Fun Workouts in Shrewsbury
Every year, the CrossFit Shropshire Intramural Open brings our community together for some friendly competition, big lifts, and even bigger laughs. And this year, we have two incredible team captains leading the charge! But before we introduce them, let’s take a moment to appreciate one of our gym’s most accidental traditions…
The Legendary “Captian” Story 🤦♂️
A few years ago, when Graham first wrote the ‘captains’ names on the wall, he (being dyslexic) proudly wrote “Captian” instead of “Captain.” No one noticed. Not for a week. Not for a month. Not for THREE YEARS! It became a permanent fixture, and when we added new team captains the following year, we figured… why stop now? So, Team Captians they remain!
Now, let’s meet your fearless leaders for 2025!
🚒 Meet Laura – Captain of H’s Team! 💪
Laura is not just a fit mum—she’s also a firefighter!🔥 Between balancing family life, fighting fires, and throwing down in workouts, Laura knows a thing or two about staying cool under pressure. She brings fun, fierce energy to every class and will be the loudest voice cheering you on during the Open.

💥 Why You Want Laura as Your Captian:
✅ Always brings the hype and makes workouts fun!
✅ Leads by example, showing up and giving 100% every time
✅ Firefighter-level grit—she doesn’t quit, and neither will you!
If you’re on H’s Team, get ready! Laura will have you pushing harder, lifting heavier, and having an absolute blast along the way.
🏋️♀️ Meet Danni – Captain of Gray’s Team! 🔥
Danni is nothing short of a total inspiration. A full-time working mum, the head of a big, beautiful family of girls, and someone who trains five days a week no matter what life throws at her. She’s proof that consistency and determination win every time!

💥 Why You Want Danni as Your Captian:
✅ The definition of commitment—she shows up and puts in the work
✅ Juggles work, family, and training like a pro
✅ Supports and pushes everyone to be their best
If you’re on Team G, you’re in the best hands. Danni will keep you focused, fired up, and ready to take on every challenge.
