Orwell Fitness: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Orwell fitness is the best gym that I have ever been a part of. Kirsty, Darren and the team combine to create an expert, encouraging and super inclusive group of coaches. The classes are accommodating to all ages and abilities, even if you have no experience of CrossFit. There is a real friendly feel to the gym, with the other members getting behind you to push you on through the classes. Couldn’t recommend it more!
Fantastic experience: This is without a doubt the best gym I have ever trained in. Kirsty and Darren have curated an amazing community with excellent coaches, equipment and something for everyone. It is a welcoming and encouraging environment with exceptional programming adjustable to all abilities and experience levels. I’ve loved the last 6 months training here both in class and individual settings and have seen my strength and skills grow massively. Big thanks to the coaches - Jacob, Ellie, Alex and Callum - for always being super supportive, helpful and knowledgeable
Fantastic experience: Pain cave 2.0 Just rising the bar in all things exercise, community and supporting your journey in being a better you
Fantastic experience: Far exceeded my expectations. After just 6 weeks I can already see a marked improvement in my level of fitness and strength. The trainers are very good, making the sessions fun and challenging. They make working out a pleasure rather than a chore.
Hi Duncan, Thank you for your review! It’s great to hear you are enjoying your training with us, and feeling the benefits
Fantastic experience: I have now been a member of Orwell Fitness for over four months. I can honestly say joining this gym has been the best decision I have made, definitely 5 star. After several years of triathlons and a few Ironman events I really needed to concentrate more on strength training and conditioning, probably a factor of age more than anything. Each session I have attended has delivered what feels like one on one training even in a class of 15 people, a true testament to the instructors and the experience and skill they have. It's a great environment with great members that will make you all feel at home. Definitely worth a go.......
Fantastic experience: Never stepped in a gym having been a runner/triathlete for 20 years - but it was time for me to try something different. From the first day the whole team were so warm and welcoming - they all seemed to know my name from the start and have been so supportive in starting me off down this new path in the correct way. I have already moved from 2 or 3 sessions a week to 4 or 5. The other members are very friendly and supportive too - and it is great that the gym is full of people of all ages, sizes and goals.
Thank you for your kind words Darren! It’s great to hear you are enjoying your training with us
Fantastic experience: After being a member at David Lloyd for many years doing the usual training, I was very unsure about joining somewhere new and being out of my comfort zone. As soon as I met Darren and his team I knew I had made the right decision, all of them are so friendly, helpful and make you feel welcome, best thing I've ever done
Fantastic experience: Have been with Orwell Fitness for a month now. I came with specific goals; from the trial session I knew this was the place for me. The staff are great and make you feel welcome and part of the community. What I love about this gym, is that each of the trainers want to get to know you, they make a point of learning your first name. They support you to get the best out of you. Always giving pointers on technique, alternative exercises if needs be. The classes have mixed abilities and cater for all needs, whatever your goals. Every session you are shown the moves you are going to do, so never feel left out, overwhelmed or out of place. Any egos are left at the door. A friendly community, I’d go as far as to say it feels more like a big family. Loving the journey.
Fantastic experience: i have been coming here for nearly a year and it is quite possibly one of the best decisions i have ever made. the atmosphere & community here is unmatched. everyone is so kind, both the members and coaches. having moved from london and not knowing anyone, orwell fitness has become my second home. and to the friends i have made here, i am so grateful for you all. the coaches care personally for everyone, and are made to feel welcome regardless of background and experience. thank you to the coaches for getting me into my healthiest & strongest version yet, both mentally and physically. if you are thinking of joining, i can almost reassure that you won't regret it. love to everyone at orwell fitness.
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym experience I have had, having been parts of multiple gyms and sports clubs throughout my time. Supportive and competitive, homely and community focused. Little in terms or anything I could ask more for. Keep it up team Orwell

Fantastic experience: Best box in Suffolk!! The inclusive space created by the coaches is second to none x
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym catering for all ages and fitness levels have felt at home from then minute I stepped in the door everything has been tailored for me which means I can still participate and not feel the odd one out - all members support one another and the coaches are always available to ask questions of - wouldn’t want to be anywhere else’s and i have tried many gyms

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, with knowledgeable coaches and good quality equipment. The range of classes also means you can train when it suits you. Much better than a normal gym!
