CrossFit® Bury - The Hive: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and coaches. Everyone is lovely and welcoming. Small class sizes, so great learning environment. Did a month at a big CrossFit gym before joining CF Bury, much more personal coaching, interaction and community.
Fantastic experience: I love coming to CrossFit Bury. The classes are really varied and the coaches are great. The sessions are all really personalised as there is a cap of 8 people per class so I feel I’ve improved so much over the last 10 months that I’ve been coming.
Fantastic experience: The coaches are amazing, 2 years in I am the fittest I have ever been, and I have made more friends in 2 years than the 20 I spent in standard gyms
Fantastic experience: Crossfit Bury is awesome, our coach is extremely talented and committed to getting the best out of everyone. Our community is welcoming and supportive. 18 months in and I cant imagine life without it. 5 star rating still applies ***** I’ve been coming to the Hive/CFB for almost 5 years. It’s a huge part of my life and has been such a positive influence in so many aspects. I’ve made life long friends there and my husband also attends with me every morning. We have so much fun and find every session rewarding. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6.5 years and counting! I was supported to train throughout my entire pregnancy… working out until the end of my 38th week. The coaches enabled me to workout no matter what was programmed. They scaled or adapted it so I could train. This played a huge role in my wonderful and happy Pregnancy. Back at the Box when I was 10 weeks postpartum. Again, the coaches helped me get back into the groove. Adapting and scaling the workout so I could move. The coaches are brilliant, the people are fantastic and I cannot imagine my life without this place. Best decision I ever made was to walk through its door!
You're simply awesome Susie! Keep working hard and bringing your positivity to every single session. If Carlsberg made gym members....

Thanks Dave. We love having you part of the gym family! You always give your best and are such an exemplary member. Keep working hard :)
Fantastic experience: Just started CrossFit in the last couple of weeks and what a great place it is training at The Hive. Everyone is really welcoming and help you along the way. I have currently had 5 sessions and can’t wait for my next session. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!
Thanks Chris. We can't wait to watch your progress over the next few months! Enjoy the journey :)
Fantastic experience: Super fun classes and very good environment. Made huge progress in the months I have been training there. Definitely would recommend if you are after a challenging workout.
Hi Aaron, thanks for your review. Hopefully after training with us for several months now we've been able to earn that extra star from you :) keep working hard man! Crushing it
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love The Hive! Amazing coaching, people & equipment. A very welcoming gym environment for all body types. Couldn’t recommend enough :)
Thanks James! Mornings wouldn't be the same without you part of the classes. Keep working hard
Fantastic experience: I have been working out since I was a teenager and been at various gym but the Hive is the place I really feel happy and I belong to! The members are all very friendly and Frenchi, the coach, is great :) He has a great knowledge and experience and his WODS are fun and an exciting challenge. I highly recommend The Hive
Thanks Milena for recommending us :) We absolutely love having you as part of the gym and are so happy you feel part of the community. Keep working hard and smashing your fitness goals
Fantastic experience: A fantastic place. Run by a hard-working and friendly couple who are really committed to providing a top class fitness service. Don't be put off by the name. Crossfit is genuinely for EVERYONE regardless of starting fitness levels. *New post* Still coming!! Approaching 6 years of membership and still not bored!! Seen some amazing transformations in that time. Friendly group of people who are all keen to get fit and have fun.
Thanks Sarah - the OG CrossFit Bury gal! Keep grafting hard as you always do
Fantastic experience: If you like to play sports, sweat and have a good time, without a doubt, this is your box. Frenchie (coach) and all colleagues have managed to create a family, and they make you feel like one of them from day one. Many hours and different workouts depending on what you are looking for. Try it. You won't regret it!!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place, I have been to many gyms in the past but never 1 like the hive. I love how everyone is welcoming and friendly. Suitable for all abilities. Coach Frenchi is awesome very professional…. Great atmosphere… 10/10
Thanks Bernie! It's a pleasure to coach you and have you part of our committed morning crew. Keep striving for those PRs!
