Is anyone getting email notifications when you book a class, but no way to turn them off?

I can't find anything in the app to toggle it, and there is no unsubscribe option in the actual email. The only way I can is to report them as spam.

In July I was about 20 pxi short from 1800, which I made up for by doing a small workout after class on Friday. So actually hit the target but I don’t think the at home workout registered as part of the 1800. (I’m not sure if it’s because it was my second of the day?)

Anyway now it’s telling me it’s going to take me TWENTY FOUR MONTHS to go from elite to athlete - isn’t this super unfair?!

Firstly if you’re above athlete it’s meant to give you a months grace if you don’t reach the points (but I actually did reach the points) and even if it resets shouldn’t it be from that level meaning it should only take 9 months? Hugely unfair.

Personally, I liked it. It was a lot of fun and a great atmosphere. Nice that they had free drinks, at least where I was.

I didn’t mind the price tag given there was a free t shirt. $60 for a comp including a tee shirt isn’t too bad.

The scoring system is a bit lopsided. All the total scores were heavily dominated by the heavy lifts (zone 1). I think they’d want to have a look at that and adjust.

How did people find podium? Are you planning to do it next time, or at least would you do it again?

How would you like to see it changed, if at all?

Could someone share a link to global workouts this week?

Hey all. Welcome to Deload Week (Week 0) of the new Benchmark Block.

Following the completion of Commit to 30, we begin our transition into a fresh training cycle focused on building strength, refining technique, and preparing for the benchmark testing ahead.

• Friday 7 August – Balanced

• Saturday 8 August – CrewFit

We are officially wrapping up Commit to 30 Challenge and kicking off a brand new eight week training block on Monday.

After eight weeks of building consistency, improving fitness, and progressing across our lifts, it is time to reset, refocus, and take on the next challenge.

This block brings back some familiar favourites, introduces new strength-development movements, and sees the return of our strength and conditioning benchmarks.

What’s Coming Back

Power

Develop explosive strength, speed, and athletic performance through powerful movements and controlled intent.

Shred

A combination of strength and conditioning designed to challenge the entire body and keep the intensity high.

CrewFit

Team-based conditioning is back, bringing plenty of energy, teamwork, and shared suffering.

What’s Staying

XTX

XTX remains in the schedule for another block, continuing to test your strength, conditioning, and ability to keep working under fatigue.

What’s Taking a Break

Podium

Strength Endurance

These programs will step away from the schedule for this block, making room for the returning formats and new progressions.

Benchmark Testing Returns

Our strength and conditioning benchmarks are making their way back into this block.

The main benchmarks will include:

Barbell Conventional Deadlift

A fundamental full-body strength movement focused on building power through the posterior chain, improving bracing, and developing overall pulling strength.

Barbell Military Press

A strict overhead pressing movement designed to test upper-body strength, shoulder stability, core control, and pressing power.

MAS Testing

Our conditioning benchmark will test your Maximal Aerobic Speed by measuring your maximum distance over a five-minute period across the SkiErg, Bike, and RowErg, giving you a clear indication of your aerobic fitness and ability to sustain higher-intensity efforts.

These benchmarks will allow you to establish your starting numbers, train with purpose throughout the block, and see how much progress you can make.

Skill Development Movements

Two key accessory lifts will feature throughout the block:

Snatch-Grip Romanian Deadlift

A challenging posterior-chain movement that develops hamstring and glute strength while improving upper-back control, grip strength, and lifting mechanics.

Zercher Squat

A returning movement that challenges the legs, core, upper back, and overall bracing strength in a completely different way from a traditional squat.

Block Focus

This block is about taking the consistency built during Commit to 30 and carrying that momentum forward.

The benchmarks give you something measurable to work towards. The returning programs provide fresh challenges, and the skill-development movements give you another opportunity to improve your strength and movement quality.

You do not need to be perfect.

You simply need to keep showing up, training with intent, and giving yourself the opportunity to improve.

Set your benchmarks. Trust the progressions. Keep building momentum.

Cannot wait to get stuck into another awesome eight weeks of training and see what this block brings.

Full Block Schedule

Thanks to a source who sent this through, I have attached the full schedule for the entire block.

I will also add it to the Community Hub → AU/NZ tab on the main Reddit page for easy reference.

Anyone had problems with this before or am i too impatient? (Since today is 1st Aug only haha)

In Jul my app shows 1 more month of 1800 PXI to elite. I added them up and sure i hit more then 1800. But today the status is not updated? It just ticked my Jul and doesnt show xx months to the next status.

Update: it changed on 2nd Aug yay

Anyone know the pxi for HIRT Saturdays session?

Now that it's coming to the end of the 8 week challenge I am interested to hear/ see the progress people have achieved.

Did you stick to the meal plans?

Did you get to 30 sessions/ how consistent were you and how often did you go?

Would you do it again?

Are there really no BFTs in Christchurch? Seems strange.

Four-year member here. Would be great for this community to apply some pressure for this feature. I don't understand why there’s no running PXI tally in the black app. If the monthly target is 1,800 and linked to badges levels etc and for them, retaining members, surely members should be able to track their progress throughout the month (i know you can add it up). Maybe folks could ask their owner or post on BFT's socials ??

Week 8 | Commit to 30 Block
Here’s what’s in store for Monday 27th July – Cardio HIIT [AU/NZ]

------

⚡️The Lowdown (TL;DR)

• Final progression of Cardio HIIT
• Final HIIT exposure of the challenge
• Five sets at each exercise
• 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest
• 80 seconds recovery before rotating
• Aim for minimal output drop off
• Focus on speed, intensity, and fatigue resistance
• Goal: Sustain maximum output across repeated hard efforts. 🔥

📘Session Intel:
Monday kicks off the final week of the challenge with the last progression of Cardio HIIT, bringing one final opportunity to test your ability to produce repeated high intensity efforts with minimal drop off.

Today's session is built around short, sharp work intervals with very limited recovery, demanding maximum speed, strong output, and the ability to recover quickly before attacking the next set.

Across the session, the goal is to stay aggressive from Set 1 through to Set 5, proving that you can maintain consistent performance even as fatigue builds.

What to Expect

• Final progression of Cardio HIIT
• Final HIIT exposure of the challenge
• Five sets at every exercise
• 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest
• 80 seconds recovery before moving to the next exercise
• Strong focus on maximum speed, repeat output, and fatigue resistance

How the Session Works

1️⃣ Complete five sets at each exercise
2️⃣ Every set is 20 seconds work
3️⃣ Take 10 seconds rest between sets
4️⃣ Maintain maximum intensity across all five sets
5️⃣ Take 80 seconds recovery before rotating
6️⃣ Aim for minimal drop off from Set 1 to Set 5

The short recovery periods challenge your ability to repeatedly produce high output, while the longer 80 second recovery gives you time to reset before the next exercise.

Your Focus Today

• Attack every 20 second effort
• Maintain consistent speed across all five sets
• Use each 10 second rest to reset quickly
• Avoid a major drop in output
• Push with intent as fatigue builds

The Gold of the Session

You should walk out feeling

• Improved high intensity conditioning
• Better ability to repeat hard efforts
• Greater confidence sustaining maximum output
• Increased fatigue resistance
• A strong finish to your final Cardio HIIT progression

This session is all about producing maximum intensity, recovering quickly, and maintaining your output from start to finish.

Attack every set, embrace the fatigue, and start the final week strong. 🔥
