CrossFit^® Choice Gym

Fantastic experience: My first session at crossfit choice after a long time having a friend trying to get to come. Finally I understand why he raves about it. The workout was amazing the trainer Paul (great name by the way) adapted the work out for all of that were different levels. After returning to a commercial gym not to long ago and seeing the lifeless way it was refreshing to the community spirit that I remember in gyms 15 plus years ago. I'll definitely be going back soon.

Fantastic experience: Had my first experience of CrossFit here and thoroughly enjoyed it! The intensity, the people, everything was spot on. I ruptured a tendon in my knee a couple of years ago and Paul took the time to adapt my workout so that I wasn’t at risk of doing any damage to it which was great! I’ll be back again with Clint for sure! Thankyou to everyone there for making me so welcome

Fantastic experience: Ive been here 18 months now and it's the best fitness decision ive made. The sense of community and the detailed coaching provided at each session have helped me reach PBs across the board.

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Choice feeling like a complete pudding, it took a lot to pluck up the courage to make the call to book in for an induction/meeting with Paul but the second i walked through the door i instantly felt at home. Paul and Karl are exceptional coaches, the training is varied, interesting and scalable for all abilities, even mine! The other members were welcoming, supportive and really encouraging which made integrating into the team easy. The 24hour access facility is so handy when you are unable to make scheduled classes, the gym has everything you need and is a perfect environment whether you are working in a team or solo. I can’t recommend CF Choice enough and if you are new to CrossFit this is the place to start your journey. Paul, Karl, Sammy and Luke are fantastic coaches.

Fantastic experience: Once sceptical about coach lead team classes, Crossfit Choice has completely changed my outlook on all aspect’s of training and personal fitness. All Choice coach's bring with them a clear wealth of experience to each class, they are supportive and ensure that every activity is catered to suit the individual along with giving clear guidance on how and where to best improve your skills. This along with the support received from the amazing team you will train with will get you through even the toughest of workouts. Weeks in I started to see and feel the difference. Now 7 months into the CrossFit experience, and at the age of 40, I feel fitter, healthier and more motivated to attend the gym than I did in my 20s & 30s. Give it a go and you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I had my first cross fit session here on Saturday just gone, Very welcoming, friendly & met some great new people. The instructor understood my fitness levels, abilities and adjusted the program to suit. I burned just short of 1000 calories in a mornings session. Would highly recommend it to anyone !! I’ll be going again.

Fantastic experience: Ive been to CrossFit choice a few times now and each time I come out feeling good about myself. The PT are great giving you enough encouragement to keep pushing even when you want to give up. If you’re looking for a something different from your normal 24 hr gym check out CrossFit choice

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend joining the group sessions. Members and coaches are extremely welcoming and the space is immaculate. All sessions are well-prepared and engaging from the beginning to the end. This is the environment where you’re always going to push your limits on the good days and on the bad days!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Choice is a brilliant space filled with all the equipment that you would need. The owner/coach really helped me out in a time of need. Really lovely atmosphere and so easy to get to. Couldn’t recommend enough

Fantastic experience: First and foremost, it's all about the people—a wonderful community where you truly feel at ease and like you belong. The coaches make a tremendous contribution to the training process, showing genuine care and enjoyment in mentoring. Going to this CrossFit gym is probably the best fitness decision I've made since arriving in Britain. If you want to get fit, you're more than welcome!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, high intensity classes . Absolutely fantastic programme! Excellent community

Fantastic experience: Been a member since the doors opened, THE best coaches..best members/friends..could not ever imagine going back to a ‘normal ’ gym…come find out for yourself!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit is such a great community! From the first class I attended, I felt so welcomed into the group and everyone is so encouraging to each other during each session. I now attend every Saturday and the coaching is like no other. You really feel valued and listened too whilst also being pushed to do your best in every work out. Everything is scaled to meet what your abilities are so it really is for everyone. I couldn’t recommend it more!

