CrossFit Carlisle Is Currently Closed

Due to ever increasing overheads and lack of public awareness in the local area, CrossFit Carlisle has had to close it’s doors. Hopefully this will only be a temporary measure and we are currently looking for a cheap industrial unit to rent around 1500 sq ft. I am currently trying to work to save money to re-open once I have money for equipment etc and have my house up for sale with a view to investing the money into a much better facility which will be open all day, every day.

Thankyou to all the previous members who gave their support when we were open, hope to see many of you back in the future when we re-open.

Monday 28th November 2011

To clear up a few things as many of you are wondering what’s going on and the rumour mill is rife, I will clear a few things up. As of immediate effect there will be no open gym session from 5-6pm but the group CrossFit classes will stay. From immediate effect there will be a 6-7pm group coached CrossFit session Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday where there will be a group warm up, skill and or strength coaching, a group workout and then some cool down and stretching time. In addition on a Monday and Wednesday there will be an additional group CrossFit Class from 7-8pm. On a Friday there will be a variety of open gym, team games, outdoor/urban wood’s and more which will all depend on numbers, weather and demand. On a weekend, for the time being we will be closed. Circuits will continue Tuesday night 7:15-8:15pm right through December.

We have given notice to the landlord of our current box and are now looking for a smaller; or more to the point cheaper box so as to keep the overheads down to a more manageable level.

On a polite note, all membership money must be paid in advance of any training and if you turn up for a session without having paid prior you will not be able to train.

There are a limited new batch of t shirts available and a few hoodies which are available now at £35 for hoodies and £15 for T Shirts, great xmas presents for yourself or a friend. 1st come, 1st served.

Any questions not answered, please don’t hesitate to ask.
