CrossFit^® Muscle Yard

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to CFMY for a few weeks now and I think it's great! The workouts are really fun and challenging. I have been to a few mainstream gyms in the past and always ended up bored with it, but this changes it up everyday. I'm a newbie at CrossFit and the team of coaches and members have helped guide me through the movements. Everyone in the gym is friendly and very welcoming, and I look forward to coming to the sessions. The gym itself is layed out well and is absolutely clean and spotless and the facilities are great. I would definitely recommend to anyone who would like to get fit 9 month update! Still loving CrossFit and in 200% better shape then I was when I started! I love it

Fantastic experience: A fantastic place to train hard and learn new skills. Great friendly staff and atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: It had been a few years and two babies since I’ve done CrossFit so I was very apprehensive about joining CrossFit Muscle Yard. However the community was incredibly welcoming from the moment I stepped through the door and I haven’t looked back. The classes are easy to book, always engaging/ varied and every instructor is very knowledgeable and passionate. Loving being back to a fantastic sport and working on being the best version of me I can be.

Fantastic experience: Having just started CrossFit ; I was a little unsure of how I would take to it. However Rob and everyone at the Muscle Yard in Rayleigh have been welcoming and helped me out. I am loving it and just need to improve on my skipping (unders) and some of the new terminologies. If you’d like to try something new and different fitness wise then this place is for you.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a few different CrossFit boxes over the past few years, in my opinion this is one of the best. The community that Rob and the coaches have built together is amazing and a true representation of a healthy training environment. The equipment and facilities are always in great condition and clean. Again, one of the cleanest boxes I’ve visited! The programming offers a mix of everything, with long warm-ups to make sure you are ready for whatever the workout throws at you. Everyone has been very welcoming and helpful too. I love the vibes, coaches and members!

Fantastic experience: I investigated CrossFit Muscle Yard one year ago now, slightly embarrassed knowing nothing about what it actually was and with the intention of getting fitter and losing a few pounds for a special occasion. I’m still there, feeling fitter and better than ever ! This place is such a happy and positive environment, where everyone works at their own level, no judgment but plenty of encouragement ( I constantly ask questions and still get things wrong) all the coaches are genuinely nice human beings, super helpful, always ensure you are moving correctly to avoid injury and push you when it’s needed! What are you waiting for?

Fantastic experience: I’m really happy to have found CrossFit Muscle Yard. The workouts are challenging and you leave with a feeling of accomplishment.

Fantastic experience: Great community - so welcoming and supportive. I feel fitter and stronger after just a few sessions and enjoy the variety of workouts.

Fantastic experience: As a member who has since joining had had various obstacles to climb ( not gym ones) the coaches have been so encouraging and helpful with getting me back to the gym each time. Really lovely community :)

Fantastic experience: I started with CrossFit muscle yard a few weeks back and loving it so far. Really friendly helpful staff/coaches that help you through all the movements and lifts if you are just beginning.

Fantastic experience: Have been a member for a couple of weeks; have been welcomed, coached and guided thoroughly through sessions by experienced instructors. Have really enjoyed so far and already seeing results. A friendly, encouraging gym. Totally recommend.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Muscle Yard is fantastic place to train. Everyone is very friendly and encouraging and all the trainers are very knowledgable and are great at perfecting your technique whatever your level! I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Nearing 50 I just could not loose weight and no mater how much I exercised I just didn’t get the results I wanted , I can honestly say that after 6 months of joining muscle yard , I’m now back into my size 10 clothes , yes it’s hard and challenging for me at times but hey no pain no gain right ? Love all of the trainers , who are all so encouraging and patient with me lol . Great place to train, excellent equipment, I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Thank you Muscle Yard x

Fantastic experience: The gym is great, loads of equipment, clean, sessions are challenging and varied, not too many people in a class and the coaches are super helpful. Above everything else everyone is really friendly and genuinely cheer each other on.

Fantastic experience: Been a member at crossfit muscleyard for 3 years now, this really is a special place to workout, the facilities and equipment here are immaculate, Rob and he's coaching team are excellent and extremely helpful, the members here are great too, so inviting, polite and encouraging. Looking for class based training in Rayleigh, you won't find better than this.

