Rush242 CrossFit^® CCXLII

Fantastic experience: Really friendly memebers with great scaled workout options so everyone can do a similar (ish) workout Coaches are really helpful and make minor corrections that make lots of difference Well worth it

Fantastic experience: A super welcoming gym and community, a great place to go for ANY level of CrossFit!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing, friendly, and supportive - what more could you want!

Fantastic experience: The team are absolutely great and it’s a really supportive and inclusive environment! I’ve made more progress in a month than I probably did in 3 years with a PT

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Rush242 for just two weeks, and I’ve never felt more welcomed and supported in my entire gym experience. Nikko and the team have created a truly unique environment that builds confidence through competence and education, unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The facilities and equipment are top-notch, and it’s an absolute pleasure to work out here. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Only starting coming a couple of week ago but so far so good. Nikko, Jules and Jake are great coaches and make the session really inclusive for people at all levels on their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: the place is quite amazing! And coaches are very friendly!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great coaches. Very recommend

Fantastic experience: I’m new to exercise and was a bit unsure about starting CrossFit, but Rush242 has been amazing. The coaches are incredibly supportive and encouraging, and I've already seen progress in my ability and confidence. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Fantastic experience: It's fun and challenging ! Happy to get back to shape !

Fantastic experience: It's been a month and I stand by my initial impression. This place is a gem. Lara has a gift for including people in conversations, adjusting workouts without belittling people, and believes in you to reach higher/go harder even if you dont think you can. Jules is a fantastic coach and delivers her sessions in a way thats accessible to anyone who turns up. She regularly posts what she is grateful for in the FB group and although it's not always active in the comments, it really helps to get through the week/ prompt positive thinking! Nikko is outstanding his commitment to his members is like no other I've ever seen or advertised elsewhere. Nikko takes the time to get to know you and it genuinely feels like he's asking. The effort that is put into this place doesn't go unnoticed because I've never seen anyone who's left the gym with a sad face. This team is the very definition of what "above and beyond" means.

Fantastic experience: 100% recommend to anyone thinking of joining! As a CrossFit beginner who didn’t go the gym before joining (and had crazy anxiety about it), I’ve been made to feel so welcome by all the coaches and current members. No matter what your level, there is a workout to suit you and you’re supported and pushed to achieve your best! It’s a welcoming, inclusive environment with no judgement. I can’t recommend Rush242 enough, and Jules and Nikko!!

Fantastic experience: Rush is a very friendly gym where the community is lovely and supportive with no judgement. Coaches and members alike made me feel welcome from my first days, everyone made an effort to remember my name and include me. Everyone fist bumps each other after every session which is one of the small details that make me love the community! It's also worth mentioning the gym is very women-friendly and LGBTQIA+ inclusive. The coaches are all passionate about crossfit and very knowledgeable. They explain every workout and each move in detail, so even as a complete beginner I don't feel lost. The sessions are tough but the level method adapts each workout to each individual's level and tracks progression which feels very rewarding. The gym itself is lovely as well, they really optimised the space and all the equipment is excellent. Amazing experience so far so a big thanks to Nikko, Jules, Fraser, Lara and all the Rushers x

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere. Brilliant coaches, really supportive and always pushing you to new heights.

Fantastic experience: As a complete beginner to CrossFit, I couldn’t have asked for a better gym to start my journey. Coming from a place where I was feeling unmotivated in fitness, struggling with my mental health and confidence, and starting afresh in a new city, I benefited from such friendly, knowledgeable coaches and inclusive community more than I ever thought I would! I haven’t stopped raving about CrossFit since I joined! If you’re wondering whether you want to try something new or looking to invest in yourself - look no further.

Fantastic experience: It's my first time doing CrossFit and the team here couldn't be more welcoming. They've created an atmosphere and culture that is so friendly and inclusive. The space and equipment are all top notch. The sessions themselves are tough but with the different levels to choose from, it's accessible to everyone. The trainers are great, really helping to fix any form issues and motivating you to push yourself. After 4 weeks I'm already seeing progress. I couldn't recommend the gym more.

Fantastic experience: New to cross fit and reslly enjoying the workouts and support available from trainers and fellow cross fitters

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at Rush242!! I absolutely loved it! Great community and amazing facilities! Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with super supportive coaches!

Fantastic experience: What a vibe this place is!! Coaches are so knowledgeable and super helpful... Great community & spot for both athletes and general pop to come together. Highly recommend! ❤️

Fantastic experience: I thought I was too old to start at almost 50 !! ... but OMG I LOVE ❤️ the training and loving myself again. Thanks Julia & Nikko, you are the best of the best

Fantastic experience: A fantastic, well ran, very welcoming crossfit gym, movements are explained and demonstrated well prior to beginning the workout with various options of scaling available to suit all abilities. 5 stars all day.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing Box, all the coaches are super friendly & knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend this gym for newcomers & CrossFit veterans

Fantastic experience: Great trainers, very welcoming for everyone regardless of ability, definitely felt very supported during the sessions!

