CFB CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say how impressed I've been with CFB Crossfit. Nigel, Chris, Alex, and the wider team are excellent, really approachable and patient with beginners, but also keen to push you and help you get the best out of yourself. The team have built a great community and environment for achieving the results you're aiming for ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about this gym! From the moment I walked in, the coaches made me feel welcome and supported, no matter my fitness level. The workouts are always challenging but scalable, and the community here is incredibly motivating — everyone pushes each other to be their best.

Fantastic experience: If you're considering joining CFB CrossFit, my advice is to just do it. Seriously, take the leap. Don't be intimidated by what you might see on social media or by the idea of CrossFit being "too intense." Every single person at CFB, from the most seasoned athlete to the absolute beginner, started somewhere. What sets CFB apart, in my experience, is the community and the coaching. You'll find a welcoming and supportive environment where people genuinely want to see you succeed. The coaches are fantastic—knowledgeable, encouraging, and excellent at scaling workouts to any fitness level. You don't need to be strong or fit to start; CrossFit is designed to get you there, safely and effectively. Expect to be challenged, but also expect to surprise yourself with what you're capable of. You'll learn new skills, push your limits, and probably find a new level of fitness you didn't think was possible. This place rocks

Fantastic experience: I don't think there's a right word to describe CFB CrossFit, I joined at the end of March and I can honestly say it's the best decision I have ever made in my life! I was going through a pretty tough time and honestly this was my life saver. It has changed my life in more ways than I could ever imagine! I hadn't heard much about CrossFit, stumbled across it almost but what I know now is that I love it! Not only does it help with fitness, it has helped me mentally and I will be forever grateful. But it is all thanks to the coaches, they are the most supportive, helpful and best cheerleaders you could ask for. I was so unfit and struggled to do most things but with the classes being adaptable to everyone, I have been able to achieve what I thought was impossible! All the members are friendly, supportive and non judgemental which is amazing! Anyone in or around the area considering joining a gym or wanting to get fit should definitely give it a go, you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I first visited CFB CrossFit in December to begin some introductory PT sessions prior to joining classes as my to date gym experience was the typical 24/7 type gym membership. I realised that I wanted more of a push, or challenge in my fitness goals as it’s easy to become stagnant. I was apprehensive of the CrossFit concept but from the off the instructors were incredibly welcoming and couldn’t do more to make me feel at ease during my initial sessions. Once I joined the classes in early January I experienced a type of exercise that’s incredibly challenging and varied but is so very rewarding. I have never left a gym so exhausted with such a smile on my face. The workouts are catered for you regardless of your ability so you are always working to an optimum intensity. The team attitude of the participants and top coaching really make this the ideal way to learn new movements, have fun and really further your fitness in new ways beyond what I would have ever explored before. Everything is explained and demonstrated during each session so you get the full benefit of the coaches experience. I have zero issues in encouraging any one who would like to challenge themselves, learn something new or to just have fun training to check CFB CrossFit out, you will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: Long Overdue Review, But Better Late Than Never! CFB CrossFit is where my CrossFit journey began, and it’s been an amazing experience from the very start. The community is what really sets this gym apart—everyone is friendly, supportive, and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The gym is always clean and well-kept, which is a big bonus. Chris is a fantastic coach—easy to talk to and really understands his clients. The entire coaching team is knowledgeable, motivating, and always there to help you push yourself. Whether you're new to CrossFit or have been doing it for years, they offer excellent guidance to keep you on track and help you reach your goals. I’d highly recommend CFB CrossFit to anyone looking for a brilliant community and a fun, challenging workout environment!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with CFB crossfit for almost two years now, including during my pregnancy. I never felt left out during classes whilst pregnant; they would always find alternative exercises that were safe for me, checking my wellbeing during classes and also always very supportive and accommodating when I needed a break from classes. I am now on maternity leave and can’t wait to come back. I’ve tried several gyms before, including classes and open gym, and I would always give up as they would become boring with time. Crossfit is the one that I’ve been committed the longest, every class is different and you definitely see results. I recommend 100%.

Fantastic experience: Joining CFB was a huge step for me. More from a social point of view, I was worried that people would just stare at me and judge me. But it is far from it. The atmosphere and the community strive everybody on, despite what ability you are. I joined more from a social aspect to begin with and I’ve met some truly remarkable people, who I see now more as close friends. The community has made going to the gym more a team effort and I’m so grateful!

