Amazing place full of dedicated and friendly coaches , who manage to provide what feels like 1:1 personal, individual coaching in a supportive group environment I’ve always trained since I was in my teens and played rugby to a pretty decent level However after retiring in my mid 20s I felt lost. I went to the gym and did the usual bloke thing of ‘bench press and arms’ for years and years I never reached my full potential . I’d heard of CrossFit since 2013 but always thought it was a bit ‘culty’ and ‘exclusive’ However after I decided to move to Northumberland for family and work reason and discovering that there weren’t many health clubs in the area I toothy I’d give it a try I had a brilliant initial chat with the owner Elaine who was able to alleviate my anxieties and quash my prior held beliefs about CrossFit. She was open and honest about what Gaia can offer and how it would be beneficial to me. Not once did I feel like she wanted to make a sale. She genuinely cared about my fitness journey. She even advised me to start CrossFit in Manchester before I moved up so I could hit the ground running I’ve been a member for nearly two months now and wish i’d have started earlier. The sessions are intense and varied. Not once have we done the same routine. This keeps you engaged, interested and stops complacency. Something I was guilty of when I did my own workouts. I’ve never felt fitter, or more importantly healthier. The groups aren’t too big or small and everyone greets you with a smile. The coaches make sure you feel welcome, comfortable and that you’re ready to smash the session. They’re all a credit to the ‘family’ atmosphere CrossFit Gaia have built The coaches also know how to push everyone to their individual limits without feeling over the top Highly recommend for anyone with any range of fitness who wants to test themselves and improve their health goals More...

I know all of this has probably been said before, but I would just like to re-iterate how amazing the CrossFit Gaia box is & the coaches are absolutely, fantastic, knowledgeable & professional. I started attending the CrossFit sessions almost 4 months ago following 2 months of 1:1 personal coaching from both Elaine & Natalie. Those initial 2 months were gruelling both physically & mentally; Why? well I have Fibromyalgia, an illness that causes severe full body neurological pain & chronic fatigue, amongst many other symptoms. Over the years this has debilitated my mobility, strength as well as my mental wellbeing & I have tried many forms of exercise programmes & none of which have really helped. So, after reading some reviews, I came knocking on the door of CF Gaia in the hope that I could improve all these functions & more. My goal was to be able to put my socks on without lying squirming on the floor & with more conditional training I could compete in my sport & passion, Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) racing & win. Well it’s fair to say that I have won a fair few medals; to name but a few 3rd Veteran overall in the Winter Race Series, 3rd Veteran in the British SUP N1SCO National Championships & 3rd Veteran overall in the GBSUP Distance Races oh & yes I can now put my socks on standing up ha ha! The training both inside & outside of CrossFit has been difficult to maintain and will continue to be so because of Fibromyalgia; I never know from one day to the next how I am going to feel. Sometimes just having the ability to turn up to a class or SUP race training at the end of a tuff working day is a massive achievement some days. But what I have learnt since my time at Gaia is that I can achieve moves & lifts that I never thought possible. I am stronger than I have ever been, I have gained confidence, mobility & stamina, improved my energy levels & mental wellbeing and my future, well it’s hard to say, but I know that sitting in the house alone and miserable is not the answer. Pain is with me regardless of rest so why sit and let life pass by. A positive mental attitude is difficult for most people to maintain but living with chronic pain 24/7 is very very wearing. Huge thanks to the Elaine and her Team along with the guys & girls I train with for their patience & for keeping me going during the WOD’s where I just think I can’t give any more. I can’t imagine life without the Gaia family x I can’t recommend this facility enough. Dream; Believe; Commit; Achieve is our SUP Team moto of which I remind myself of regularly, especially on those down days! So, all I can finish off with is, “If I Can You Can”! Get along and find out for yourselves More...

I'm not an evangelist by nature. You won't see me talking about Crossfit in personal posts. In fact, those guys used to really annoy me cos my experience of many Crossfitters was cult-like, elitist drones.
NOT HERE
This place is just right on so mamy levels.
I played rugby for 20 years. I've run marathons, half-marathons, mud runs.
I've been in and out of the gym for decades chasing a bigger, fuller, leaner physique.
I can move an OK amount of iron
But did I ever really challenge my body (and mind) in the right way? Not until now!
Elaine has established a great community in such a short period. A growing group of people from all backgrounds, all abilities and with varied goals.
Egos are absolutely checked at the door.
Nobody is better or worse than anyone else.
We are all in this for the same reason: to make ourselves better.
I'm not saying all Crossfit boxes are the same, or that Crossfit is the answer for everyone, I just know that this one couldn't be any better for me.

