Our players have recently been feeling the benefits from local gym CrossFit 17, in an effort to further enhance their strength and conditioning, the club can reveal.
CrossFit 17 is Mansfieldâs largest strength and conditioning gym and welcomes people from all walks of life. Their equipment helps aid functional movements that mimic the way we would move in everyday activities without using restrictive machines found in modern gyms.
Stags' boss Adam Murray says that taking part in CrossFit will help his side with the physical demands of their Sky Bet League Two season.Â
"We started using CrossFit in pre-season; itâs an excellent local facility that has provided the football club, and especially our fitness department, with a great arena and facility to carry out specific strength and conditioning work on our squad which is continuously helping with our fitness regime and rehabilitation.Â
"It is only two minutes from the ground so is very efficient for us and the guys at the gym have made us feel very welcome and itâll play a big part in our season." Â
Any person of any ability can take part in CrossFit, as they scale the workouts to suit people of all ages and abilities; they say the biggest step is walking through the doors!
Julia Crone, part of the team at CrossFit 17 said: âThe classes are community-based, everybody knows each otherâs names and thereâs a real camaraderie amongst the people taking part in the activities.
Â
âThe sessions are always varied and our aim is to get people fit for life; we want to be able to go running with our children when weâre fifty.â Â
They are open from 6am-8.30pm and there are a range of membership packages currently available at CrossFit 17, with prices starting from as little as ÂŁ2.50 per session.
Each class is 60 minutes long and includes a dynamic warm up, skills/strength practice, WOD (Workout of the Day) and cool down and stretching.
CrossFit builds good muscular endurance and all-round fitness â your body is prepared for pretty much any athletic situation after just a few months of CrossFit 17 training.
For people who have never tried CrossFit before, taster sessions are available on specified days each week at a cost of ÂŁ5 per session. If you want to book onto one of CrossFit17âs taster sessions please contact Craig on 078544 36121 or Julia on 075452 59454.
