Aphobos CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Aphobos CrossFit enough! When I first signed up, I had no background in CrossFit, but everyone was so welcoming that I just kept joining classes. The coaching team—Gemma, Danny, Emma, Lisa, and Tammy—are fantastic! They genuinely care about our progress and make every workout both challenging and enjoyable. The throw downs are something I look forward to every couple of months, creating a real sense of community and fun competition. One of the highlights of being part of this box is participating in the annual Battle Cancer event with #TeamAphobos. It’s an incredibly meaningful experience, and I'm so proud to be part of a team that comes together to make a difference. If you’re considering joining, take the leap—this place feels like home!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place, great coaches! Must try!

Fantastic experience: I love this place. Great trainers, really friendly members and a dedication to getting you stronger, more athletic and feeling great.

Fantastic experience: I have been a fitness coach for the last 10 years, I have come here for 10 months and learnt so much stuff …. From getting stronger to making some quality friends. It’s been great… I am a Aphobian

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about my CrossFit coach and the incredible team! They bring a perfect balance of motivation, strength, and fun to every workout. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, with a true sense of community where all levels, shapes, sizes, and ages feel empowered. My husband and I even use it for our date nights—nothing beats pushing each other and having fun together while getting stronger! Whether you're a beginner or experienced, you'll find the coaching, camaraderie, and encouragement to achieve your goals. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Amazing community, first class coaching and accessible for all abilities. Before joining Aphobos I had never been to a gym before, had no idea about weights and what to do with them. After having 2 kids, my body was falling apart and I decided to give CrossFit a go to help my strength and mobility. It's now been a year and joining Aphobos has been a life changing decision and I have loved every minute of it! (Well, maybe apart from burpees and wall balls but even those are growing on me!) The community is lovely, every single person is so supportive. Don't hesitate to join and get started to bring out the best version of yourself! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Aphobos is one of the best CrossFit places in UK (and believe me I have tried most of them). Daniel is the strongest asset of Aphobos cause he loves a lot what he does but also loves and supports all the athletes as well. He is very supportive, coach and also a mentor with a great talent to help you to discover all your skills!

Fantastic experience: Great place/venue/community/vibe/team. Highly skilled coaches. Fundamental course is a real must and great introduction to CrossFit. Very easy to use app to sign up for classes. Intense well thought out workouts/programmes ie.WODs, shoulder rehab etc which your body and fitness is later very thankful for ;)Thank you Aphobos x

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Super friendly owners and coaches. Amazing equipment. Super clean and well air conditioned. Great changing rooms. They even have off-street parking! I’d go here multiple times a day if my body could survive that many WODs ️‍♂️

Fantastic experience: Amazing place train with great facilities and outstanding coaches. Perfect if you are at the beginning of your journey or already an accomplished athlete, trainings a designated to accommodate everyone’s needs.

Fantastic experience: Joining Aphobos has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I was looking for something that would keep me motivated and excited about staying active, and Aphobos has done just that! I love the varied workouts and the supportive environment. I’m constantly learning and developing my abilities, and 9 months in I can’t imagine my life without it! The coaches are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and always attentive. Aphobos creates a strong sense of community with frequent social events that make the gym feel like more than just a place to work out, which has made getting fitter so much more enjoyable for me. Beyond the regular CrossFit classes, they also offer strength & skill, gymnastics, and weightlifting classes. I highly recommend Aphobos to anyone looking to improve their fitness in a fun and welcoming environment, with expert guidance!

Fantastic experience: A lovely high energy CrossFit location, in Bromley with rear parking. Unusually very high-level of Cleaning and tidy place compared to other locations I have been at. Good facilities and showers. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great organisation, community, and coaching. Pleasure to train and learn there. Movement, form and workouts are on point

Fantastic experience: Friendly and fun Quality coaching Amazing huge newly built space The coaches are really caring and put all they’ve got into what they do at the box, such an amazing and lovely people I joined Aphobos more than a year ago when I just moved to Uk and it’s been the best thing I did, every one there made me feel so comfortable and fit in the new environment, lovely and caring people with good understanding of quality in what they do Can’t recommend enough

Fantastic experience: An excellent crossfit gym, with excellent coaches, maintaining the highest standards in a friendly and welcoming environment. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: My home away from home for the last 5 years… great community, fantastic coaching team and as good as it gets as a CrossFit box.

Fantastic experience: Very nice box with great coaches. Free introduction, followed up by 4x 1on1 sessions with fundamentals. After this I joined regular classes and love it!!!

