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. Games Open workout 13.1 will be run as the WOD on Friday: all athletes are asked to turn up promptly to the class times and to bring all necessary kit. Wrist wraps, Voodoo Floss bands, tape and speed ropes will be available for purchase for those that require them. The Saturday and Sunday open gym sessions will be suspended to run heats of the Games WOD for all athletes. Please be prompt and sign up to one of the heats on the board as soon as you arrive. Any athlete who wishes to judge should first complete the Online Judges Course via the CrossFit Games site and should ideally have either coaching or competition experience. Level 1 CrossFit trainers are not required [...]

Movember Mo’down

By Gavin Heselton|2011-11-29T00:07:14+00:00November 29th, 2011|Events, Information|

You may have noticed some decidedly dodgy facial hair in the box of late but I can assure you that we are not in the middle of a 70s revival - our coaches and many of our members are showing their support for testicular cancer by growing ridiculous 'taches for the month of Movember. We'd like to invite you all to the first annual CrossFit Glasgow Mo'down - an evening dedicated to friendly competition in order to raise money for a fan'tache'tic cause. Pairs of athletes will battle it out for Movember mastery through a series of challenging WODs where all contenders must sport a nose-broom; either home-grown or artificial. As always there will be a great community atmosphere and the chance to win prizes for best athlete pair. Entry to the Mo'down will require you to donate 5 pounds to CrossFit Glasgow's Mo'Space and to sport a moustache, either real or artificial (drawn on will suffice). The Mo'down is open to all irrespective of gender or ability. The WOD itself will run from 19.15 on Wednesday 30th Movember 2011. Sorry for the short notice. Register your interest on the site or our Facebook page; join the team at the link below; pre-arrange a pair or simply turn up. What Mo' could you ask for? http://mobro.co/CrossFitGlasgow2012
