Team ECF Newsletter - July 2023
Member of the Month: Gary Walsh
Since first meeting Gary in January 2023, we knew he would achieve his goals because of his charisma and can-do attitude! He understands that patience would overcome speed in the long term. Fast forward 6 months and we’re excited to award him July’s Member of the Month!
His attitude towards training has been excellent, embraces the workouts, and works tirelessly to beat himself in each session. Gary has gone from a difficult 70kg front squat to a solid 105kg front squat in less than 10 months!
We’ve not only seen physical, but psychological improvements too - during classes we can see Gary appreciating that winning comes with time and that not every day is full of PBs. Gary is committed to his training and since our arrival in January he is one of the most consistent members of ECF!
Be sure to congratulate Gary if you see him in the Box 💪

Special Classes
Hero WODs
At CrossFit, we host a free ‘Hero WOD’ on the last Friday of every month.
These workouts are meant to be a physical and mental challenge, that are an ‘opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices of the fallen – to speak their names and honor their memories’.
All Hero WODs are free and can be booked through BoxMate or TeamUp.
ECF/CSC Community WODs
Our joint Eccleshall CrossFit and Central Staffs CrossFit community sessions are every first Saturday of the month, alternating facilities each month.
These are also free to book on BoxMate or TeamUp!
