179 CrossFit®: Opinions
Fantastic experience: A brilliant gym, with a huge amount of space, well maintained and very clean. I dropped in with some friends for Open Gym on a Saturday morning and they were very welcoming and accommodating of our training- kindly letting us train around a busy class and letting us have free reign on all equipment, making us feel right at home. There is loads of space including a giant rig and more concept 2 rowers and bikes than I could count. 2 ski ergs and again a row of echo bikes longer than my patience could count. I can’t comment on the coaching and class seeing as we only attended Open Gym but from the class I saw running whilst we were there looked energetic and organised with lots of great hands on coaching taking place; and as an experienced CrossFitter looked like the type of class I would like to be involved in! Training for HYROX at the moment was no problem here either, with sandbags for lunges and 4 sleds to use on their turf so a great facility for that if you’re not currently doing CrossFit or looking for a HYROX training space. They were responsive and helpful through instagram message where I reached out and I would definitely encourage you to do the same to let them know you’re coming down for a session but it was a great experience, super cheap and if I’m ever in the area again I’ll go out of my way to do my training here. Thanks for having us.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I dropped in here while visiting family in the area and had a great time. Neither of us have been doing CF for long so we had a few nerves about how things would go. However Jonny was great, and everyone at the gym was friendly and welcoming. We'll be dropping in here every time we come back to visit.

Fantastic experience: Without doubt it was a life changing moment when I signed up to 179. I previously HATED the gym, boring, uninspiring, judgmental to make a few reasons.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of training at 179 CrossFit for two months after I moved back to Swansea from London temporarily. I have trained at many CrossFit gyms over the years - both in Wales and London. Some of those gyms have been good, some have been bad, and some have been really really bad. 179 CrossFit doesn’t fall into any of those categories. It is phenomenal, and is hands down the BEST CrossFit gym I have ever trained at - period. The equipment is all high spec and the facility is spotless. The Head Coach, Jonny, is part of CrossFit’s Seminar Staff, and it shows. His programming and coaching is top tier, and in the short time I trained there, I have pushed myself past boundaries and plateaus I have been stuck on for years. I was made to feel welcome from Day 1 by the coaches and members alike - everyone is pulling in the same direction, and there are no egos.