Fantastic experience: The best gym, I 100 % would recommend this gym to anyone so if you’re thinking about it come along and see why we love it so much. All of the coaches are fantastic and it’s great that every class is different I always look forward to coming to the gym

Fantastic experience: I was new to CrossFit and now love it !! I was finding it hard to settle into Portsmouth but since joining this gym have felt a lot more settled, happier and confident. In particular the instructors, Paul, Karl and Sam’s enthusiasm and energy made me want to rock up and say hi even on the days it was hard to be motivated to workout. This gym really is something great.

Fantastic experience: For years I was spending money on commercial gyms and just rocking up lifting some weights and following apps, since joining CrossFit Choice I wish I didn't waste time, effort and money! The coaches at this gym are so knowledgeable, approachable, supportive and friendly, there is no stupid question to ask. The entire community is warming, welcoming and so encouraging, made friends for life and would never look back! Without this gym I would be lost! Don't waste anymore time worrying about if you would fit in! Cause you will... do it

Fantastic experience: To anyone thinking of joining no matter what your fitness level I cannot recommend this gym enough. Paul and Karl are top quality coaches and have done such a fantastic job with the gym and creating such a fun welcoming community. Since joining I not only seen big progress in my fitness and strength but made genuine life long friends along the way. It has been such a pleasure, never a chore, I look forward to attending each session every time along with the many fun social events and team gatherings in between. Thank you both so much for the endless support, coaching, motivation, laughs and fun memories - here’s to loads more to come. Thank you. El

Fantastic experience: 24hr access, great coaches and welcoming members....what more do you need? Karl and Paul have nailed it, if you're on the South Coast, this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: Having only been going a month, there's nothing more I could have asked for from the team (so far). If you want to be challenged to make gains on your fitness, this is the place.

Fantastic experience: Great studio gym, coaches really friendly. Dropped in for a week over Christmas whilst visiting family, paid a reasonable price and got 24 hour access! Highly reccomend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve joined other gyms over the years, but quickly lost self-motivation and hated classes and working out not quite knowing what I was doing! I was recommended CrossFit Choice by a friend who promised I’d be joining a genuine community of friendly faces, with mixed abilities and professional coaches who guide and encourage you personally. Well, I’m pleased to say I signed up and 8 months later, my buddy was absolutely spot on. I honestly look forward to every group class (the workout is different every day), I know everyone’s name and we always have a laugh even with the more gruelling workouts! I like the 6am classes, but there’s also evening classes. My 10yr old goes to the weekly Tuesday 5pm kids class - the coaches make sure these sessions are fun as well as teaching the kids correct workout techniques. If you’re looking to change up your current gym routine or want to start your fitness journey with a lovely bunch of non-judgy, enthusiastic fellow-gymers and pro coaches, I’d highly recommend CrossFit Choice. Go on, sign up and join our awesome gym community in 2024 ️‍♀️

Fantastic experience: I recently moved down to Portsmouth and have been doing crossfit for a couple of years so was looking to join a new box, after my first drop in at Crossfit Choice I knew this was the place for me and didn’t hesitate to join straight away. All the coaches are great, really knowledgeable, experienced and motivating. The community is one of the most welcoming I have been to, everyone with a range ability and experience in Crossfit all create the most positive, friendly and encouraging atmospheres to train in. Highly recommend to anyone who is starting their crossfit journey or who is looking for a new box to join!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to CrossFit since August and not only has my physical health improved but my mental health as well. The trainers are very experienced at teaching you everything and how to properly do exercises so you can go as a complete novice and see results quite quickly. I was surprised at how fast my body started to change. The community is fantastic too so sessions definitely have a social element as well. Also when you break down the price of a monthly membership I pay on average £4.80 for the hourly session. I would encourage anyone looking to get fitter and happier to give it a go!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend crossfit choice for anyone looking to start there fitness careers the coaches are really helpful and nice make you feel comfortable in the sessions

Fantastic experience: Very smart gym, with great indepth coaching and a good community to train with

Fantastic experience: The best place to train in Portsmouth. Excellent coaching and an even better buzz about the gym. The community they have built made it easy for someone like myself dropping in to train and feeling welcome. Awesome from the Team!