Fantastic experience: Love it here and wish I’d joined sooner. I feel so welcome by everyone. All the coaches are so knowledgeable it feels more like a 1-1 than a group class. I cannot recommend it enough, as anyone whoever asks me will know. Thank you Danny, Gemma, Alex and George

Fantastic experience: I have always valued the high level of coaching standards at Aphobos. The team understand the importance of the foundation movements, in order to then progress. There is always a sense of community amongst the coaching team and the members. I love training here and would definitely recommend it to those who want to give crossfit a try and see results.

Fantastic experience: It's one of the best crossfits that I've been. Lots of knowledge, amazing community, coaches always ask if you have any injury to give you an option scales and the best workout to suit you. We feel welcoming, so I really recommend it even for those who have never tried it before. ;)

Fantastic experience: Before starting, I wasn’t sure whether I could fit in to that formidable environment. However, I decided to take on that challenge and just jump straight into it, in my mid age. After being here for the last 10 months, I’ve found that my initial image of Aphobos was wrong. All the coaches there provide very professional tailored advice to us all. Every individual there has a different goal and strives in achieving it. I am happy for my accomplishments so far, as I continue to maintain my fitness stats (up to athlete level). Additionally, thanks to Aphobos, my mobility and metabolism levels go back to when I was younger, many years ago!!

Fantastic experience: I won’t lie, being over 50 and having various ailments I thought I was finished! Apparently not. Aphobos show they are incredibly knowledgable on the human body and there’s always a scaled alternative for someone to do in the class. It never matters what the other person is doing just to do the session and just feel that progression. I still have a v long way to go but I’m loving it.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Aphobos CrossFit! The facilities are top-notch with all the equipment needed for CrossFit and Olympic weightlifting. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help you progress. But what sets Aphobos apart is its amazing community—supportive, welcoming, and genuinely committed to helping you succeed. Hands down the best CrossFit gym I've ever been a part of!

Fantastic experience: I joined Aphobos aged 57 with the intention to focus on functional fitness and battle the inevitable natural strength deterioration that happens from mid-age. I called it my ‘war against a walker’. I am now 60+ and train 5-7 times a week at Aphobos across the range of classes the gym offers. I never imagined I would gain the amount of EXTRA strength I have and be doing gymnastic movements. The word Aphobos means brave (without fear) and joining this gym has changed my mental health as well as physical - the level of coaching and encouragement within the community is exceptional. In 3.5years I have never felt underestimated by any coach or member. CrossFit is for anyBODY and if you trust the process, you will find all you need is right here in one place with structure, belief, appropriate scaling, amazing facilities and coaches, and encouragement to enable you to be the best version of yourself, not only in the classes but in daily life also. Proud to be called an Aphobos Athlete!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with amazing coaches! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Aphobos hosted the Adaptive & Inclusive Trainer course to help fitness trainers be able to work with people with disabilities. This should tell you enough about the kind of gym staff and community they have! Facility is amazing! - Very clean, organized and has all the gym equipment you could possibly want. - Lavatory has showers for people who need to head to work afterwards. Programming & Coaching - I was only visiting for a few days but the workouts were very well programmed! - the coaches actually coach! - every workout had a thoughtfully planned warmup and coaches were able to scale and modify as needed for everyone

Fantastic experience: Outstanding coaching Team and community ethos within the box!!

Fantastic experience: Super grateful for all the coaches here, they work really hard and are very supportive <3

Fantastic experience: By far the best training I’ve ever done, started because I had an injury at football, wished I’d left that and done this years ago! If you’re undecided! Do it you won’t regret it

Fantastic experience: The best gym I have ever used. All coaches are amazing, fantastic atmosphere and killer workouts Love every single thing about it.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member since January, love the classes and the aphobos trainers; they provide a really personal training experience. 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: Great bunch of trainers who are supportive and welcoming of all skill levels and age groups. Welcoming environment, culture and great facilities too. Never going back to a gym again!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Aphobos for just under a year. All I can say is that it’s been an unbelievable 10 months of growth. An amazing box and community. Massive thank you to the Aphobos coaches!!

Fantastic experience: Aphobos CrossFit is an exceptional fitness destination. With knowledgeable trainers, a well-equipped facility, and a supportive community, it offers an incredible experience. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a lot of gyms in the past but have never felt as genuinely valued as a member as I do here. All the coaches are so knowledgeable and passionate which transfers to both a great, enjoyable experience and also working hard and achieving goals - whatever those might be. The facilities are great, the programming exceptional and the community one of a kind. I can’t recommend Aphobos enough!