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Joining CFB CrossFit has been an amazing experience! As a new member, I was welcomed with open arms and immediately felt like part of the community. Their supportive coaches and structured programs are helping me achieve my goal of getting fit for fifty. The workouts are tailored to all fitness levels, and the guidance I receive ensures I'm progressing safely and effectively. The positive environment and encouragement from the team are exactly what I needed to stay motivated and on track. If you're looking to challenge yourself and improve your fitness, CFB CrossFit is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: Starting at CFBCrossFit like 4 weeks ago was something new for me and not having a clue what I have to do because all my focus was on work and day to day things and not thinking on my body. Chris was introducing me on to this world of body culture and afterwards I met Alex a magic guy who make me understand every step that I need to take to reach my goals and related things when is coming about alimentation making me too see different the body culture! Let's see where I am in my sixth week ! I can't describe all the things that I'm going through since I start with this guys ( in the better way). After trying one time you will want to keep trying because every session it’s a challenge with yourself!

Fantastic experience: I started crossfit 3 weeks ago and i'm really enjoying the change from powerlifting. I am working muscles that I wouldn't normally work and I can feel the difference already. If your thinking of joining, I 100% recommend giving crossfit ago.

Fantastic experience: I joined CFB for 6 months whilst placed in Basingstoke and it was the BEST decision. Such a genuine and friendly group of people. I'd never done any CrossFit before and they made it so simple to start, such a great atmosphere in classes that it was easy to keep going and build the habit. All of the coaches are excellent and technical, thank you everyone at CFB!

Fantastic experience: I'm new to the Crossfit world and this gym has exceeded all expectations. A new gym can be daunting for anyone but the owners, coaches and everyone who attends the classes make it the most comfortable environment to try new things and push yourself in ways you didn't know you could. If you're even considering Crossfit, I couldn't recommend this place more. I'm fully hooked!

Fantastic experience: As a 51 year old who has let them self go a bit since Covid, I was bit nervous but went along to a bring a friend session at CFB. It was brilliant fun, not what I was expecting at all. I had always thought CrossFit was only for super fit athletes, but CrossFit at CFB is for every one of any age and any fitness level. Classes have a maximum of 12 people so everyone gets what feels like personal attention. The coaches are amazing and guide you through all the workout moves making sure you know what you are doing. What I really love is the fact that everyone is doing the same workout, just at different levels appropriate for each individual. This really gives a sense of camaraderie and makes the atmosphere really supportive. I have not been at the gym long but can’t recommend it enough. If you have found a standard gym is not for you, definitely give CrossFit a go at CFB.

Fantastic experience: Excellent classes at a huge range of times to choose from (includingSunday!). Only been going about 6 weeks and already feeling stronger. All the coach's are attentive and will adjust their style of teaching to suit you best

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable & friendly staff, good atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Really great place to train. Brilliant programming and excellent coaches. Really friendly environment. Recommended to anyone just starting or experienced athletes.

Fantastic experience: I joined at the beginning of the year to lose weight and improve my fitness. My fitness has improved and I have lost 3kg of weight. All the coaches are amazing and the community are very friendly and helpful. The level method assessment is great way start so you can perform at recommend levels for the group workouts. The varied workouts and working out in a group keeps me motivated. I'm looking forward to pushing myself to the next level.

Fantastic experience: Fab facilities, friendly and professional staff, workouts tailored to your ability level and classes at varied times during the day. Regular check in meetings to review and push your training. All in all a great place to work out

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! A great place to train. All the Coaches and other members are very friendly and welcoming. No matter how tired or unmotivated I feel before I go in, I always end up having a great workout. After completing my first month I can already feel a big improvement in my fitness.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Basingstoke delivers an exceptional fitness experience. You're welcomed by a supportive community and expert coaches with workouts tailored to all fitness levels. I’ve found working out in a group setting motivating and pushes me to work harder. Each member has a coach assigned to them with regular check in’s to ensure they stay on track to reach their fitness goals. I fully recommend joining an intro class to get started.

Fantastic experience: I’m still very new to CrossFit after only joining just over a week ago and can safely say that I wish I’d joined years ago! I was a bit apprehensive at first as I thought I’d be overwhelmed by all the different movements and exercises, but my coach Alex helped me a lot by settling me in and teaching me techniques that makes things a little easier. I’m amazed by what’s involved and have absolutely loved what I’ve been doing and what I’ve seen from others so far. Every class/session I’ve been to so far has been different and I’ve been constantly learning which is great. If you want a full body workout then this is absolutely what you get here. The coaches are always on hand to help, no matter what your question is. The other members are friendly and welcoming which is what you need when starting a new gym. CrossFit Basingstoke certainly has a community feel about it and one that I’m looking to be a part of as I get know everyone.

