13 Dec Crew personalities!
Who would want to work out at 6am?! Are they crazy?!
Here at CrossFit Solent we pride ourselves on our variety of class times and even more varied clientele. Over the years coaching at Solent, I’ve noticed how different workout opportunities seem to attract different personalities and different vibes…in my experience, here’s how the different classes seem to shape up (obviously no offence intended folks!)…
The morning class
This dedicated bunch drag themselves out of bed before many of us would even contemplate setting an alarm. Morning after morning these guys are here busting a gut, getting stronger, pushing harder. This friendly morning crew are a sociable bunch, warmly welcoming and consoling any other soul who braves the chilly winter mornings to get their workout in before the sun makes an appearance. Go hard or go home is always the name of the game with the morning crew!
The daytime open gymmers
Why spend your daytime off watching Jeremy Kyle when you can work out? What else are you going to do with your day whilst everyone else is stuck behind their desk!? Daytime open gym is a shift worker’s dream. Free reign of the gym, space to work on your rope climbs, kettle bell swings and front squat without tidying away your kit until you’ve finished is where it’s at. These daytime dreamers tend to be such a laid back bunch you’ll often find them horizontal on the gym floor! That’s regardless of whether they’ve actually worked out or not!
5pm WODders
If you’re able to make it out of your 9-5 in time to be at the box without doing punishment burpees, you’re clearly a time efficient soul. Get in, get it done and go! The 5pm WOD class is all about the consistency – consistently getting in your workout whilst maintaining a steady work / life balance.
The 6 and 7 PMers
If you need a gentle reminder that you’re at the box to work out and not to huddle round having a gossip, then the 6 and 7pm classes are for you! There’s no better way to shake off a tough day at work than to work out with your crew. You’ll be too focused on trying not to vom to worry about what’s happened during the day. And if the WOD hasn’t taken your breath away, everyone’s always happy to linger for a natter!
The evening open gymmers
Evening open gym = the melting pot! Got your own goals to focus on? Class times not convenient for you? Or just too slow off the mark to get your place shotgunned at your desired time? Everyone’s welcome at evening open gym! These guys and girls are a little bit of everything and we love it!
And that’s the day in a nutshell folks! Everyday is a different day at CrossFit Solent, and we just love our wholesome community.
