WoD - Friday 4th February, 2022

Get your A game on the go for our birthday tomorrow! 11 years since I was attempting to assemble two krypton factor GHDs at 3am ready for a 9am opening. I wonder if the “spare” bolts are still in the bushes where I put them for safe keeping?! 😉

Lots has changed in 11 years, bonkers to think that we have been open and operating that long, despite all the bullshit we’ve dealt with along the way.
We shall celebrate in style hey!

9 Year Throwdown

9 Year Throwdown

Okay okay, some info for you lovelies. Well done, you have managed to survive the communication black out with only texting/emailing/DMing/carrier pigeoning me into an oblivion for the past few days!

All is to be revealed

The Intention
We are going to have a seriously FUN and very CHILLED out day of team fitness. Teams will be decided by us, at random and allocated at the briefing tomorrow (timings below). The events will run one after the other, with a “scoreboard” placed on the whiteboard and loosely updated as the day goes on.
There will be no prizes, presentations or podiums because…we do not give a f**k…it’s a FUN and very CHILLED day of fitness.

The adult exercise will be followed by drunkenness. In various forms and loosely coordinated by our two, newly appointed Social Hand grenades. Kirsty “I will drink until my trousers fall off” Lightowler and Cath “I get Splott drunk” Knapton. Please look to them for any after circular activities.

The Timings
ARRIVE FROM: 09:45
BREIFING STARTS: 10:00
FITNESS FUN BEGINS: 10:30

WoD - Thursday 24th January, 2019

The week is nearly amongst us, but so is the month. Meaning two things…

  1. Your arses are nearly mine!

  2. The Box birthday party is soon upon us. Be sure to get over to the Facebook members page to check out the details. If you are too cool for Facebook, then…just make sure you are available from 12:00 - 23:59 (ish) on Saturday, February the 9th. We have a MAAAHUSIVE team Throwdown planned, along with after hours actives. Bring a dish of choice (all Vegan options will be frowned upon), and if you don’t like BrewDog, a bottle.

Now then. The last but one addition of Ashwell’s onslaught, maybe he is attempting a cull, you can beat the Ginger Ninja though, I know you can!

CrossFit Cardiff WoD

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible, within 20 minutes of:
Run 200m
5-10-15-20-25 etc ...
Shoulder to overhead (60/40kg)
1 Rope Climb

Shake out the old forearms and get your rounds up on the whiteboard…

WoD - Thursday 9h August, 2018

How are the famous Monkey Butts? A bet there have been a few tears in the showers since yesterday! 

Anyway...here is some information about next week. Things are pretty simple and so I am going to do it in bullet (easy to follow) fashion. 

  • Get a buddy volunteer buddy, maybe more than one. If none volunteer then voluntell!!
  • Email Davs at dafydd@crossfitcardiff.com to let him know who they are and he will get in touch.
  • Bring them along to any class, between the dates of August 13th - August 17th.
  • Get them excited about Friday the 17th, as we have a mini team throwdown to complete the fun.
  • Relish in the fact that you have given your newly made best friend a seriously cool new hobby. 

    An event has been painstakingly created by Conner's the Facebook ninja on the members group. Get yourself onto it for more info: click right here

Timings for said Friday, should you be as technophobic as I:
Open gym: 15:00 - 18:00 (NO 17:00 CLASS)
Super fun, team throwdown: 18:00 - FINISH@ BEER O'CLOCK


Anyway, back to it...