Fantastic experience: Aphobos CrossFit Bromley are the most welcoming Box i have ever been to. Not only do they coach you in all the aspects of strength, mobility and speed, they also help you work on goals you may have and are always challenging you to be better than you were before you arrived at each class. The team are professional, very knowledgeable and always fun to be around. They make you feel welcome no matter what background you are or what sport you come from. I would encourage anyone wanting to better themselves to give them a go, I am so glad i did.

Fantastic experience: Amazing box, I can't recommend these guys enough! Always professional, upbeat, passionate, they have so much knowledge and are such great people. Lots of focus on technique and the programming is really varied and fun. They do everything to bring out your best performance and help you to constantly improve. Loads of classes on each day and never a day with no class at all. Aphobos has so much more than just a workout, they also offer nutrition, rehab advice, massages Best thing about Bromley

Fantastic experience: Aphobos is amazing. I’ve always been interested to try CrossFit but was previously content plodding along with gym and home workouts. A couple of months ago I took the plunge and it’s been absolutely brilliant, non-CrossFit workouts will just never feel the same again! The coaches are brilliant at what they do, attentive, fun, hugely welcoming, and know how to get me to push myself! Such a friendly vibe and I come out every time feeling hyped, can’t recommend this place enough

Fantastic experience: Great box, great coaches. Just brilliant!

Fantastic experience: Really fun, supportive environment for all abilities. They really made me feel welcome and it's really addictive!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant coaches and community of Cross fitters it does not matter your age or gender whether sports in any form has or not been part of your life there's a spot waiting for you! What are you waiting for? Come and see for yourself...its now a part of my life at 63yrs old!!!

Fantastic experience: I joined aphobos to take my fitness journey to the next level. I’ve always trained just lifting weights and wanted more from my workouts. From the off danny, Alex, emma and Gemma were faultless. My mind was blown with the level of care and attention to detail with technique on all forms of exercises and lifting. I have restricted movements in my ankles from birth and instead of feeling not good enough the whole team scale movements and show a level of care that is unprecedented. You are treated as an individual rather than just a number in the box. Can’t fault it. Changed my life for the better. Not just fitness and mobility wise but mentally also. Love it. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I joined Aphobos October 2021. Before this I had ran a number of marathons and middle distance triathlons, but had never really done any weight training. What Gemma, Danny and all the team have created at Aphobos is very special. It’s a great environment to train with people of all ages, ability, shapes and sizes training together and encouraging each other. The training is really varied and fun and the coaches are experts in getting you moving safely and effectively. I have always had a number of persistent mobility issues and back pain; since joining Aphobos the coaches have all taken time to help me improve my mobility (including a one on one assessment) and tailoring workouts to allow me to get the most out of the session whilst being mindful of any tightness or restrictive movement. They’ve also introduced me to and worked alongside a great chiropractor to make sure they are fully aware of any issues. I couldn’t recommend them enough, a huge thank you to Gemma, Danny, Alex, Emma and Maison for all your hard work. My only regret is I didn’t join sooner!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic CrossFit gym. Coaches are highly knowledgeable and experienced and the programming is tough, but always fun. Coaches go out of their way to ensure everyone is performing at their own capacity and level; all are welcome and catered for, from beginners to experienced athletes. The community is friendly and inspiring. Best CrossFit box around.

Fantastic experience: "Crossfit is for everyone" is something Aphobos absolutely deliver. I've come from a background of no fitness to consistently attempting things I never thought I could achieve. Coaches are fantastic, really believe in you, and help you scale and tailor your movements so you get the most out of the programming and do a workout that tests you. Game changer. Thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: I have only been a member of Aphobos for a short time but have seen a huge difference in my fitness and strength! What makes this place super special is the group of coaches who genuinely believe in you and push you to be the best version of yourself. They give cues and words of encouragement when you least expect it but most need it. In addition, the community is fab! Having trained by myself for the last couple of years, being with a group of like minded people who are supportive, friendly and welcoming is amazing. The box itself is incredible and the programming keeps me on my toes! I genuinely look forward to every class and leave every class energised (and usually very sweaty!) For anyone thinking of joining, my advice would be just do it. Like many, I really wish I had started sooner!

Fantastic experience: I'm a really new member at Aphobos but I already want to recommend it to others! The coaches and members are super friendly and supportive which makes you feel like you're part of a community rather than just a member at a gym. All the coaches are really committed to helping every member reach their potential, regardless of what level you're starting out at. & You really feel that you're getting a lot 1-1 coaching, even in groups which makes all the difference to your technique and performance. Equally, there is generally such a positive atmosphere in the Aphobos box which pushes you to try your best and really challenge yourself. The facilities and equipment are also fantastic. The CrossFit programme is well organised, what more can I say...! :) I'd recommend Aphobos to all!