Fantastic experience: I joined The Hive around 2 years ago now, having previously used 'regular gyms' and wanting something more sociable and motivating. You'll never leave a workout feeling you've not left it all on the floor! It's a really welcoming and positive environment for all levels of fitness, with a supportive, community atmosphere. Genuinely all are welcome and it's an eclectic mix. The classes are generally a max of 8 people, so you get plenty of time for quality coaching from Frenchi who genuinely cares for his customers' health, fitness and general enjoyment. Always positive, he knows his stuff and knows exactly when to push you harder, focus on technique or scale things back a little. The fitness is measurable through the boxmate app where you can track your scores and weights to see your own progress. But also, it's functional and has real world benefits, meaning you will reap the benefits of exercise in everyday life. I have found this through my working life wherein I am required to maintain good physical health and fitness as an emergency service worker, but also in my home life, doing physical DIY work etc. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I have been at CFBTH now since 2017 with a break due to covid and living in another country for a year. I have been back since January 22 and at first I felt strange because a lot has changed. I’m glad I stayed and followed Frenchie’s new training program,which consists of Strength and conditioning,Metcon and good old fashioned CF workouts. My physical appearance and my strength have massively improved in a very short time. I train 5/6 days a week. The classes are great because they are small so you don’t get lost at the back of the class. Frenchie is great at coaching the fundamentals of CF he will take his time with you, if you need it. It’s definitely worth coming down and see what it all about. The members will be very welcoming and friendly.
Thanks Alicia for your honesty and trusting us. Your worth ethic is second to none. Keep chasing those PRs and working towards your goals. Looking forward to continuing to help you on the way!
Fantastic experience: If you’re serious about actually getting fit then The Hive - Crossfit Bury is the place to come. It’s pre-programmed fitness classes that are designed like a personal training session but in small groups. There’s no mirrors or look at me attitude from members. Everyone is in it together, supporting each other and enjoying getting fit and healthy. Frenchi is a great coach. He’s approachable, knowledgable and friendly. The classes are varied. Put the work in and you won’t regret it. I’m in my mid 40’s and I’ve not been this fit since I was in the army aged 20. A great place to train.
Thanks Mike for your review. It's great to have you part of our CrossFit community and be able to coach you. An absolute star member who always gives their all
Fantastic experience: I have been attending the hive crossfit for just over 2 years, its brilliant! When lockdown hit and everyones life changed I started working out on the zoom classes replacing my previous normal pure gym routine. Its so much better and even more so since returning to the box itself. Its different every day, challenging but also you do it at a pace that is suitable for you, everyone is welcome no matter how fit or unfit you are which i think is one of the main things i love about it. Zero egos which is unusual in a gym! I always thought I preferred to work out on my own but having done this now i dont ever see myself going back. Give it a try, you will probably love it
Thanks Steve. So glad we managed to change your mind about CrossFit :) Keep working hard
Fantastic experience: Joined CrossFit Bury this month and have been to 3 sessions so far. Everything is fantastic: the coaches, the programming, the other members and the vibe. I genuinely feel myself getting fitter and stronger after one week.
Fantastic experience: I joined The Hive in January at the start of this year and has been hands down the best thing I've ever done for my fitness! There's plenty of different classes so the workouts are varied, challenging but always great fun. Everyone at the gym has been friendly and encouraging, and due to there being max 8 people per class, means you get plenty of great 1-on-1 time coaching with Frenchi Would absolutely recommend anyone to come down and get involved!
Thanks Adam! So glad you decided to join us. Keep smashing those workouts and reaping the benefits of your hard work
Fantastic experience: I've been going to the Hive CrossFit for nearly nine months and absolutely love it. The classes and coaching are great. Coach Frenchi is enthusiastic and professional, a terrific motivator who knows when to push you more. The people are all so friendly, and the atmosphere is extremely welcoming. I would recommend this box to anyone.
Thank you Lukasz! Keep grafting hard and earning your gains. You have made fantastic progress and your work ethic is smashing
Fantastic experience: Fantastic little gym with a friendly, welcoming and supportive atmosphere - regardless of age, gender, ability and fitness levels. Frenchi is a superb and patient coach as well as being a top guy! Putting on varied sessions and taking time to explain and demonstrate each exercise. He provides ongoing guidance and encouragement during the workouts to ensure technique is correct and suggests alternative complementary exercises if appropriate. I've been going for 9 months and noticed significant improvements in my fitness levels, techniques and even my ageing physique.
