Bristol Running Club

About CRC

 

Clifton Running Club has been running (pun intended) since 2012. The CRC community is built on a passion for sociable and enjoyable fitness for all levels, from beginner to advanced. We are more than just a running club too. CRC is a part of the 'Social Fitness Bristol' family, with sister clubs Clifton Yoga Club, Clifton Cycling Club, Clifton Swimming Club, Bristol HIIT Fitness & Social Heroes Adventure Club.

 

We believe fitness should start with FUN. We offer constantly varied run fitness training alongside full body HIIT Fitness Classes, Yoga, Cycling and more with our sister clubs. We also have an incredible and busy social calendar each month, including organised trips, events and nights out. All of this is via our sister club, Social Heroes Adventure Club, Bristol's social adventure community full of excellent, friendly & brilliant people. From Nurses, Doctors & Teachers to Engineers, Management Accountants & Civil Servants, community members are in touch every day organising even more together too, from cinema visits, live gigs or a few drinks together, through to weekend activities, climbing sessions, meals out, surfing or a simple run on those free days. If you're looking to up your activity levels, meet new people & live a more active, outdoors & social lifestyle , like so many of our members were, you'll find it all here waiting for you at Social Fitness Bristol.

Yoga

​

Yoga is available to all CRC members via Clifton Yoga Club, a fun, community centred Yoga club that focuses on inclusivity & social engagement. CYC uses an inclusive, all-abilities style of Vinyasa yoga to help individuals regain the flexibility, mobility, strength & balance that we were born with. CYC offers a platform to meet new people, make friends, have fun & enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle. They have put social togetherness & individual development at the heart of our club... plus so much more!

 

​

Nutrition

 

The above training methods also happen to be some of the very best ways to loose body fat, which leads us to another important part of the CRC community....nutrition. At CRC you'll have a coach at your disposal every single session who is always available to answer any questions with professional and useful nutritional advice. Having said this, we are all cake, takeaway and beer/wine lovers too, a bit of what you love keeps the soul smiling we say. So there are plenty of our favourite guilty pleasures to share too!

​

Personal Training, Nutrition & Massage Therapy

 

CRC has both a network of talented Personal Trainers and an in-house Massage Therapist that are professional, knowledgeable, committed and focused on helping individuals to achieve their aims and goals. Should you require any home based, studio based or outdoor based personal training, relaxation/sports massage therapy or 1 to 1 nutritional consultations, we're here to help. Simply contact us and we'll arrange your first session to fit around your schedule. Good news too, CRC members receive discounts on Personal Training, Massage Therapy & Nutritional Consultations.

 

​

Events

 

Some people join CRC for general fitness, social connection, running improvements and/or weight loss. Others like to run at local events and try to improve upon Personal Best times. Members of CRC often enter 5K/10K/Half Marathon/Marathon events and are always welcoming others to join them on these adventures. We also have a number of selected CRC team events throughout each year that we'll enter en mass, together, as a team. #WinningTogether