Fantastic experience: "I have recently become a member of Orwell Fitness. I have been a member of various gyms locally and can honestly say that this is the best gym I've ever joined. The staff are very friendly and professional, constantly encouraging and monitoring your form. There is a positive, happy atmosphere at every session. I would absolutely recommend Orwell Fitness to anyone who wants a positive training experience with a very friendly welcome".
Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area. Fantastic trainers, everyone is helpful and friendly, a brilliant team environment where you get support from everyone, whether you are a beginner or athlete this gym has everything you need.
Fantastic experience: Not just a gym! A group of lovely people. Going to the gym is now like being part of a family. The instructors genuinely care and look out for everybody's individual needs and targets. No other better place to go for fitness and general wellbeing x
Fantastic experience: Love this gym - it’s great for any level - the workouts are all well thought through, the trainers excellent and meet you where you’re at. I’ve learned many new skills whilst having a lot of fun along the way.
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, super friendly and supportive and caters for all abilities. All the coaches are approachable and happy to help & advise. So pleased I joined!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Orwell Fitness for 4 years. Darren and Kirsty have nursed me through injury and have been brilliant in adapting classes to allow me to continue when I was sure I’d have to give completely. Best place ever to workout.
Fantastic experience: Such a lovely, friendly gym. Kirsty and Darren have created the best atmosphere for a gym that I have ever been too. All coaches and members are great.
Fantastic experience: Best gym I have ever been to! Loved every single training session at Orwell Fitness and that is mainly because of the quality of coaching I have received.
Fantastic experience: Orwell Fitness - the only place to train in Suffolk. The coaches, the equipment, the location, the atmosphere, the programming.. it is all on point! There is no overcrowding, coaching is knowledgeable and professional and progression is achieved! Try one session and your training will transform in an instant!
Fantastic experience: My daughter has been taking part in the weekly cross fit sessions and absolutely loves it! I signed her up hoping it would give her something different to do and something to channel her energy. But I am seeing so many benefits that I’ll definitely be keeping her on these training until she decides otherwise. She’s got better at understanding instructions, or to watch and follow when demonstrated to. The staff are very friendly and it’s great to see each child getting the time and attention even within a group activity considering this is the youngest group (3 yrs) Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. The workouts are tough, and instructors knowledgeable. They push you, and encourage you while advising how to get the most out of what you are doing. It's a different experience from your 'usual' gym, and all credit to them for creating something quute unique.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience here. I did two drop-ins and both were well programmed and fun workouts. Both members and coaches are super friendly and welcoming, and the coaching is superb. While travelling for work I did drop-ins at many locations but the attention to form and wellbeing of the members is exceptional here. Facilities and equipment are also nice. Will definitely come back when I am in town again.
Fantastic experience: We dropped in at Orwell fitness whilst in the area. Fantastic well equipped gym with great facilities. Love the new look since we last dropped in. Staff and members very welcoming. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: If you are struggling to find motivation when it comes to getting fitter and incorporating more exercise into your daily routine - this is the gym to go to! So much variety and challenging workouts that will give you confidence and great strength in many aspects. Kirsty and Darren have created such an excellent community! I’ve made some excellent friends at orwell fitness too. Don’t hesitate and come and be apart of an enthusiastic and happy community, you won’t regret it.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym with very knowledgeable coaches. Suitable for all ability levels from beginner to athlete, with adjustments made for any injuries etc. They've really helped boost my fitness and overall health, especially after I let things go over COVID, and helped me regain my confidence with weights.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Orwell Fitness since the day they opened. Kirsty, Darren & the team are fantastic coaches who really ensure you enjoy the sessions. The equipment they have is high quality and kept in very good order. The gym is kept super clean. The gym has recently been developed by adding a big mezzanine so there's lots of more space for more members. Come along and try a free first session, you won't regret it!
Fantastic experience: What can I say other than I love it !! The sessions are addictive it’s just become part of my weekly routine. The coaches are brilliant, very attentive and encouraging and they never forget a name which is impressive too . The whole gym has a good vibe about it with plenty of encouragement from other participants and boasts top notch equipment. I am definitely reaching my goals and only wish I had found this little gem sooner, thanks to Darren , Kirsty and Jacob
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Orwell Fitness is on a journey, whether they are serious athletes or beginners. The owners and coaches have created a friendly and strong community who support each other. Everyone is very encouraging and committed to their development which creates a positive atmosphere. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s changed my life mentally and physically and I’m grateful to the coaches and members for their encouragement.
