CrossFit^® Great Stour

Fantastic experience: CFGS is a great place to train and get involved, I have tried varying different activities and groups over the years and never felt fully invested. I feel my fitness has improved with CFGS, and as someone who can take time to settle in group environments the coaches and members have helped me feel comfortable and welcomed.

Fantastic experience: As someone who tends to be more introverted, I was nervous about joining a group fitness environment, but Great Stour CrossFit has completely changed my perspective. From the very first session, I felt welcomed without being overwhelmed. There’s a real sense of community here, but without the pressure to be overly social or extroverted. Everyone respects your space and pace, which is incredibly refreshing. The coaches are absolutely fantastic. They strike the perfect balance between being supportive and hands-off—they’re always watching for proper form and quick to offer helpful, constructive advice. Whether you’re completely new or more experienced, they meet you where you are and genuinely want to help you improve safely and confidently. It’s clear that Great Stour CrossFit isn't just about fitness—it’s about building strength in a way that feels personal, sustainable, and encouraging. I can’t recommend it enough, especially for those who value quality coaching.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! CrossFit Great Stour has completely changed the way I feel about fitness.The coaches are friendly, encouraging, and really know their stuff. Every workout is different, challenging, and fun. I’ve gotten stronger, more confident, and really look forward to going. The community is amazing ,everyone cheers each other on. If you're thinking about trying gym or your fitness journey ... this is the place to be. Niru

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love CFGS! I started 8 months ago after a free taster session and was immediately hooked. The coaches are awesome and really make you feel at home & welcome from the start. The people are welcoming & friendly - expect to make a few new friends The sessions are great & always new, so you never get bored. I personally love that I don’t have to think about what to do, as each session is already mapped out, including stretching! So grateful I found CFGS, it’s been great for not only my physical health, but mental too. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to CrossFit Great Stour for over a year now, and joining was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I started as a complete beginner and have come so far thanks to the amazing coaches and supportive community. It’s a place that pushes you, supports you, and makes training genuinely enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Fabulous coaches and superb facilities

Fantastic experience: Came for a drop in. Really friendly bunch, great work out. Recently refurbished to a high standard. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Visited CrossFit Great Stour while travelling from Australia and I was so impressed with the experience I had! Great vibe, incredibly welcoming environment and excellent coaches. The class was really well structured, I felt prepared for the workout and I was challenged to push myself at all the right times. If I lived Ashford there is no doubt I would train at this box - I highly recommend training here and giving them a go even if you’re new to CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: Joining CrossFit Great Stour has been life-changing! Supportive coaches & an amazing community. The most consistent Ive ever been with training and feeling stronger, happier, & truly part of something special.

Fantastic experience: Great box with very friendly people and helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: Great fun tonight

Fantastic experience: My son has a great time, a real sense of community for teenagers.

Fantastic experience: I started Crossfit Great Stour in December 2021, after having my second children I was struggling to lose my baby weight and get back to the fitness I had before I had children. I had no idea what to expect out of Crossfit, or how I would fit in, especially worrying about not being fit enough to even do it. But now I can't see my life without now. I've never been at this level of fitness before even after 2 children, and for the first time in forever my new years resolution doesn't consist of losing weight. Just getting fitter and stronger my mindset has completely changed. I can't recommend this place enough. There's a great sense of team work here and everyone helps you through this fitness journey. Thank you to you all, for all your hard work and making this place the best to be apart of.

Fantastic experience: Coming up to a year of being a member of CFGS, and it has been one I wont forget! The coaches are fantastic - they each bring their own knowledge and expertise to the sessions, but you can see as a coaching team they have one thing at the heart of everything they do - and that's the members! They focus on technique and form over weight, they push when you need it and know when to dial it back if necessary- they are so quick at assessing each individuals capabilities and always work with you to scale if needed :-) The members were so welcoming from the start, and it really is a community - I have never been in an environment where everyone is so so encouraging and want to see people be the best they can be! I have not only learnt so much about what I can do and what is possible but I have made some real friends, and going every week is something I couldn't do without in my life! - You wont regret walking through those doors for a second! What are you waiting for.....

Fantastic experience: I love this place although ‘place’ is insufficient to describe CFGS. The coaches, the other members, the sense of community, the banter, the development of kids and teens as well as adults, it all adds up to a very special ‘place’ indeed.

Fantastic experience: CF great stour is part of the OG core of CrossFit in kent! A great place full of knowedgable staff and an even greater sense of community. You would do well to have your first session here!

Fantastic experience: I joined CFGS 1 year ago and have not looked back. Amazing coaches, amazing community and now amazing friends too!!! I feel stronger and healthier and wish I had joined sooner

Fantastic experience: CFGS stour has been a HUGE positive impact on my life. I am now confident, social and love exercising. The coaches are extremely friendly & supportive. I wish I found them sooner.

