Golden Valley CrossFit®: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I always feel totally comfortable doing the movements after the coaching team spend the time ensuring you know how to move properly at a weight that suits you. Ed is great at making sure that egos are left at the door, everyone is moving properly and working towards their own fitness goals. GVCF is a great community of lovely people
Thank you for the wonderful review, Jamie! We’re thrilled to hear how comfortable and supported you feel with our coaching team. Creating a positive environment where everyone can work towards their personal fitness goals is our top priority. We're grateful to have you as part of the GVCF community!
Fantastic experience: Super friendly & knowledgable! James always checks in & ensures technique’s prioritised throughout the workout. All round, a great coach

Fantastic experience: A great class led by Adam. Really enjoyed the variety of movements.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly and inclusive atmosphere. All classes can cater for all abilities. Ed is a fantastic coach who really cares about all his members.
Fantastic experience: Another great class from Ed, providing invaluable insight as always. The workout was tough, enjoyable and super rewarding!
Fantastic experience: I returned to Crossfit this summer after a break of around three years (and a hip replacement last year). I was nervous, but determined to get fit again and it’s been brilliant. I feel fitter and more energetic than I’ve felt for years. Everyone at the gym, coaches and members, are really friendly and supportive, and although I’m rather older than most of those in the classes I attend, it doesn’t seem to matter to anyone. I’m so grateful to Ed and all the coaches.
Nicky, thank you so much for your kind words. It’s a pleasure to welcome you to classes here!
Fantastic experience: Paul was amazing today. He corrected me when needed and he also had quality banter. ❤️
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, options for all levels of fitness and knowledge of CrossFit. Variety of experienced coaches who go through great effort to make sure you can improve and learn more about the exercises. A lovely community with kind members all pushing each other to achieve more with friendly competition.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. Great coaches, great work outs, warm inclusive community atmosphere, who knew exercise could be this much fun ! Been going for almost a year and I can really feel the benefits. And I was 58 and not very fit at all when I started. 59 and a lot fitter and stronger now.
Fantastic experience: I love Golden Valley CrossFit. Fun structured work outs that are well thought out and scaleable. Sally and all the coaches are really good at pushing me on in small little increments, noticing and giving feedback on form - it’s really appreciated
Jo! Thanks so much for your kind words, we really appreciate it. Also we agree Sally is particularly good at giving people that extra nudge!
Fantastic experience: Thom is a great coach very knowledgeable, he will break down each component and demonstrate to ensure you are comfortable and feel safe whilst performing those exercises. Be warned the cardio classes are brutal! But very fun ♀️
Fantastic experience: Today’s class was excellent, Sally communicated clearly and demonstrated the movements well giving me instructions to improve my movement. It was a challenge workout and Sally helped make it fun.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, instructor lead CrossFit classes along with open gym sessions.
Thank you Dave, it’s great to have you as part of the team.
Fantastic experience: Really love this place. Ed and the team have created a real community around fitness. The coaching is truly second to none. It's like having a personal trainer and a team of people helping you.
Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of supplying Security installation for these guys. ED was a pleasure to deal with and I must say what a friendly atmosphere the gym appeared.
Negative experience: I cant comment on the gym but I can comment as how they do business. I had agreed to purchase some gym Flooring from them, agreed the price and offered to pay a deposit, was told it wasn't needed and we arranged a collection day, I had messaged again just to confirm the collection times and got a message back "Someone swooped in with an offer of £1500, I’m going to go with the better offer I’m afraid. Good luck finding some flooring. And sorry for the inconvenience" This is not the sign of a good business.. We had a n agreement for 4 weeks.
Mike,Was just trying to respond to your message but it appears that you blocked me on Facebook.Not to split hairs here but you offered 30% under the asking price - it’s not unreasonable for me to choose an offer at the asking price over yours. I’m sure any business person would agree.Yours is the only review we have ever received that is anything less than 5 stars, and the others are all glowing validations of the way we do business.
Fantastic experience: CrossFit as it should be. Great group of people, well run classes with excellent coaching , interesting and clearly thought out programming that delivers results. Overall it’s a great community. If you want to get your fitness and health back on track I recommend popping in for a taster session.
Thank you Cameron. It’s a pleasure to train with you. Keep working hard
Fantastic experience: Inclusive, relaxed & not intimidating at all. Ed goes above and beyond to adapt workouts to allow everyone to ‘enjoy’ their class. Big fan

Fantastic experience: Profesional coaches, very friendly community. If you want understand what is CrossFit , this is a place
Fantastic experience: Great little crossfit box. No pretensions just a friendly and inclusive place to help push yourself to better fitness.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic box with extremely friendly staff and members
Fantastic experience: Love this place. Always a great, varied, supported workout, whether I've turned up feeling like a lion or a kitten. Fab coaches, lots of friendly like minded people improving their own personal fitness. All ages and abilities in the mix.
Fantastic experience: At close to 450 classes !! so far at GVCF where I attend most days - it’s a place where you have fun, meet friends, sweat, lift, learn amazing new movement skills and be coached by the best coaching team to help improve your fitness. It truly makes a difference
Fantastic experience: Love this place. Great trainers, really friendly and welcoming environment. They always make the effort to make the training work for everyone and make it fun at the same time.
