CrossFit® Clifton: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Brilliant positive environment, small classes and great coaches. Always availability which is a real plus too.
Fantastic experience: Amazing and incredibly friendly gym. I've come back postpartum and Jess has been brilliant with my recovery, takes the time to give individual help and advice throughout the session. Couldn't recommend more.
Fantastic experience: Great class if you are looking for a way to exercise after having a baby and meet other mums. The classes are small (maximum 8), everyone brings their babies along in pushchairs, and the exercises are tailored for recovering mums to get their core strength back.
Fantastic experience: I love it! I go to the mum’s and babies class whenever I can and I always feel so much better for going. Jess is so friendly and helps occupy the babies while us mums work out!
Fantastic experience: Friendly and welcoming gym!
Fantastic experience: Great classes with knowledgeable and friendly coaches. Never more than 10 in a class so always feel like there is a good level of 1:1 support. Very friendly and supportive of beginners :-)
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and great coaches! Very nice and friendly environment.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with attentive coaches, highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Great gym to train in, very good instructors, lovely crowd of people, diverse, hard and interesting workouts!
Fantastic experience: I've been a member of CrossFit Clifton for a month now, and I highly recommend it. The gym is exceptional and has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is professional and supportive, especially for beginners like me, always ready to assist and offer advice. They also have a variety of classes every day, catering to all fitness levels and preferences.
Fantastic experience: Never been to the gym before, never run before, basically a total beginner, but started CrossFit a bit more than a month ago. Loved it from the first session, a great team is looking after you and the atmosphere is awesome. I would definitely recommend CrossFit Clifton ! Come and push your limits !
Fantastic experience: Organised, efficient, friendly, and excellent coaching technique and tips, recommend!!
Fantastic experience: I enjoy my time at CrossFit Clifton. The coach is nice. And it is really nice to work with others:)
Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit I’ve been to. Friendly & professional staff, great team and the workouts are challenging in the best way. I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. The space is small which works because it forces you to get to know people working out with you. I’ve met so many awesome people here. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I’m New to cross fit. Was scared to join as I thought I’m getting on a bit and I wouldn’t be able to do it but Cathie and everyone have been really welcoming and adapt the class to fit your needs as it is small so they can give you the attention you need. What I love in particular is that every class is different and there’s loads of different time options to fit your diary.
Fantastic experience: I joined CF 4 wks ago. Heard great things before I started. Felt I was part of the community from day one, and couldn’t thank enough to all the instructors for their supports, and existing members that I had pleasure meeting for their encouragements. I will continue to work hard to build confidence, become stronger mentally and physically. Excited being part of the team! Thank you all. Diana x
Thanks for leaving your review Diana. We are really pleased that you are enjoying your classes and reaping the benefits.
Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a couple of sessions during a stay in Bristol. Coaches were friendly, encouraging and very thorough. The sessions were pitched at the right level of challenge and it was clear they have fostered a great community of members.
Thanks for your review Patrick. We are glad you enjoyed your sessions.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been really enjoying my introduction to CrossFit at CrossFit Clifton. Super friendly and knowledgeable coaches, alongside supportive and inclusive members makes it a great a place to be.
Fantastic experience: I don't have an answer to the question of what is the lowest level of fitness one can reach in one's life. However, I can tell you that mine was pretty low and that CrossFit Clifton is the perfect solution to this problem. When I was out of shape and hesitant to join fitness classes with experienced individuals, I found that the environment at CrossFit Clifton was welcoming to people like me. I started three weeks ago, and I was so happy to find coaches like Jess, who are incredibly energetic, enthusiastic and always available to assist you. These kinds of people are incredibly positive for individuals like me who struggle to find motivation and happiness in the gym! Furthermore, the classes have a maximum of eight people, ensuring you are always supervised and guided through every exercise. I highly recommend CrossFit Clifton as the ideal place to start your fitness journey and achieve your goals in a supportive and positive environment.
Positive experience: CrossFit classes are amazing! But I don't really recommend having a shower there. Showers are not very clean.
Thanks for your review Carmen. I'm sorry to hear you weren't impressed with the cleanliness of the showers. We will get on to that straight away and make sure the showering facilities are kept clean and well maintained.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly experience. Was nervous about starting CrossFit but there were loads of options of exercises to allow me to get the most out of a a session! Loads of different abilities with lots of smiley faces. Couldn’t recommend it more ❤️

Fantastic experience: 18 months of Functional Fitness - Feeling fitter & stronger - thanks to great coaching & workouts tailored for seniors - thank you !
Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Clifton just over a year ago, with the goal of getting my chassis beach ready, feeling fitter and meeting some likeminded ex rugby players dreaming of the mid-30’s comeback to the 1st’s despite the 9-5, a wife and two kids. 150+ sessions and 2 CrossFit Open comps later, I can happily confirm that I’ve climbed the world ranking from the 28th percentile to the whopping heights of the 29th percentile worldwide, and shared this road to victory with some wonderful like minded individuals. Sadly, the rig is still very much “work in progress”, most likely due to my love for Guinness and Pasties, and certainly not due to the regular enjoyable sessions and consistent encouragement from the coaching team! Big up to Ty and his band of merry Oly Lifting warriors for making Wednesday the best night of my week. That social scene is second to none with regular extra-curricular activities ensuring that the Saturday morning team workouts are always done with a sore head. Rumour has it we may even be off on TOUR soon (What happens on your stays on tour though so that won’t make it to this review). In all seriousness, the sessions are great and the coaches are super helpful, taking me from struggling to string a few push ups together to my first clean & Jerks and a new deadlift PB (200kg… just saying!). Would recommend CFC 100%.
Fantastic experience: Great gym! Instructors are knowledgeable, friendly and the small class sizes ensure you're always getting plenty of attention and tips to improve your skills.
Fantastic experience: Easy booking, great customer service and the mum&baby class is excellent. Supportive, but drives you hard, and somehow the babies are mesmerised for long enough to let you finish. Jess the trainer is great!
Fantastic experience: Such a friendly and supportive community. Being new to CrossFit, I have been introduced to the concept using correct technique and professional coaching from all instructors. Thank you CrossFit Clifton. I’m addicted!
Fantastic experience: Joining Clifton crossfit was the best decision ever! Close to home, friendly environment, very experienced coaches and great for socialising and meeting people as well as keeping fit.
Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend CrossFit Clifton. The mum and baby classes have really helped me get back into exercise following the birth of my 2nd child. Thanks for showing so much kindness to all the new mums!
Fantastic experience: A brilliant gym! The coaches make you feel welcome and provide excellent coaching in small group classes. The members are pretty great too!
Fantastic experience: Would 5* recommend CrossFit Clifton. Small class sizes so coaches get to know you (shout out to Jess for trying to improve my squat) and you get to know other members (shout out to the social sec). Good range of programming and fun (sometimes themed) in house competitions.
Fantastic experience: Have loved being a CFC member and doing training I would never do on my own or at a regular gym. For years I’ve focused heavily on cardio so the classes here are really helpful in mixing up my training. The community and the team of coaches are extremely supportive and encouraging and im grateful for all the scaling options!
Fantastic experience: I was one of the first memebers when they opened. I have seen a fantastic community grow backed up with fantastic coaching. Small classes mean you get proper attention and the coaches encourage you to push yourself beyond what you thought possible. Highly recommend no matter your fitness level!
Fantastic experience: New to CrossFit and couldn't have asked for a better start. All the coaches have been supportive in teaching me through proper technique, and the overall team atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Really happy I started here!
Fantastic experience: Great community gym with highly skilled and lovely coaches. The varied training programmes allow you to build on your strengths and see real progress. Super sociable members make this a really great place to train.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend CrossFit Clifton! I’ve been going for 3 weeks on the unlimited first month deal and am absolutely loving it. The morning classes are usually quiet so you get a lot of advice/guidance from the coaches. The coaches are great and help with breaking down full movements if they are too difficult. Everyone is super friendly and I can feel myself getting stronger/fitter already!
Fantastic experience: I started CrossFit to help manage all my joint problems, and I could not be happier to have started at CrossFit Clifton. All the coaches are firstly, really lovely, and secondly, know exactly what they’re doing. They are all great at accommodating when things are harder because of my joints, or if I’m in more pain they help me scale movements. I was quite nervous about starting but people couldn’t have been friendlier. They’re even really nice about pausing my membership when I go back home for uni holidays. I would 100% recommend starting to anyone!
Fantastic experience: I have been at CrossFit Clifton for just over 6 months and love it! The coaches are excellent, super friendly and really great at ensuring you develop good form and stay safe. Fun community and really supportive atmosphere at the gym.
