White Cliffs CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: I started at White Cliffs CrossFit in 2017 with my partner at the time, he had watched a documentary and thought it looked good, and we both needed to lose weight for our wedding. Well 7 years later here I am. I’m the strongest and fittest I have ever been in my life, and have made several life long friends along the way. I would recommend White Cliffs CrossFit to anybody, whether it’s to get fit, get strong, lose weight or just to try something different!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches and a great facility!

Fantastic experience: I can’t begin to thank these guys enough. I started CrossFit around 4 months ago as I was needed to keep my fitness during my basketball offseason. I initially had reservations about attending as I am a full time wheelchair user, due to this I get extremely anxious in new environments.However, my worries were quickly resolved. They were so welcoming and even though they had never had a wheelchair user before, they have always done their best to insure that I am tested to the maximum of my capabilities, as well as understanding the limitations I may have. The whole environment and members are so welcoming and supportive. CrossFit has now become a highlight of my day, giving me a chance to test myself on a level playing field with my abled bodied counterparts. Not only do I look and feel better through the amazing programming. I have been able to get in out my car better, go up and down stairs easier and has made the day to day tasks that wheelchair users face that little bit easier. So, thank you Ben, Ryan and Jamie. Through your hard work you have improved my quality of life tenfold and no amount of stars can gauge how amazing this place is. I hope this review has given anyone dubious about joining, especially anyone with a disability or even someone who feels like fitness doesn’t cater to them, that final push to say “F@#k it” and it give it a go because it’s the best decision I have ever made.

Fantastic experience: Did a session in the gym. Really friendly instructor and members Huge space with loads of equipment. Crossfit gym with an old school vibe. Really enjoyed the workout.

Fantastic experience: Great team. Great equipment.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place! I remember walking in the day before WCCF was opening over in its original location in Dover. This was way back when there were only a few affiliates in Kent. I remember meeting Ben for the first time. He was extremely welcoming, friendly and very passionate about CrossFit which was so infectious. From then, I trained and competed with WCCF until I opened an affiliate of my own in Ashford, CrossFit Great Stour. We still keep in regular contact and I drop in from time to time. It always feels like home. Highly recommend to anyone in the local Folkestone area. You’ve got nothing to lose but so much to gain! Whatever your fitness level, give it a go!

Fantastic experience: I attended my first ever cross fit class yesterday at WCCF. Firstly I had a very comprehensive body composition test on an impressive piece of machinery followed by a cross fit class led by a very attentive trainer who checked in on me constantly throughout the session. Ben, the owner also kept a close eye on me giving teaching point and helping with technique. The rest of the class were very friendly, chatty and supportive of a newby throughout. Overall a extremely welcoming group. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Their open gym is the best place to train for Powerlifting and Calisthenics! The owners are very friendly and accommodating. They are so kind as to let me use their storage for my weights so that I can train at competition standards. Really grateful for their service. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Its BRUTAL but I love the feeling once you done :) Had my 1st session today - so excited to see my body and fit transformation :)

Fantastic experience: Been there 3 weeks and I love it I have a amazing coach in kirsty and love to go

Fantastic experience: I started cross fit for the first time 4 months ago and was nervous about joining as I had no clue about what to do. I had no reason to be as Ben and ALL the coaches are amazing - so patient, knowlegable and supportive - and what's more, so are the rest of the people who train there - everyone wants you to do your best and learn, and it doesn't matter how strong you are, if you're over weight or get confused about new moves - none of that matters! It's like a huge family full of lovely people who all want to exercise and want to have fun doing it. Whether you just want to get fit, lose fat, learn new skills or even compete, this is the best place to come and you'll be making new friends along the way - Love this place and couldn't recommend it more highly!

Fantastic experience: White Cliffs CrossFit is, by far the best CrossFit gym I have been to. I have been to many CrossFit boxes while travelling and WCCF supersedes every single one of them! Ben and the coaches are extremely professional and their knowledge is second to none. The membership is the cheapest I've come across with the most access to classes, seminars, coaching and more!!! I feel at home every time I walk through the doors. WCCF is No.1.

