Events in August / September
There is a lot happening this month so I thought it would be a worth a separate post. This week: CrossFit Lite: Monday, Tuesday and Friday at 17:00. This class is our introduction to CrossFit, it costs just £5 to attend and there is no minimum standard. These classes focus on teaching the correct technique for all the big lifts as well as your metabolic conditioning whilst keeping the load low. Weightlifting: Tuesday and Thursday at 19:30 with Colette and Louise. This class costs just £3 and you do not need to be a member of CFG to attend. There is no minimum standard. This month: CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Course: Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th. Unfortunately this means the gym will be closed for the weekend. CrossFit Strongman: Saturday 15th. Rob Orlando returns to CFG to teach his strongman course for the third year running. This is a one day event that covers all the technique for the main strongman movements. This is one of the cheapest CrossFit seminars and one of the most fun to attend, you do not need to be a coach to attend or benefit from this course. The gym will be closed on Saturday.

Fundraiser For Kobe @CFEK
On Sunday 23rd June 2013, 12 year old Kobe Barber and a selection of his friends will be taking part in a sponsored "FIGHT GONE BAD" at CrossFit East Kilbride, with the help of CrossFit Glasgow, to raise funds for "Kobe's American Dream" and "NCDS". “Kobe’s American Dream" is a fund that was set up to assist financially with Kobe's selection for Team GB and their attendance at the AAU & FIRS World Inline Puck Hockey Championships being held in California this July. "NCDS" is the National Deaf Children’s Society. A charity set up to remove the barriers to the achievement of deaf children throughout the worldand is a charity dear to Kobe's heart as following an ear disease; he has been left partially deaf. Kobe is proud of his sporting achievements despite his set back, and has pledged to donate 50% of all money raised to the charity. In his words "I am lucky enough to be achieving good things in sport, maybe the money can go to help someone else do the same” Sponsor Sheets will be available at CFEK and we will be taking donations at the Team Linda event at CFG, but you can still donate via your PayPal account using the email address kad.ncds@gmail.com: just go to https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/send-money-online All donations are welcome; however donations of £5 or more will be automatically entered into a raffle to win £100 of NEXT vouchers.
