« 5ème drop-in en 3 mois.
J'ai un niveau avancé et je suis venu à chaque fois avec des amis débutants.
La programmation a été pertinente pour tout le monde et les conseils des coachs adaptés à chaque niveau.
Très bien équipée et suffisamment spacieuse pour concilier un espace wod et un espace free suffisant.
Bravo ! »

you push the door.
What a box is, getting started, hours, access.If your question isn't here, we're at 07 67 47 20 24.
What is a CrossFit box?
A box is a gym entirely dedicated to CrossFit: a big open space with rigs, barbells, rings, ergs and a functional area, without the guided machines of a regular gym. Ours is 400 m² right in the heart of Villeurbanne.
Is CrossFit Gratte-Ciel a real affiliate box?
Yes. CFGC is an affiliated CrossFit box, not a fitness gym with an optional cross-training class. Our coaches are CrossFit certified (CF-L1) and the programming follows the CrossFit methodology.
What's the difference between CrossFit and cross-training?
CrossFit is a registered trademark, with its own methodology and affiliate boxes run by certified coaches. Cross-training refers to generic mixed training, often offered in regular gyms. At Gratte-Ciel, you do real CrossFit, coached.
I'm a complete beginner, can I come?
Yes, it's actually the right time. Every movement is scaled to your level by the coach, beginner or seasoned. Your first class is free: you come, you try, we walk you through everything.
What are the box's opening hours?
Coached classes from 7am to 9pm Monday to Friday, 9am to 12pm on Saturday. Free access (open gym) from 7am to 12:30pm and 1:30pm to 5:30pm on weekdays, 9am to 12pm on Saturday. Closed on Sunday.
Where exactly is the box?
22 cours de la République, 69100 Villeurbanne, right at the exit of the République metro stop (ligne A), in the Gratte-Ciel district.
Are there showers and changing rooms?
Yes: showers, separate changing rooms, lockers (padlock not provided) and water on site. Drop your stuff and train.