Fantastic experience: I’m a runner who has never really used the gym but after a serious injury I realised it was time get some strength and flexibility. CrossFit gave me strength in functional movements I use everyday with the use of gymnastics, weight lifting etc which improved my flexibility, agility and concentration which I wanted. Xfit Muscle Yard has moved this on to a whole new level, with enthusiastic coaches, fantastic workouts, the sky is the limit whatever your ability.

Fantastic experience: I started my CrossFit journey 11 months ago, and my only regret is not starting it sooner! In that time I’ve learnt new skills including: rope climbs, kipping pull ups, double unders, various Olympic lifts, along with improving core strength and technique in deadlifts, squats, bench to name just a few… I love how every session is different and each workout can be scaled based on your ability, all facilitated by the awesome coaches, along with the fantastic support of the members of CrossFit MuscleYard. Hands down the best gym in Essex!

Fantastic experience: This place is something else! I'm on my third session and wow, they somehow just keep you going. Rob and Gemma are so helpful and get the best out of you. You will not find a better workout with such a sense of community to match! Amazing

Fantastic experience: I joined the Legends classes ( for 60yrs+) a year after I retired. I’ve suffered from work related back pain and mobility since 18yrs of age. I’ve attended many gyms and fitness classes but nothing seemed to alleviate back problems until I joined CFMY. 2yrs later, my back is a lot stronger and mobile and continuing to improve. My whole body is progressively getting stronger, fitter and mobile which is what I would like as I age. The coaches are very dedicated, knowledgeable and encouraging. I didn’t need to be fit to join. The programmes are tailored and scaled to individual’s ability. I wish CFMY had existed many years ago, when I first had back problems.

Fantastic experience: Have been a member for over 3yrs now and never looked back. CrossFit teaches you so many different disciplines and puts you within an amazing community of people who are all striving for the same results. Half the battle is making it to the gym but once you start CrossFit you won’t want to leave!!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit muscle yard is a amazing place to train it’s definitely the best gym in Rayleigh. The coaches are so encouraging to everyone what ever your fitness level is. I love spending the best hour of the day at CrossFit muscle yard.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to CFMY for just over 6 months and I love it! My husband has been going for 5 years and I didn’t think that I would be able to do the same workouts as him but everything can be scaled and I have made lots of progress already! It has a friendly, fun atmosphere and is a great place to train.

Fantastic experience: One of the loveliest box I’ve been to! It was always immaculate, everyone was very supportive and the coaches were attentive and can help scale the workout around your injuries. 100% recommend to anyone. Keep it up, Rob and team!

Fantastic experience: I joined CFMY around 18 months ago, and have loved every minute of it! I started 3 times a week and it didn’t take long to get the CrossFit buzz and go unlimited! The coaching, but most of all the community makes it a special place to train. Even when I damaged my achilles, they still tailored everything to what I could do and allowed me to grow and gain strength in new areas. It’s an inspiring place to be and so many incredible members and coaches that support you to become stronger and lift you up. Would recommend MY to anyone looking to get fitter, stronger and have a great community around you to help!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of CFMY for over two years now and I can’t recommend it enough. The friendly atmosphere and the encouragement from the other members has made training enjoyable and addictive. The coaches go out of their way to help with technique and advice. Even if you’re a beginner and feeling nervous about starting CrossFit or trying somewhere new, please don’t; you’re in safe hands and it’s great to see the CFMY family grow!

Fantastic experience: Having wanted to try CrossFit for YEARS, I never had the courage as everyone seemed so fit and joining big groups can be daunting. I finally bit the bullet this summer with a trial session and haven’t regretted it. I look forward to the weekly email with the schedule and plan my week around my classes. All the instructors are great and everyone is super friendly and encouraging. I wish I’d joined sooner!