Fantastic experience: The Hive is such a fantastic gym. Frenchie is an amazing coach who helps and supports you through every session. I've met so many lovely members at the hive that made me feel part of the team since the day I started. I can't rate the gym enough.
Fantastic experience: Great coaches. Really good atmosphere. Very challenging wods!
Fantastic experience: Good experience
Fantastic experience: Great sessions, great gym, great coaches, great people. The classes are small so you get the help to correct your technique which gets you the best results from your work out.
Fantastic experience: This place is unbelievable! It was a gym when I first started .. now it's a hobby ! I look forward to every session I have, coaches are brilliant and the equipment is brilliant .. 100% recommended.. you wont find a better gym .. Guaranteed
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love going to CrossFit bury great place to go with great coaches and great members highly recommend CrossFit bury to anyone definitely give it a go
Fantastic experience: CrossFit bury has helped me to improve my fitness levels and gain strength. It’s small groups mean you get, almost, 1 to 1 coaching. Everyone there is friendly and encouraging. I would highly recommend giving it a go, you won’t regret it
Fantastic experience: It's a cool little box can be tricky to find the first time. It's not the biggest of boxes that I've been to but can still get a good workout. Review edit : Having been going there for about 2 months, it's a great box, instructors very knowledgeable and equipment is well maintained. Weather dependent there is an external area that is used for Crossfit sessions. Bus stop 10 minutes down the road or on site parking. Cracking box for a cracking workout
Hi Don thanks for taking the time to review us. We’d love to know what we could’ve done to make it a 5 star review! Please let us know as we constantly strive to deliver first class training and coaching. Thanks CF Bury
Fantastic experience: Superb gym with small classes so you get great training advice and support. Wonderful community of people and super friendly. All abilities catered for and everyone is welcoming and non-judgemental. I have learnt so much about correct technique and improved my fitness levels ten fold. Great coaches! Worth every penny.
Fantastic experience: I was very nervous during my first few workouts but was welcomed with open arms and made to feel at ease. A great box where the coach and members encourage you to give it your all and be the best you can be (no matter what level you are at in your fitness journey). I can’t imagine training anywhere else now!
Thanks Leilah for your high praise! It is a pleasure to train you - we're lucky to have you. Keep at it in 2019
Fantastic experience: Amazing facilities at CrossFit Bury. Welcoming atmosphere and an awesome coach. Frenchi is brilliant. He spends time with us and encourages everyone to reach their full potential by making us work hard but at the same time having fun and being part of his CrossFit family. Definitely highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Small group training, expert coaching, with a friendly and supportive community. I was sick of going to faceless gyms and paying a fortune for one PT session a week (and not getting anywhere) so I made the decision to commit to CrossFit Bury and I’m SO glad I did. Classes are always kept small so the coaches can focus on everyone’s development and goals. I’ve made more progress here than I ever did with a PT and a gym membership. Can’t recommend this place, and the coaches, enough.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, fantastic coaches and an amazing Crossfit community I joined 3 years ago and I’ve never looked back I’m 49 and I’m the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been. It truly is an inclusive gym and new members are always made to feel really welcome. So if you’re thinking of joining a gym get booked in for a taster session ASAP you won’t regret it!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to CrossFit Bury for around 6months and I absolutely love it. The coaches are amazing and really take the time to look at technique and build your confidence. I had a fundamentals training session with Frenchie when I first joined and it was a great way to introduce the skills and get used to the movements. The coaches are always there to support you, they make the sessions fun and they really push you to do your best. Not only do I feel fitter, stronger and healthier but I have the best time training!
Fantastic experience: My husband persuaded me to give CrossFit for a couple of months... two years later we’re both still members are love it! The coaches at CrossFit Bury are fantastic and really support you to push yourself and your limits. The community at CrossFit Bury is fantastic and we’ve made some great friends there. Would recommend to anyone
Fantastic experience: I've gotten fitter, feel better and made new friends. What more could you want?
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming for nearly 2 years and actually look forward to the sessions - it really is addictive. The community is super friendly and supportive with people of every age and shape.