Fantastic experience: We are very fortunate to have such an incredible facility in Portsmouth! The combination of knowledgable coaches, a well equipped gym and conscientious programming has helped me make improvements across all aspects of my training. The friendly fun environment Paul, Karl and Luke create in the classes makes going to the gym enjoyable (even if there is burpees!) Every class is full of like minded people, no one takes themselves seriously and everyone is there with the same purpose. All egos are left at the door and we put in the work! I regularly attend the 6am classes and they always set me up for the day. I believe If you do something challenging and hard first thing in the morning then you feel ready for whatever the day may throw at you. Thank you Karl, Paul, Luke and members for building the foundations towards a confident, happy and healthy lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: I moved to Portsmouth at the start of the year and spent a lot of time looking into gyms… i wanted somewhere with; - professional coaching - friendly approachable coaches - structured programming for all abilities - modern equipment - healthy competition - varied classes - depth of knowledge and understanding of sports injuries and rehabilitation - friendly environment - no judgement - no big egos CrossFit Choice has ticked all of the above! If you’re looking for a gym but apprehensive for any reason at all, I can honestly say CrossFit Choice will instantly make you feel welcome, be genuinely interested in your goals and will get you where you want to be! Highly Recommend! *****

Fantastic experience: **THERE IS NO BETTER GYM** After trying various other gyms in the region I finally settled on this one. Friendly, focused and functional. Led by coaches who have a depth of experience and knowledge to match my needs. If it be a personal call or a group discussion my progress is always monitored. I have never felt so fit and confident in myself. I now move well, often and with purpose. Simply superb

Fantastic experience: Amazing!! Joined the gym and the guys around 4 weeks ago and am absolutely loving it! Extremely well equipped, super friendly team and the coaches are exceptional. Felt at home straight away and now feel part of the team. The results I’m seeing and feeling already are great and I’m now hooked! Would recommend this place to anyone! 10/10

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit choice as a complete newbie in terrible shape. At first the thought of joining a CrossFit gym was quite nerve wracking but any fear I had went away after my first session. The environment, coaches and group of genuinely lovely people made it so much fun. The coaching during the class was great and really supportive. You will be well looked after here. My only regret is not joining sooner.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at CrossFit Choice for over 9 months and highly recommend it for anyone looking to improve their health and fitness! The standard of coaching, classes and programming is exceptional and the team tailors the classes to all abilities. In my time there I have massively increased my strength, cardiovascular fitness and mobility due to the varied and carefully crafted classes. Outside of the gym, there is a close knit, social community who look out for each other and make training even more fun.

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing gym, with an even better atmosphere! The coaches are so supportive and patient, whether you're a CrossFit professional or a beginner like myself you don't feel out of place! The classes are well mixed, fresh and never overcrowded with a total mixture of people who attend. All the other members are such an amazing bunch of people, I'd recommend this gym to anyone!! Thanks Paul & Karl

Fantastic experience: After years of very little confidence when it came to fitness, doing random workouts with 0 results and very little mental challenges - 4 weeks into CrossFit choice and for the first time ever, I look forward to exercising. Every session is something new and challenging and everytime I leave feeling as if I have achieved something. 10/10 people, amazing encouragement from everyone, banging music, amazing coaches and coach Paul is the greatest rapper in town ✌ The best decision I made all year was joining CrossFitChoice!

Fantastic experience: Joined mid April, really knowledgeable coaches who tailor the training to each class attendee. I am fitter than I have been for a long time and have lost weight which were my goals. I am enjoying going & have never been to a better, friendlier or more supportive gym than this before. 5* is not enough.

Fantastic experience: Have been a client of Paul's now since 2020, in that time he has prepped me for numerous ultra marathons and other long distance runs. The training has always been exactly what I've needed and with the Gym, i have a friendly place to train when I am in the area that has everything I need. Fortitude gets my highest recommendation.

Fantastic experience: From the offset, FSC have provided me (mobility issues) with continued support via programming, drop-in classes, excellent equipment and a very much inclusive environment to get me where I wanted to be, both physically and mentally. If you’re reading this and are apprehensive about getting involved, like I was..don’t be, just go for it, you’ll thank yourself in a week/month/year later.