Fantastic experience: I've always been so lazy with exercise and never really commited to anything. I had heard about CFMY from my boyfriend but was hesitant to join because I thought it was just for really strong, fit people.. but how wrong was I! There are members of all ages, all sizes and all fitness levels. The members are amazing and really cheer you on. The coaches are the best and I feel like they really believe in me and care about my progression and encourage me to push myself and do my best. I've been at CFMY for 8 months now, attending 3 classes a week and I've seen a huge change in my mental and physical health and although I still have a long way to go to reach my goals, there is no better place I'd rather train to get there. Thank you to Rob and the coaches for helping me become the best version of myself!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of CFMY for 6 months now. I joined as wanted to get fitter, stronger and also take me away from working all the time. I now keep going because the training is fantastic, the community spirit is amazing and I am seeing real results in fitness, strength and mindset. Highly recommend CFMY, Rob and the training team are brilliant!

Fantastic experience: After years of typical gym sessions (cardio class, weights class and the sprinkle of self motivated weight lifting) decided to try out cross fit with an open mind. Initial fundamental session was great with Coach Gemma, setting my mind at ease with expectations and what the sessions were about. CFMY is a great place to train, the coaches and members are so supportive and everyone is your official cheerleader! Every sessions is like a group PT session, lots of laughter, enthusiasm and encouragement. That is not to say its easy! I have cried after some sessions, but I return stronger and ready for the next challenge. I would recommend this to everyone!

Fantastic experience: The best part about CrossFit is the coaching — you can come in with no plan, no idea what you’re doing, and they will teach you. It’s almost one year since I nervously signed up to CFMY. Previously I’d worked out at Gyms, did lots of running and I continue to play Netball 2 to 3 times a week but nothing has pushed me like CrossFit does. It has a great community feel and incredibly knowledgable coaches. I strongly encourage anyone interested in CrossFit to try out CFMY. I Love It! I’m well and truly hooked!

Fantastic experience: An absolute cracking box/gym. I assumed I had to have a certain level of fitness before I could join. How wrong was I. There are all levels here and everyone is welcomed and encouraged to train to the best of their abilities. All classes are taught by friendly and approachable coaches. Give it a go, it'll be the best thing you'll do to start your crossfit journey

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for 6 months(ish) and it's a game changer. Before joining, I struggled to keep motivated for more than 3 months at a time at a regular gym. Signed up to this place and I can't stay away. The coaches, members and community are next-level. It's weirdly addictive, I can't recommend it highly enough. You get to train hard with good people, what more could you want! Wish I joined years ago. Best place I've ever trained in.

Fantastic experience: I’m so happy I joined CrossFit Muscle Yard 2 months ago. I genuinely look forward to turning up and training, which I never thought could happen! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and I would recommend it to anyone. It doesn’t matter what stage of fitness you are at, the classes are for everyone. I wish I had joined sooner!

Fantastic experience: I have only been doing CrossFit for the past two weeks, and I am already absolutely loving it! Rob and the team are extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions, everyone is so friendly and supportive and it’s a really great environment to train in, it’s massively helped me to push myself, which is something Iv struggled with when going to the gym on my own. No matter what your ability is, there’s always a variation for every exercise. I can’t recommend MY enough, and I can’t wait to see my progression!

Fantastic experience: 5 weeks in and I’m becoming an addict , great people to be surrounded with such positivity and encouragement . Trainers are on point and the varied workouts make the whole CrossFit experience rewarding and enjoyable - highly recommend to improve both your physical and mental well being , 5 stars !

Fantastic experience: I joined CFMY almost a year ago now and i continue to be amazed at the variety and variation of workouts, its entertaining and engaging. There is something for all skill/fitness levels. The coaches are friendly and knowledgable and the members are a fantastic group of people to which i am proud to be a part of

Fantastic experience: The support you get here is like no other, it’s the place to train if you want to build strength and work on mobility. It’s basically an amazing place to train at, the coaches are fantastic and give you the support you need to achieve individual goals and PB’s ;) The members and community is so encouraging and a fantastic bunch of people. Highly recommend!! Once you join you’d regret you didn’t join sooner. :D

Fantastic experience: I came across CFMY as i was looking for something that resembled a boot camp for my brother. When i joined CrossFit, i had no intention of staying but just wanted to get my brother into it. Months later, CrossFit has become part of my life. The coaches are great, they bring out the best out of everyone and push you at the same time. The people are so great, special mention to Marc and Rahul. They made me feel welcome and encouraged especially during the first days. I recommend CrossFit muscle yard to anyone who wants to give it a go. You will love it. Ps, it never gets easier, you get used to it.