Fantastic experience: Not only a wonderful and welcoming community but some of the most experienced and professional coaches. WCCF not only physically challenges, but mentally challenges, helping to both improve mind and body! Would recommend to anyone looking to alter their lifestyle in a positive way!

Fantastic experience: Very skilled coaches, friendly environment Supportive group Love everything about White cliffs crossfit.

Fantastic experience: I came across this through an advert on Instagram. Usually I just scroll pass but something about this post felt right. My wife and I joined a 6 week programme to see what it was like. My wife is not a gym person or any other exercise to be Frank. But since joining crossfit she has changed her mind. White cliffs has a great community spirit and everyone that attends always makes an effort to say hey! The boss and the coaches are awesome and really accommodating. We felt welcomed from the beginning and always have a laugh! We actually travel further just to go to white cliffs (we have one closer), couldn't reccomend them enough!

Fantastic experience: Ben, Kirsty, Steve, Jamie & Ryan. You are all amazing...! My 11 year old daughter trains with you and I know you take the care and attention to work with a younger member in a safe, measured and controlled way. She absolutely adores you all - keep up the good work. Xx

Fantastic experience: Started doing the Lite sessions in March and haven't looked back since!! Such a friendly and supportive atmosphere with excellent coaches that help you scale each move to your own ability and motivate you to challenge that ability and progress!! Loving it so much I've even introduced my 4 year old to the kids gymnastics sessions...... he's also hooked!! Would highly recommend to anyone!!!!

Fantastic experience: A brilliant place to train, with excellent, knowledgable coaches!

Fantastic experience: Moving into the area 4 years ago I struggled to find the camaraderie I had back in the New Forest. I finally found it when I started emailing Ben and he invited me to the box. The people there are all so welcoming and friendly. The trainers are so knowledgable and help you with your goals. I cant thank Ben enough for what he has created at White Cliffs Crossfit. I have a sense of belonging, I love the people and my fitness levels are going from strength to strength. If you want a sense of belonging and be a part of something that will change your life then make that step come to the box and meet an amazing bunch of people.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and community, knowledgeable and supportive coaches. Fantastic place to train.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are very supportive and encouraging, has a great atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Been going for a month now and I love it! Gives you a real chance to push yourself with the help of the amazing coaches who couldn't be more supportive. Definitely recommend it!

Fantastic experience: One of the most rewarding communities I've had the pleasure of being part of. I started with very little experience but knew this option of fitness was the most suitable method of scaling my fitness. Everyone in the room gives it 100% and leaves it all on the floor. The staff are knowledgeable, experienced and certificated. The session booking options are simple. The group communication is always timely. I'm proud to be part of this group of go-getters.

Fantastic experience: Whatever your level if you're experienced or a beginner this Box has it all. Excellent, knowledgeable and encouraging coaches whose only goal is for YOU to succeed. Workouts can be tailored to suit individual needs, you will not regret walking through the door. This is a feel good community gym for all.

Fantastic experience: I have recently joined at WCC. The coaches are supportive and welcoming aswell their members. You never feel awkward and I look forward to attending future sessions.

Fantastic experience: For me personally it's the encouragement to keep pushing

Fantastic experience: Very good service and a good experience

Fantastic experience: Fantastic box, incredibly friendly and welcoming. The coaches are first class. Everything is always adaptable and scalable. I couldn’t ask for a better place to workout. A fantastic community to be a part of!

Fantastic experience: Had my first session on Monday and absolutely loved it! Everybody was so friendly, and the coaches are outstanding, nothing was too much trouble. Looking forward to my crossfit journey

Fantastic experience: Fantastic club. My two children love their class they do with Kirsty . What a wonderful place. Ben and Kirsty spend a lot of time working with the children and making sure they are supported within their training.

Negative experience: The guy who tried to sell us the dream forgot to mention what level we should start on and didn't show is the lite option we needed ripped my friend right off.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place, top people, great community

Fantastic experience: Great box, people and coach!! Cant wait to come back next time I'm in the area.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place with top Eleiko equipment and a great, friendly vibe. Will be back again!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in on the way out of the country last year and again this year, great atmosphere, great coaching, really inviting place, felt right at home.

Fantastic experience: The people here really welcoming and nice and the workouts are amazing. You won't regret going down for a session.