Fantastic experience: I joined CFB 10 months ago, never been a member of a gym or lifted any weights before, a total beginner. The team have guided me through and tailored the classes to my needs. Coaches/PT's are well seasoned professionals with keen eye for detail and form. With excellent facilities, I've never looked back!

Fantastic experience: I joined CFB one month ago as a total newbie to crossfit and I wish I had joined sooner! Everyone is very friendly and the trainers/ coaches are very supportive and best of all it is so much fun! I highly recommend it to everyone.

Fantastic experience: So I joined a few weeks ago. Usually the novelty of a new routine is wearing off by now but honestly I quite look forward to my crossfit classes. I am extremely overweight but find the fact that the classes are tailored according to ability really useful. Not everyone is slim and in shape as well, it is a real mix which feels less daunting when you have a long way to go. I'm really competitive so the level method works super well for me, and is motivating to keep coming. Finally, the staff are awesome! Relly patient, take the time to make sure you understand the moves and seem to actually care about your improvement. I'd definitely recommend :)

Fantastic experience: I joined CFB temporarily whilst working from home to try and reduce the impact of hotel breakfasts. The team had been so welcoming, and understanding of my personal situation. I completed the PT classes with Alex who is so knowledgeable and made sure I knew everything I needed to for the group classes. I enjoyed how challenging they were and also seeing how I progressed through different parts of the level method table. I really wish I could transport CFB to Essex to continue on my CrossFit journey! Hats off to the team, keep it up

Fantastic experience: Almost a month with the CFB the vibe and people are great

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a warm welcome, community spirit from likeminded people, varied workouts, scaling, options and the chance to work on your nutrition, then look no further than CFB CrossFit! Chris and Nigel are brilliant at making you feel welcome from the get-go. Their knowledge and enthusiasm to help you achieve your goals is exceptional. On my journey, which I am a year into now, I feel stronger, fitter, and lighter having previously not exercised, other than walking for a good while. The level method and CFB CrossFit was exactly what I was looking for. Recently, I took part in a 1 month nutritional challenge and under their guidance, lost 3kg! During the 4 week challenge you are given topics to work on each week. You have weekly catch up and review sessions with the others doing the challenge, and that gives you an opportunity to discuss what you are doing, swap recipes and ideas and to pick up some hints and tips from the others. Highly recommended, contact them today!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to CFB CrossFit for nearly 3 months now and have enjoyed every minute. I genuinely look forward to each class and would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Basingstoke at the end of September 2022 and have loved my journey so far. The coaches and other members have been so supportive and welcoming. Our personal training sessions with Nigel and Chris were great and helped us join the group sessions with confidence. It’s the first time I’ve felt positive walking into a gym setting. With help and guidance with my nutrition, along with the workouts, I have managed to loose 5kg in 6 weeks!

Fantastic experience: I joined in September 2022 as a complete beginner to Cross Fit. I attended my 'No Sweat' session and haven't looked back since! I have had full support with my fitness journey, with sessions thoroughly explaining how to correctly use the equipment and how to lift weights with the correct form and guidance with my nutrition, giving me full confidence from the get-go. To date, I have lost 7kg and continue to achieve my fitness goals with the help and support of all the coaches and fellow members.

Fantastic experience: Nigel and Chris are phenomenal coaches and have a great facility and an exceptional program that uses a level system tailor fit to all ages and abilities to guide them to reaching their potential. I was visiting the UK from the US for a week and needed a place to workout and they took me in as one of their own. I have been to CF gyms all over the US and this one blows them all away. If I didn’t live an ocean away I would definitely be a member!

Fantastic experience: I was recommended crossfit from a friend who went on an incredible journey through CrossFit and she inspired me to give it a try. After boot camps, different gyms, going it alone, I really feel CFB is giving me the confidence and the knowledge to really step up my fitness. It’s hard but it’s fun and the atmosphere is great! The coaches are knowledgeable and so encouraging! Now I actually look forward to every class!

Fantastic experience: Signing up to CFB was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I've been scared of commercial gyms because of the lack of knowledge with the equipment, also because of my own motivation and terrible lack of fitness, but CFB have everything nailed. You turn up, you're told what to do, the workouts are scaled to your abilities and the classes have smaller numbers so the coaches can observe your movements and make sure you're doing them safely and correctly. I'm quite a shy person in group settings too but the atmosphere and the support from all the members and the coaches is incredible and I don't feel out of place at all. I’m actually excited for every next WOD! Which is a lot for me to say bearing in mind fitness has NEVER been my thing! Thanks CFB!!!

