parks, garages, unused warehouses, gardens,
make or adapt equipment (lots of things can easily be made into a kettlebell, etc)
use bodyweight to start with - especially with beginners
you can base lots of workouts around circuits for groups - get a gymboss or something similar as well that would help with circuits

There are a number of affiliates on here who would be able to give you stacks of top tips on starting out.

If you look at the affiliates' websites you will see a host of different set ups........I know there is one in Scotland who works out in Parks etc.....Andy is at Reading and uses School gyms / halls, and also has gone from using KBs to now having full BB weights sets.... We've worked out in the local park [I'm still having flash backs now!!].

Even when he had the minimum amount of equipment he still comes up with terrifyingly effective workouts [nice workout for you tonight guys....we'll start you off on 150 Jumping Pullups, 100 Pushups, 100 Situps and errrr 100 Squats....GO!!.....Fecker!!!! :D ]

Have a great one

If there's no sweat angel.....do another round!!

I've only been doing crossfit for about 6 months. I bought a 20lb slam ball (can also use it for wall ball), rings, a 1 POOD (16Kg) kettle bell.

Find yourself somewhere to do pullups and you can do most of the WOD's

For all WODS you will need a place to run (track ideal), a rower, and access to an olympic weight set.

To b e honest you can getaway with only bodyweight exercises that involve no equipment. (burpees, sit ups, squats, etc)

For every WOD that gets posted i have a folder to write them in, together with dates and times. I also have a foreruner 101 (for measuring distance runs), chalk, wrist straps and a

homemade white board (fabloned A4 sheet with clipboard and non perm pen ) for writing WOD's on and obviously a stopwatch.

Best thing is to keep it simple and focus on the routines.

all the best
