Newsletter from BK 19.8.
Hello, dear BK friends!
The holidays might be over but it doesn’t mean there’s nothing to celebrate...especially if you’re a climber! Renovated BK Konala is now open (woop!!). Tomorrow it will also host a shoe demo day (read more below!). And let’s not forget the familiar favorites: Training Groups, Jumppi and coachings like How to 7A that are starting in September! New things are coming up too, like mobility & movement classes!
Learn more below!
RENOVATED KONALA HAS NOW BEEN OPENED!
The renovation took a few days more than we originally thought but now the wait is over!
The bright white walls embroidered in pastel colours sparkle under the new bright fluorescent lamps! Almost all walls are already decorated with a great set of problems of various levels and guaranteed-BK quality. The tube will make us wait a moment longer for its sweet endurance demanding problems, but the Nordics' first Tension board 2 is now up and running!
The gym lovers will also have to keep their weight belts still in the closet before the gym is fully built. But you will definitely be able to get some movement in your joints in the new warm up area and your fingers can be warmed up on the wall as well, just avoid the most crimpy projects early in the session.
On the kids’ side we have plenty of problems for toddler sized to the more experienced youngsters! And a slide too, naturally ;)
So, see you at the renewed BK Konala!
OCUN SHOE DEMO AT KONALA 20.8.
This Tuesday is the perfect opportunity to come and visit the newly renovated BK Konala as we are also hosting Ocun's shoe demo tour on August 20th starting from 16:00!
During the shoe demo, you can test Ocun's shoes for free on the climbing wall in order to find your perfect fit! The models available for testing are: IRIS, SIGMA, OZONE, OZONE HV, FURY, BULLIT, HAVOC, JETT QC and STRIKER QC.
In addition, Ocun is organizing a competition and you get the chance to win Ocun shoes! Join the competition at the gym by scanning a QR code and filling a short questionnaire.
On the demo day you can order or buy featured Ocun shoes at a special price with a 10% discount! In the future, BK will only sell Ocun's Striker shoe model, but on this special day there will be a wide variety of models to choose from!
Welcome to test these quality shoes and come and have a chat with an Ocun shoe expert!
AUTUMN BRINGS WITH IT TRAINING GROUPS, JUMPPI CLASS, COACHING AND, AS A NOVELTY, MOBILITY & MOVEMENT CLASSES!
JUMPPI aka the free climbing lessons for 13-18-year-olds continue again on Thursdays at 16-17 at Espoo gym on the 5th of September!
Jumppi is a service provided by the City of Espoo and is therefore completely free. Read more here. Welcome!

How to 7A coaching is available again right from the beginning of September! Book your spot as soon as possible, as the coaching happens in small groups and places are limited!
In addition, we will soon start a new 'mobility & movement' class, led by our excellent professional Ialina. Here's what Ialina writes about the class:
"Welcome to take care of your body through mobility, body control and muscle activation! The mobility & movement class is suitable for everyone from beginners to competitive athletes. The classes will help you recover from exercise, increase mobility and prepare the body for future training. These classes cover different themes, such as hip mobility, shoulder flexibility, muscular well-being, as well as balance and coordination."
The mobility & movement class starts on September 4th at 9.00 and is held every Wednesday at BK Espoo. Duration 1h. Price 10€ (+ entrance) includes coffee or tea! More information coming to our website and social media soon!
