CrossFit is a training methodology suitable for any level of fitness and any age that offers functional fitness at a high intensity level.

Classes are broken down into three elements and an hour long. We run the same class each
day throughout the day.
1. A skill focus – be that strength or gymnastics.

3. Mobility/cool down
The workouts are scaled to your level and ability, we meet you where you are at.

No.
Let us explain, our fitness style is constantly varied, one class doesn’t give you a true representation of CrossFit; you need to sample a range.

Me and husband joined CFR earlier this year and we absolutely love it. The variety within each class, the mixed ability I really love as it means it’s there’s always an option for each move no matter what your fitness but also, the social aspect.The coaches are fantastic and everyone within the classes are friendly, helpful and encouraging.I’d never go back to a ‘gym’ now after doing CrossFit and having this type of atmosphere.Thanks to everyone that’s made us feel so welcome

I’ve just started my second week at CFR and what a welcome it has been. I had reservations as a very overweight person around the exercises and difficulty.
What I found was that the coaches are supportive with swapping out stuff you can’t do for a different exercise.
What I have loved more is the community feel. During every workout I have been supported but others and it is full of positive vibes.
If you are unsure… join

Brilliant gym with a brilliant community. All abilities are catered for and the support from the coaches is second to none.
Vicci Lomax
Such a supportive gym and community.
I started at CFR 2 years ago after leaving another CrossFit gym and it has been the best decision I have made. The coaching is excellent, the programming is quality, and the laughs are the cherry on top!

I’ve joined 3 years ago – this was the best decision ever. 😊 I was afraid to join because English isn’t my first language but everybody made me feel welcome and ware very helpful.
Over the last three years I’ve made new friends, we laugh a lot, support each other and done few crazy challenges 😉 Once you try, you will never want to be anywhere else! ❤️

To say I’m not confident in a gym is an understatement… however when I joined cross fit I found a place I loved. I’m still not the most confident but everyone is willing to help and the coach’s are fantastic at helping you! There is never a limit to what you can do and everything is adaptable to all levels! I often look around and think ‘wow’ at all the inspirational people surrounding you in workouts, motivating you and cheering you on. I’ve found a gym I love, workouts that make a difference and most of all mental well being… which is what I’ve realised I need the gym for the most, getting me through some difficult times. Highly recommend! Don’t hesitate… give it a go, if I can anyone can!
