The scalability of CrossFit was something I didn't know about but has really helped me safely learn the movements in class the coaches are so knowledgeable... absolutely worth every penny, the quality of class and programming is the best I've found in Winchester!!!

Fantastic experience: The place to train and the best coaches and staff

Fantastic experience: Great team, great venue

Fantastic experience: Great coaches and great space!!

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Winchester by far. All the coaches are top notch and the classes will be the best hour of your day.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing gym, amazing coaches and an amazing community. If u want to start ur fitness journey, I couldn't think of a better place coz this is where I started

Fantastic experience: Awesome place. Coaches are great and everyone is really nice, such a friendly atmosphere…and you get results, best gym I’ve ever been a member of!

Fantastic experience: This is an absolute gem of a place to workout at. The main coaches Lefty and Canny are fabulous, breaking down the movements to make them easy to learn and scalable to suit all abilities and needs. Injuries are taken into account and workouts adjusted accordingly. Focus is on form and in lifting safely. I had not done much proper weight lifting before I joined and now really feel the benefit of it as I get older. It is great to feel stronger and track my progress in the app to see just how far I have come. I am not the most flexible person anymore but the more gymnastic style movements are tailored to fit with your ability with progressions as strength and some mobility is gained. I can’t rate the coaching, the programming and the set up highly enough. It is a really welcoming environment with such a friendly and inclusive community of people to work out alongside. It is the happiest I have been working out for a very long time!

Fantastic experience: As a newbie to CrossFit, the coaches have been amazing at teaching me the basics during class workouts, great focus on the right technique and motivate you during the workout. Always happy to answer questions and take the time to help if needed. Overall, really friendly box with great equipment and great team that run it!

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming and knowledgeable coaches. Great space to work out in. Amazing community that all help eachother out, both on and off the gym floor. No point going to any other gym. Joined a year ago, have gone there no less than four times a week and still enjoy every moment of it. Wouldn't go anywhere else and would say to anyone thinking about it, just come in for a session and you won't look back. If you haven't done CrossFit before (like I hadn't) it is one of the best things you will try. No better place to give it a go...

Fantastic experience: Great Gym. Now under EDC ownership. It's going to be great!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym. Ticks all the boxes you could want: lots of equipment & space, varied & tough workouts, coaches and other members are really friendly & supportive

Fantastic experience: Lovely environment and a great community with amazing coaches. Fantastic place to learn new skills and a healthy lifestyle ☺️

Fantastic experience: I drop in to this Box whenever I am travelling to Winchester area for work. In fact I purposefully choose the Prem Inn across the road so I can make the classes here. Coach Canny is really friendly and welcoming and the members I have met so far are the same. Had some great Wods here and great coaching on technique. Great selection of kit and a really nice setup recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained at a number of CrossFit gyms all around hampshire over the years and this is by far the best. The community here are amazing and go the extra mile to make new members feel welcome. The owners and coaches are extremely knowledgeable and ready to help you every step of the way. Most importantly the workouts are scalable for all ages (there are even special teenage classes) and all abilities from competitive athletes to those with no training experience whatsoever. I can’t recommend CrossFit Wessex enough!

Fantastic experience: Probably one of the best CrossFit boxes I’ve ever been to, and that’s quite a few! The coaches are so welcoming and relaxed, they are super attentive and the programming offers such a range for every fitness level from anyone just starting out, to the pro athletes. It’s top quality, if you want decent progressive programming and top notch coaches then you have found the place best place to train in Winchester!

Fantastic experience: Great box with great coaches and a really welcoming atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Great gym and loving the coaching! Can't wait to learn more ‍♂️

Fantastic experience: I've been doing crossfit for several years now and SW1 is by far the best box I've been a member of. Fantastic coaches, friendly environment and excellent variety of quality equipment.

Fantastic experience: I joined SW1 with no CrossFit experience at all - the team are SO helpful and welcoming into an environment which can initially be quite daunting…I’m a few months into my membership now and can’t imagine ever going back to a “normal” gym, and actually look forward to my workouts now Thanks to all the team and other members ❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: Really welcoming and friendly atmosphere! Coaches are super experienced and helpful with progressing technique.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, inclusive,encouraging and totally accessible to all. Highly recommend this place to anyone regardless of where you are on your own fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Don’t bother going here if you’re looking for an ‘easy’ work out. If you want progress, teamwork and a good time as well as the health benefits of beasting yourself ….. then what you doing reading this still? Off you go and sign up now. Thank me later! ;)

Fantastic experience: So I thought CrossFit Gyms were all about egos and ripped bodies in minimal clothing, and I expected to feel uncomfortable from that first minute I walked in- not SW1. I walked into smiles, handshakes and normal looking folks wearing t-shirts! Super happy experience there that I can’t imagine I will ever want to leave. The coaching staff bring a wealth of experience from many different walks of life. They are professional, personable and supportive, I feel safe in their hands. Members are all friendly and we are all supportive of each other- no matter the standard or struggle that day. Facilities wise- all the kit you need and of very high quality, well maintained and clean. Coffee bar, toilets, shower and I think we are soon to have access to sports therapists and massage on site. Also a resident YOGA instructor whom runs a few classes a week- they have it all. Daily timetable has something for everyone depending on what time you have free during the day (high intensity fat burners, do your own thing in the gym or those classes that you would associate with the more traditional CrossFit workouts). Just give it a go and see what you think.

Fantastic experience: After seeing a lot of hype on Instagram about SW1 Wessex opening and nervously going to the opening weekend in February 2022, I signed up instantly and haven’t missed a weeks training! This place is like no other gym I’ve trained at. Firstly, the coaches and members are incredible! Knowing whatever day I go, I’ll learn, push hard and have fun with whoever is training or coaching. The kit is amazing, with some new equipment and things I’ve never tried before. The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging, full of praise and such good fun!! If you’ve been thinking about it or looking for something new to reboot your training, 100% give this place a visit….you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend SW1 crossfit wessex enough. The atmosphere is unreal, the coaches are so knowledgeable (and great fun) and the community spirit is strong. They will always go massively out of their way to improve your technique and strength and I’ve noticed such huge improvements since starting in April. I’m the fittest I’ve ever been and I just love every session. All of the coaches work hard to adapt for injury but totally push you all the time. If you’re lucky Lefty will even dance for you… Stepping out of your comfort zone to give just one session a go could be the best thing you ever do. I’m in for life!

Fantastic experience: Having only ever seeing CrossFit on the TV and never done it myself, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from the classes but I am so glad that I walked through that door. I have been a member for 5 months and have learned and developed so much with still a lot more to learn. The team are so knowledgeable and are always on hand to help and support (both in classes and open gym sessions). One of the best things about it all is the community. You get so many people from all walks of life who are all there with the same goals in mind and they all help one another. If you’ve been thinking of going to a class, I urge you to go for it as it may be the best thing you do!

Fantastic experience: Such a fantastic facility! Great clean and working equipment!! The coaches are great and extremely accommodating. Every time I’m down south from Manchester I always make sure I book in to the classes. Thanks again for being an amazing gym!!

Fantastic experience: The team at Sw1 Winchester are so welcoming and professional to help you improve your fitness. It is a great environment with friendly members and staff. Super addictive and helping me to stay fit and mentally as well as physically strong. Cannot recommend enough. Adam and team are all fantastic

Fantastic experience: Stunning facility with first class coaches who really are invested in their clients. The atmosphere is always welcoming and with options for every workout, Crossfit really is accessible and enjoyable for everyone!
