I have gym guilt. That kind of guilt that pecks away at you (and your wobbly bits) when you haven't…read moreexercised in far too long. That's me, right now. I used to go to the gym, but I was bored. I had a routine, I did it, I came home and was a bit unenthused about the whole thing. A friend suggested I try Crossfit. I really didn't know what I was getting myself into, but when I walked into Crossfit Glasgow, I knew that this would be different. Crossfit is tucked away in one of the arches under the train lines, in Tradeston. Before you become a full member, you need to do a Fundamentals course of 5 classes (£35 for the 5 classes) covering the basic skills you need to be able to do a Crossfit class. These are normally small group classes of about 4-8 people per class and involve the basic skills of weightlifting, squats and a few other crucial movements. Fundamentals are great to get really helpful pointers on your movements and be corrected if you were doing anything wrong, to minimise the chance of injury (and looking like an idiot). Don't be fooled though: these classes end with a killer workout and you will be sweating like a beast once it's over. Once you "graduate" Fundamentals (my words, not theirs!) you will be able to go along to the normal scheduled classes. Essentially what happens is you turn up for a timetabled class, and have an instructor guide you through that day's workout. So no picking and choosing, and no coming up with your own routine. It's called the Workout of the Day (WOD) and can be a real mixed bag of pain and/or torture. There are 8 classes a day spread out from 6.15am to 7.15pm. If you are competent enough, you can work out in the open gym at other times of the day. There is a lot of codewords and exercises you'll never have heard of if you're new to Crossfit. But it's a friendly environment where people will help you out if you ask. The coaches are super supportive and encouraging, and will push you to keep going when you really want to give up. Returning to my original point is that I stopped going to Crossfit because I was poor (it is £30 per month for two visits per week) and also a little bit lazy. If you want somewhere that's going to challenge you and give you an awesome buzz from lifting up heavy things, then Crossfit might be the gym for you.

In a few sessions my discomfort is largely gone and my shoulder feels it's best for years! Already booked my mother in for sessions and would heartily recommend. She knows her stuff.