Fantastic experience: I started training at Aphobos 10 months ago and what a great decision this was! Previously to joining, I didn’t use to do any weight training at all, so I was a little nervous when joining. However, the great team of coaches at Aphobos really helped me build my confidence in the box and I can definitely see and feel an improvement in my physical body as well as my confidence around weights. Moreover, other members are always welcoming and the atmosphere while training is always buzzing !!

Fantastic experience: Great coaching, fantastic set up and great atmosphere. Couldn't recommend more!

Fantastic experience: Excellent box ,1st class coaching.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic coaching with such a friendly vibe, it is a place that helps you get better no matter what your starting point is. Facilities are second to none so get yourself there!

Fantastic experience: I recently joined Aphobos and i am so happy I found it! Such a fab gym, awesome coaches and with a great welcoming community. Really recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I have trained in several gyms and boxes and to be honest I have not seen people more passionate and caring about their jobs. It's amazing the quality of the box in technical and human terms. You try it, you gonna love it.

Fantastic experience: I’ve gone to a few CrossFit gyms over the years both in Bromley and central london. For me this gym isn’t comparable to others. Better coaches. Better owners. Better equipment even in the old box. And better members. When choosing gyms I didn’t even have to think as to which one I wanted to be a member of.

Fantastic experience: I love it here, it’s so friendly and the coaching is excellent, I have been improving at Aphobos since Jan 2016 and I’m still not bored, in fact I’m loving it more every month. Loads of different focus classes, Gymnastics, anaerobic conditioning, skills improvement sessions weightlifting, yoga, mobility alongside the usual crossfit sessions. If you’ve never tried Crossfit, this is the place to come but beware it’s addictive

Fantastic experience: I joined Aphobos nearly two years ago and I cannot fault it. All the staff are amazing and go above and beyond to check in on you, encourage, motivate and challenge you! You will make friends for life so if you’re considering starting something totally new or returning to CrossFit this is the place!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Aphobos CrossFit since March 2019. From the moment you join the coaches know your name and you are made to feel extremely welcome. The coaching team (Gemma, Danny, Vanessa, Tommy, Alex and Scott) are all brilliant - not only technically proficient but great communicators too. Their main focus is getting you moving in a safe and effective manner before encouraging you to give of your best in some very challenging workouts. CrossFit is a fantastic way to not only improve your fitness, reduce stress and boost your mood, but to do it in an environment which is fun, social and supportive for all (including those who, like me, are not very athletic). The other members are a lovely bunch and very diverse - you will find young & old, male & female, a very wide range of abilities, people from all walks of life - each one contributes something special to make Aphobos such a great place. The gym facility ('box' in CrossFit speak) is large and well equipped. Aphobos is so much more than just a gym though - it's like a big family of fitness geeks who really get behind you and care about your development and wellbeing. If I could give them 6 stars I would! Keep up the great work.

Fantastic experience: I am 57 and joined Aphobos in September 2020 after more than 25 years of inactivity. I have found a many of the workouts difficult but in all cases the coaches have scaled the exercises so that I can join in with the rest of the class. At no stage have I felt neglected as soon as I struggle the coach changes my exercise to allow me to continue. It is a slow process but I am improving. From day one I have felt included and encouraged by Danny, Gemma and the coaches as well as the other members.

Fantastic experience: Gemma & Danny have created such an amazing space, atmosphere and community at Aphobos CrossFit. Everything they do is for the benefit of the members and they truly care about all of us. The coaching from every single one of the coaches is amazing - they take time to make sure everyone is comfortable and form is spot on and always help you to progress. The members are all friendly and it’s all about supporting one another! I absolutely love coming to Aphobos and look forward to every single session, I always leave with a smile on my face too! I can very highly recommend Aphobos CrossFit to anyone of any level of fitness as the workouts can be scaled accordingly! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: I joined Aphobos CrossFit in Sept 20. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, professional and are all dedicated to supporting people to reach their potential through CrossFit. I feel looked after, where nothing is to much trouble. The box is a wonderful place to train with excellent facilities and I find the other members very friendly.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym the equipment is great, but the staff is even better, very supportive and helpful, just a great community of people!

Fantastic experience: Aphobos is the best!

Fantastic experience: Aphobos CrossFit is amazing, best thing I have done for my body. Excellent trainers and be prepared to work hard!!, but it’s worth it!! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, friendly members and an amazing new facility. To say the classes are challenging would be the understatement of the century, but the coaches always provide scaling options so they're suitable for everyone.

