Paleo Challenge Cycle 5

By Gavin Heselton|2013-08-20T10:11:12+01:00August 20th, 2013|Paleo Spartans|

The CrossFit Glasgow Paleo Challenge is about to enter its 5th cycle. We have continued to amass knowledge and expertise from the world's best including: Robb Wolf, Chris Kresser, Stephanie Gaudreau McCormack, Dallas Hartwig, Diane San Filippo and John Welbourne, in order to bring you the very best of contemporary Paleo and sports performance nutrition knowledge. The Challenge will cost £125 and will consist of a seminar detailing the rationale for the contemporary paleo diet, the biological underpinnings of the diet, the criticisms and health implications of a mismanaged Paleo paradigm and will outline the specifics of the Challenge. The Challenge will last 90 days and is a serious endeavour for those who wish to attempt it - if you are unable to make a substantial commitment of time and effort to the program, we would strongly suggest that you take some time to evaluate whether this is the right time for you. The seminar will take place on the 31st of August and is open to any of our athletes who want to learn about the Paleo diet and embark on 90 day challenge with regular anthropometric testing, scored WODs and sweet prizes.

Happy new year from CFG! The gym is still operating on limited hours for the rest of this week so be sure to check the times to the right. We will be operating an 'open gym' for the rest of this week (Thursday onwards) in order to give us time to complete the work that is going on. If any of you love to tile or plaster, let us know, as for all the offers for painting, you time will come (end of Jan). We really appreciate your patience during these necessary changes and we hope that you'll enjoy the new look facility and the exciting possibilities it gives us for programming. From Monday 7th we hope to be back to regular working hours. There is no mobility. No Olympic lifting. On the weekend there will be a girls WOD at 11 on Saturday that will tackle problem lifts and pullup and muscle up progressions and Sunday there will be a hero WOD written up for you all to have a go at between 10 and 1. Fundamentals starts up on Monday 14th. There will be a few changes, the presses and deadlifts class will be merged and we are cutting it down to 2 classes per day, Monday to Thursday. 06.15 and 17.30. A timetable will be posted shortly. The next cycle of the paleo challenge has been delayed until after the refurb as we'll require the floor space and rig for testing. Please register your interest in cycle [...]