Fantastic experience: I had completely lost all motivation before joining CrossFit muscle yard. The classes are great as not only are you pushed to your own individual limit, they are challenging and fun too. Learning new movements and exercises has been great for me mentally and physically. A great place if your looking for some new found motivation for your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I have been allergic to exercise for pretty much my whole life, but decided I needed to try and get into something to not only help myself physically, but also mentally! A friend recommended crossfit muscle yard, and I loved it from the first session. Not only are the coaches so helpful and make you feel at ease, but everyone in the sessions are so friendly and really want to help you do well. Couldn't recommend them more! :)

Fantastic experience: It's my 4th week at CrossFit Muscle Yard now and I absolutely love it! It's tough, it's challenging but oh so fun. The coaches are amazing. As someone who is very (!) unfit I had a bit of anxiety around going and being able to keep up. But the coaches and everyone made me feel so welcomed that I quickly released that fear and am just having fun. Everything, truly everything is scalable. And that makes CrossFit really for everyone. And I am so glad I found CFMY, as this box is such a great community and I couldn't recommend them high enough. Rob and his team of coaches are truly kind and beautiful human beings. Thanks for making me feel at ease and challenging me all the same. I'm hooked and I love it. If anyone is reading this, thinking about trying CrossFit, do it! You have nothing to loose and everything to gain. See you at CFMY :)

Fantastic experience: I joined CFMY after being at commercial gyms for years. Best decision I’ve ever made. If you enjoy pushing yourself and being pushed to be stronger, faster and just generally fitter; then this is the place for you. The coaches are amazing and have guided me through injuries, pregnancy and post parting training. It’s not just a gym but a team! Best gym in Rayleigh!

Fantastic experience: One of the best decisions I’ve made!! The coach’s are amazing, knowledgeable, supportive and so friendly! The members are really lovely, and all cheer you on! Loviest group of people I’ve met! Certainly a special community here, where I always feel welcomed! I trained at many gyms, but this exceeds them all! I’m in my mid 40’s and watched CrossFit games thinking they were all crazy and super fit, which initially stopped me joining. Then I decided to give it a try, I had nothing lose. I can honestly say, I’m actually able to do more than I expected, the rest I’m improving on all the time!!

Fantastic experience: Loving CrossFit Muscle Yard, everyone is really friendly and very welcoming. The workouts are intense but the trainers support and push you all the way. Receive loads of support from the owner Rob and it really helps with my motivation. Would highly recommend this Box

Fantastic experience: Why didn’t I find CFMY years ago?! When I joined I mentioned I won’t be able to do more than 2 sessions a week (partly due to my work, but also due to never particularly liking exercise!). Well a few months in, and I’ve been 3 x without fail every week and I love it!! (I even want to come more often already!) The coaches are all amazing, and make you feel at ease when you’re new and when you’re struggling. The other members are the same, so lovely

Fantastic experience: Have only recently joined but I’m really enjoying the challenge and variety of sessions at CrossFit Muscle Yard, & having fun while learning new skills too. The coaches are really friendly and super helpful for newbies like me plus everyone else whose training are really welcoming and happy to help. I really recommend it for anyone new or old to fitness as it caters for all

Fantastic experience: After training in a commercial gym for years with no plan and not giving my training the effort it needed, I can honestly say starting CrossFit has been the best thing for me. The set out plans are there for you to execute and with the amazing coaches and other members there to hype you up and talk you through the various movements, you can achieve your goals of becoming fitter and have fun doing it!!! Thanks rob and the amazing coaches for creating a space for everyone to feel welcome and smash their fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: Rob and the CFMY Team are awesome and makes going to the box an absolute dream. Excited to see my progression this year and onwards!

Fantastic experience: I went to one of the handstand pushup masterclasses and learnt so much! If I hadn't moved to Australia I would have signed up as a full time member as their classes are so informative and everyone was super friendly and welcoming!

Fantastic experience: Muscle Yard has great energy, staff, and feel. Box is clean, full of amazing people and friendly atmosphere. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic experience: Awesome atmosphere, great way to train and all around great fun! The best gym you will ever go to, you will never walk into an ordinary gym again!
