A premier strength and conditioning facility to help your goals, look and feel better with movement and nutrition support. We specialise in movement, strength and conditioning and health for all ages. We have all ages accessing the facility from 8 to 80 years young.
CrossFit Tailored Training was affiliated and opened by John Lee Lydon and Michael Williamson in 2014. The 'box' started up in a small unit in Washington, Sunderland, with 40 members who were already participating in functional training on a smaller scale.
Since affiliating with CrossFit the community has grown and this has meant a new facility with increased space, more equipment more classes and therefore more fun!
We have added to our CrossFit family with more members and new coaches, spreading the word of the sport of fitness to as many people as we can - and the community is still growing!
We firmly believe that CrossFit is the future of fitness and hopefully you'll want to experience this fabulous programme to improve your life and fitness.
We have specialised classes for METCON, Gymnastics and Olympic weight lifting. Also have team training on to help members for worm workouts, syncho work and sandbags lifts and carries.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a friendly environment with great trainers then this is def the place to be.
Thanks Deb
Fantastic experience: Joined after a move to the north east 2 years ago. Can honestly say I’ve never been fitter or had more fun whilst working out. All trainers are very knowledge and approachable. Definetly recommended to all new to Crossfit or even pros!
Fantastic experience: Joined CrossFit Tailored Training in December 2017 as I wanted more of a challenge than sitting on a weight machine in a commercial gym. Fair to say I wouldn’t never go back to a commercial gym after being here - the atmosphere is amazing and the coaches are fantastic with vast amounts of knowledge and are always willing to help. Everyday is different with different challenges and workouts. Even though there are other CrossFit gyms near me, this CrossFit box is definitely worth the 20 mile drive everyday for me and I would not go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: I have been a full time member of Crossfit Tailored Training for a couple of years and in this time have witnessed the positive benefits of the services provided from the unit. The facility is a family-friendly hub for fitness and health, physiotherapy, sports recovery and training programmes used by local people, sports clubs and sports professionals. The facility owners have worked hard to build a popular and professional service with a strong sense of support and community; the interior facilities being a credit to the dedication of each of the coaches who have worked hard to customise the space to the needs of patrons. Expanding the facility has increased the membership and popularity of the unit, providing more space to accommodate the wide range of classes available. The unit continues to grow in terms of popularity due to the individual support, first-class provision and inclusivity shown to all members. I have attended various gyms/fitness centres and can attest that in my opinion, this unit is the best I’ve used in terms of facilities, standards of training and support. As a 50 year old, I wish I’d found the place much earlier. It’s made a big, positive difference to my own health and wellbeing.
Thanks for your review and support over the years
Fantastic experience: Good Morning, I would just like to offer up a Testimonial on behalf of the CrossFit Tailored Training facility based on the Wear Industrial Estate in Washington. I am 47 years old and have tried to keep myself in shape for several years without much success. I do not drive and have had to travel to other parts of Washington on public transport or rely on lifts to attend the various Gyms or the Millennium Centre at Concord where I attended circuit training (this has now actually ceased). The CrossFit facility is just on my doorstep as I live in Harraton which is just behind the Wear Industrial Estate, I can walk to the facility in around 90 seconds. It was by chance I found a post mentioning the CrossFit guys on Social Media and realised how close it was to my home. I have been attending for around 6 months now and try and get 4 times per week... It has become a way of life for me now as I don't need to rely on anyone to get there. I have lost round 2 stone in weight since I started and I feel so much fitter not just physically but mentally, I am so proud of my achievements and all the hard work I have put in. The coaches and the CrossFit facility are not just a group of 'bodybuilders' or 'super athletes' they are really good guys who are really clued up on all aspects of fitness and diet... They know about sports injuries and how you can workout with bad backs, posture issues, knee problems and various other ailments. They advise and show you how to train properly and the emphasis is on correct technique and movement. I would like to stress the importance of this facility to me and many other people, I would not know what to do if it was not here. I think there are around 150 people who use the CrossFit facility on a regular basis with classes from 6am through to 8pm and also covering weekends. There is a great community and family feeling to the facility and I have made lots of new friends since I started. The classes involve children and teens, male and female, as well as people in there 60's, its great for everyone in the community. Tim Fraser
Thanks Tim
Fantastic experience: Excellent crossfit affiliate. Superb coaches who are extremely knowlegeable and are able to breakdown your movements and improve them. Great place to train
Thanks for your review Peter.
