Manchester Trip

Manchester Certification September 2008
Neil, Ron & Stevie are just back form CrossFit Manchester were they attended Level 1 & 2 CrossFit Cetifications. Great journey down and back and they lived it up in the abject luxury of a Travelodge. A fascinating weekend was had with a great insight into the history and future of CrossFit. They enjoyed three long sessions of Greg Glassman, the founder of CrossFit explaining its growth from conception through to present day along with his personal views on CrossFit.
"Coach's" passion really has to be seen and heard to be believed. He is very much a man motivated by his belief in his style of training and the benefits it can bring. For those new to CrossFit visit the CrossFit website and search out videos of Greg Glassman - it will help your understanding of what we are doing at BasixGym.

Whilst away Steph Campbell and Barry Ross loked after the gym. A big thank you from both of us for this assistance. Great to see the troops rallying round to give the rest of our members a work out.

Weekend Off

A big up to Neil who is having some R&R this weekend playing in a Golf Tourament at North Gailes. Niel has worked everyday since we got the keys on January 8th this year. I personally appreciate all the effort he puts in and the level of commitment he demonstrates to CrossFit principles, BasixGym and especially our members. Here is hoping the weather is kind and flight of the ball kinder, have a good weekend bud and enjoy it.

Why choose BasixGym?

Having now been open for over six months and crossed the magic hurdle of the first one hundred members, it seemed as good a time as any to stop and reflect why customers choose CrossFit Scotland @ BasixGym and more importantly, why they stayed with us. After all they are not tied into a contract like every other gym/health club and also the workouts could be described as more intense than in other facilities.

The best way I can find to describe why BasixGym works is to compare it to Google. Yes, I know a search engine is not a gym, but wait and I will explain. Nearly everyone that is connected to the web tends to use Google. The percentages are so high that you have to question why other search engines exist. The first impression of Google is their simply interface. The initial screen is uncluttered and none of your time is taken uop by fancy graphics and complex displays. It is very simple. A CrossFit workout is very similar. In fact, some of the best workouts are those that are the simplest. A CrossFit gym is not cluttered with fancy electronic equipment and television screens. BasixGym, as the name suggests, is a basic facility. Like Google though, it does what you ask of it.

Okay, so we all appreciated the simpleness of the Google interface, but what is more important than that is that when we search for what we are looking for, Google provides results. If it didn't, you would not use it again. It may be one thing to present an easy to use interface but if when you search for what your looking for, you do not find it, you would not return. Any Gym is like that. Fail to provide what the member is looking for and they won't come back. At Basix, and bearing in mind there is no contract, our members keep coming back. We work them hard and through positive encouragement help them to achieve to a level that most did not think possible. In other words, we provide results - just like Google.
So, six months done the line from opening, I am pleased to announce that our members are finding what they are looking for and more. Google works and CrossFit works.
I like to think that CrossFit is to fitness what Google is to search engines!

When Partner B finishes the lunges, that athlete proceeds immediately
to 18 Box jumps and becomes Partner A.
The new Partner B then does 18 jumping pull ups...