Fantastic experience: I became a member at Aphobos mid-September, and have been coming 3-4 times a week since then. I love it!! Well most of the time. Ive never exercised properly, or often enough to make a difference, but now that my kids are a little bit older I felt it was time I invested back in myself. Ive been a gym avoider most of my life. - I ended up choosing CrossFit because it looked harder than the average bootcamp, and I wanted to do something where I’d see results quickly. I’ve tried various things before; PT, boot camps etc but didn’t go often enough or take it seriously enough to ever notice a difference. The main differences at Aphobos CrossFit are: The workouts - they change daily so a) I don’t get bored and b) I get to exercise different bits each time. The coaches - I never stop being impressed by the knowledge each of them has. It’s their passion and it shows. They’re a cut above anything I’ve previously experienced; they’re not you’re average instructor at the gym, popping you on the treadmill for a 20 minute warm up. They're on you - checking/adjusting what you’re doing. They’ve scaled each exercise to my ability, so every time I do a class I know I’m in safe hands and can put my trust in the coaches enough to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. The atmosphere - everyone is welcoming and helpful. There are no egos. Everyone is doing their own thing and no one pays much attention to what anyone else is doing. I remember my first fundamental session focussed on squat technique. Once we were done I couldn’t even get down the stairs without holding onto the wall. 3 months in and I’m in much better shape. I couldn’t do a burpee either. I can now... just about. I’m nowhere near where I’d like to be fitness-wise, but hey I started late (I’m the wrong side of 40). I can feel the progress though. CrossFit has brought about some pretty big changes for me. I go a minimum of three times per week... unheard of until now. I even get up before 5am to go to the early sessions. Sometimes I check myself in the rear view mirror as I drive home from a class, and barely recognise myself. Who is this person... exercising willingly at silly o’clock in the morning? And enjoying it!! CrossFit has been a game changer for me. So happy to have discovered it.

Fantastic experience: I’ve used gyms since an early teen, however never had the support I have had at aphobos and I’ve only been there since November! I’ve struggled with my weight for several years now, but today I finally bought a pair of size 10 jeans, I haven’t fitted into these for at least 8 years!! To say I love this place is a massive understatement and no review can do this team any justice. Check them out for yourself.

Fantastic experience: I had never done Crossfit before so was a little apprehensive about what to expect but it's been the best decision to join! The coaches are so patient and knowledgeable and the community is amazing. Everyone I have met has been so welcoming and helpful that I can't wait to go and do more! Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: An amazing place!! I have been with Aphobos for nearly two years now and the effect it has had on me is incredible. Before I joined I deemed myself fairly fit through playing sport previously but Aphobos has taken me to another level. A great sense of community and set of coaches at the box who really care for their members, highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I only joined a couple of months ago and although I started with a good fitness level, I have already noticed huge improvements, particularly in the quality of my movements. What makes Aphobos stand out is that they are truly welcoming of everyone regardless of age or experience and will help you find a way to continuously progress. They obviously care a lot about what they do and I would definitely recommend trying it out!

Fantastic experience: ‘One hundred percent YES’ is what I would say if you are thinking of giving CrossFit a go, I’m a newbie, unfit and shockingly inflexible so I can confirm this really is for everyone! What I love most is the enthusiasm, support, reassurance and genuine faith ALL the coaches have in you! They provide a tailored service all the way with your goals in mind, everything is paced with safety in mind too. Great community, definitely feels like a family with no judgement and 100% encouragement. Don’t think just do it! and have some fun along the way x

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Aphobos for 3.5 years now, and it has become such a huge part of my life. Not only am I in the best shape I have ever been in, but I have made some amazing friends who will always be some of my closest. The coaching at Aphobos is unparalleled, I am forever impressed by the knowledge the coaches have. The atmosphere is also one of the best I have ever experienced. The community is so strong. Top of my social life highlights now are the big socials we have, it is like having a second family. During the lockdown because of Covid-19, Aphobos virtual box has been my saving grace. The spontaneity and creativity the coaches had from the start took all of us by surprise I think. They have created a virtual box SO well that it is almost as if they knew a lockdown was going to happen. The workouts are just as beasty, there are so many classes on offer for all abilities, and the coaches still do an amazing job - how I don’t know, it must be tough, but they take it in their stride. I honestly couldn’t imagine my life without Aphobos now, I’ve loved every moment. Bring on the next 3.5 years!

Fantastic experience: This place is just amazing.. starting from the head coaches to the members.. Incredible atmosphere. I have been with Aphobos for almost a year and I have never enjoy so much a place. They treat you as part of the family!!!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say or recommend the team and community at Aphobos enough. They scale to your personal abilities, push you to the next level and encourage you every step of the way. If you’re thinking of giving CrossFit a go this is the place to come to!

