Having returned from Africa I went back to my old gym finding it just didn't challenge me the same. My friends had mentioned CrossFit and I decided to try it as I love a challenge. I loved it straight away. I love the variation from Olympic weightlifting to gymnastics and the constant challenge and learning keeps me motivated.I'm also a marathon runner and I've improved on my minute mile, and feel much stronger! I've also lost 10 lbs in weight and love the shape my body has become! I've even started to get abs!!!

I am 68 years young. At first I was concerned my age and some mobility problems would limit my ability to take part but CrossFit is easily scaleable and I have been able to build my strength and confidence to improve and get better.

This is the best I have felt for years and I have been overwhelmed by the welcome Andy and the members have given me.

Before CrossFit I was heavily into circuit training and I have always been active and a member of a gym but I got to the point where I needed a new challenge.

I heard about CrossFit via a friend and thought I’d give it a go and I’ve never been back to circuit training…I found my thing!

CrossFit has completely changed my body shape, I look and feel more athletic and I'm a lot fitter. I enjoy working out in a group and the giggles with new friends.

Crossfit has changed my life massively. Not only the obvious progression of being fitter and stronger.

Being around such positive people and achieving even the smallest of goals with every session makes me feel proud of the progress that I have made.

When I first heard about CrossFit I was really intrigued at the reviews from friends. My initial reaction was that “I can hold my own in the gym”, but how wrong was I! I finished last on every Workout and ached for days. Coach Andy was incredibly supportive and patient, coaching me through the movements and stripping back the technique to improve my skills and strength.

Within 6 months I had given up all other sports, including my beloved football. I’ve met a network of new friendsand I can’t thank or praise Andy enough for what he has done for me; I am fitter, stronger and I’ve lost 2 stone in weight and feel great.

After years of trying to get fit at a traditional gym I was introduced to CrossFit by a friend where I took part in a couple of free taster sessions and then a Buddy Up competition and I was hooked!

The big difference for me is the variety and intensity of each workout and the motivation I have gained to push myself and find a new level of energy for fitness that I would never have achieved on my own.