Fantastic experience: My first time going to a gym and it was super fun! Nikko was so helpful and friendly and guided me when I needed it, lots of laughs too ❤️

Fantastic experience: Welcoming and friendly, a real ' feel good ' vibe. Members soon feel part of this CrossFit community. Fantastic coaches are the key in this best gym in Manchester.

Fantastic experience: Rush 242 is a perfect place for training crossfit, our coaches are very empathic and professional, I enjoyed so much my time in this gym ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Rush242 more. In only a short time have I seen improvement in my technique, strength and confidence and that is all down to the brilliant coaches and amazing community that they have created. Whether you’re a beginner (like me) or have been crossfitting for years, this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: I was in Manchester for 3 weeks, and I was looking for a CrossFit gym to work out. I went to Rush242 and I had a warm welcome from the staff This is a very friendly box where everyone can come and workout ! I really appreciate the effort made by the staff to make me feel comfortable during the wods (because I’m French and I don’t speak english very well) If you are looking for a wod, I highly recommend this box !

Fantastic experience: I've had an incredible experience at the CCXII! In just three sessions, I've already seen amazing progress thanks to the expert guidance. The owners are so patient about CrossFit that it is just contagious, and the supportive atmosphere created by the community is truly inspiring. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, this gym provides the perfect environment to challenge yourself and achieve your fitness goals. I can't recommend it highly enough! One thing that I really want to point out is that, when you come to this gym, you feel safe and included. Even tho the workout itself might be challenging, you will feel so amazing afterwards that you will want to come straight back the next day!!!)))

Fantastic experience: We booked 2 group sessions with Nikko and he was brilliant! We all had a great time get fitter. feedback from our attendees: "Great class! Thank you for taking the time to introduce us to crossfit :)" "Really nice having someone give personalised sessions and to show you exactly how to do the right postures and stuff. Nikko is very friendly too, would like to come back for more sessions." "I liked it!! it's good that he (Nikko) asked us our level before starting to he could adjust the program to us. Offering different levels or alternative exercises in case we struggled with any was also very helpful. It was nice to discover an inclusive gym! exercising can be healthy AND fun, it's nice to see that there are coaches who can cater to trans masc/men's body goals specifically :)" Thanks again! Ezra (He/They)

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and an even better group of people. Team Rush242 has been so welcoming and encouraging right from the beginning, and made me feel so included and capable. Great coaching and spicy workouts. Definitely recommended!!

Fantastic experience: So many great things to say about this place and its people. I have been to many CrossFit Boxs/Gyms in Manchester, Salford and beyond, it is here though where I have progressed the most. I came from ClassPass after working abroad for awhile and needed a new start for my fitness and I couldn't have found a better place Thanks to Rush, I am in the best shape of my life. As well as looking my best I am performing at my best too. As soon as I could afford it and my passes expired I joined as a full member Nikko and Jules are incredible coaches and go out of their way to ensure everyone they coach develops, whether you brand new or you been hooked on CrossFit since the days of Froning and Fraser. The fellow CrossFitters at the box ade some of the loveliest and most support bunch out there, always looking out for one another and helping each other get better. A prime example would be thr Open yesterday. Without them and the coaches, no way I would have done the weight I did for as many reps as I did. Very grateful. What is offered here is so unique, stuff I haven't seen elsewhere, all that helps those who go here. Small classes, Level Method, PT sessions and more, all make the experience more personal. You are able to easily see your strengths and weakness, improving on the latter with support in class and beyond if you want. This feels much better than feeling like you are either a Beginner or Pro, RX or Scaler, here you are your own athlete, who will crush some elements and be crushed by others until you find a way manage them all... Well hopefully, keep ya posted when that happens, still working on those high weight exercises. Getting there though Thanks to all at Rush TLDR: Rush 242 is a great CrossFit Box in Salford/Manchester with great people and it would be a great idea to join

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Rush for nearly 6 months and I still love it just as much (if not more!) than when I first started! I felt like I was in a big slump with my workouts, feeling unmotivated and just had no direction. Since joining I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my strength and cardiovascular fitness. The classes are a good size so the coaches get to watch you closely and make sure your form is correct & encourage you on. It’s also a wonderful way to meet new people! Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming and we always have a good laugh as well as a tough workout. I also love that all the exercises can be scaled to your personal ability, so it’s super accessible to all levels. Hands down best gym in Manchester! Thank you so much for getting me hooked on CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: A really friendly gym where everyone is made to feel welcomed and valued. The community is so kind, no judgement everyone just wants the best for each other! The coaches make an effort to know your name and overall the environment they've created is one you feel safe in. Whether you are super experienced or completely new to fitness, the coaches give everyone the attention they need to ensure they are getting the most from their workout. The programming - level method - provides a really nice guide for athletes of all abilities and takes a lot of the guesswork out of how you might scale the workout. They also offer personal training sessions, nutrition guidance and have external experts host workshops too. I love going to this gym, it's worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: Whether you’re an experienced athlete or just starting out, Rush242 is the perfect CrossFit gym! I was really anxious to join as a CrossFit beginner, but the community here is so welcoming and inclusive that I immediately feel right at home! The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, supportive and friendly, and take the time to get to know you and help you achieve your goals and build your confidence. I was worried about my lack of experience, but Jules and Nikko were so patient and made me feel safe, and their fantastic scaling method means nobody gets left behind. If you’re looking for a gym, I highly recommend this one!!

