But wait …there’s more!

Nutrition is a key element to optimal health and performance. To inspire your taste buds our resident Nutritionist Sara will also have a selection of yummy Primal and Paleo food for participants to enjoy after the WOD. And if that wasn’t enough we will also have some simple and great tasting recipes to take away.

Spaces are limited to 20 people per testing day – Register ASAP!

Each testing day costs $20 and includes admission to the event, entry into the ‘Best effort’ prize, Primal brunch and free yummy recipes.

“CrossFit Christchurch is a fantastic place to become a better athlete no matter what your ability or fitness goals. The workouts are demanding and will certainly put body and mind to the test, but Peter and Chris ensure that no matter how hard you push, pull, burn and hurt through the day’s workout, you will truly have some fun.

As a kayaker paddling some of New Zealand’s hardest rivers, I must be in top physical and mental form. There is no training regimen that I have found that compares to CrossFit to prepare me for hucking off big waterfalls and staying focused during kilometer after kilometer of seething whitewater.

The CrossFit Christchurch community is a great place that includes people of all backgrounds and skill levels all coming together to truly become better people. After training with Chris and Peter for a while, I am more flexible, stronger, faster and truly in the best shape I have ever been in. CrossFit Christchurch is not just a gym, but a place to grow as an individual, find your weaknesses and truly become better at life.”

I kid you not… Earthquakes.. again!

Here’s what the front of the building looks like…

Today was sad. The building will be condemned. So all the gear had to come out.

Big thank you to Todd, Pat, Chris, Brian, Anna C, John P and Chris’s friend (sorry can’t remember your name, sorry!) for the help this afternoon :-)

A sad day for Christchurch… and a sad day for CrossFit Christchurch.

WE WILL BE BACK – STRONGER THAN BEFORE!

STAY TUNED FOR ‘THE’ COME BACK!