Thanks Kate for your honest review and commitment over the last 2 years! Your dedication and drive is a real example.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant business. Well run classes & it’s perfectly balanced in between having a a full time PT and gym membership. The culture and community is second to none.
It's a pleasure to have you along for the ride!
Fantastic experience: Signed up Jan 2019 after training for years on my own and looking for something else to keep me interested in excercise. After some research found cfb was just around the corner and had been on the fence for some time about crossfit so decided to give it a go and have never looked back since. From the first fundamentals 1 on 1 class with Frenchi to make sure that you movement and form is right so don't hurt yourself once reach the classes (mine wasn't either a few bad habits picked up over the years) everyrhing was pointed out and ways to correct the imbalances were put to me. Once attended the first full wod with new school nerves I never looked back I was hooked. Yes it can be frustrating, yes it is hard and yes it's very very sweaty. But that said what in life is worth having if it comes easy. 6 months or so in and I am still learning still developing and still getting stronger and challenging myself in ways never thought would at start of the year. The coach is amazing and everything is done to get the best out of you but safely (he sees everything to so no cheat reps ) there is a real community with everyone that goes there and been made to feel welcome and part of that group from day one could not recommend cfb any more than I do for anyone looking for a new challenge or even just start g out on their journey Into fitness.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to CrossFit Bury for over 2 years now and and I’ve never stuck with a sport for that amount of time before. It just goes to show that the constantly evolving workouts keep you interested in remaining fit and healthy. There are all different levels of fitness at the box and everyone supports one another due to the family type environment the box owners encourage. I’ve learnt so much about fitness and weightlifting techniques, more importantly correct form! Definitely worth giving a go!!!
Fantastic experience: CrossFit Bury is a fantastic place to train. As a personal trainer myself, I wanted to be able to go somewhere where I could learn new skills (olympic lifting), not have to think about the programming (I love that someone else has planned the session for me) and be coached and motivated. This great box provides all of this plus an amazing community atmosphere where everyone looks after each other and works together as a team. Sometimes people perceive CrossFit as something which is for people who are already 'fit' or 'strong' or that it's really hard. It's certainly challenging but Frenchie ensures the workout is the right level of challenge for everyone no matter what his/her starting ability. If you're on the fence about giving it a go, just jump in, you won't regret it!
Fantastic experience: I have been training with Crossfit Bury for nearly 5 weeks now. The owners/trainers are very friendly, welcoming and encouraging which was important to me. I have tried many different discplines/sports but this for me is the best workout out there. Its functional and really fun. Its mixed up all the time so you do not get bored. Fantastic atmosphere. You only have to look at the conditioning of some of the people training in this box to understand the effort and commitment the owners/trainers have put into the place. A great box. Not much else to say!
Thanks Hughie Delighted to hear that you’re enjoying your training so much and have found somewhere you enjoy working out. Keep up the great work
Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit place in manchester
Thanks Gary!
Fantastic experience: ... Great little gym, Frenchy is a legend and very knowledgeable. Got me within an inch of my first ring muscle up in ten minutes of instruction!
Hi Nick, it was great to welcome you at the box! Come and WOD with us again next time you're in the UK
Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for a few months now. Never exercised in my life, well not since school. I had some idea of what to expect because my wife comes here 5 times a week. She loves it and I love it too. It’s a proper nice environment and you are surrounded by friends you make on the way. Thanks Frenchi and Aimee.
Thanks for the review Martin - you and Tasha are a pleasure to coach! Keep up the hard work
Fantastic experience: Great little box. Super friendly owners. Best of luck with it.
Fantastic experience: Excellent workouts and a friendly community of supportive people.
Fantastic experience: I joined Crossfit Bury after my free taster session. The first session was hard but so enjoyable. I have joined a gym and been to classes in the past but have always given up after a few weeks because I felt like I was going it alone. It's the total opposite at Crossfit Bury. Firstly, it is VERY different to anything I have done before but that's what keeps it interesting and enjoyable for me. I laugh to myself when I lifting weights. Secondly, I am not alone. Everyone is at different levels, everyone is learning all the time and you feel part of a team. I am still going aswell - I will not give up and it's so good that I don't feel like giving up. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It's fun and gets you fit. It helps that the owners are great too!
