Fantastic experience: I've been a member for over a year now and I’ve never looked back. This gym has really helped me unlock my full potential and I’ve managed to achieve things I didn’t think were possible. Not only is the coaching world class but the environment and community is amazing. The atmosphere is second to none, you always feel amazing walking out after a workout. It’s really helped with my mental health and I’ve gained so much resilience since joining . I’ve managed to meet life long friends through this gym and the only regret is that I wish I started sooner. My fitness is the best it's ever been and my old injuries feel much better than they used to. Every workout is fun and challenging, and I don't have to stress pumping myself up for a workout or what I'll do when I get to the gym as everything is broken down so well. By far the best gym in Retford. You don’t need to be fit to start just turn up and you’ll never look back.

Fantastic experience: After using conventional gyms for over 15 years, I decided to visit CrossFit Retford. Over a year in and I haven’t looked back. Discovering CrossFit and more importantly working out at CrossFit Retford has changed my approach to fitness and working out. The friendly and supportive local community, alongside the first class coaching, has allowed me to get into the best shape I have ever been in.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend CrossFit Retford highly enough. As a beginner I did a three day trial and was welcomed and helped by Ben and Rosie who are brilliant coaches. I decided to sign up straight away because there’s something for everyone, a friendly and welcoming environment and support for those at every level of experience. Give it a go - you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: What a place! This place has changed my life for the better. I’ve struggled in the past to stick with fitness but over a year later, I’m still here and not going anywhere. It’s such a lovely, friendly environment with the most knowledgeable coaches, nothing is too much for them. 100% would recommend training here.

Fantastic experience: I love this Gym! Every member is great to work with. Ben & Rosie are great coaches. It's a pleasure going!

Fantastic experience: This place has actually changed my life and for the better by a country mile. I’ve always tried to keep in shape through home workouts and generally keeping up with my 3 kids but it was time to put me in the focus as I was fast approaching 40! I was nervous about starting what I thought was ‘just weightlifting’ but I stood corrected at the first session and have never looked back. The workout programs are brilliant and achievable at any level. I have definitely fallen in love with CrossFit and I don’t know if it’s the sport in general, the brilliant coaches (Ben & Rosie) who are always on hand to help, the other members who have chosen this gym, the feel good vibes of a good workout, the progress I’ve made or probably a bit of everything! All I can say is, if you think you’d like to try it then just try it, you could love it as much as I do

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Retford is an amazing place. It is the only thing that I have stuck to, and that has worked for me. This is because of the support, laughter, and fun. All exercises can be scaled to your ability, so they are achievable. The support and guidance in technique is invaluable and group workouts are a safe and enjoyable session. Rosie and Ben are fantastic coaches who are friendly and approachable. Crossfit is for all levels and is a great community.

Jane Woollett 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Both Ben & Rosie are patient, relatable, understanding & supportive. I went for one trial session and I’ve never looked back. CrossFit Retford is great for your mental and physical health, as well as being fun with a great community. I genuinely miss everyone when I have a day off, 2 years ago I’d never stepped foot in a gym. Fast forward to now training with my friends every day. It’s really encouraging when they want you to hit your goals as much as you do, sometimes more!

Fantastic experience: I started my CrossFit journey as a boy and and as time progressed with the guidance of coach Ben and Rosie I have became a man. From gains in strength and sex appeal I feel if you want the edge on life you need to CrossFit and if you’re gonna CrossFit then you should CrossFit Retford. 10/10 would recommend to a friend

Jamie Lynch 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I used to love the “idea” of doing CrossFit but hated that all the movements were so technical and difficult. But a CrossFit Retford is different. The coaches work with you to find the movements you can do and that’ll help you make the progress you want to make. There’s no ego. No vanity. No attitude. They just want to help you get the most out of your time in the gym. I appreciate that and have done since the day I walked in. Ben and Rosie welcomed me to the gang and they’ve celebrated all the little wins with me a long the way. Thank you guys. And thank you for helping me to get stronger, fitter and leaner over these past 5 months.

Fantastic experience: I am a beginner in all things gym, let alone CrossFit! I had tried several gyms over the years but I could never stick with it and keep it up. I had a break from the gym for a few months this year in July but when I felt ready to get back to it, the gym wasn’t an option for me anymore, mentally. I couldn’t bring myself to go. I kept seeing adverts for CrossFit Retford and decided to give it a go, what is there to lose? From the moment I stepped foot into CrossFit, I felt at home. Everyone is so welcoming and there is no judgement on your abilities or the way you look. I am an overweight, unfit lady and I did not feel like people were staring or judging me on my lack of abilities! Everyone’s there for the same reason & I felt part of the group straight away. I had never picked up a barbell before or lifted weights & now it’s my favourite part of the day! You’ve got a full time coach there during every session, guiding you through it all and there for any questions or advice! I’ve been going since 18th October and I honestly can’t stay away. I look forward to going & can’t wait to get there! I don’t feel apprehensive about going, like I did at the gym. If you’re considering CrossFit Retford and are unsure about it, I say just do it! If I can do it, literally anybody can!! A huge thank you to Ben and Rosie for being the amazing coaches that they are!

Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough about this CrossFit gym. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is engerizing and motivating. The coaches Ben & Rosie are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also supportive, tailoring workouts to individual fitness levels. The variety of classes keeps things exciting, and the community vibe is unmatched. Whether you're a seasoned CrossFit athlete or a beginner, the inclusive environment makes everyone feel welcome. State-of-the-art facilities and a focus on proper form ensure a safe and effective workout. If you're looking for a challenging yet fun fitness experience, CrossFit Retford is the place to be!
