CrossFit® Kernow: Opinions

5/5 (25 Opinions)
Laura White 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a regular at CrossFit Kernow for a year now and I am hooked. It is so inclusive, welcoming and fun. You are accepted and genuinely part of the team regardless of your level of fitness, and safely encouraged/supported to work out to and beyond your comfort level. I definitely feel the strongest I’ve ever felt, and am excited to see what the next year brings.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Kernow is a great place to exercise! It's friendly and welcoming, and all the exercises can be adjusted to suit any level of fitness. There's classes for mums, kids, and the over-60s. I am always encouraged to push myself to improve, whilst being taught good technique and movement!

CrossFit Kernow

Thanks Katie, your kind words mean a lot! ❤️

Fantastic experience: After 25 years in a very physical job, I then spent the next ten years sat in an office at a laptop, taking no exercise, eating well, and drinking too much beer! Approaching my late 40s I knew something had to change and a friend recommended trying CrossFit. I put it off for a while thinking I should get a bit fitter before I started but there was absolutely no need. Every workout can be scaled to your ability and your fitness levels. The workouts are very varied and there is always something new to learn. The coaches are very helpful and approachable, and the community is very welcoming. I should also mention that it is extremely addictive!

Ah Cheryl, I love this! X

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym. I was fairly new to the area when I joined and had had a baby. I was desperate to get back into excercise and when I found CFK I was so pleased to find that they did mum and baby classes which was a life saver for me on maternity leave. As time has gone on I've been able to take part in the regular crossfit classes. The coaches are so good at teaching you and I've been able to do stuff at the gym that I didn't think I could do. Would recommend to anyone for all fitness levels

CrossFit Kernow

Ah Thanks Jo, I have loved watching you progress as Jemima grows x

Fantastic experience: I know the importance of exercise but don't always enjoy it and often struggle to stick with it, but CrossFit Kernow has been one of the only things where I have managed to do that. The main reason for that is how welcoming this gym is. The coaches, the members and the whole environment welcomes you in and makes you want to go and stick with it. Workouts are tailored to ANY ability so there is literally no excuse for not being able to get involved. I started as I was struggling to exercise after having a baby. I found Crossfit Mums, where you can bring your baby/child along whilst you train, with the support of the coach and other mums. I then gradually progressed to the main classes, where with the community and family approach I could fit in the workouts around my work and family. You don't have to be competitive or fit to join in, you just have to want to move. The coaches really care about your journey and help to tailor your experience depending on your ability, injury, goal or even mood that day, they always cheer you on to get the best out of you. Thanks to all the team and members and CrossFit Kernow.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed training here while visiting Looe, people were very kind and friendly. A drop in session is definitely worth it!

CrossFit Kernow

Fantastic experience: Myself and my cousin Kerry want to say a big thank you to Simon and Amy for creating such a welcoming space. We were both visiting Looe for a few days for a large family get together, but we both wanted to try and maintain some sort of fitness regime whilst here. Kerry thoroughly enjoyed attending the CrossFit class, despite having never done it before. She will be looking into it once she returns to the States, I believe! I really appreciated being able to continue my weight training whilst away from home (and that solely doing this was deemed ok, given that it is a CrossFit space.) We would recommend this gym to anybody visiting Looe. There are lots of coached classes, as well as opportunities to just go and train however you want during the “open” gym times.

James Sinfield 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My friends and I come to Looe every summer for a vacation together, we all live in different parts of the UK so never get to throwdown together, CrossFit Kernow was super welcoming to us and we all had great fun. 100% will be coming back, such good price for what you get too!

CrossFit Kernow

Thank you so much. It was lovely to meet you all, will look forward to seeing you again!
