Today marks the 6 month anniversary of the opening of CrossFit Glasgow. This time in September we had no idea that we'd have been met with this kind of runaway success so soon: only 6 months down the line and we've built a great community of over 100 dedicated and capable athletes. We are currently ranked as the 22nd fittest Box in Europe, standing a real chance of qualifying for Regionals, and have the 3rd biggest European team entered into the Games this year. We have been granted permission to host the Weightlifting Scotland Scottish Open and big things are on the horizon for the summer. Whether you've been a member for 6 months or 6 minutes you have all contributed to keeping the doors open and the atmosphere electrifying. Every day we come down we are simply blown away by the hard work, skill and character of all our members and you have all made it a job we love. It is all of you who make the box what it is and we literally could not have done it without you. So, on behalf of all the staff at CFG we offer a massive THANK YOU! Keep up the good work and the next 6 months promise to be as exciting and inspiring as the last.

Well done to all who took part in the 12.1 Open WOD over the weekend, what an amazing atmosphere at CrossFit Glasgow! Could hear us down the street screaming support for our athletes through those tough minutes, we may be relatively new but we are showing Europe and the world that we are determined and we are here to stay. WODs this week will run at regular times as will the speciality classes. So in short: Tuesday - Olympic Lifting at 8pm. Get some final practice in on those speed/power lifts in case it turns up for 12.2! Wednesday - Mobility at 7.15pm. Learn and develop your mobility before the Open 12.2 WOD. Thursday - 12.2 Open WOD all day and parkour at 7pm. Saturday - Girls WOD 11am. Skills and WODs designed for those specific skills the ladies find tricky!

Today and tomorrow we are going to try and rattle out the last of the judging and scores we will open at 9am today and 10am Sunday, this is a new thing for us coaches as well so we will not be programming WODs.  However, for those that have done their burpees or are not taking part, the gym will be open and we will also put up a WOD to get on with in an open gym environment. For everyone who is yet to register for the Games, get on it, get on it now.  The first event is just burpees and every member counts for us. As we get something for having the most members in Europe, which we are close to obtaining, so let's show everyone how close-knit a gym we are and come down and partake in the Open.  You don't have to come top, you just have to do your best and know you are a better athlete from the experience of digging deep. WOD 7min AMRAP Burpees OR 7min AMRAP 3 power cleans 75/50 20 wall balls On a final note:  some of you may have noticed that Steve has been missing for a few months (the guy on the right in the slider image), he has been away training for the fire service in Gullane and finishes in just a few weeks.  He has been placed at Polmadie so expect to see him about a lot more often.  Congratulations Steve!

Well done all who took part in the Open workout yesterday, CrossFit Glasgow was buzzing!  Remember you have until Sunday to get the WOD done and submit your final score. Today is the final Paleo Challenge Cycle 3 retest.  Please be sure to get your measurements and photos completed ASAP and if for any reason you are having difficulty making it in to the gym then contact myself or Gavin.