Fantastic experience: Really friendly training environment. Perfect for all fitness levels. Some top level graft shared by all & ending with a smile every time.
Thanks Max, it's great to have you on board!
Fantastic experience: A day wouldn't be a day without it. Great programming, a super hard-working Head Coach, supportive & inclusive community. We train hard, but we train fun.
Fantastic experience: I have been attending classes at Golden Valley CrossFit since they opened. The coaches here provide excellent guidance and support, and they genuinely care about your progress and wellbeing. I find the CrossFit workouts always strike the perfect balance between fun and challenging, and I love that each session at Golden Valley is thoughtfully designed and includes a thorough warm-up and cool-down. The community here is warm and welcoming for regular members and for newcomers. The facility is in a beautiful location, it’s well equipped, and it's always clean and well-maintained. This makes every workout a really nice experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it!
Fantastic experience: I first started at Golden Valley CrossFit when it opened, and I'm so glad I did! I was initially nervous to try CrossFit and used to feel like it wasn't 'for me' and worried I wasn't 'fit enough' to do it. However Ed runs such inclusive, friendly and thorough classes that I soon changed my mind! The coaching is fantastic and I really appreciate how safely the classes are run with clear instructions and the coaches always help with form and scaling when you need it (I always need it!) It's a fantastic community of people, and so motivating to be a part of. I've also found them incredibly accomodating and understanding when I've had to take breaks in my membership due to personal circumstances, which I really appreciate! Golden Valley really cares about it's members, and that is clear in everything they do. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, with a super knowledgeable and friendly set of coaches. As a CrossFit novice I couldn’t recommend a better gym and group of people to start with. There’s also a brilliant and genuine community feel and lots of social interaction, so working out feels like you’re catching up with friends, and there’s lots of others to exchange hints and tips with as you get to grips with CrossFit.
Thank you Zaheer!
Fantastic experience: I've been here since it originally opened in 2019 and attend most days since Coach Ed took charge in October 2021. Some gyms can be intimidating. This is not one of them. Its a great place to train - coaches who encourage you regardless of the level you are at and will find ways to push the best athletes or scale the workouts to accommodate everyone's individual capabilities. The other members are just as supportive, and often the person finishing last gets the biggest cheers of the whole group! Give it a try if you fancy a mix of weightlifting, cardio and gymnastics.
Thanks Paul, looking forward to many more 0530AM workouts together!
Fantastic experience: I happened across GVCF when looking for a ‘hook’ to get me off the sofa and exercising again. From day 1, Ed and his team have been warm and welcoming not to mention knowledgeable. I quickly found myself joining in regularly and looking forward to the sessions. Each day is different from the last (which helps maintain interest) and the work is easily adapted to your own ability. At GVCF seasoned athletes happily workout alongside complete beginners and everyone’s individual successes are always celebrated. Ed was not wrong when he told me that I would end up wishing I’d found CrossFit sooner!
Thank you Suzanne, it's a pleasure having you train here with us.
Fantastic experience: I chanced upon Golden Valley CrossFit when looking to get back into regular exercise after having 2 children. I could not have ended up in a friendlier or more supportive environment. The programming and coaching is excellent, with constant variety to keep you engaged. I have learnt so many new skills over the last 18 months and become part of a wonderful community.
Thank you so much Amy, looking forward to the next 18 months and beyond!
Fantastic experience: We dropped in for two classes while staying in the area, excellent box. Coaches are super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend to do a drop in if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed!
Thank you for your kind words Hannah. Hope you enjoyed your stay in Chalford and good luck with your upcoming competitions!
Fantastic experience: Great gym and super friendly place. All the coach’s offer great support for every level. Would recommend to try it out!
Thanks Ash
Fantastic experience: Very good and welcoming Box to train in! No Problems to come by for a drop in. Love to go back there every time again!!
Fantastic experience: GVCF is an amazing place to escape and exercise both body and mind with friendly qualified coaches who can offer different progressions for every movement making all the workouts the perfect level of toughness and enjoyment for everyone. All the members are super welcoming and offer support to the whole class to ensure everyone feels part of the team. I love how each class is different as you move from gymnastic movements to Olympic weightlifting all mixed together with some good old cardio. Fun times every class. There is no better feeling than smashing your own personal records as proof that the coaching plans put together are doing exactly as they promised. Go and get a taster session booked.
Thank you Shaun The effort you bring to classes is always appreciated. Not forgetting your sense of humour too!
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming box ;) We dropped in for one class while visiting friends in the area. Jack did a great job as coach and the other members were very nice as well. Awesome Location with good parking situation and the drop in price of 10£ is very fair compared to other boxes in the area. We will definitely be back!
Thank you Felix. It was great to meet you. Hopefully see you back here soon
Fantastic experience: We had a spontaneous drop-in at Golden Valley CrossFit and enjoyed the class with Jack very much. Super fair price for a drop-in and we felt very welcome. Legs hurt - workout was very good and effective :). We will come again, thank you!
Thanks Patricia! You did an amazing job for your first CrossFit session. Hope to see you again soon ☺️