Positive experience: Nice quiet place for some personal time with yourself. Not your regular place if you are seeking for an everyday affordable gym. Your place if you want fast results and ready to spend on yourself. They are specialised pro trainers.

Fantastic experience: CF Basingstoke has been a big part of my life for the last few years. My highlights: -Community: The culture of the gym is friendly and welcoming. This starts with Chris and Nigel, the owners of CFB, who are great people who want the best for everyone. When I went on my first taster session, I remember asking where all the mirrors were! There are no mirrors in a CF gym and that’s the point in many respects. It’s not about what people look like and egos. It’s about a community of people helping each other to get better – whatever their level of fitness. -Mental Health: I firmly believe that mental health and fitness are linked. The sense of achievement and positive mental health from being fitter and stronger is something I have gained from being a member. It helps me in all aspects of my day job / family life. -Fitness: All you have to do is turn up and you will get results! The nice thing about CFB is the variety of workouts. There are always things to work on and you never get bored because it is different every day. The workouts have scales so it doesn’t matter how fit you are. My levels of fitness are dramatically different to when I first joined. Sign up for a taster / get in touch with Chris or Nigel.

Fantastic experience: Nigel and Chris are absolutely brilliant coaches. I have never been to a gym before but five months in I have lost 18kg! The PT sessions are great and the morning WODs are at the perfect time to go before work. Nigel and Chris are so supportive, they work with you to support you reaching your goals as well as having a laugh along the way. My only regret is that I didn’t join CFB Crossfit earlier. Highly recommended. Friendly class based environment. The level method tracks your progress really well. I would highly recommend CFB Crossfit to anyone of any fitness level.

Fantastic experience: Super Training mit schnellen Ergebnissen & tolle community!

Fantastic experience: Really friendly team, caters for all levels of fitness and age.. Give it a go

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for nearly 2 years now. Before I joined I didn’t know anything about CrossFit, what it’s about, what it was, etc. I just wanted to to improve my fitness, lose some weight and feel better about myself. Nearly 2 years on I’m the fittest I’ve ever been and even still making improvements. The CrossFit community is very supportive and it’s great to just come to a gym and have all your programming done for you. I started out scaling all the movements and over time with practice, coaching and improving strength and mobility I’ve been able to achieve these and now I’m increasing the weight too. So if like me you’re thinking… What’s CrossFit? Do I have to be an athlete? Do I have to know how to Olympic lift? Do I have to be able to do a pull up. The answer is no! You will soon learn though. And maybe you’ll begin to love it too.

Fantastic experience: Had always been interested in joining a box and found too many excuses not too, took the plunge in 21 and it turned out better than I could have ever expected! A massive kudos to Chris, Nigel & team for creating both a safe & welcoming environment but also one where you can genuinely improve yourself each and every week! Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended - great coaches to support you, a huge variety of workouts and awesome community of fellow athletes. I have been attending for around a year and still look forward to every visit.

Fantastic experience: What a great community. Challenge, support and like minded people all focused to help each other. Coupled with informed and caring coaches who will push and support you as far as you want to go.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend CFB CrossFit! Since joining 2 years ago I have received professional coaching, advice and support from the team! Helping me day in day out to reach my goals! It’s a brilliant gym that provides a great community feeling.

Fantastic experience: Been a member here for nearly 2 months now and have enjoyed every session! The coaches are brilliant, and always happy to help with any aspect of the workout. The other members are very friendly, approachable and there's no egos! I wish I'd joined sooner!

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend this place enough! Since i’ve started in February my lifestyle has drastically changed! Crossfit and the Nutrition program is amazing and you’ll find the most competent and supportive coaches here! The environment is great the vibe and the people are the best! And this is coming from someone who had zero experience in crossfit and a really nervous person! Seriously joining CFB was the best thing i’ve done to myself. If you’re thinking of signing up, please don’t hesitate! you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: What a gym. I’m nearly two years into my CrossFit journey and the only thing I regret is not starting sooner. There’s an incredible community at CFB and knowledgable coaches who are always on hand to help out. I was sceptical at first as CrossFit looked fairly complicated but you’re in good hands at CFB who will help with all aspects of scaling. You’re missing out so get booked on and come try it out. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for a 18months or so, I’ve learnt so much from Olympic lifting, gymnastics, conditioning and CrossFit fundamentals. Through the coaching and nutritional help I’ve lost weight and kept it off, and I’m now focusing on eating and training for my new goals set around performance and strength and not just centred around the scales. Highly recommend checking out CFB and speaking to the coaches to help tailor the right program for you.

