Events - GYMNASIUM

We love an event at Gymnasium! They are a great way to get to know people, have a good laugh, see what you are capable of and, if you are into it, how you stack up against your friends.

We have an event almost every month from team workouts to solo efforts, and welcome everyone from newbies to hardened weekend competitors. Everything can be scales and we generally have two divisions so all members can get involved and everyone is equal, especially at the pub at the end of the day!

We also have social events like regular dog walks, volleyball & an annual pub quiz.

CrossFit Games | February & March

The CrossFit Open is an annual, global competition. Across 3 weekends workouts are released on Thursday night. You complete them in Saturday class and submit your score online. For some The Open is the first stage in qualification for the in-person Crossfit Games. For us, it is about getting together, testing ourselves in a competitive environment and having a great time.

There are 3 divisions, RX, Scaled and Foundations. Everyone at Gymnasium is able to participate in one of the divisions.

TEAM GAMES | Saturday 13 May

The Team Games is a mixed team of 4 event made up of 2 male and 2 female athletes. There are 4 workouts across the day and you will need to work as a team, communicate and understand each others strengths and weaknesses. There is only 1 division and the workouts are accessible to all levels of athlete, so if you train at Gymnasium, you will be good to go.

This is a great opportunity for you to team up with people who you regularly train or compete with in classes and see how you stack up against the rest of the community.

Workout on Clapham Common

Gymnathlon | Saturday 17 June

The Gymnathlon is an individual race that involves multiple workouts between short cardio stations. (It’s like an assault course where you run between obstacles, but the obstacles have been replaced with short spicy workouts, and some of the running replaced with a C2, a rower, ski and assault bike.)

Participants start in waves and there are both Everyday Athlete and RX variations. The whole workout lasts around 60 minutes. Whilst it is competitive with winners in multiple categories, think of it more like a Charity 10k, Hyrox or a Tough Mudder; in that the taking part, the finishing and the after party is the reward.