Fantastic experience: I'm now 11 months into joining in on the classes and cannot recommend Orwell Fitness enough. Of all the gyms I've been to over the last 30+ years, have I ever seen the group classes covered by two coaches like they do at Orwell, providing clear instruction at all times. If your form isn't correct or if you're struggling with the weight they don't ignore you, they give their advice and encouragement at all times. The atmosphere is great and the group sessions are not crammed in just to maximise membership subscriptions. Credit to Darren, Kirsty, the coaches and members!
Fantastic experience: Dropped into many CrossFit programming style gyms around the country and never felt so welcome as I did here. Superb instruction from beginner to advanced level. Would defiantly advise anyone considering taking a journey into the functional fitness world to try out Orwell.
Fantastic experience: What a gym! I look forward to training here and go because I want to, rather than because I feel I have to. Since joining Orwell Fitness last year, my mindset on training and how it fits into my lifestyle has changed for the better. The coaches are incredible and so welcoming, the members are lovely and the sessions are structured so that they can be tweaked to suit all abilities. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Orwell Fitness is the first gym I've ever attended and the coaches have been nothing but amazing in supporting me and making me feel so positive about my progress even though I'm such a novice! It's so rewarding seeing my progress. I absolutely love the sessions, the coaches explain all the movements and I never feel out my depth but equally am pushed to reach my targets which I love. The other members are also all so welcoming and no one is left out. Would shout to the rooftops about how great it is, (and that's coming from a real gym sceptic). ☺️
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Orwell Fitness for 3 months and I’ve enjoyed every session so far. As someone who struggled consistently going to commercial gyms, being active or living healthy I really enjoyed using the trial to understand the culture of the gym and how it could support me in reaching my goals. The team at Orwell provide well structured and enjoyable sessions for everyone no matter the stage of their fitness journey. Since joining I’ve lost 4KG, have achieved personal goals and I look forward to working with the team to improve my fitness and lifestyle in the months to come. With a great range of classes available throughout the day I highly recommend Orwell Fitness to all!
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! I was very apprehensive when I first joined but I shouldn’t have been, everybody was so friendly and welcoming. Coaches are brilliant, everything is adapted to your ability and needs. Really supportive environment. Great range of classes from CrossFit, conditioning, gymnastics, weightlifting and strongman/woman. 5 months in and can notice a big difference in my general fitness and strength. Wish I’d joined sooner!
Fantastic experience: I've been a member at Orwell Fitness for the past two years and I absolutely love this place. The staff/coaches couldn't be more friendly, helpful and encouraging. Whether you join the OC (Orwell Conditioning), WOD (Workout Of the Day), Gymnastics or Weightlifting classes then you find each session is more like a group PT session rather than a regular gym class.
Fantastic experience: A brilliant workout, where no two sessions are the same. It really keeps you on your toes and provides the most intense workouts. Far better than going to the gym and pushing weights, these sessions help you to really focus on your goals. It's been fun learning new lifting techniques, the team are alway advising how to lift properly so you make the most out of your session. The whole team are so supportive, professional and fun, it's been really easy settling in. The other members are also so welcoming, it's the best community spirit I have ever experienced, especially when comparing to larger gym brands. 100% recommend giving it a go.
Fantastic experience: Since I’ve joined around 3 years ago, my fitness has improved drastically. The atmosphere that Darren and Kirsty have created is second to none and it is a friendly and fun place to train no matter your age or ability, with top quality coaching, who are always on hand to give guidance on technique. They really invest in the gym, with high spec equipment that is well looked after and are constantly working to make sure they’re providing the best service for all the members. Can’t recommend it enough!
