The showers will be out of service today but should be back in use tomorrow. Thank you for your patience while we refurbished the facilities: I can assure you that you won't be disappointed. Our new rig should be with us in the next 2 weeks - perhaps not that relevant right now but it should be sweet. End of the Open The CrossFit Games Open has come to a close after 5 weeks of speculation, anticipation and hard work. The gym was packed out every weekend with the amazing support and the dedication of our own athletic community and it is testament to the ethos that pervades CrossFit Glasgow that we closed out the games as the largest team in Europe and the only European team to make the top 10 largest teams in the world. We will endeavour to make CFG a world force every year from here on in through our ongoing participation in the CrossFit community at large and by continuing to develop our athletes, our coaching and our facility as world leaders in the sport.

It is here. We've waited a year for this day to come and it is finally upon us. The Reebok CrossFit Games 2013 has arrived and as of this moment every one of the 174 members that has registered so far is officially a competitive athlete. Whether this is your first year or you are a Games veteran, whether you have just completed your fundamentals or you have competed at Regionals: these are your Games and nobody's score means anything except your own. If you simply give everything you can. If you give your biggest lift, your fastest time or just hold on until the timer hits zero: you will know you have done your all, and nobody can take that from you. CrossFit Glasgow, you are ready.

WOD Thursday 21st of February ’13

By Gavin Heselton|2013-02-20T21:58:05+00:00February 20th, 2013|CrossFit Games Open 2013|

Yet another black box session at CFG: You love them. There will be no mobility WOD with Jonny from Physio Effect this Thursday but he should be back to business as usual next week. This Sunday at 10am there will be a handstand master class with Omercan Cirit of Glasgow Parkour Coaching. As the CrossFit Games Open draws ever closer it's absolutely vital that you prepare yourself for the unknown and unknowable. This class is not to be missed. You may have heard us mention the CrossFit Games Open. Maybe. We are currently the largest team in Europe and are hanging in for a top 3 spot worldwide. We are 6 places behind Equipe CrossFit Laval in Canada, with whom we've had an entertaining tit for tat battle for the top spot for the past 2 weeks. We were shocked to see CrossFit NYC go top in a single day with 196 registered athletes but we are still definitely in the game: even at 54 places behind this American giant we have the numbers to make up the deficit. I know. I counted. If you have not already done so, take a minute and contribute to making CrossFit Glasgow a part of history by adding your name to the affiliate roster today. Register for the CrossFit Games Open 2013.

Annie Thorsdottir will be defending her title from stiff competition in the USA while the UK No. 1 Samantha Briggs makes a return from injury: could this be her year? CrossFit Glasgow will be programming and validating all of the workouts from this year's Open competition: The Open constitutes a series of online qualifiers that will see the progression of the best male and female individuals and best teams to the European Regional competition and ultimately to The Games.
