Emily is great, very patient and a great motivator. She encouraged me to push myself and showed me that I am capable of things I was afraid to do and really work hard. 6 week transformation course was a great way to kick start my fitness journey and look at my nutrition and eat cleaner. Thank you so much! More...

I hadn’t stepped foot in a gym before signing up with Emily 3 months ago - so I felt unfit and very nervous before my first PT session. But Emily put me at ease straight away and made me feel comfortable. I’m loving my time at the box and my fitness/confidence has improved so much already. Emily makes me work hard in each session, but also makes it fun. She has also given me excellent nutritional advice - this, combined with the workouts, means I’m losing fat and building muscle, which is exactly what I wanted to get out of this. Wish I’d done this years ago! Thanks Emily � More...

A great place to experience my first CrossFit box.
Both coaches and regular members were welcoming and encouraging, making for a nice easy transition from my regular gym.
Learnt new techniques under watchful eyes of the coach, to ensure I was doing movements both correctly and safely to prevent injury. Attentive coaches to say the least.
Thoroughly enjoyed the workout, and the company.

I've been attending the gym for little over a year now and just couldn't love it more. The coaches are all amazing, knowledge and so encouraging, allowing all abilities to reach their goals. The community atmosphere is so nice, crossfit families do exist and its a strong supportive family here. There is a good range of equipment and the rig and lifting platform doubled in size last year which is fab! More...

Been attending this gym for 3 years now and watched it grow from strength to strength. While the other CrossFit affiliated gyms in the area have fallen by the way side this place keeps bringing people in and for good reason. Run by two fantastic people who put there all into it. With a dance studio and showers upstairs and a whole ground floor dedicated to CrossFit what more could you ask for. Nutrition, stretch, fundamental courses can all be done as well as a perfect selection of classes run by a variety of coaches or an open gym which you can attend in your own time and allows you to do the work out of the day (WOD). Give this place a go you won’t regret it. More...

Great gym with an amazing community atmosphere. Very well equipped with awesome staff and classes. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to try CrossFit or who takes weightlifting seriously.
Previous review states there is a lack of equipment but this is very untrue - it is an independent CrossFit gym (as opposed to a large commercial chain full of running machines). It is extremely well equipped for its purpose.

A fantastic, welcoming CrossFit gym. Carl and Claire are professional, expert and friendly. Catering for all abilities both my wife and I enjoyed the variety of classes from group sessions to sling fit with our daughter. I would say come and visit and have a go, I bet you will be pleasantly surprised! The facilities are excellent and Coaches top notch. A great set up! More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Every client is different, and the key is to listen and get to know them as an individual so that I can help them find a way to achieve their fitness goals in a way that is sustainable for them.
There is no ‘one size fits all’ as what works well for one person may not be something that someone else will be able to stick to long term, and this is as important a factor as the sessions themselves.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Consistency and enjoying the process. Health and fitness should be something which improves your quality of life - not something that you feel miserable trying to work towards! I help my clients to find a way to achieve their goals without having to sacrifice their happiness in other areas and in my experience this leads to far better results.
What do you love most about your job?
I love getting to know my clients and seeing their confidence grow as they progress.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I compete as a CrossFit athlete as well as having a past in BodyBuilding, and so for years I have spent a lot of time in the gym and had a lot of people seeing my own results and asking me for help.
Eventually I was helping so many people it was becoming like a second job, and so because I loved it so much I decided to go for it and make it my actual job.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have a genuine interest in the people I train and as well as being a fitness professional, I also have a lot of personal experience of training and so am very relatable to my clients.
My existing clients have achieved brilliant results, and although many people are initially nervous to get started they have all said that they feel comfortable with me and enjoy the work that we do together - which is why many of them stay with me long term and continue to progress as opposed to wanting to go back to their old lifestyles!