Fantastic experience: Excellent coaching with classes small enough to get enough individual technical advice. This gym is a great way to meet like minded people in the area and make new friends (through mutual suffering). A couple of members who are great organisers mean that there is always a social event going on too! Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I’m training in this gym since 2 years ago. It’s absolutely an amazing classroom every time. Every time the workouts are different. Small group and great coaches at Pembroke Road Fitness. They are very professional, friendly and supportive… this actually what I need. I strongly recommend to join this fitness gym if you want to feel better ……and look BELLISSIMO
Fantastic experience: Great gym - loved it here, moved from another CrossFit box and was initially hesitant but everyone (members and coaches) was really friendly from day one. Small class sizes and really decent coaching are the biggest attraction. I have no plans to leave! Good social scene too. It’s a godsend to Clifton - Thanks so much CFC!
Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Clifton in 2021, as a newbie to CrossFit, Cathie and her team made me feel very welcome. The classes are small enough so you get detailed coaching, which is super helpful. The coaches are friendly and caring, they’ve built a nice little community. Definitely the place to train in, without an intimidating presence (compared to other box’s that I experienced). Furthermore, you can benefit from HIIT Pilates classes which are simply brilliant, a Kettlebell class and YinYoga to stretch out those overworked muscles!! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: If you have no idea how CrossFit works or whether it's suitable for you, and/or if you're concerned about being among very strong and experienced people (and feeling somewhat inadequate among them), then CrossFit Clifton is the ideal place to begin! The coaches are incredibly supportive and ensure that everything is tailored to your level and needs. You'll be surrounded by very strong people for sure, but there's absolutely no judgment. They will only motivate and support you, and also cheer for you, which can be especially helpful when you find yourself finishing last in the WOD (like I always do!) :) (Bonus: you'll quickly pick up on the terminology as well!) Many thanks to Cathie and the whole coaching team for fostering such a positive environment for everyone, including newbies like me :))
Fantastic experience: I love PR Fitness Bristol, so glad this place exists in my neighborhood. My partner and I go weekly to the HIIT Pilates classes. The sessions are at a good time, we can go back to work afterwards. They're intense but a fun way to exercise. Every session they alternate moves so it never gets boring. The staff there is professional and flexible. We like that we can buy 5 sessions at once and have a fair amount of time to use them. I'd recommend PR Fitness to everyone in Clifton, looking to get an intense & quick workout close to their home.
Thanks for your review Serra. Great to hear you are enjoying your HIIT Pilates sessions.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly atmosphere, a new equipment, great coaches.
Thanks Irina, we appreciate your feedback!
Fantastic experience: PRF is great! The coaches are fun, tough, in a good way, and caring. So knowledgable and great motivators. The facilities are faultless and you come away knowing that you have got the best out of yourself. Performance based, with self motivation the key, it is a great work out and a rewarding experience all round. A pleasure to be part of their family.
Thanks for the review Kathy. Great to hear you are enjoying training with us.
Fantastic experience: Very good Crossfit gym and programming. The space is reduced compared with other places I've been but it allows a good quality coaching, you really feel looked after. Great atmosphere too and the place offers a variety of classes like weightlifting, yoga and pilates.
Thank you Lea, we are delighted that you are enjoying working out with us, long may it continue. Your feedback is very much appreciated :)
Fantastic experience: I was really excited when I found out a CrossFit gym had opened in Clifton. The coaches here are lovely and really supportive. I can already feel a good community feel between the staff and members - which I feel is something really important when jointing a gym. I love that there’s a range of class times, lots of good quality equipment and that each day the workouts are different. I also attend the YinYoga classes and am really enjoying it, having never done yoga before.
Thanks for your review Paige, great to hear that you are enjoying your sessions!
Fantastic experience: I have always loved keeping fit but I have never tried CrossFit. My friend asked me to come with her and I was very nervous to try something new. When I turned up the team were so supportive, welcoming and made me feel at ease. All the trainers have shown me so many new techniques for workouts and I enjoy that there is a different workout each time you go. I would highly recommend joining as it makes fitness fun but yet really pushes you to your limits.
Thank you for such an amazing review! We are so happy that you are feeling the benefits already! Your comments have been passed onto our team and your feedback is much appreciated.