Never done anything like this in my life.. In my opinion although it feels like it in mainly geared towards men, it also is geared towards the people who do not want mirrors and lycra and nonsense. Just strength and real fitness and mobility and comradery. Elaine did the beginners part really well, explaining each part until I understood :) More...

I absolutely love this place! I was a little apprehensive about embarking on "crossfit" thinking it was a world only for the super fit and a certain mind fit, but as soon as I met Elaine and stepped into the box for my first couch-to-crossfit induction, I was hooked.
I love the structure and that we are constantly learning new skills as well as working on mobility. Whatever your level of commitment or fitness level, CrossFit Gaia Blyth can cater to you/all.
Elaine is fun and extremely supportive and approachable. A fantastic instructor and person.
I would not hesitate to recommend CrossFit Gaia Blyth to anyone looking to learn new skills and the ability to push yourself in a dynamic, friendly and supportive environment. Thanks so much Elaine for sharing your knowledge and passion. I am already feeling so much better about myself, barely 4 weeks in!

Let me get this straight... My wife joined crossfit Gaia first and admittedly I poked fun at her as I am not "gym" enthused! .. However, she set the bait for me to attend and what can I say,... I'm a crossfit addict,...An amazing place with an amazing coach who brings out the best in everyone... Elaine really knows her stuff and it's great to be part of a group of people who are in it together and support each other to achieve their best. More...

Amazing place, I always thought crossfit was insanely too hard & only very fit people could do it and there was no chance I could ever do it, but since starting here I feel so much fitter and stronger already and all the training staff are amazing, they take there time to talk you through each movement and scale it to your fitness level, I feel so at ease here and everyone is so friendly. Amazing gym and I love crossfit now! Highly recommended! More...

Absolute cracking little gem of a place, Travelling around the country at times I always try to visit new places, I came across CrossFit Gaia.
I've been here twice now and learnt new skills both times which I will be continuing to improve for my next visit.. I kinda dropped in on a flying visit but it's best to book in advance to avoid disappointment.. The class was very busy.. It's an great place, everyone in the class was very receptive and friendly..
Class started with a good stretch/group warm up, progression techniques, then the WOD followed by cool down/stretch. Elaine was very knowledgeable and encouraging to all.
After individuals completed their own WOD, everyone encouraged the ones who were still working hard until they was all finished.
I shall certainly looking forward to dropping in again when in the area..
Keep up the great work!!!

Tried a taster session on the recommendation of my pal who already attended the facility. Needless to say it’s probably the best place I have trained at for a long time.
Everyone is so friendly and encouraging. Even if your totally useless and haven’t got much of an idea(like me) everything can be scaled down so you can still do it but still be pushed at the same time.
I’m quickly getting addicted to the place and look forward (in a sadistic way) to the next session.
Cheers everyone

I didn't review this place right away as I feel the first workout euphoria wears off over time. Or does it?
It's been almost 1 month now and the euphoria is still flowing after each session!
Motivation is at all time high and Iv been training in "standard gyms" for a number of years.
You get pushed to your upper limits and then beyond, but the understanding of each individual's limit is crucial as everyone is different and that's what the coaches have a strong grasp of. One which only becomes stronger after multiple sessions, soon you find yourself completing movements which only a few weeks ago you couldn't even think about doing.
At this hidden gem, you get out exactly what you put in, you want to improve, get strong, get fit fast, that's exactly what happens.

I joined this box in November and I have never looked back. The classes are always challenging which is great as you know your progressing. In 6 months I feel stronger and healthier than I ever have going to a conventional gym. The community spirit in this box is like no where else. You will never meet nicer people who genuinely want to see you become a better version of yourself. Don't delay, get yourself down there, get stuck in. You don't need to be fit to start as we all have to start somewhere! Love Team Gaia More...

Registering for my free trial has been the best thing I have done fitness wise, in a long long time
I have been going to the gym on and off for a few years and I feel like I have learnt more in the past 4 weeks than I have in the last 4 years.
I hope you realise that you have started to create a box that is full of lunatics that are already improving and smashing goals that they didn't even think they would reach.
Keep up the good work and I am sure that this box will go from strength to strength