Fantastic experience: At 47 years old, I decided to take a giant step and join Crossfit Great Stour, with no previous experience in a gym (and absolutely terrified)! I found the coaches amazing with their knowledge and guidance and the members are amazing with their support. Best decision I made. Thank you Crossfit Great Stour.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Great Stour isn't just a gym. It's a place full of positive affirmation, encouragement and care. The coaches know when to push you and when to hold you back. They scale and adapt quickly for individuals so everyone is wholeheartedly included in a WOD regardless of experience, injury or ability. It's a place where you're supported not only by the coaches but by every other member. It's a place where you'll sweat, laugh and achieve things you never imagined you could do. I'm 62 and climbing ropes, doing push ups and bench pressing 63kg. It's a place you could get addicted to.

Fantastic experience: Best gym! Great atmosphere, amazing, knowledgeabale, supportive and encouraging coaches. Lovely members community. Variety of trainings. Lots of time slots to choose from to suit everyone's needs (work, family, school etc). I could not be happier that I made a decision to join CrossFit Great Stour.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to train with friendly, helpful coaches. Far better than going to a gym and picking random exercises, here you get well thought out, planned and structured sessions that push you in a safe and nurturing environment! My favourite place to switch off and destress after a busy day at work!

Fantastic experience: I have been at a gym for over 9 years and this is the best change I have done for my mind and body! Great community feel, your not alone, ideal for beginners, pretty much 1/1 coaching every session. I love it!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Great Stour has been the making of me! They have made the next step of my fitness journey the best! The coaches have all helped me to realise what I’m capable of, at my own pace but with that little extra push to take me out of my comfort zone, each time helping me to the next level. They celebrate my successes and pick me up when I need it. The members are all incredible too! I’ve discovered a new fitness family at CrossFit Great Stour. Best decision I’ve made in years.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic box with the most supportive members and coaches! They all motivate you and you really feel reassured knowing all coaches are certified beyond Level 2, which means they really know what they're doing. Give it a go, you'll love it!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of CrossFit Great Stour for 3 years now and in that time I've been coached and guided safely through two pregnancies. A time that would normally put huge amounts of strain on my joints (I have hypermobility ehlers danlos syndrome), was made far more comfortable because of the strength I'd gained through CrossFit. Chase and Nicola are amazing Box owners, and even more incredible coaches. Their guidance, experience, and expertise has been invaluable to me. I've also received amazing sports massage from Leanne (BodyFix) and chiropractic treatment from James (Burgess Chiropractic Ltd.) Both of these areas help supplement the training done in the Box. I wholeheartedly recommend this Box: their passion and care is evident in all they do.

Fantastic experience: A great place to train, fantastic environment and has pushed me harder than anything else I have done.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train. With even greater coaches to help you every step of the way. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming highly recommend to everyone!!

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome bunch, coaches & members! What ever your ability you will not be disappointed. You don't know what you missing...

Fantastic experience: I started here about 7 weeks ago. I was very nervous and unsure, as even after the induction, i was not confident that this was something that I felt I could do. What allayed those fears was how amazing the coaches are, the all inclusive atmosphere and the fact that everyone is friendly and supportive. Chase, Nikki and Elise are absolutely amazing coaches. They are there with you every single step of the way. Nothing is ever too much trouble and it does not matter whether you only use a training bar or wether you're an athlete; everyone gets the same treatment. I cannot recommend this box highly enough. There is nothing I can fault them on; they are just wonderfully caring, nurturing and supportive.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train. Great motivating atmosphere, knowledgable Coaches and welcoming members. I've achieved things I never dreamed possible since joining Crossfit Great stour, it's changed me not just physically but mentally too. Highly recommend to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit is great and really is for everyone. Crossfit Great Stour have built a commmunity that supports athletes and competitive Crossfitters but also helps non competitive people achieve their own strength and fitness goals. Good mix of cardio, flexibility and strength training. Loads of sessions everyday, easy to book on and constantly varied. Great fun and never repetitive. Great monthly membership model with no tie ins. The atmosphere keeps us all coming back for more and everybody makes huge health and strength gains.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic box with great coaches that are very knowledgeable and supportive. Other box users are friendly and warm welcoming. I would recommend to anyone regardless of your fitness level as the workout can be scaled

Fantastic experience: Coaches are excellent and motivate you to reach goals that you would never dream possible. Atmosphere is relaxed and fun. Great facility , I would highly recommend GS crossfit , trust me you'll get addicted!!

Fantastic experience: Been a member since opening day. Amazing box, amazing coaches, I couldn’t imagine training anywhere else. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at CFGS since it first opened which speaks for itself as it's been going a good few years now. I've done various types of training and this is by far the most enjoyable giving the best all round results. The box has a real friendly vibe thanks to Chase and Nicki which has attracted great coaches and members alike. I highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love coming to this box. The coaches are amazing with so much knowledge. They've helped me out so much by scaling workouts during my pregnancy and making sure I didn't over-do it by keeping an eye on me. Everyone who comes here is friendly and welcoming and the coaches truly care. It's a great place to work out and it's become an important part of my life. I cannot recommend Crossfit Great Stour enough.
