. We'll name each month's Winter Warriors below, by first name and park.

When does each month start and end?

Winter Warrior uses calendar months: 1–30 November, 1–31 December, 1–31 January and 1–28 February.