Fantastic experience: A great place to work out, coaches always helpful very knowledgeable also. Workout in a group and work on your weariness after in open gym.

Fantastic experience: Where do I start, like many others have already said, I was sceptical when my friend suggested that we try White Cliffs CrossFit. My main fear was that I felt I wouldn't belong there and that it was only a place for the fittest of the fittest. How wrong was I? Very!! Yes there are some extremely fit and dedicated Crossfitters there but there are many people starting out on their own personal missions with goals and objectives that they want to achieve, which was a bit like me. What first got me and the moment I stepped through the door was the welcoming nature of the BOX and the coaches. They take their time with every individual, coaching, advising and helping them get stronger not only physically but mentally. Their knowledge is unreal and this isn't just the Crossfit movements but also anatomy of the body, muscles and skeletal system. If you have any kind of mobility problems, they can normally tell you why and how to remedy it. On top of this, you've fellow Crossfitters who will encourage, motivate and push you to squeeze those reps and burpees out when you think you have nothing left in the tank. From being apprehensive at the start, I now hate missing just the 1 session and go 5 times a week and have formed some amazing friendships with the 6am crew (mad as they all are). This isn't just inside the BOX but outside. The sense of togetherness and family feel in the BOX is second to none and one that will not be rivaled anywhere else in Kent. If you want to test yourself, come on down and join WCCF and see for yourself. Once you WOD, you just won't stop!

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Crossfit by a friend who had been going for a good number of years previously. I was initially sceptical about going because I thought that a "gym" would be more suitable for my needs. However, after my first week I have never looked back. I enjoy the range of body movements and the variety of workouts that Crossfit provides . With a Gym you need to pay extra for a mentor, however at our BOX, every single session I am provided with tips and advice on how to improve my techniques. I have been going for about 9 months now, and in those months I have improved significantly form being a couch slum and overweight, to now being fit enough to pass ARMY fitness standards. I love the variety of body movements, the wide range use of equipment, how each movement does different things, to the atmosphere. I feel part of the (one and only) 6AM group (shout-out for the 6AM Bunch! WHOOP), and welcomed. Each time I attend, I am encouraged to push myself further and walking out at the end of a WOD, I am proud to have accomplished something (even it is just that one thing in the day). I would not have got to where I need and WANT to be without the coaches help, the encouragement each member provides one another and generally, the comradery within. F£$king best BOX EVER! P.S. Watch the video on their website - explains a lot.

Fantastic experience: What an atmosphere! Friendly environment with fully qualified trainers. Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: There is a strange "first day at school" feeling to your initial walk through the doors at WCCF, the fear of the unknown I guess. But the coaches are friendly and really passionate about helping you move the weights / perform the movements efficiently and effectively. You'll find everyone else there positive and encouraging, cheering you on to succeed. It's hard, really takes you to your limits and when you can finally move again you'll want to rush back for more.

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaching and facilities. Great value for money.

Fantastic experience: I am in the best shape I have ever been in thanks to this place. Brilliant coaches and brilliant atmosphere

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of spending a full day with the owner of this business, Ben Stroud. This guy isn't just about physical fitness he changes and transforms people's lives. If you become a member here you will have the privilege to train in a very unique environment that is driven by somebody who truly cares and has a passion for his guests.

Fantastic experience: Never thought I would be comfortable lifting weights but Ben, Kirsty and the rest of the coaching staff immediately put me at ease and nothing is too much trouble. Everything can be scaled for ability or injury and I always want to go and improve. Can't imagine not going to Whitecliffs Crossfit now

Fantastic experience: Incredible facilities and coaching, great atmosphere with very welcoming members. Training is always varied and enjoyable making it perfect for all levels of fitness!!!

Fantastic experience: After a friend recommending Crossfit to me and after getting the courage to WALK through the door , I've never looked back I've only been going 8 month but it's completely changed my body shape ..... Everyone is so Helpful and the coaches are always there to guide and make sure you are getting it right ...... I love this Place and HIGHLY RECOMMEND WCCF to everyone .... The best road I've taken in fitness.

Fantastic experience: It's changed my life!!! I started crossfit to lose weight and get fitter, I now go to crossfit because I love it and the community spirit is the best.

