Workout of the Day
Workout of the Day A. 1x 100m yoke carry 150/100 B. 1x 100m sled pull/drag C. 3x 100m sprint Tomorrow, there is no girls WOD at 11am. Instead we are hosting an annual meeting. It has been 2 years since we opened and a lot has happened/changed. We would like to share our thoughts and experiences with you all as well as share our intentions for CFG over the next 12 months. We hope to see a lot of familiar faces!
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.
This Saturday morning CrossFit Glasgow "Reebok Recognised" will be hosting a meeting to discuss the development of CrossFit Glasgow from its humble beginnings, to its present state and beyond. We will begin the proceedings at 11.00 As Glasgow's largest and longest running CrossFit facility continues to grow within our own community, already one of the largest in the UK, we will seek to raise our profile throughout Europe and farther afield. We have already taken one of our athletes and coaching staff, Steph Dekker, to European Regionals and the CFG team represented on the main stage as the largest in Europe (185 registered members) and the 9th largest in the world (out of over 6,500 gyms worldwide). This is a path we would very much like to continue and we view the meeting this weekend to discuss the future of the CFG community as we expand into a dedicated competition facility that will allow us to accommodate the additional training requirements of the competitive CrossFit athlete and those that have progressed to a point where aspects of their programming require more focused attention. The new facility will enable us to include a CrossFit Kids program, CrossFit Strongman training, Westside Barbell/CrossFit Powerlifting programming, and team training all under the guidance of Glasgow's only qualified coaching staff. We will also be discussing upcoming events including Rob Orlando's Strongman Tour and seminar; the U63kg and U75kg World's Strongest Women competitions we are hosting; CrossFit Endurance, CrossFit Powerlifting, CrossFit Rowing, CrossFit Mobility with Kelly [...]

Tomorrow evening instead of the 19.15 WOD there will be a mobility session with Jonny Kilpatrick of Physio Effect. There are still places available on this weekend's fundamentals refresher session: If you struggle with any of the elements that you experience in the WODs, please take this opportunity to refine your skill set.
Our coaching team would like to offer all of our members the opportunity to attend a two day fundamentals refresher course at CrossFit Glasgow this coming weekend. The purpose of the event is to cover the basic skills required for CrossFit training in concise and comprehensive format to establish and maintain more effective movement in the basic lifts and gymnastic elements. Coaching input will be delivered by both our senior and our junior coaches with time and resources available for smaller group work as well as in a main class dynamic. Spaces will be limited to the first 30 individuals and will be appropriate to any stage of progression from beginner to advanced. The course will develop the movements from the ground up and will address body position/posture, range of motion and effective movement patterns. This event will serve not only as a way for us to enhance the skills and knowledge base of our athletes but will also allow us to further enhance the coaching skills of our staff and will hopefully form the basis of a new route of progression for new entrants to CrossFit Glasgow's main membership. The event will cover 2x 3 hour periods from 14.00 to 17.00 on Saturday and Sunday of this week. That's six hours of dedicated coaching time in a fun and informative big group setting. The two day event will cost only £10 a head and we will provide snacks and some drinks at the end of each day.
