CSC and REFITNESS
We are always looking at ways to bring new and exciting opportunities to our members, with your health and well-being being our focus. With that in mind, we are excited to announce a collaboation with nutritionist Rich at REFITNESS. Rich is going to be working alongside members on a 12-week programme offering nutrition support which will be informed by resting metabolic rate testing (RMR). To find out more about RMR, follow this link.
So that you can meet Rich and know more about his collaboration with CSC members, he will be hosting a nutrition seminar at the box on Saturday 14th September. This is completely free to attend and he will be discussing the following:
Myth Busting
Breakdown of Macronutrients
Cover aspect of fat loss and muscle gain
Importance of correctly fuelling the body for training
Evidence Based Supplements for health and training
How to plan your nutrition and structure it to meet your needs
We are really confident that Rich’s expertise will be of huge benefit to you and a real asset to our offering at CSC, so please come and join us on the 14th to meet him if you can!
CrossFit Kids Summer Camp!
Looking fot something to keep your #CrossFitKids busy over summer? We are hosting a summer camp on the 28th August which members and newbies are welcome to attend. There will be lots of fun activities throughout the day and attendees will get a first look at our brand new CrossFit Kids merch!
We are excited to present Staffs Olympics in partnership with SC&D!
Unfortunately we did not have enough uptake to run our summer comp this year, so as an alternative event, we have partnered with CSC member Ben Hillyard who runs Staffs Coaching and Development (SC&D). The event will be held at Yarlet School which has a range of facilities. These include an Astro pitch, two football pitches, cricket nets, four tennis courts, and an indoor sports hall. Our day will include rounders, a chipper style WOD, volleyball and a relay WOD, all ran in 4 teams with a Coach Captain! We will run mini games alongside these too to utilise the amazing facilities at Yarlet and keep everyone on their toes! To round off the day, we will be serving you delicious food from Woodsmoke BBQ (these will fully cater to all dietary requirements so please drop us a message if you'd like a vegetarian/vegan option or are gluten free) you can inform Woodsmoke of any allergies on the day. You are also more than welcome to bring friends and family along, just let us know who you're bringing and they can pay via card on the day.
We really hope that you can join us!
Upcoming Foundations Course
We are excited to be hosting our next foundations course on the 10th, 12th, 17th and 19th September. There’s still plenty of time for newcomers to try us with three free tasters before they commit so please help us to spread the word!