Fantastic experience: WCC...This place has managed to not only half the size of me, but change my outlook on many aspects. It has without a doubt broadened my horizon on all types of fitness, physical and mental. The coaches are all extremely knowledgeable and even with a full class they can make time for the individual. There are so many people from all different walks of life here and all so welcoming! A memebership was never money spent, it was an investment, to myself! This isnt your average gym, its much more! Take the leap and Check it out!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love it! Bit dubious at first when starting out but the coaches quickly settled any nerves and are truly excellent will always put ypur safety first! the atmosphere is always great! It's very addictive

Fantastic experience: really enjoy going here, doesn't matter how I'm feeling always feel better when i leave. the atmosphere is always top notch and everyone is really friendly. Most importantly the coaching is absolutely top notch. Always tweeking movements to make any movement easier. Would recommend this to anyone

Fantastic experience: great coaches and great atmosphere never looked since I stared in January. Should come Along and try it for your self every one makes you feel welcome so if you were like me and nervous about walking into a gym don't be

Fantastic experience: Been Crossfiting here for over three years and this place is truly something. Coaches are just amazing and have the best experience to guide you to perfect technique. Plus they're awesome down to earth people and I haven't met anyone in the place that I have not gotten on with. A truly wonderful community where working out is made fun through the encouragement of others. Would thoroughly recommend this place to anyone wanting to try something new, try a new crossfit box, or wanting to just enjoy their spare time. It's had a huge impact on my life so go and give it a try!

Fantastic experience: Great environment, knowledgeable coaches and always very welcoming. Wouldn't want to train anywhere else.

Positive experience: Great atmosphere, great coaches. Great to start off if you're a beginner or starting again!

Fantastic experience: excellent facility, great community atmosphere, the coaches are passionate about teaching and take a real interest in each individuals needs. As somebody from out of town working in Dover short term I still felt that Ben and his coaches put 100% into the sessions with me. I would recommend white cliffs crossfit to anybody

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love being part of this box. I was totally new to crossfit and tbh a little apprehensive about joining. I've been going for 12 months now and yet to meet an un-friendly member, a real supportive place to workout. The coaches are 5 star and "extremely" knowledgable. Always willing to offer help and guidance. Having never done weights as part of my previous workouts.... I'm hooked. Every workout presents a new challenge, the variation is brilliant! There's nothing to hesitate about joining, it's amazing fitness training in a really friendly environment. Be warned its addictive....love this place!!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Supportive coaches, great community and has helped me achieve so much more than I thought I could! Would recommend White Cliffs Crossfit to anyone and everyone

Fantastic experience: Having been to many gyms over the years and reaching various fitness levels, WCCF offers something more! WCCF offers a community of likeminded individuals who support, encourage, "push" and feedback on every session you attend! No matter what stage of fitness or what level you aspire to achieve WCCF has something for everyone. Both physical and emotional health is achieved within this community. I've made some amazing new friends and look at my own fitness and wellbeing in a totally different way now. What are you waiting for... Come see WCCF in action, you won't regret it

Fantastic experience: I went along as I felt I was no longer being challenged at the normal gym and after I started I was surprised to find out how much room I had to further myself. The coaches are very supportive and great at getting everything ounce out of you when it comes to the wods. Definitely would recommend for both fitness and social.

Fantastic experience: Epic place!!! Been going 18 months, achieved so much physically but more importantly made so many friends, it is a great community and Crossfit really is for everyone. Amazing coaches, amazing environment and constant support and encouragement no matter what your ability is. If you've ever wondered what it's like and have been putting off coming, just give it a go, walk through the doors and I guarantee you won't look back!!!!! Booooooom

Fantastic experience: I had never been to a CrossFit gym before joining White Cliffs CrossFit and didn't really know what to expect. The guys are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful - there enthusiasm for the sport is infectious. As a newbie I joined a few of the beginner classes to get to know the basics before moving on to the workout of the day (WOD). Every session is different so you cant get bored and you end up pushing yourself as you train in a group environment. If your thinking about joining or trying a class do it. I couldn't recommend White Cliffs CrossFit enough. Thanks to Ben and the Team.