Fantastic experience: Joining a gym for the first time at 30 years old, I was super nervous but both Nikko and Jules are always so friendly and welcoming. Nikko has been so supportive and encouraging! He always takes the time to demonstrate and explain each exercise, building my confidence massively and we always manage to laugh each session.

Fantastic experience: Just finished my first 3 intro sessions. Highly recommend. Haven’t trained properly in years so was a bit apprehensive but Nikko is an excellent coach focusing on your technique and creating a fun and friendly environment!

Fantastic experience: I recently started here as a complete beginner to CrossFit. I was getting bored of going to a commercial gym alone and found it hard to motivate myself. I was super anxious about joining this gym as it was stepping into the unknown however all the staff have been so so friendly and supportive making the whole onboarding experience so easy and enjoyable, as well as holding me accountable by often checking in with me to see how things are going and when they’ll next see me there! I can’t recommend this place enough, it has ignited my passion for fitness all over again! It has also changed my whole perspective on working out, I now look at what my body can do and achieve rather than how it looks.

Fantastic experience: Good coaches with a lot of experience. The facility features new installations and excellent quality equipment. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Really nice! The scaling system they have here worked really well for me. Niko and Jules are brilliant coaches and the place has good vibes

Fantastic experience: A great box with brilliant coaches and good vibes! The way to teach and focus on the technique of each movement is amazing Definitely hight recommended.

Fantastic experience: Loving this new box! Nikko and Jules are incredible coaches - so passionate about what they do. I feel at home here

Fantastic experience: A brand new gym but I've had classes with Coach Nikko for a while & he is so lovely and knowledgeable. He's really helped me improve & I love his classes - they're so fun. 100% guaranteed good vibes.

Fantastic experience: first time trying crossfit but nikko and jules are so lovely and create a welcoming, non-judgemental space. class sizes are nice and small which means you get loads of personalised guidance. great mix of heavy lifting plus cardio, i highly recommend !!

Fantastic experience: Great Box! Its brand new, but the coaches bring with them a wealth of experience. New equipment, and a great member base means no matter what your level is, you'll be looked after.

Fantastic experience: First time doing cross fit and the coaches are very inclusive and welcoming! Really enjoy all the workouts and I can’t wait to see my fitness improve :)

Fantastic experience: Came for a weightlifting workshop. A really lovely and welcoming gym, with knowledgeable coaches. Will definitely visit next time I'm in the area.

Fantastic experience: Being new to CrossFit, I was a little nervous about joining a box, however coaches Jules and Nikko have been nothing short of outstanding since I started!! Absolutely no one is felt to be left behind if there are certain workouts that are particularly challenging than others and the sessions are expertly adapted to the whole group, with Jules and Nikko taking their time to explain each movement in a way that is understandable to each individual, including taking into account and adapting to any weaknesses and injuries. The whole group has been incredibly welcoming and supportive from the start and I would strongly recommend Rush 242 to anyone who is thinking about joining a local CrossFit, especially someone who is new to CrossFit like myself!

Fantastic experience: A great new CrossFit gym to the Salford/Manchester area. Definitely worth popping in and giving a try. Small groups, which allow the coaches to spend more time with you to develop your skills. This isn't a one size fits all kinda place. It's designed to help everyone on different levels to achieve their own personal goals. We are just there to push each other to do that. I feel like my exercise mojo has returned.

Fantastic experience: I had not been to CrossFit before joining the Rush242 gym. The coaches are patient and helpful, always making sure our form is correct and we are pushing ourselves. Every workout is challenging and fun, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great new gym with supportive coaches and members. Session groups are small which means the coaches can work with you on developing your skills and give you 1:1 support while still being in a group environment. Mix of abilities, with those brand new to Crossfit and those who have been doing it for years so you can see what is possible while still working at your own level. The coaching method means everyone can join the workout and work towards their own goals. Really look forward to my sessions & always have fun!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend getting involved!! Jules and Nikko are amazing coaches and show so much passion towards helping their members achieve their goals. The new box has a great space and if you’re new to CrossFit, don’t worry as it invites all different levels of fitness. No one will feel left behind at Rush242.