Fantastic experience: Aphobos is such a great community - everyone is so welcoming and it's such an incredibly diverse environment- all ages/races/gender. They've also changed the way I look at fitness- I've never felt stronger!

Fantastic experience: This place is a gym like no other. All the coaches look after every aspect of your fitness and athletic performance including nutrition , mobility, strength , endurance but most importantly they are always there to just give a friendly helping hand . Dan is fantastic and has helped me so much getting over some personal hurdles and improving my confidence in the gym. If you want an all round service , this is the gym for you.

Fantastic experience: An absolutely fantastic training environment. With Crossfit growing exponentially over the past few years it’s easy for gyms to focus on elite athletes, wanting to develop competitors and forget about the core audience for Crossfit. Aphobos absolutely has those killer athletes but the focus on the community and helping everyone grow has been really refreshing and seems engrained in everything they do. The coaches are top class and the programming is aligned with building strong foundations and core mechanics, which is exactly what CF is about. Scaling is not a bad word here! Also the community here is second to none - the Team WODs on Sunday’s are a highlight! Highly recommend whether you have been doing CF for years or want to give it a try.

Fantastic experience: I have been using this box for just over 3 months now and cannot recommend it highly enough. The workouts are hard but due to a mixture of incredible coaching and programming, it's a huge amount of fun. The best bit tho is the people you train with. So supportive and a really great group of people. Thanks Aphobos

Fantastic experience: Great gym, highly recommended. Danny and the team have made me welcome from day one. All the other members are also very friendly and great community feel. The only bad thing is boy do they make you sweat, if you are gym newbie or a seasoned gymer prepare to be challenged in every lesson and leave with a smile on your face.

Fantastic experience: Has completely changed my training experience since starting just four months ago. The coaching is fantastic and Danny and Gemma create a real community environment. Great people at every class who will support you every step of the way. If you are thinking about starting CrossFit - this is the place to do it!

Fantastic experience: I''ve been going for a few years now and would recommend to anyone regardless of experience. I'd never got on with run of the mill gyms but the training and the coaches really set Aphobos apart. It's fun, its social, it's hardwork and it's a level of technical education that everyone should have. If you're thinking about it I'd say just go for it and see what it's about!!

Fantastic experience: So I am new to this Crossfit lark and all I can say is my first impressions are how inviting and knowledgeable the coaches are. It’s hard to walk into a new place and feel comfortable straight away - everyone within the box is also inviting - so that welcoming feeling is carried on through the clientele. So my first impressions are professional / friendly / hard work / fun / top of their game! Everything I hoped it would be. So thanks for my first 3 weeks I will be so excited to see how i progress as time goes on!!

Fantastic experience: Aphobos Crossfit is probably the best thing that’s happened to me ever. I joined the box in December’18 and thanks to the amazing coaches I’ve lost 15kg since Christmas. Through a combination of the workouts and changes in my nutrition with the amazing Matt Hodges. I feel my confidence growing each day and highly recommend this box !!! More than just workouts it’s the Tribe you never knew you needed. Bola

Fantastic experience: Joined Aphobos mid February 2019 with the goal to lose weight and become fitter. Only 2 and months in and I'm feeling 10x fitter than when I joined and a lot lighter. Really friendly coaches there to help you become the fittest and healthiest person you can be. Would 100% recommend Aphobos to anyone thinking of joining!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a supportive and welcoming CrossFit gym - this is it! I’ve been with Aphobos for about 3 months now and I have been supported to grow stronger mentally and physically. Instructors are friendly and always on hand to give advice or push you harder to reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: I was recommended this gym by my work friend and it was the best thing I’ve done all year. As a complete fitness novice, it was intimidating but Aphobos lives up to its name of having no fear. You’re in the best hands with all the coaches. The community and people I’ve met have all been so friendly and welcoming. They also inspire me to push myself when I see their achievements. A special shout out to Vanessa and Remi, who started me on my journey, taught me the movements and shared their love of CrossFit. Also Danny, who always makes me laugh, shares his knowledge and is able to tailor the workouts to people like me and those that have a high level of fitness. Finally to Matt, thank you for teaching me and sharing your expertise, as well as motivating and caring for me when I think I can’t do something. No-one is ever ‘too fit’ or ‘fit enough’ to do the workouts with ease, even those with a high level of fitness experience have found the workouts tough. But, having done 3 months so far, I can say that anyone with any level of fitness will be able to do the workouts as long as you’re willing to listen and give it your best.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with AphobosCrossFit since the October ‘18 and have not looked back! Absolutely love it. What sets them apart from the other CrossFit boxes I’ve attended (which are great!) is the emphasis on mobility and technique. The class frequency has also increased and that’s perfect for my schedule. The workout plans are consistent and well scaled for all abilities. Workouts are also scaled if you are returning from injury. What I’ve also seen is every coach and member build each other up consistently. Lots of happy people in one place. The newly qualified coaches are mentored and flourish in confidence. Do a trial class, get your foot through the door and you’ll become stronger and happier!

