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.

We’re starting 2024 strong with a new and precise tool, our InBody 270. Because when it comes to health, your body weight doesn’t tell you the whole story. Your body is made up of muscle, fat, bone and water. Losing weight is not the same as losing fat and gaining weight may not be the same as getting fatter. Our new InBody 270 Body Composition Report provides extensive data relevant to body composition that can be used to select targeted strategies to efficiently lose fat, dial in your nutrition, identify muscle deficiencies and more.
Claymore CrossFit members now have access to this amazing machine that allows for accurate and non-invasive body composition testing in less than 30 seconds. This quick, easy and precise analysis will provide an objective starting point to track your progress as you start, or continue, on your quest to better health and fitness.
Included in the scan is a 15 minute explanation of your results. There is a lot of information included on the results sheets and understanding these is critical to truly assessing your progress, plateaus or sticking points. Is what you’re doing working for you? Is your training program fixing your imbalances? Is your visceral fat high and symptomatic of deeper health problems? How many calories per day should you be eating? All these questions and more can be answered by getting a scan.
Our members will get a biannual scan that will ensure that they’re on track with their goals. Here’s the link to book your consultation in the Member Check in calendar. The value of this consultation is £20 and Claymore members get it for free.
You’re not a member? Not a problem, we’ll be glad to get you in for a 20 min consultation. Purchase your slot here for a £30 fee and get a full explanation of the results with our expert coach.
