Thanks so much for the great review, James. We're thrilled you enjoyed the workout and our environment and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going for just over a year, and it’s the first time I’ve ever stuck with a gym routine for more than a few months. I’ve learned so many new skills and feel the fittest I’ve been as an adult. The flexible class times make it easy to train around work and kids, and the coaches are fantastic at helping with progressions and managing any existing injuries. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

It's great that our flexible class times and supportive coaches have made a positive impact on your fitness journey. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to continuing to support you in reaching your health and fitness goals!
Fantastic experience: Laura is really good at pushing me to lift heavier weights by carefully observing my form and encouraging me to add just the right amount of weight each time. I love working in a small group at CrossFit Volentia because it creates a focused, supportive energy where everyone is motivated and you actually feel noticed. The atmosphere makes it easier to push myself without feeling overwhelmed, and finishing each session leaves me feeling strong and proud of what I accomplished.

It's fantastic to know that you feel both supported and motivated during your sessions.

Fantastic experience: Every coach here is absolutely amazing, and each of them brings a unique approach to training! The variety is incredible, and it allows you to learn different techniques. What I appreciate the most is that every coach takes the time to explain each exercise in detail, which is extremely helpful for someone like me who started with zero knowledge.

Fantastic experience: I started 'she lifts' today with Vicky and Nick, met a lovely small group of ladies who will be my support over the next 8 weeks! I felt supported, confident, and it was a very enjoyable session. Looking forward to the next one!
We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with Vicky and Nick at 'she lifts'! It's wonderful to know that you've already connected with a supportive group. We can’t wait to see you at the next session and help you continue your journey! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Fantastic experience: CrossFit Volentia is an incredible place to train! The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and push you to be your best while ensuring proper form and technique. The community here is amazing—so welcoming and motivating, which makes every workout even more enjoyable. The programming is challenging yet rewarding, and I’ve seen real progress since joining. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced in CrossFit, this gym has something for everyone. Highly recommend!
Thanks for your review Simi, it's been awesome watching your progress since you joined us. Particularly love the fact that you've taken the fitness you've developed at Volentia and you're now using that for other areas of fitness. Keep up the efforts and we'll see you hitting some pull ups and toes to bar soon!!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic CrossFit gym with a great atmosphere! The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and always push you to improve. The community is super welcoming, whether you're a beginner or experienced. Workouts are challenging but fun, and the facility is top-notch. Highly recommend if you're looking to get fitter and stronger!
Fantastic experience: I wanted to join a CrossFit gym for a few years but put it off due to feeling like I’d struggle compared to everyone else, and may look out of place. I joined this gym 10 months ago and I can honestly say it’s nothing like what I expected. It’s an amazing group of people, all on different levels, all just working towards being healthier and stronger, both physically and mentally. The trainers are amazing and show you all movements in detail, providing scaled options for each movement, helping you build up over time. There’s a real family vibe, nothing like other large corporations, where in all honesty you don’t even get a hello when you walk through the door. I mean what gym do you see that lets your kids support you and the occasional dog too . If like me you’ve been put off by the stereotype of what a CrossFit athlete is, then please don’t worry, it’s nothing like what you think, just give it a go. I only wish I’d joined sooner.
Thanks so much for your review Fielding, it really does mean that others who had similar thoughts might come and join us.
We're so glad you're enjoying the sessions. As one of our 6:30 crew it adds the extra challenge of getting up extra early for a workout but you're seeing the results of being consistent with your training.
Fantastic experience: I joined the gym just about a month ago, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far! From day one, the team has been absolutely amazing—both the coaches and the members create such a welcoming and supportive environment. I remember feeling quite anxious before my first open class, but that feeling quickly disappeared thanks to the incredible people here. Everyone was so kind, encouraging, and helpful, which made the experience so much more enjoyable. Every class is a new challenge, and I’m loving the journey of learning and improving. If you’re thinking about joining, don’t hesitate—this is a fantastic community that makes every workout worthwhile!
Thanks for you review Paulina. It's been great having you in our classes and seeing how you're getting on so far I'm sure you'll continue to make progress in the future.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant coaches. Great community. If they can get this inflexible 47-year-old to do a handstand push-up, then anything is possible.
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, with great coaches! Really enjoy attending the classes, they’re so varied. My fitness and weightlifting skills have really improved since joining. The other members are really friendly too!

Fantastic experience: Great CrossFit box in Rugby - really supportive and knowledgable coaches, incredibly flexible and great community to be a part of. Have helped me get back on track with all of my health, fitness and goals as a masters swimmer. Don’t think twice - get in touch!!!