Fantastic experience: I have never had to motivate myself to workout since joining Aphobos because I genuinely look forward to every session! The coaches are amazing: an esoteric understanding of what they do and always on hand to ensure your form is perfect and you're getting the most out of the workout. As an absolute beginner to crossfit I cannot recommend Aphobos enough. A diverse range of members with a diverse range of goals. A genuinely supportive and positive community to be a part of!

Fantastic experience: An outstanding box and coaches!!! Having been with Aphobos for a few months I can wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone! Aphobos goes beyond a crossfit box were members simply turn up to train and exercise, the coaches will all take a vested interest in each individual members goals and give nothing less than 100% of their time and effort to help everyone achieve it, with detailed help on a variety of different topics such as diets, nutritional advice and mobility. This is furthered by all the members bringing extremely positive mentalities into the box and make it a place where people of all ages and experience are very welcome and encouraged to achieve their best.

Fantastic experience: Joined in February this year and haven’t looked back since. Plenty of classes, both morning and evening. Workouts are tough, but learning from great coaches and training with a great people makes it fun.

Fantastic experience: Been a member for the past 3 months and the difference they have made to my general strength and ability is crazy. I recommend them to everyone and even my daughter is starting their children's class. Don't take my word for it do a free taster class you will be hooked.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in this morning to get to know the coaches and the box and they're absolutely wonderful and welcoming. I was never left alone, the coaches followed me during the session. They're so kind. Can't wait to join you for the next two months!

Fantastic experience: After watching CrossFit on Amazon and NetFlix over the last 12 months and being wowed/overawed/scared by what these athletes do, I decided to give CrossFit a try myself. I am 5 weeks into it, very much at the point of the learning all the things I can't (yet) do each time I go, but lucky enough to have found Aphobos (it means 'Without Fear' in ancient Greek I learned). CrossFit is hard (!) work, but the coaches at Aphobos make it immensely enjoyable too, pushing you whilst encouraging you, and recognising that people are at very different levels of strength and mobility. The atmosphere is massively supportive during the classes, it's fun (well maybe not on the 80th burpee), and the variety of exercises they get you doing makes it immensely addictive. Who knew I would ever look forward to my alarm going off at 5:30 am to go exercise?!

Fantastic experience: I joined just under a year ago and it’s been great. The coaches at Aphobos understand where you are with your level of fitness and mobility and they will help you build it from there. A common misconception is that you “already have to be fit to do Crossfit” - it’s not the case nor the reality. The coaches recognise that everyone is at a different level and will tailor the exercise specific to your ability. So leave your ego at the door...go....do what you can and you’ll see the improvements you want to see and just remember, in an hour it will all be over...until tomorrow! They will push you but that’s exactly why I go, I just wish I’d started earlier.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member since January this year and it has been an amazing year at Aphobos so far! Everyone is really friendly; I’ve been made to feel right at home. The workouts are always challenging, fun and get the best out of you. I could go on for ages but the best way to find out is to pop down and find out for yourself.

