Rowathon 2024

The second edition of the Rowathon at Claymore CrossFit will take place on Saturday the 21st of September in the morning. Just like last year we are rowing 42.195 km for a great cause! This will be an opportunity to get our amazing community together to raise funds for the Stroke association. 

We’ve chosen this specific cause because it’s one that is close to our hearts because Chris sadly lost his father to a stroke. And to honor his passing we’re putting on this event and the fundraising. We would be glad to have you participate but if you’re unable to make it that day you can donate via this link. 

To make it even more fun we’re inviting some of the Perthshire sports clubs to row with us and are thrilled to have them for this occasion. To fuel the Rowathon we ask everyone to please bring something to nibble on afterwards for a Brunch. It can be sweet or salty and don’t forget the protein. Claymore will take care of the drinks. So assemble your team of 5 and sign up on the main board at the box.

Nutrition Challenge at Claymore CrossFit

Nutrition plays a crucial role when practising any sport and especially CrossFit, as it fuels the body for intense workouts, supports recovery, helps lose body fat and build muscle. A balanced diet rich in proteins, timely carbohydrates, and healthy fats provide the energy needed for high-performance training, while vitamins and minerals aid in muscle repair and overall health. Proper nutrition also enhances endurance and reduces the risk of injury, enabling athletes to consistently perform at their best and achieve their fitness goals.

It all seems easy on paper but where do you start? 

Start with our Nutrition Challenge, because it will help you build your own path. We will meet you where you are and work from there. It’s been proven to be impossible to shift one’s habits and create an ideal scenario overnight so we take one step at a time and make it manageable for you. You will be supervised by a qualified Nutrition coach who has a heap of experience and has been helping people improve their quality of life for many years. 

The format of the Nutrition Challenge is interactive as you’ll be working in a small group of 10 people that will help you to stay motivated throughout the 6 weeks and beyond. Each week we will give you a new habit to master, each building on the previous one like building blocks to reach your goal. Each habit will be explained and tailored to your lifestyle for the best outcome. 

The notion of challenge comes from the fact that you will be challenging your current ways and because we throw in a healthy incentive to the winner of the best body composition (most body fat percentage lost). One of our previous editions’ winner of the Nutrition Challenge was Rachael. Her results were just amazing, in 6 weeks she lost a total of 4.4 pounds of which were 3.4 fat mass as well as 5cm around her waist and 3.5cm around her hips. She regained her confidence with new healthy habits and is able to enjoy long distance running with more ease, which is her original passion apart from CrossFit. 

And how do we know that the Nutrition Challenge works? 

Because we’ve got the numbers to prove it thanks to the InBody scanner 270. The InBody is a machine that measures body composition through bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). The BIA method sends a small alternating current through the body that allows for highly accurate measurements of a person’s body fat as well as water, lean mass, overall weight, and more. We use it throughout the 6 weeks, in the beginning, half way and at the end of the challenge.

This is your opportunity to finally get on track with long term healthy habits that will keep serving you for the rest of your life. Follow this link and get signed up for our upcoming edition. We run them quarterly.
