CrossFit^® Mendip

Fantastic experience: I signed up for the 6 week challenge beginning of Sept24 and it's been amazing. Started immediately and had no experience of crossfit/hyrox or goIng to a gym. Such a welcoming community with all the coaches explaining each work out and the scaled options for each session. All the other members are also very helpful and encouraging and help if they see you struggling or unsure. Lots of flexibility in times and days for sessions and easy to book onto. I feel so comfortable just turning up on my own and am starting to build relationships with others as well now. I love it and would deffo recommend giving it a go if you're at all thinking about it. I've signed up for full membership now my 6 weeks have finished and look forward to pushing myself with the great support CFM provides.

Fantastic experience: I have just completed the 6 week challenge and had my review today. I am so pleased with the results shown in terms of the physical gains made in terms of fitness, strength and fat loss/muscle gain. I could not have achieved this without my own hard work and the guidance, support and dedication of the amazing coaches! From day 1 it was not just the coaches that helped and supported me but also my amazing fellow gym members who are all enthusiastically friendly and engaged in helping one another. it's a lovely shared experience here which I am thoroughly enjoying and so I have now signed up to be a permanent member. I feel great! Thank you all so much.

Fantastic experience: I’ve just completed the 6 week challenge and can’t wait to get stuck in as a full member! I’ve never been somewhere with such a welcoming and inclusive energy towards new people - and I was really nervous to join something like CrossFit so take it from me that I wouldn’t have stayed if it hadn’t been. From day 1 I felt like I was achieving something meaningful, both physically and mentally, as well as meeting a truly wonderful bunch of people (coaches and workout buddies alike). I’m more than happy to admit I’m not your average gym goer to look at, but not once have I felt like I don’t belong at CrossFit Mendip. Everything can be scaled (the coaches are great at being aware of where everyone is at for each session and are really skilled in helping you decide what the best scaled option might be) and believe me when I say that no matter how fit or unfit you think you might be, everyone has the opportunity to be pushed out of their comfort zone and get the absolute best out of each session. If you’re thinking of joining and not sure whether to take the leap…do it, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I joined back in November 2023 a complete mess from overworking and 20kg overweight at least and major mental health battles having just moved over to Somerset from London. CrossFit Mendip gave me a positive outlook, amazing confidence and a fun community with knowledgeable and fun coaches! More than that I found a community and friends who normalised mental health. This is so much more than a gym, but a safe place, a fun community and the only activity/sport that has kept me consistent and not bored! I am a completely different person now (and the strongest I have ever been!). I realised this was very unique, one weekday a few weeks ago, walking 25 minutes to the gym, in monsoon rain, and a cold day; that there are few people that can make me turn up and workout in the sopping grass and have a laugh in the process! The single best decision I have made! CrossFit Mendip- you are legends!

Fantastic experience: I started at CrossFit Mendip in January, after years of not doing it - I wish I started sooner!! Everyone in the gym is so friendly and welcoming, the coaches are supportive and know how to push each individual to achieve their best - even when I had my doubts Joining CrossFit Mendip has increased my confidence, fitness and strength and made me fall back in love with training. Couldn’t sing their praises enough!!!

Fantastic experience: After recently taking the plunge to force myself back to Crossfit after years of not going- to say I was nervous was an understatement. I recently moved to the area and didn't know anyone, so walking through the door was scary. In the 6 weeks I have been here I have made friends, my confidence has increased, I am a happier better person. The coaches are all friendly and will help you to train no matter your skills or ability. I have found without trying I am losing weight and my body shape is changing for the better. You won't regret walking through the door and giving it a go!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic space to train. Lots of options for classes and the coaches are fab. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Although reasonably active, CrossFit always seemed that level above me and I pushed the idea to one side. About two months ago I put my big girl pants on and gave it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised that people of all shapes and sizes go to CF with different goals and targets. Yes it's hard work and there are times you want to give up but I like leaving a sweaty mess and feeling in a high. I don't think I'll ever understand the 'tech speak' or the day will come when I can do a pull up without a band but willing to give it a damn good try!

Fantastic experience: I have always been really anxious about stepping into a gym but my experience here at CFM has been a game changer. I have found somewhere that not only encourages me to get stronger but also supports me with my mental health challenges. I am so grateful to have found this place with incredible people!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic community made up of such a great group of members and coaches. The coaches are always helping you reach your potential. I would recommend to anyone, of any fitness level as everyone supports each other through all of the workouts.

Fantastic experience: Great gym great people. Daryl and the team are brilliant and patient with me as a gym novice to make sure I’m doing things correctly. If your anxious about the gym this is the one for you

Fantastic experience: I’ve been in many gyms but none beat this one. I’m stronger, happier and more toned. The coaches are amazing and the vibe is fantastic.

Fantastic experience: I’ve really enjoyed training at CrossFit Mendip, as someone who was very anxious about a group exercise session I was made to feel completely at ease. I have used the open gym several times and have felt supported to transition into the classes. All of the coaches have been welcoming and provide varied options if needed. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Having travelled quite a bit and seen many different CrossFit set ups this is by far the most welcoming gym I’ve ever been to and so pleased to call it my home box. From day 1 it’s about inclusivity over and above anything else. Great equipment, space and above all coaches. If you’re wondering if CF is for you this is the best gym to give it a go.

Fantastic experience: I never thought CF would be for me and as a result, I came up with every excuse as to why I couldn’t do it. I didn’t have time, I wasn’t fit enough, what if I really sucked, anxiety, new people. Eek. But - I am so glad I challenged myself to take that first step. The energy at CF Mendip is infectious. There is a desire for everyone to be and do their best and the respect that what that looks like is different to us all. Everyone has been extremely friendly and supportive and I can honestly say I love my time at the gym, even if my face doesn’t always show it!

