Short on Time?

In Glasgow, work calls, family commitments and changeable weather often push workouts to the bottom of your list. CrossFit Glasgow Time-Saver Workouts help you plan short sessions, stay consistent and focus on movements that drive results.

Plan Your Week in Glasgow

A simple weekly plan turns busy diaries into achievable sessions. Each Sunday:

• Check your calendar for 20–30 minute slots before work, at lunch or after hours.

• Commit to those times and tell a friend or training partner.

• Choose local spots such as Kelvingrove Park bandstand for some sessions outdoors.

Open Gym and Personal Training Options

Open Gym access lets you train when it suits you. You can:

• Follow your own routine with barbells, kettlebells and rowers laid out and ready.

• Fit in quick mobility drills or strength circuits without waiting for equipment.

Personal Training offers expert guidance tailored to your week:

• Your coach builds a plan around your schedule and goals.

• You receive technique checks and video feedback.

• Emma, a mum of two, improved her 500 m row time by 20 seconds in four weeks.

Circuit Workouts for Efficiency

Circuit formats pack work into every minute. Two examples work well under time pressure.

EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute)
Set a 20 or 30 minute timer. Start each movement at the top of the minute:

1. Minute 1: 10 barbell deadlifts

2. Minute 2: 10 push-ups

3. Minute 3: 15 calories on the rowing machine

4. Minute 4: 10 goblet squats with a 16 kg kettlebell

5. Minute 5: 8 burpees

Complete as many rounds as you can. The faster you finish each set, the more rest you have.

Tabata Finisher
After your circuit, choose a cardio machine:

• Perform 20 seconds of hard effort, then 10 seconds rest, for 8 rounds.

• Use the bike, treadmill or rower.

• This final push raises your heart rate and rounds off the session.

Recovery and Tracking

Your body adapts during rest. For every two intense days, plan an active recovery session:

• A brisk walk along the Clyde or a light swim at Bellahouston Leisure Centre.

• Foam rolling or a warm Epsom salt bath.

• A balanced meal and two litres of water a day.

• Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep.

Record each workout in Wodify or in a notebook. Note the weights, reps and how you felt. On Sunday, review last week and adjust your plan for the coming week.