Fantastic experience: Can’t fault the place. Coaches are brilliant had a few injuries due to other sports and they change workouts to suit me eveytime I am in. Atmosphere is amazing and all the members are really friendly
Thanks
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Instructors are all friendly, inspiring and experts in what they do. I’ve always got bored in traditional gyms but CFTT has me hooked and coming back time after time. Great atmosphere among members, highly recommended.
Thanks Tim
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place, great atmosphere! I've been made to feel welcome by coaches and members alike. Like most people only wish I'd found Crossfit and CFTT sooner!! Keep up the good work, would definitely recommend.
Thanks for the review
Fantastic experience: Been part of CFTT for nearly a year and it is the best place I have ever trained. Great atmosphere, no egos and the coaches are all amazing and spend the time to get to know you and help you in your training. Go join and start your own obsession with CrossFit.
Thanks for your comments Peter.
Fantastic experience: Unreal atmosphere, very friendly and the coaching is to the highest standard!! really skilful coaches who care! have achieved so much since being here, but also have full movement within my wrist after an accident which is down to the coaching and gentle push from coaches
Fantastic experience: I have trained with CrossFit Tailored Training for over 10 years before they grew into the business they are today. The coaches and the facilities are brilliant, they really work with you on an individual level to meet your training goals. It’s a great break away from ‘life’ realities and helps with both physical and mental health. Better still, the box is within walking distance of our home; me and my husband can take turns around the children to come and train. My son now trains with the coaches this has had a huge impact on his confidence. It’s given him something he really wants to set his mind to and focus on. He prides himself in being fit healthy and strong, CrossFit tied in with our values as parents is setting him up to hopefully become a healthy grounded adult, always having future goals to aim for and achieve. I trained with the team all the way through my pregnancy this really helped to keep mobile and recover post birth, I was back training within 10 weeks post-partum, they provide you with alternatives exactly suited to your needs. It gives you that lift even with the sleepless baby nights! The last thing I’d like to mention is the team spirit. All members work together and encourage each other to reach their full potentials. I haven’t trained anywhere that provides such a relaxed yet hard working and fun atmosphere. Great for both adults and children!
Always had our back

Fantastic experience: Never stuck at anything till I came to this place, it's addictive. Great lads that coach and always a mint atmosphere at every class! Massive difference in the short 3 months I've been here. Would recommend anyone to give it a go.
Thanks Liv
Fantastic experience: Fab, love the place, I've always done exercise and been to loads of gyms/classes, but here is different, coaches actually work with you, get to know you and you're treat as an individual... Plus the atmosphere during workouts is second to none, everyone cheering everyone on and working as a team.
Thanks Fiona
Fantastic experience: Great training mint trainers spur you on all the way ! Makes me more determined to stick at it and get fit . Love every minute of it . It's definitely one to recommend .
Cheers JJ
Fantastic experience: An amazing place to train with experienced, dedicated and knowledgeable coaches. Crossfit Tailored Training promotes a community atmosphere which is helpful with motivation and enjoying your workout, the workouts are constantly challenging, with the aim, that you are always improving, no matter of fitness level or ability. The coaches are really 'hot' on technique, which I think is essential. I really enjoy training here and would recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their health and fitness levels.
Fantastic experience: Experienced and knowledgeable coaches with friendly atmosphere. What more could you want! Brilliant workouts every day with different aims keeping you challenged and seeing improvement no matter of your fitness level. Highly recommend anyone interested to try
Fantastic experience: This has got to be the best form of training available. I have visited 'conventional' gyms in the past where people seem to do the same things day in day out and get bored somewhat. At Crossfit Washington the training is tailored and totally different, everyday is different, which adds to the enjoyment of training. The coaches are extremely professional in their approach and fully understand everyone's needs, regardless of what level you are at, you are treated the same as everyone else. Another of the plus points is everyone of the members support each other (there are no ego's). Excellent training with added humour - I find it an absolute joy to go training now.
Fantastic experience: I have been attending Crossfit Tailored Training for just over a year now, the improvements I have made in that time has been phenomenal, this is solely down to the vastly experienced and knowledgeable coaches. In addition the friendly members that attend, help create a great atmosphere. I would thoroughly recommend Crossfit Tailored Training.
Cheers