Fantastic experience: Cant recommend this place highly enough! This is a great place to go if you are looking at getting into fitness, and improving your overall level of fitness using strength and conditioning as the foundations. As crossfit boxes goes this is one of the friendliest , making you feel inclusive straightaway! Its really light and airy and a great space to workout in, leaving you with good vibes when you have finished a class! Coaches are fantastic and always on hand to help you achieve your goals and the rest of team are just amazing, very friendly and extremely helpful with any questions you might have! If you are thinking what are my next steps to getting back into fitness then drop these guys a message and book on for a no sweat intro! 10/10 Awesome place/awesome coaches and awesome clients.

Fantastic experience: Joined up in May to improve my fitness and the difference the guys have made is incredible. The coaches are all lovely, knowledgeable and professional. They push you just the right amount. There's no egos, the gym has a real community vibe. Thoroughly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have been at CrossFit Basingstoke (CFB) for a while and thought I always knew how good it was but actually it is amazing. After a serious illness the coaches have all supported and helped me to get back on track which I can hand on heart say I never thought I would do. ( certainly wouldn’t of done if left to my own devices ) To add to it I am no spring chicken!! The coaches are very knowledgeable , friendly and approachable , the community are amazing and the workouts so adaptable to meet your individual abilities. Can’t recommend CFB enough.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of CFB for the best part of a year now and would recommend it to anyone! I have been strength training for years but love the variety of programming with CrossFit. I've learned lots of new skills, built in strength and enjoyed the process. There's a lovely atmosphere at the gym and the coaches are knowledgable and friendly too!

Fantastic experience: Amazing community!!

Fantastic experience: Just completed taster and fundamentals course. Ready to start fully on my return from holidays and excited to do so. So far very friendly and supportive!

Fantastic experience: fantastic crossfit gym with brilliant coaches, they are very knowledgeable and the WOD’s are always good!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to train!Great community and superb coaches!Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend it highly enough! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff! Everyone makes you feel really welcome ️‍♀️

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility, friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Basingstoke is my go to place to get my mojo back, reduce stress, get fitter and better. Chris, Nigel and the rest of them are great coaches who really push you get out of your comfort zone and become better versions of yourself. Great vibe and community too. Can't recommend them enough. Keep it up, guys.

Fantastic experience: I have so much fun every time I walk through the door, the coaches are so helpful they makes it easy to turn up (something I would not say about a gym lol).

Fantastic experience: Great crowd, enjoyable session that are varied. Considering I avoided the gym previously, this has changed my opinion hugely. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great Crossfit gym, top trainers and community. Perfect for beginners through to competitors.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are knowledgeable and actually interested in you as an individual, which is a real differentiator for me from some of the other local gyms. The community aspect is great, everyone pushes each other along and wants to see everyone succeed. I've achieved more in the time I've been going to CFB than I ever have with previous gyms! Highly recommend regardless of what your starting point is in your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Some months ago I walked in, very unfit, overweight and unhealthy. The team and other members were very welcoming and started me on a great journey that is very much still ongoing. There is no judgement, negativity or snobbishness and the last person gets the biggest cheers! Highly recommended, for any level of fitness or size person, all the exercises can be scaled to your level and you will be supported through your journey by a very skilled and experienced team of coaches.

Fantastic experience: After a long break from playing sport and gym training I was really missing the commararde and banter that they both offered. I was debating for a while about trying CrossFit. From the moment I arrived I was made to feel welcome from both the coaches and members. Following a few sessions to take me through the movement’s I was then able to complete my first wod. In which you receive nothing but support and encouragement. The workout isn’t finished until everyone has finished. I love the sense of community that is very apparent at CrossFit. The coaches are exceptionally knowledgable on all aspects of fitness and nutrition and will always spare the time to answers questions or give pointers and advice. I particularly like the fact that there are no egos with the members. Even to the point of assisting other members with their own goals.

Fantastic experience: Great people, great community and great vibe. The best place to train in Basingstoke if you want experienced coaching, the opportunity to grow as an individual and to make friends and connections with other like minded people. popping into CFB will be the best decision you ever made.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to build a new you

Fantastic experience: Great gym and awesome community. Dropped in over the summer and we’re welcomed with open arms. Thanks for the hospitality