Fantastic experience: Me and my partner joined CFM a couple of months ago as a couple of beginners looking to get in shape and Daryl Amy Dan and the rest of the team have been incredibly supportive and encouraging from the start. The workouts are really well structured and although CrossFit is a tough workout it’s actually fun- and we now look forward to going as opposed to dragging ourselves to the gym! Although it can be daunting joining a new gym, the whole atmosphere is friendly and supportive and not intimidating at all. I’d highly recommend CFM to anyone- mix up your routine and try it!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! I was so intimidated at the idea of CrossFit having absolutely zero muscle power and pretty low fitness generally, but I was immediately made so welcome. The workouts are so varied and fun, my strength and fitness have improved hugely over the last couple of months. CrossFit really is addictive, and the team at CFM have created an amazingly friendly and kind environment to learn and improve. Thank you to all the coaches for your support and encouragement, you make this place what it is. The facilities are also excellent, lovely big space to work out and lots of equipment. I never leave a class without thinking ‘that was awesome’ :-) highly recommended x

Fantastic experience: I was always a bit too scared to have a go at CrossFit ("I'm not fit enough", "I need to be stronger", "I need to lose some weight first", etc), but those preconceptions were silly - anyone can do it, and this gym, in particular, is the perfect place to start. Now I just wish I'd joined years ago! The team at CrossFit are awesome. Everyone is welcoming and friendly, and the coaches, equipment, and workouts are superb. Everything can be scaled (i.e. made easier, depending on your own fitness level), and I think most members do scale to some extent. It's transforming my fitness, and I'm loving it. I'd give ten stars out of five if I could.

Fantastic experience: The most amazing and friendly coaches, great equipment and amazing community ❤

Fantastic experience: Brilliant Crossfit box with excellent, experienced and friendly coaches!

Fantastic experience: A great box. Facilities are brilliant and the class programming caters for everyone

Fantastic experience: In the past 5 months I have improved my confidence and fitness at CrossFit mendip, the coaches are great and know when to push you to do more. I also now few more confident to attend more sessions and team wars on a Saturday as more of a social as well as a fitness event! Thanks, Hollie Adams!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit mendip is a place to go when your goal is to take your fitness to the next level. Different exercises every single time. Not a single boring session. Coaches are helpful and friendly. Highly recommended. My motivation to do it every single time is mainly because I’m enjoying the workout, nice gym not so crowded. I’m looking forward for my summer ready bod lol..

Fantastic experience: Great place, came for a drop in. Nice new gym in the area staff and members friendly. All the kit is new. Come along, great fun...

Fantastic experience: Im 3 months in, I’m stronger, my body has changed, my fitness level is improving every day, I’m nearly half a stone lighter and my energy levels are higher. I had never lifted weights before CrossFit and the coaches are fantastic, they break everything down, scale back the moves that I can’t do and are very patient with me. Everyone is lovely.

Fantastic experience: Finally joined a box and enjoy going to the CrossFit Mendip gym so much. Great space and awesome team of coaches. Really friendly place especially if you’re new to CrossFit or a veteran.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are great no doubt about it, but what’s even more special is the members, who you create a community with full of encouragement and banter whatever time the class may be! You don’t need to be the fittest or the strongest, everything is scalable! Give it a trail and see for yourself..

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Coaches are brilliant and really encourage you. I was so nervous to join but I absolutely love it, would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Friendly, welcoming and fun! Accommodating when I have to take my little boy with me. Most of all professional and inspiring female coaches x

Fantastic experience: I saw the opportunity to trial CrossFit Mendip on a free 1 month trial, so I gave it a go. Right from the start, the coaches explained the moves (of which there are many) and there is a great mix of strength, agility and cardio with some yoga-like stretches thrown in. After many years of long-distance runs and unmotivated gym sessions, I was looking for something more engaging. CrossFit sessions have pushed me way harder than I could ever motivate myself and I actually really look forward to each session. Fantastic coaching team who make sure you are informed, prepared and involved regardless of your ability and experience. Love it!!

Fantastic experience: As a runner, I started going to Mendip CrossFit to do some strength training to help improve my running. What I actually found was an amazing place of the best people. The coaches knowledge is second to none - they explain the techniques and how each one of us can scale it to our own needs. They are so supportive and work to motivate you to do the best you can in the best way. From the moment I walked in, I made friends - there’s a unique bonding experience of going through the same experience as a team and the support is endless. I’m still a runner - but I’m also a CrossFit-er and wouldn’t have it any other way. Oh and yes, lost the belly flab, have amazing running form and can see and feel how much my body and mind love CrossFit. It’s my new favourite place to go.

Fantastic experience: If I can feel positive about CrossFit, anyone can… I’m the true definition of a couch potato. Plush gyms, home equipment or just telling myself I’ll go for a walk… nothing worked. I used back pain as an excuse “so as not to make it worse”. It started with a free trial for a month… nothing to lose. I am now a full member (and it’s not cheap) because it really works for me. The workouts are a real mix and are strengthening every part of my body, I can tailor each move to my specific need and fitness level, the other members are really encouraging (I’d get embarrassed going to typical gyms) and, most importantly, the coaches are really positive and helpful. Izzy and Nathan stand out amongst the coaches… if you’re new or a bit nervous, try one of their classes. And my back feels much better too, allowing me to do things I had thought I could no longer do. Result.
