Cross Functional Fitness Ltd

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for three years now which have flown by. I never attended a gym before as I wasn’t into that kind of exercise. However my only regret now is that I didn’t do this years ago. Stuart is an expert in his field and I always feel secure in the challenges he sets me. There is a great sense of community and support in the gym from Stuart and the other members. I follow a strength training programme which has lots of variety. Stuart also focusses on Nutrition and Healthy Lifestyle which I find really helpful. I would highly recommend Cross Functional Fitness to anyone and especially to over 50’s who want to keep healthy, mobile and who would benefit from support to achieve their lifestyle goals.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing gym.. in a few months I have lost over half a stone, feel healthier and definitely stronger thanks to the training and advice from the team at cross functional fitness... As someone with hip issues i definitely highly recommend them

Fantastic experience: After recently moving to the area I started at the gym back in June. I do a lot of running and was getting a lot of hip, hamstring and glute pain so starting going to the group classes to build up my strength. What an amazing turnaround and after 3 months I can say that I am pain free and this is down to Stuart and Emmy (trainers). I was welcomed in to this friendly gym by the trainer's and other members, there is a relaxed and stress free atmosphere and a lot of good craic. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Great gym with an amazing atmosphere! I started with a medical shoulder issue that made lifting heavy weights difficult, but thanks to Stuart’s knowledge and guidance, I’m now lifting pain-free, getting stronger, and feeling better than ever. Definitely the best gym I’ve ever used – goal-oriented, supportive, and a lovely place to train!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been using the gym for over a year now. We were pretty inexperienced and novices to a gym but Stuart’s knowledge, expertise and patience has been reassuring for us. Our goals to keep improving, get healthy and have better nutrition have all been met. It’s such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere and we couldn’t recommend it enough. We are very lucky to have found Stuart, Emmy and cross functional fitness.

Fantastic experience: Friendly gym for all ages. Stuart will alter your programme to suit your ability but it’s always challenging

Fantastic experience: I joined Cross Functional Fitness around three months ago, after putting it off for a very long time...ironically it was an adverse situation that made me take action...I sustained a major knee injury and after a successful operation on this in late January, I knew the time had arrived to turn this setback into a positive. I made the decision to get in touch with Stuart @Cross Functional Fitness and explained my situation...I immediately felt relaxed by the whole environment Stuart has created in his gym and we sat down and discussed the various options I could choose from. Stuart also explained how he would create a rehab plan catered for my specific needs - which would be reviewed every 3 months with a progress and going forward chat (which I've just had!). I can't explain how delighted I am to have made this decision, I can see huge progress in my whole body fitness and more importantly, the condition of my knee. This is only the beginning of my journey here at CFF and I'm loving every minute of it. The people who use it are lovely, no ego's, just encouragement and craic too! Also the set-up is fantastic and the two Trainers I've been in contact with ( Stuart and Emmy) are just brilliant at what they do, watching everyone's every move and offering advice on posture or patience too (which I need at times!) These are just two examples of how client's are supported, day in, day out. I strongly advise anyone considering taking up ANY type of fitness regime, to drop Stuart a PM or give him a call! You certainly WILL NOT regret it.

Fantastic experience: Cross Functional Fitness has been brilliant for me. The PTs I've worked with there - Stuart and Emmy - have been fantastic - They are so approachable, encouraging and knowledgeable. I had never lifted weights before going to Cross Functional Fitness and felt intimidated before going along to my first session. I had no need to worry - I only wish I had started going here years ago. It's such a friendly, space where I actively look forward to every session. The gym has absolutely everything you need under its roof and there's a really great atmosphere there. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I am thrilled to share my experience with Stuart, my strength and conditioning coach at Cross Functional Fitness. When I first started, I was struggling with knee pain and carrying weight in all the wrong places. However, Stuart's expertise and personalized approach made all the difference I've dropped almost 10kg and am now lifting nearly twice my body weight! One of the most appealing aspects of this gym was the absence of before and after pictures. This moved the focus off end goals and on to a permanent change in lifestyle, this incidentally took a lot of pressure off me. The biggest benefits I've experienced are how healthy, fit, and strong I feel. At 40, I can confidently say I feel fitter than ever! This transformation is crucial for me as a musician and performer, ensuring I can continue to work for years to come. Stuart has not only helped me reach physical goals but has also instilled a sense of confidence in my abilities. If you're looking for a coach with an incredible depth of knowledge from injury treatment/ prevention to precision perfect training progression, Stuart is undoubtedly your man. Thank you for everything Stuart!

Fantastic experience: Having trained with Stuart, Jack and the wider CFF team for two years now, I have no hesitations in recommending this wonderful community and gym to people of all abilities and age. My knowledge of strength, mobility, nutrition and overall health has increased immensely through regular group personal training sessions and online resources from CFF. I have gained strength, wellness and management of Rheumatoid Arthiritis without medication since joining January 2023. I have enjoyed participation in events such as Christmas Lift Off, Summer games, hikes, barbecues and the banter in the gym and CFF social media groups. The sense of community, inspiration from other members and friendships gained has been an amazing aspect of my CFF journey thus far and I look forward to continuing this journey for many years to come. Hats off to Stuart for all his efforts in building this awesome company and community.

