Fantastic experience: My first experience of crossfit was at TTZ. From day 1 Matt, Alex and the rest of the coaches made me feel at ease yet challenged me with the workouts. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone. Amazing, friendly coaches and a great TTZ community.

Fantastic experience: I joined TTZ as a complete beginner and I CANNOT express how much they helped me. The coaching was exceptional and the ability to feel like you get 1:1 coaching in a group setting is mind blowing and not easily achieved. I want to commend the guys for that. I felt welcome from the first trial session and somehow ended up at their members day competing. Alex looked after me the whole time and Matt was very patient with me during the two 1:1 sessions you get during the first month (which is such a bonus!!). I want to give Adam a special mention as he put up with me for most of the 6am sessions and his cues have helped me fix issues I've had for YEARS. (ankle mobility/ hips ect). His attention to detail, experience and excellence is undeniable. Also Ronan... To say this guy is an asset to the team is an understatement. His genuine kindness and smile every morning does not go unnoticed and he has a VERY bright future ahead of him. The members made me feel so at home too. Im quite the introvert so thank you to Jo and the rest of the 6am crew. What you guys have built as a facility should really be commended. I hope you realise the community you have built is something very special and it was an absolute privilege to even be part of it for a short space of time. I enlisted the team to help me ahead of moving to Bali and I have come here so much more confident. Thankyou. I will be back any opportunity when i'm in the UK. Love always Didi x

Fantastic experience: For the first time in my life, I am going to the gym regularly and enjoying every session and that is thanks to the TTZ team and members! Not only is the place welcoming and well equipped but the coaches are there to make your experience the best possible; they make sure your technique and skills are constantly improving and that you get the most out of every workout, whatever the difficulty is. I highly recommend the Training Zone, whatever your level of fitness or your goals are, you will find something for you there !

Fantastic experience: One of the best decisions my wife and I made in 2023 was joining TTZ. The coaches provide excellent guidance, creating challenging yet rewarding workouts. Whilst other gyms could be quite intimidating, at TTZ from the first sweaty fist bump, you're part of the community. TTZ is the place where lifting heavy stuff is a warm-up for lifting even heavier stuff and dropping weights feels like a mic drop. If you're into sweating, laughing, and occasionally questioning life choices TTZ is the place to be.

I C 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: TTZ is a fantastic gym, well equipped and with some great coaches who create a very positive environment. There are group-based classes and also individual PT sessions - I have tried both, with Alex and Matt on different occasions. I have had different PT over the years so can honestly say that Alex and Matt are by far the best. They are passionate, friendly, encouraging and they listen to my aims and needs. As a result, my physical and mental well-being has improved. I have no hesitation recommending them.

Zoe 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The facilities, coaching and community at this gym are second to none. They also have really good coffee which helps... I've now been there for over a year, and as my first CrossFit gym I really recommend this to anyone who is just starting out and wants to try it or is established in working out/CF. I felt included and supported from the outset. Hands down the most enjoyable gym I have ever attended.

Fantastic experience: I've know Alex a good few years now and not only is he a great coach but a fabulous athlete too with a wealth of experience in the world of fitness. I went down for my first session with Coach Matt last week and absolutely loved it. The facility is next level and the variety of classes offered opens the door to people of all ages and abilities. I signed up on the day and am looking forward to many more fun but gruelling times at the Training Zone :-)

No regrets and looking forward to growing with them
