CrossFit Ireland Fitness Invitational 2009

You, your friends and anyone you would like to bring along are cordially invited to the CrossFit Ireland Fitness Invitational on May 9th, in aid of Temple Street Children’s Hospital. We would love you to pop down and have a go, and see what this is all about. We have a fun, friendly and welcoming approach to fitness and believe there is nobody out there that wouldn’t benefit from being in just a little better shape.

Whether you are a weekend warrior, a seasoned gym buddy, footballer, rugby player, martial artists, bike racer or powerlifter we would love to have you down.

The day will run as follows:

9.00am: Registration of Athletes (anyone who shows up is called an Athlete in our eyes)
9.30am: Welcoming Talk – explanation of format and movement standards
10.00am: First Workout (approx 10 minutes)
11.00am: Second Workout (approx 10 minutes)
12:00: Lunch
1:00pm: Third Workout (approx 10 minutes)
2:00pm: Medal Ceremony
9:00pm: Dinner and Cocktails in Captain Americas

We have some intra club competitions and rivalry but that’s all part of the fun. As a incentive we are committing to putting €250 of our own money into the kitty for Temple Street if anybody can beat the coaches in the total events. We secretly hope someone does as we know there are a lot of people working out using CrossFit or a mix of it at home.