Fantastic experience: I started Aphobos CrossFit in April 2018. My goal was to loose weight and get my muscle definition back. In 4 months I’ve lost 3 stone and my definition is back, thanks to the coaches and training at Aphobos. I’ve learnt how to do things technically correct, and learnt some great skills. They make everyone feel welcome, more so than the average gym, even a person like me who loves anything pink and sparkly and can be a bit ditsy around the box. It’s the best move I’ve ever made.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for a month now so thought I'd leave a review for any would-be CrossFitters looking to join Aphobos! I was interested in signing up after watching the CrossFit documentary "The Redeemed and the Dominant". It's an inspiring documentary which ticked all the boxes of everything I was looking for in a fitness programme - high intensity training mixed with gymnastics and weight training. I was also feeling a bit bored at my current gym - as great as it is, everyone works out by themselves, it lacks community spirit and there's little motivation to really push yourself so I was looking for something new. I emailed Aphobos and within 24 hours they invited me down for a free session where I met one of the trainers, Dan. He introduced the philosophy behind Aphobos and what they're about whilst at the same time asking what my goals were. I have to say I instantly clicked with Dan, he's a really great person to be around. Everyone should have a Dan in their life - he will inspire you, make you laugh and work you hard to reach your goals. At the end of the introduction, you get given a mini WOD (workout of the day) at the Box (CrossFit gyms are called Boxes). I couldn't believe how unfit I was just doing the mini WOD - if there's one thing that CrossFit does well it's making you realise how much you can improve! After the introduction, I signed up to the 'Level 1 Fundamentals' course which runs for 2 weeks. You have to do this before you can become a member to learn some of the basic core movements of CrossFit. This is so you can work out safely and correctly, ensuring you don't injure yourself. I really like this aspect of Aphobos; they really care about their members and make sure that you're doing CrossFit correctly. During this period, I met other beginners who were really friendly. I had a great time during the course and learnt a huge amount about CrossFit and myself and made some friends along the way! After the fundamentals course I signed up as a full time member and now go regularly during the week. The facilities are great, Aphobos really care about their Box. It's been recently refurbished and there's always loads of equipment available during a class (which are typically 10-14 people). Some of my favourite classes are the Team WOD (where you have to work as a team to get through the prescribed (RX'd) number of repetitions and weight) and the Lift Thursday. There are lots of classes available during the week and these can be scheduled really easily using an app you can install on your phone. The community at Aphobos is second to none, everyone is friendly and we motivate each other to work hard during a session. The trainers (Gemma, Dan and Tom) are lovely people to be around, really professional and knowledgeable in what they do. Aphobos caters for all ages of varying fitness levels. Workouts can be "scaled" (modified) to suit your current level of fitness and strength. The trainers stay on top of your progress and will scale you accordingly so you're not left wondering what you should be aiming for. There's a huge amount to learn in CrossFit which keeps the classes varied. Every time I've been to Aphobos I've done a different workout. Classes last an hour and generally consist of a body prep, strength piece, and finally the daily WOD. It can be a bit overwhelming at first, but with regular attendance you will soon get into the routine of what to do and learn all the lingo (RX'd, WOD, Hero WOD, AMRAP, METCON, DU, Kipping). For any of you feeling apprehensive and pondering whether CrossFit is for you, my advice to you is just try it for a month at Aphobos. You will be amazed how quickly your body adapts to new functional movements and high intensity. After one month I've gone down two belt sizes whilst remaining the same weight and my abs have been worked so much I can now get out of bed without using my hands! CrossFit is hard work and Aphobos will make you leave with nothing, but in the long run you will reap the health benefits. Hopefully see you down the Box! Dave

Fantastic experience: After having a baby 3 years ago, I knew I wanted something different for my training so embarked in joining a gym as most people would do but it always was the same story, after an initial burst of motivation I would give up and not return to the gym until I would feel bad about myself again and the cycle would repeat itself.. I came across crossfit when a friend of mine mentioned it, looked it up and instantly thought I will never be able to do that!! But curiosity got the better of me and I dropped into the box to check it out before committing to anything and met the Owner Gemma and Johnny in the box. They were super friendly and I knew straight away there was something different about this place, so came in for a trial… I was apprehensive but decided to sign up about 2 months ago and wish I had done years ago!! Where do I start, I cannot pinpoint one single thing in particular that makes Aphobos such a great place to train! For me, the quality of coaching is what makes me come back week after week. I have learnt so much about technique and mobility but session after session Danny knows how to push and motivate you when you don’t think you have anything left in the tank! I am impressed at how coaches know where you are and what you can do fitness-wise so they can take you even further every time! The other thing that makes crossfit and Aphobos in particular different is the community there. From day 1 I was welcomed by all members, and I love that I have met people with such different backgrounds and different levels of fitness but all share common fitness goals. Never ever have I felt judged or made to feel uncomfortable, everyone is super friendly, supportive and helpful! You can tell the coaches care about the box (it looks sleek and lovely after some recent tlc) and the community which makes it even nicer to be part of! Anyway, this is my journey with Aphobos so far, I am quickly getting addicted to this place having so much fun as well as working hard and I am excited to see where it takes me!! If you are hesitating, don’t and come start, you won’t regret it!!

Fantastic experience: At Aphobos I have never known a more passionate and professional group of staff who become more than just mentors, as they welcome everyone into their CrossFit family with open arms. I am new to crossfit and I absolutely love it. The challenges that Danny, Tom and Gemma give us, and the way that you are encouraged and driven to work as hard as you can is an atmosphere like I’ve never known anywhere else. I recommend Aphobos to everyone, and am looking forward to following and being a part of Aphobos’ journey.

Fantastic experience: This gym has quite possibly changed my life. Great staff, amazing group of people; #Aphobosfamily #Lifechanger

Fantastic experience: The place maybe small but amazing coaches make up for it. Love Aphobos ❤️