Thank you Ahmed! We’re so happy that you’re enjoying your training with us, it’s great to have you as part of our Volentia team and watching you develop and practice new skills has been amazing!
Fantastic experience: This CrossFit gym is fantastic for getting back on track with your fitness goals. It offers a welcoming environment with a strong team spirit in training. The coaches provide excellent advice on reaching your goals without overexerting yourself. Beyond just fitness, CrossFit here offers a diverse workout experience and a vibrant social atmosphere to enjoy. Highly recommended! Update for 2025: Just completed my second CrossFit Games interbox competition, which really highlights what makes working out at this box so special. The competition was challenging but I felt fully supported by both my team and coaches throughout. The atmosphere is the perfect balance of serious training and fun social interaction - plus there was cake! What more could you want? This place continues to exceed my expectations year after year.
Thank you for your review Alex!
We’re so glad you enjoy being part of our team here at Volentia!
Fantastic experience: I began my Crossfit journey at Volentia in January 2024 and they couldn't have been more welcoming. I was quite anxious as I have never done anything like it before, however that anxiety disappeared as soon as I stepped through the door and experienced how friendly everyone is and how patiently they explain things! Loving it so far! Update for 2025 - still loving the family feel, expertise and fun workouts. Couldn't recommend enough. Also there aren't many gyms you can rock up with a Cape on and not look like a lunatic!
Thank you Laura! We’re so glad you joined us and that you are enjoying being part of Volentia!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the world. Amazing coaches and a brilliant atmosphere. Never been fitter or happier and it’s thanks to Volentia!
Thank you Josh! Well done to you for all the hard work you put in to your training!
Fantastic experience: CrossFit Volentia is not just a gym—it’s an adventure. One moment, you’re casually stretching, and the next, you’re deadlifting like you’re training for the Strongman for a Christmas Special. The workouts are challenging but weirdly addictive. In one class, I found myself doing something called a "power snatch," which I’m still not entirely sure is legal. The coaches are fantastic—somehow both encouraging and slightly terrifying in the best way. They’ll push you to work hard, but they also encourage you when you survive. The best part? The people. It’s like a sweaty, supportive family where everyone is equally out of breath but still cheering you on. If you’re looking for a place to get stronger, make friends, and maybe learn what a “WOD” is, CrossFit Volentia is the place to be. Just remember to hydrate—you’re gonna need it!
Fantastic experience: Great supportive environment for all levels of fitness. You have the opportunity to build on skill and strength at your own pace with great coaching.
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, brilliant coaches and a genuinely friendly atmosphere. CrossFit Volentia ends up being a home away from home!
Fantastic experience: A great place to go if you want to try move a bit more and get fitter or if you want to see real progress. Coaches are great and knowledge and the community is super friendly and helpful. Pop in you won't regret it
Fantastic experience: Never thought I would actually enjoy working out... but Crossfit Volenta has changed that i now really enjoy it. Great atmosphere & great coaches I would highly recommend it
Fantastic experience: CrossFit as a training method brands itself as all inclusive, CrossFit Volentia certainly embodies this!! Irrespective of age, gender, physical ability or fitness levels, the programming and class structure has something for everyone. The environment and culture which has been built by Nicola, Nick, the coaches and the members makes you feel like you are working out with friends in every class. The coaches are all highly skilled and invested in the progress of every member. If you are thinking of trying CrossFit or an experienced practitioner, you’ll get a great workout with good people
That’s for your review Rob!
Fantastic experience: Welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Great coaching by the coaches. I’ll go again for sure when I visit Rugby.
Thanks for your review Silina! It was great to have you and you’re welcome to come and visit again anytime!
Fantastic experience: Love Volentia! I was really unsure about joining a CrossFit box at first, but I’m so glad I let my husband persuade me to try it out. The coaches meet you at your level, with scaling options so everyone can do a version of the workout - whether you’ve never done any CrossFit before (when I joined), been doing CrossFit for a couple of years and looking to improve (me earlier this year), heavily pregnant and just wanting to keep moving (me now!) or even a 60+ man wanting to get active again (my dad). Always a good atmosphere and sense of community in classes. Really rate the coaches, especially Nick - he’s always friendly and willing to give you pointers and tips in every class, regardless of your skill level/scaling. Can’t say enough great things about CrossFit Volentia!
Ami, thank you so much for your review! We’re so glad that we were able to help you in classes, through your pregnancy and now that you’ve had your baby, support you getting back into classes too! It’s also been great to have your dad in our Legends. Classes! A real family affair!
Fantastic experience: I’ve never been a fan of commercial gyms and wasn’t sure what to expect from CrossFit Volentia. But it has genuinely been a game changer for my fitness!