Fantastic experience: I joined Fortitude exactly 1 year ago and if you had told me then the things i will do and have done I probably would have laughed and said not a chance! My confidence has grown, my mindset has changed and my overall outlook is much more positive. The coaches make you feel comfortable whilst pushing you to your absolute limit, the encouragement from them and the community they have created is reason enough to keep going back! I feel totally looked after and monitored each session and am totally called out to step outside of my comfort zone! Thanks to Paul and Karl for the continuous encouragement and support!

Fantastic experience: Having trained alone at numerous commercial gyms, and after being a bespoke client of Paul's during lockdown, I joined FSC when the gyms reopened. Paul and Karl are extremely knowledgeable and experienced in their fields and have provided me with numerous tweaks to improve my form/engine and overall accountability. The group PT classes keep me honest and everyone works towards thier own goals. The structured training cycles have helped me to achieve my goal of a sub 4:30 marathon, something out of reach to me previously. Keep up the great work guys!

Fantastic experience: I was new to CrossFit, but once knowing a few members I started to feel welcomed and a part of their ‘family’. Thank you to Karl & Paul for helping me to be the happiest, healthiest and fittest version of myself – I have met some of the most amazing people, made so many memories and feel so positive and ready to attack everything that life is going to throw at me!

Fantastic experience: I have trained at various gyms & CrossFit boxes over the years but fortitude has been the best of the bunch. The coaches are always enthusiastic & thorough in their teaching & encouragement throughout each class. They are approachable & offer advice all the time whether it be fitness or nutrition. The equipment in the gym is in excellent condition with additional space for accessory work & a lounge & kitchen for chilling before/after class. I have never been stronger & my engine is improving all the time. I have been using a bespoke programme for a few months now & I can really tell the difference. Couldn’t recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: FSC is an exceptional gym, I have been training for years and was a little nervous about starting a new gym, however the staff Paul and Karl are extremely friendly and accommodating, which made the whole experience so much easier and better. Awesome trainers, who are so helpful! One session and I was hooked! A must for any new people approaching the gym environment or old timers like myself! Thanks guys, so grateful

Fantastic experience: Top class coaching and facilities I was working down in Portsmouth for 6 weeks and decided to book in to FSC one day to have a workout, that one session got me hooked and I ended up signing up for the whole 6 weeks! The facilities are fantastic and the coaching is second to none! During that time I increased my lifting numbers, my endurance improved, I was more efficient in my movements and was thoroughly educated on effective programming. The community itself is incredible and after only a few weeks I have gained new mates for life. Looking forward to visiting again when I am next down south.

Fantastic experience: Some of the best coaches around, great facilities and a great community. Spent about two years working with Paul (online coaching) and got me to the best fitness ive had in many years. The community spirit is great even for someone remote I've connected with others through the cross fit challenges. Strongly recommend FSC for anyone looking to join a gym, community or online programming.

Fantastic experience: Fortitude is by far the best CrossFit box I’ve been to. I’ve been lucky enough to experience several around the world. The level of coaching is outstanding, the team are not only exceptionally qualified, they are also super supportive and welcoming. I was super anxious when I joined and lacking in confidence, the team have empowered me to grow both in and out of the gym. The community vibe adds to the experience truly making you feel at home the minute you step through the door. No matter what your experience or level of fitness this is a lifestyle choice worth investing in. Thank you Team Fortitude

Fantastic experience: I first started training with FSC online during lockdown before joining them in person once they opened. It has been by far the best gym experience I've had. Their coaching expertise is superb; I have made so much progress across all aspects of my training but my favourite thing has to be the community Karl and Paul have built. I've made friends for life and I can't thank the coaches enough for how much they've improved my confidence.

Fantastic experience: If you are a newbie to training or a seasoned athlete, I highly recommend FSC. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, experienced and genuinely care about their members. They have built an amazing community with members regularly socializing in and outside of the gym. I started online during lockdown and switched to bespoke programming to improve some personal weaknesses (which improved dramatically). I now combine classes with additional bespoke programming and I look forward to every session! You will struggle to find better coaches on the South Coast. Paul & Karl are the best!!