Fantastic experience: By far the best gym you will ever sign up to, and that’s not only down to the coaches but every other person inside the gym. I would 100% recommend this gym to anyone who is thinking or looking, best decision I made. Can’t thank Orwell Fitness enough for completely changing my mindset on my physical and mental health and feel very lucky to be apart of the gym
Fantastic experience: Joined Orwell Fitness in August 2022 to maintain my fitness levels and learn different skills. I’d always like the idea of trying CrossFit and I’ve definitely found the best place to do this. The coaches are friendly, very experienced and informative throughout the workouts, always guiding you and ensuring you are working out safely and effectively whilst encouraging you to achieve and push yourself all the time. All the members are friendly and welcoming, everyone trains at there own level and pace but you feel part of a big team. Darren and Kirsty run a very efficient, clean and welcoming place to train, you always feel important and they are constantly striving to make it the best place possible to train. I loved it since the moment I walked in
Fantastic experience: It's nearly been a year since I joined Orwell Fitness and it's been the best year for both my physical and mental well-being. I was nervous joining as I was very much out of practice but all the coaches made me feel so at ease and confident every class. Attention to detail is amazing and facilities are quality. All the coaches are so attentive to technique and are genuinely interested in getting to know everyone on a personal level to make sure every class is enjoyable and informative. To top it off, the Orwell Fitness community is amazing. Everyone is welcome and I can't recommend it enough.
Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit gym I’ve been too! Coaches and facilities are the best about
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing establishment. Coaches are so supportive and knowledgeable. Great atmosphere. Recommend 10/10.
Fantastic experience: Really great place to train with a great community. If you are looking for a personable experience then this is the place. Everybody is super friendly and will help you push yourself further! I would put more stars if I could.
Fantastic experience: I'm honestly blown away by the friendliness, support and knowledge of all the trainers. The other people in class are also so friendly and I've felt so welcome in the classes. I really have no idea what I'm doing and have been given so much guidance and information in a really useful and kind way. The membership seemed expensive to me before I joined but actually it's incredibly good value.
Fantastic experience: Not been to a gym in years, never Xfit before. Four weeks in using this place and I’m loving it. The team of coaches tailor the workout to suit my level of (un) fitness, while also encouraging to push that bit harder. Exactly what I need and want. and there’s no fear or embarrassment.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at Orwell fitness for a year, moving to a new place is hard enough in itself - from the moment I stepped inside Orwell, Darren and Kirsty made me feel incredibly welcome. The coaching is 5 star +, I’ve been doing Crossfit for over 8 years and I’ve made the most progression in my 8 years, this past year at Orwell. And it’s down to the attention to detail, programming and the passion Darren and Kirsty put into making Orwell a place you want to succeed. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in - thank you Orwell, I can’t recommend the place enough - give it a try, you never know what’ll happen.
Fantastic experience: Had a brilliant time here. Was coached by Darren for the session, he was super knowledgeable and very pro active with coaching. Very clean and modern with awesome kit too! Would certainly recommend going! If I was local I would become a member. Highly recommend this fitness facility!
Fantastic experience: Orwell Fitness is the most inclusive gym I have ever been to - no matter what your age, ability, fitness, skills etc are - can join in and have a great experience - judgement free. The work outs are really varied, no repetition and you learn a lot!
Fantastic experience: Wow. From the first contact I knew this was the place for me! Darren was extremely helpful from the outset in setting up my free 7 day trial going through the different classes, what were my expectations and goals etc. Made my mind up to join after the first couple of sessions!!! Meeting and training with all the other coaches (Kirstie, Alex, Jacob and Callum) showed what a professional outfit this is with an amazing personal touch. All the other members are very welcoming and very inspirational too! Being new, I was apprehensive about my level of fitness and stepping into the unknown...I shouldn't have worried. The coaches go through all the moves of the class so you know what you're doing and what they all mean. When you're doing the classes they walk round, helping you, correcting your form and motivating you which is a real help to push yourself.Really loving the Orwell Fitness ethos and so glad I found a place that isn't full of ego's, just a great bunch of people that really engage and make you want to go beyond your limits. Thank you all for making me so welcome. Jon.
Fantastic experience: A wonderful place to get fit, grow stronger, receive expert advice on all areas of training and fitness and meet and make new friends. Regardless of your age and standard of fitness, the coaches will work with you to improve and achieve your goals. The class programme changes each day and targets different areas of the body, so one never gets bored by the repetitive drudgery of traditional gyms. My personal fitness and strength has improved dramatically since I joined almost 3 years ago and I am well into my 60s. I cannot recommend Orwell Fitness highly enough.
Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Orwell fitness for about 6 months now. Over that time I have gained a passion for cross fit. The coaches have been fantastic and taught me so much already, working on my technique and building my strength has helped me build confidence in a gym environment, they have a way of making you feel very comfortable very quickly which makes it enjoyable for all levels. Orwell also has a great community of members who have been welcoming and I've made friends with several people. There's always a reason to not do something but I'd encourage anyone to come down, from a complete beginner I'd say just come and give it a go as it could offer you so much, all the way upto a competing athlete, as the coaching is brillant, you won't be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: I think for me the biggest differentiators are the friendliness and the classes. I have been a member of at least one gym for the last 10 years, but Orwell Fitness genuinely tops them all. You get coached during classes, they care about your technique, and the other members are friendly and encouraging even when there's a competitive edge to a workout. I also go away knowing I've worked hard but thoroughly enjoyed myself, and there are plenty of value-added elements too, from the open gym (use of all equipment at certain times, to the showers, to the fridge stocked up with drinks and protein bars to purchase. They take good care of you and want you to achieve and better yourself and I have! I do highly recommend it, I think you'll be hooked.
Fantastic experience: Orwell Fitness is far and away the best gym I have ever been to. The gym itself is fantastic, spacious and well-equipped with top of the range equipment that is well looked after. What sets this gym apart from others is the level of coaching that members receive in every class. All the coaches work so hard to ensure that the workouts are fun, enjoyable, and adapted for people of all levels and fitness abilities. The coaches are all friendly, approachable, and excited to help you reach your goals! There is a real community feel, everyone knows your name, and you always know that you will have a friendly face greeting you when you walk through the door! Classes are on offer from 6am until 9pm, and on weekend mornings, with a huge range of classes to focus on your goals such as gymnastics, weightlifting, conditioning and everything in between. For anyone looking to try something new, get in shape, and exercise in a friendly, positive environment, I would 100% recommend Orwell Fitness, and know you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Great place for anyone to get fit, regardless of age or ability! Everyone is very welcoming and it's a great place to be a part of!
Fantastic experience: So I reluctantly went to a trial session and have now been going ever since, everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable and I can honestly say I have never been anywhere like it
Fantastic experience: Top notch coaches, brilliant atmosphere and top of the range equipment makes for an all around amazing gym!
Thank you for your review Richard! Very much appreciated
Fantastic experience: A wonderful community with amazing coaches. Everyone is super friendly and supportive, give it a try - you will leave every session smiling! Best place ever ❤️
Fantastic experience: Excellent box, for the last 7 months I’ve a attended a few times a week when away with work, knowledgeable and friendly coaches, well organised classes, good equipment, great programming, enjoy the mix of WOD, conditioning & weightlifting classes, welcoming members, highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Amazing fitness gym. People are friendly and most important good professionals that they always take care of everyone. Keep up the good work guys
Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend Orwell Fitness as a gym to visit - it is a fantastic gym, with superb equipment, friendly members and excellent coaches which are always there to encourage and support your health and fitness goals.
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Orwell Fitness highly enough! Friendly atmosphere, excellent coaches and challenging but fun workouts.
Fantastic experience: I joined Orwell 2 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made! The amazing team of coaches, great facilities and the friendly and supportive community of members really make it a special place.
Fantastic experience: I was hesitant at first because I hate the gym! But after my free trial session, I signed up. It’s nothing like the gym, it’s friendly with a sense of community and it doesn’t matter if your level is less or more than others , as they make sure to adapt the exercises to your ability and after 5 weeks I’ve never felt better. I’d recommend it to anyone, see you there
Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve been a member of, it’s more than a gym it’s a positive community. Great coaches, great equipment, fantastic setting to reach your goals. Best decision I made joining
Fantastic experience: Great gym, Classes are great and motivating, from day 1 everyone is so welcoming and coaches are great at helping and advising you. Definitely recommend coming to try a class.
Fantastic experience: If you're bored of monotonous lonely weight lifting and want a friendly team atmosphere but still with workouts that are gonna rip you a new one, this is the place for you. Can't speak highly enough of this place, the owners, the PTs and the people that go here.
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. The coaches are incredibly well trained to give interesting workouts that are fun and challenging. They also look after you individually if you’re carrying an injury and will tailor exercises around your needs. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Exceptional gym! I would give it 100 stars if I could! This welcoming, supportive gym caters for everybody, whatever your fitness levels and training goals. Along with amazing coaching, programming and facilities - they have created a great community! The location certainly adds to it...who wouldn't want to see the sun come up over the river as they arrive for a session ...
