✨New Coach Annoucement!✨
We are all familiar with our in house photographer and videographer, Sam, and we are excited to annouce that his work within the gym now extends to coach, too! Sam is a great asset to us at CSC and we are excited to welcome him into the coaching team.
For those who may not yet know Sam, please take a read of his bio:
Like many, I found CrossFit after spending a couple of years training out of commercial gyms - Typically hitting a push/pull/legs split, headphones on, and tunnel-visioned with my sets.
After reading up on sports science by the likes of Ross Edgley, and later watching footage of the CrossFit Games, I got hooked on the idea of training for performance across multiple disciplines - introducing gymnastics and Olympic weightlifting to my wheelhouse.
Eventually joining a CrossFit box, I began to understand the profound benefit that group training and community had on my performance, as well as my general well-being.
I discovered that the CrossFit box is an environment where people of all different abilities and all walks of life share a common passion: To opt in to challenge themselves... for their families, for their jobs, and to enhance their lives inside and outside of the gym.
It was this personal experience that motivated me to become a coach and to do my part in facilitating an environment and serving a culture that embodies support, celebration, and development.
❄️ Winter Throwdown! ❄️
Our next in house competition is just around the corner (20th January) and we can’t wait to get it underway! Please invite friends and family to come and spectate on the day, the more cheerleaders the better! As always we will welcome DJ Lee Cotter to keep us motivated and food vendors Track and Taste will be on hand with those vital calories!!
As always, we are super grateful to receive support from volunteers, we just couldn’t run these events with out them! If you’re able to support for some or all of the day, please speak to a coach on your next class.
