Fantastic experience: Rick is an amazing coach and always pushes you to reach new goals. Strongest and fittest I’ve been 8 months into joining and each session is different; hard-work but rewarding (and a lot of fun!). Filled with a great community of other like-minded crossfitters who are all very supportive, hard-working and social :). Proud to be a part of this club & highly recommend coming down for a taster session!

Fantastic experience: I didn't know anything about Crossfit and I needed to get back on the fitness wagon after lockdown/moving to Crowborough, and since joining here, the coach and everyone at the gym has been very supportive and super friendly. Love the class variations too! Nearly coming up to a year since I started here and I'm so glad I made the decision to join here. Never a dull session here!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Crowborough is the best gym I've been a member of. I've been unable to workout for 2+ years due to a major sporting injury which resulted in a metal inserts into my ankle severely reducing mobility. I didn't think I would be able to do the kinds of sports I loved again but Rick has helped me get back to exercise by adapting the workouts and being incredibly encouraging and always supportive. I'm so grateful to our little growing CrossFit community. If you think you can't workout, I promise you can by coming to CrossFit Crowborough!

No matter what your level of fitness, I would recommend coming down as there is a scale for everyone. If I could give 10 stars, I would!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been using gyms for over 30 years. Crossfit Crowborough is by far the best value for money. The range of different class times work well for me and the variety offered at each session keeps me motivated. Join up and you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing CrossFit since 2017. When Rick decided to open a gym in my hometown I knew I had to join, the community side of CrossFit cannot be beaten. Come and give it a try

Fantastic experience: What a great box. Very traditional CrossFit. Rick is a top instructor and deserves credit for starting and running such a great box with very little help. We spent a week dropping in and the programming was great, owner/instructor was great and they were so welcoming to us. Really loved the vibe. Visit if you’re in town. They deserve all the success they get.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Crowborough is a fantastic fitness facility for all levels of training. The sessions are full of variety and cover a range of training styles from classic strength work and Olympic weightlifting, to cardio/ conditioning training and gymnastic skills work. As a long- time gym goer, I had got bored of my usual training style and wanted to improve some different areas of fitness. CrossFit Crowborough has helped me do just that, and my level of fitness is better than ever and I look forward to every session. Rick has created a welcoming and supportive community, and the coaches and other members all motivate each other. I would recommend to anyone of any level of fitness, as all sessions can be tailored to suit individuals training needs.

Fantastic experience: Finally I've found a gym that isn't intimidating or boring! From starting a free starter class in February this year, I was quickly hooked and instantly booked a full membership where I then became addicted - at which point Rick had to actually tell me to stop coming in six days a week! Everyone is so welcoming, supportive and friendly and I've made great friends already and love being a part of the community. The workouts are hard and sweaty, but different every single day and I love trying out new things. I thought my handstand days were over after I left school, but relearning them 25 years later is even better when you add push ups and more to it! Rick is really encouraging and pushes you to challenge yourself in the best way (no shouting involved whatsoever) and always makes it fun. You feel so proud of yourself afterwards and being able to see how far you've come and how much stronger you're getting over the weeks is great. You will never finish a workout or leave the box without a smile on your face. So glad that I've found this place and highly recommend it to anyone of any fitness level to give it a try and see for yourself.

Fantastic experience: I'd never done crossfit before but liked the idea of high intensity workouts in a group rather than going along to the gym and motivating myself. I signed up with a bundle of classes which could be used on an ad-hoc basis rather than a monthly membership as I wasn't sure how often I'd be able to attend classes. I went along to the open weekend in November 2022 and was instantly hooked. The sense of community is fab. Rick is a great coach - really encouraging and eager to help everyone enjoy their workout and learn new skills. I quickly switched to a full membership and now train 3-4 times per week. I've learnt gymnastics skills, new weightlifting skills and more. I'm actually excited to go and workout now and see improvements week on week. If you want exercise to be fun and meet great people, sign up! You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I have always struggled with building an exercise routine and then sticking to it - since joining Crowborough CrossFit this has never been an issue. Rick has created a brilliant inclusive atmosphere and a community that I feel lucky to be part of - we all support each other and never miss an opportunity to celebrate each others successes. I cannot recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: I’m new to CrossFit and it’s not like your typical gym: nobody wears headphones and there are no mirrors. We all work out together, and there is a great community spirit with everyone encouraging each other. I’ve made lots of new friends already, and learned several new skills. The Coach is friendly and helpful, and he ensures that everyone can do the exercises at whatever fitness level they are at. Highly recommended for improving all round fitness.