Fantastic experience: Orwell fitness has made such a positive difference to me. Excellent coaches and the members are very encouraging and friendly. The classes are challenging and fun.
Fantastic experience: The best gym in town, I absolutely love the Orwell Fitness family. The coaches are spot on, the progress on my fitness is superb. Thanks Orwell Fitness to provide the community with the best!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! I lost 37lb in 10 weeks and moved from a dress size 20 to 16. Modified exercise plan to meet my needs due to injury. Great atmosphere, the coaches are so knowledgeable and you chose your goals and they all help you to achieve them.
Fantastic experience: I am new to crossfit, I was nervous to join at first in case I couldn't keep up! But at Orwell fitness, they have all been so welcoming and encouraging. And will tailor workouts to suit your ability. Couldn't fault anything at Orwell fitness!
Fantastic experience: Anyone & everyone can join this gym. Fun friendly & welcoming, & workouts are tailored to all abilities. The only gym I’ve been a member of for nearly 3 years now, & when I moved house my membership was just as important as my gas and electric bills. Lol Come give it a go, it’s a game changer, you won’t regret it!! #teamorwell
Fantastic experience: We have been members of Orwell fitness for two years and have really felt part of something special and motivational. Darren, Kirsty, Alex, Jodie, Callum and JJ are all highly experienced, friendly and have made going outside your comfort zone and pushing your limits enjoyable. We have noticed a big difference in our fitness levels as well as feeling part of a team. Sessions are varied with cardio and strength workouts depending on your choice. The classes/open gym are at convenient times to fit around work, life etc. Highly recommend it to everyone of all ages and fitness levels.
Fantastic experience: I have now been a member for just over a year and although I enjoyed a regular gym and running before I joined, I’ve never loved training as much as I do now! All of the coaches are fantastic. I’ve learnt so much and still have an endless amount to learn but the community and team spirit makes every session enjoyable!
Fantastic experience: Darren & Kirsty have created a fabulous environment for all ages & abilities to train and get fit. They go above and beyond to support the fitness goals of all their members. They gym is friendly, well equipped and incredibly clean! You feel welcomed as soon as you step into the gym.
Fantastic experience: I’ve loved every minute at Orwell fitness! I’ve now been a member for a year and have been so welcomed by Kirsty, Darren & the team. Orwell fitness has such a great friendly atmosphere and any body of any ability will feel comfortable and enjoy themselves.
Fantastic experience: I used to always go to the gym more because I “should” than actually enjoying the experience but Orwell Fitness has changed this completely. They are so friendly and inclusive, all work outs are flexed to your specific level so everyone finishes together and gets a great workout. Couldn’t recommend them more.
Fantastic experience: I'm so happy I finally decided to join having been working out from our home gym for a while now. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and took into account my post op recovery which was massively important to me. A great variety of classes that cater to all levels of fitness and capabilities. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I worked out for years at normal gyms, which got boring and repetitive. I also thought I was in good shape but since joining my fitness has improved massively. At Orwell the workouts are different every week which keeps it enjoyable. It also encourages me to do exercises I wouldn't normally done. The staff are very nice and talkative, and explain/show all of the exercises so you know exactly what to do. There is also warm-ups at the beginning and stretches at the end which is good because a-lot of people don't normally do this. Fully recommend to anyone I speak to!
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Orwell Fitness enough! Everyone is super friendly, the workouts are adapted to suit your abtility and the coaches have a real passion and drive to help everyone with their goals. I was nervous on my first session but I really didn't need to be. You'll make friends, have fun and get fit. What more can you ask for!?
Fantastic experience: Orwell Fitness really is a great place to train. The programme is huge with a wide variety of classes running, so for someone with a busy schedule I am always confident I will be able to find times to go. The coaches are pretty amazing too, I was a novice in strength training when starting CrossFit and have learnt so much. They offer a truly personalised experience and have a flair in being able to balance taking it slow, giving expert advice and guidance to helping you grow and pushing you out of your comfort zone when you need to. Orwell Fitness is also located in a truly beautiful location which helps when I am feeling a bit lethargic!!
