Workout of the Day A. 20 rep max back squat - this is the third week in a row we have programmed this workout, it's a great chance to keep track of a simple strength progression, even it you go just 1kg heavier than last week.  Give it your best shot.  A coach will give you appropriate assistance work afterwards. Tonight there is no 19.15 class, instead our resident physiotherapist Jonny Kilpatrick will be hosting a mobility class.  Open to members and non-members this class costs just £3 per person and will last the full hour.  This is a great education and eye opener to midline stabilisation, range of motion and managing muscle tightness.  Well worth a visit.

Tonight at 19.15 there will be no WOD, instead Ray Cavanagh of Weightlifting Scotland will be teaching weightlifting, this class is open to all and costs just £3 per person. We would also like to mention the fantastic effort put in by CFG at the Manchester Central Games, well done to Mat, Emma, Rona and Colin.  They completed not only a number of familiar exercises but also an open water swim!  Some photos will follow shortly, we are immensely proud of you!
