Spartan Race in Shiga on Dec 2, 2023
CrossFit Kyoto will take part in the Spartan Race this year in Shiga at Blumen no Oka on Dec 2 with a fabulous team again! 👍
We're all really excited and are especially looking forward to training for it 'at home' in the box. Read on
'SPARTAN SPECIAL 2023' - Starting on Sat Oct 7 from 12:30 ~14:00 ♪
For the first time CrossFit Kyoto will be holding a series of Spartan Practice Classes for all members and non-members who are interested, even if you're not taking part in the actual race on December 2nd, come try out a completely different class experience and the fun of training unfamiliar moves!
There will be rope climbing, spear throwing, bag carrying, balance beaming, sandbag hoisting and more (see pics/videos below). In a couple of the workshops we'll have an actual SPARTAN WOD!!
Classes will be workshop style and 1 hour long.
They include proper warm-up at the beginning and cool off at the end.
We'll be introducing the techniques and skills you need to climb up a wall, hoist a heavy weight and throw a javelin. "We might even lay hot bodies on the gym floor and have you..." (...WOT?!? says Russell as I am composing the workshop contents)... "have you practice fire walking!!" "HOLD ON!" he says, "We decided against this practice as all of us have had enough heat this summer" 😆
To get you in the mood for some fun, have a look at the report below - it's from the last time a CrossFit Kyoto team took part in a Spartan Race.

Similar to your experience with CrossFit we can scale anything and everybody can take part in the fun 🙂
Climbing "Wall" here by our most senior member (over eighty!) - what an inspiration!
