No Classes Friday/Saturday

We are at the UK Strength and Power Series Northern regional qualifier at CrossFit 3D.

The UK Strength and Power Series is a strong man (or woman) event designed for the rest of us. You don't need to be Mark Felix (or Geoff Capes for those old enough to remember him) to enter; it's a fun filled day with lots to do for the whole family.

Well done Samantha!

Samantha Briggs of CrossFit Central Manchester came fourth in the 2011 CrossFit Games held in California this past weekend. She demonstrated an exceptional level of fitness coupled with a high degree of skills performance.

CrossFit Works

Need proof CrossFit works?

Last night we had a benchmark strength session to see how the guys were doing.

Chris got a personal best on Squat, Press and Deadlift. All this while losing 10 kilos of extra weight around his body.

Jonathan likewise hit personal bests on the three lifts, smashing his previous Deadlift personal best by 30 kilos!

Lea is now deadlifting over 150 Kilograms for sets of three. When he came to us at the start of the year he was dealing with a debilitating hip injury that meant he could barely lift the bar without pain. After some rehab work at GU1 he is now performing at close to 100% and rarely has any pain.

CrossFit works. It has worked for these guys and it will work for you. No matter your goals - strength, body composition, rehabilitation or sporting performance - we can get you to where you want to be.
