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. SFN Expo / Clydebuilt Throwdown: Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th. CFG will be competing for the second year running at the SECC in the largest team event in Scotland, come along and show your support for all the teams competing. CrossFit Kids Trainer Course: Saturday 5th + Sunday 6th September. This is [...]
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Another successful year at CFG has passed and we would like to thank all of our coaches for their countless hours of hard work and continuing desire to develop and learn. We'd also like to thank Craig Lowe for his unending willingness to help and assist no matter the job; coach, rig builder, spark, janny, judge, technical assistant and friend. Thank you Craig. We have come a long way since opening and to highlight just how far we’ve come and how much Gavin and I have aged here’s a quick recap of the last 12 months. 4 years ago and looking 10 years younger January A quiet start to the year but saw 45 new members experience CrossFit Glasgow from 2 Fundamentals weekends in the one month. Laura organised a Quiz night at the end of the month testing your knowledge of who’s who in the CrossFit World and to show off Gavin’s extensive knowledge of nature and dinosaurs. The quiet before the storm. February Ground Up – movement seminar with the one and only I Am Scott Houston. We hope to follow up with more classes in parkour and hand balancing in 2015. Benni Magnusson Deadlift Seminar – we played host to both Benni and his wife Gemma for half a day as they spoke about programming and strength improvements for one of the big lifts. Later that year Benni went on to break the World Record raw deadlift at the European’s [...]

Week Ahead
A lot is happening this week. Friday night: 18.30 - A strongman challenge / social night. This event will be hosted at CFG and will be ran by Rob Orlando, 2x CF Games competitor with a 15th finish in 2010, there will be food and drink available as well as a series of workouts and a chance to buy some of Rob's Hybrid Apparel. Cost just £20 to attend, just rock up on the night. Cash only. Saturday: The gym is closed all day. We will be hosting the CrossFit Strongman Seminar. This will run from 9-4 and teaches all the basics of strongman lifting. You will learn and lift heavier than you ever thought possible, don't worry if you don't consider yourself 'strong' as CFG has kit that can be scaled down to the very lightest. This is one of the best seminars I have ever attended. Rob's approach is laid back, logical and informative, the class has lots of breaks to lift and isn't spent entirely at the whiteboard and is also one of the most affordable seminars. It teaches lifts that you typically would not experience in a CrossFit gym and gives you a taste of what training like a strongman is all about. CFG will also sell you strongman kit if you need any to begin your training ASAP. Tuesday 19.15 there is no WOD. Olympic lifting will take place with Louise Mather. £3 per person for this class. Friday: there will be no classes after [...]

Come meet this guy on Friday 29th (a week tomorrow) at our social event Strongman Challenge from 18.30 for just £20. Food and beverages included, some prepared to workout!