Fantastic experience: I joined Cross Functional Fitness about a year ago after having my second baby and not having done much exercise in a few years because of the demands of motherhood. Since then, I haven't looked back. It is such a friendly and welcoming environment to train in. Stuart and his team are full of great advice and support. I go to group fitness classes, small group pt and the open gym. There is something to suit everyone regardless of ability. Other gym members and I are training to do our first Hyrox race. Stuart has gone the extra mile by putting on a simulation to help us prepare, also tailoring pt programmes for your needs. Highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Cross Functional Fitness is by far the friendliest gym I’ve been a part of. The coaches are super knowledgeable and always willing to help you push hard for your training goals (if you want to). My strength and fitness have progressed massively since I joined CFF and have met a great group of like minded athletes along the way. I can’t think of any gym I’d rather be a part of.

Fantastic experience: Cross Functional Fitness isn’t just a gym it’s a wee community made up of people of all ages and abilities, who all encourage and support each other. Stuart and his small team are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about fitness and nutrition. I started my fitness journey about 6 years ago and have been with Stuart for just over a year. I have made more progress and gained more confidence and knowledge in my own fitness in my time with Cross Functional Fitness than I had in the previous 5 years in a number of other gym environments which I found slightly intimidating. So thank you to everyone (staff and members)at Cross Functional Fitness for making my gym experience so much more fun and productive.

Fantastic experience: Joined Cross Functional fitness in June 2023. I love this gym and quickly felt a huge part of the gym community. There is a lot of motivation both from Stuart & Jack and also motivation from fellow gym members who applaud everyone's achievements and goals. It is great being part of a very humble and motivational community. I've met great people through Cross functional fitness and I am just as thankful for that than I am for the boost its created for my mental and physical health, confidence and self esteem.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Cross Functional Fitness. I have been going twice a week to the small group personal training classes for almost a year now and would go three times a week if I could, but for work commitments. I have seen a noticeable difference in my strength and fitness. Thank you Stewart and Jack. As Kate Rooney says it’s the best gym in County Down.

Fantastic experience: The most friendly and approachable gym about. I do the large class workouts witch are brilliant. It's the first gym I've been at where the craic is as good as the workouts. Stuart and the team can't do enough to help with recommending different excersise and approaches in classes if suffering from a preexisting injury. I've really noticed the benefits in my day to day life and in the other sports I play.

Fantastic experience: Stuart and the team doing a great job, and the gym offering everything you need

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Cross Functional Fitness close to 5 years now. In that time the gym has extended and undergone renovations and upgrades and Jack has joined as a coach, but one thing has stayed the same and that is the atmosphere and buzz in the gym. Alongside the craic and support amongst the members, Stuart has been the best coach i have ever worked with, he is dedicated to My Goals and helping me achieve them. He is caring and authentic but challenges and pushes me at the same time. I love the gym and see it as a huge part of my lifestyle and routine. Both Stuart and Jack are encouraging and motivating ( although keep your eye on Jack as he does slip the odd weight on when your not looking ) and Stuart also tries to slip Bulgarian split squats onto your plan even though we agreed they are not in Plan !!! lol If you want a gym that Is unique and authentic then you couldn’t go wrong with cross functional fitness. Commercial Gyms simply can’t replicate what you get here. Stuart & Jack and the members helped me reach a goal in 2021 of entering a powerlifting Comp, I would have never done such a thing without the support I receive can’t recommend Cross Functional Fitness highly enough …. This time you get the Gold Stars ⭐️ Stuart …

Fantastic experience: Crossfunctional fitness under Stuart's guidance has created a training ethos that makes you feel like you are part of something. Classes are intense, focused on teamwork and effort and I have met many friends at crossfunctional fitness. I cannot recommend the classes, PT sessions or open gym highly enough!

Fantastic experience: The perfect place for improving fitness, gaining strength and seeing friendly faces each week. Stuart and Jack run great classes with well-designed programmes that can be followed by all fitness levels. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending training classes by Stuart and Jack for the last 2 years. Classes take place inside and outside. It’s a friendly and encouraging environment with expert guidance and can highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend highly enough, Stuart from Cross Functional Fitness. As a full time Mental Health Nurse and mother of two young children I can honestly say that this is the most important hour of my week. When starting out with Stuart approximately 3 years ago I struggled with lower back issues and wanted to improve my fitness, strength and overall motivation. After an initial consultation Stuart worked with me in confidently building up strength in my lower back. He put together a program that has kept me interested, motivated and challenged and each week I walk away feeling very rewarded. There may be a few days of aches and pains but you quickly realise that this is a positive thing and reinforces your progress. Recently my husband started with Stuart and we now train together. Stuart is knowledgeable, professional, importantly good humoured and cares about his clients.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with my PT Stuart Thompson since 2017. I’m an online customer but I wouldn’t recommend him enough. He provided & still provides me with tailored workouts that really suit what I need & what I want. & this only after a very accurate check up of my health & measurements. I can also always confide in him for nutritional advice & motivation when I need. We work together through an App that works perfectly & he stays in touch every time he changes my routine. I highly recommend Cross Functional Fitness, no matter where you live.

Fantastic experience: Top class personal trainer. A friend advised me to make an appointment with Stuart to see if he could help me reach my goals. Absolutely fantastic coach. He listens to what the client wants to achieve, then sets about helping them get their goal. No judgement, or lectures. Just positive encouragement. Gold stars all round.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend classes at Cross Functional Fitness. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere with informed expert guidance on training and nutrition provided by Stuart. Classes tailored to suit everyone regardless of age or ability.

Fantastic experience: Under Steward guidance, he makes it suitable for all levels of Fitness, thereby making it comfortable for everyone. His subtle words of encouragement make you want to keep going. I would have no hesitation in recommending CrossFit with Stewart at the wheel.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience training with Stuart. Most caring PT i have trained with and he tailors plans to suit YOU! Highly recommend Cross Functional Fitness and will definitely be back in the near future
