CrossFit^® Cheltenham

Fantastic experience: If you want results and find you quit the gym after a few weeks, go here instead!

Negative experience: DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE NEW! I would strongly advise against this CrossFit gym. I paid for a 3 month trial. I had to stop after several sessions because I sustained a significant back injury whilst deadlifting. The exercise was “5 rep max deadlifts”. I have informed the instructor I was new to deadlifting and did not have a number in mind, but he told me to go with a partner and do my best and I was unsupervised. I then injured my back mid-exercise, leading to a long and painful period of physiotherapy. When I asked to cancel my ongoing subscription, this was ignored and I was instead told to try CrossFit again. When I asked to cancel again my request was read but ignored. They have continued to take money from my account. I have had a really terrible experience and feel newcomers need to be warned.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed being a member at CrossFit Cheltenham until I moved location. The facilities are brilliant, great range of kit, very accessible and always clean and well maintained. The staff are all approachable, incredibly knowledgeable and all the workouts are scaled to your own ability and level. The members are really friendly, inclusive and helpful too. It’s one of the best gyms I’ve been a member of, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Having only needing a two month membership due to moving location for a new job, I joined CrossFit Cheltenham and from the off, the coaches and owner were brilliant. Really welcoming, friendly, helpful and the box itself was spot on. Steve and the team have built a really welcoming and professional culture where everyone is valued where you are coached with excellent knowledge and experience which is invaluable. The members are also really friendly and this makes a huge difference in enjoying your time working out. The best CF box I’ve been a part of and would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to spend some weeks here while I was in the UK on holiday. Lovely environment that took me in with open arms. I want to give a special shout out to the coaches I met - Steve, Rachel and Will - who all gave me feedback, taught me new things and helped me improve my skills. I highly recommend going here, even if you are a beginner like me

Fantastic experience: A great workout!! Very friendly to beginners like me who have never tried CrossFit. Don’t be scared, they will welcome you in with open arms.

Fantastic experience: I had an awesome drop in session at Cheltenham CrossFit when visiting family! Coaching was top class and members were extremely welcoming! I will be back 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: Is OK

Fantastic experience: Truly outstanding. The coaches are skilful, knowledgeable and helpful. Classes are brilliant and results follow from the workouts that they prepare in advance . Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Best box in the world! Amazing community, professional staff and super coaches! I’ve been here for 5 years and I can’t see myself doing CrossFit anywhere else

Fantastic experience: Where to start! Firstly highly recommended. I’ve been coming here for 5 years and where I first started my CrossFit journey, I have loved every moment. The coaches have helped me grow and get stronger, they always make sure you have the foundations and know how to do the movements correctly. If you can’t do a movement they can show you how to adapt it. Not only are the coaches knowledgable they are also lovely! They support you and your goals and make you feel at home. Not only is this a great box, it’s a family. Thank you to all the coaches I have met at CrossFit Cheltenham. And thank you to Steve, Kylie, Rach and Vicky! You have built an amazing community.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and staff!

Fantastic experience: My go to drop in whenever I’m visiting Cheltenham. 2x/year for 3-5 classes at a time. Solid community and good programming. It might sound silly, but the warmups here are always world class. Too many times I drop in at other gyms and they throw you in ice cold.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant coaches and a lovely com community

Fantastic experience: Great Box! I've attended 3 of their predator series 3 of a kind competitions and they are great. So well organised, time efficient, fantastic programming and the team of staff are amazing!

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaches, scaling for all abilities, great supportive atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Really friendly club and Rach is a great coach.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic trainers and great equipment. Also helps that all the members are so lovely ☺️

Fantastic experience: We visited this box whilst staying here for a few weeks and couldn't recommend it more. The members are all really friendly and the coaches are excellent (we trained with Rachel, Will and did a weightlifting class with Charlie.) The space is great with a decent sized rig and we each had our own little squares marked on the floor to work out in due to covid. There is a vending machine selling noccos and you can also buy kit online which was really handy as I needed a new rope.

Fantastic experience: Professional, the environment is very good for a beginner

Fantastic experience: Pros - Excellent coaching which is attentive, patient and very easy to follow - High quality equipment which is well-maintained and feels sturdy and safe - Very very intense workout which yields results quickly, but leaves you feeling great! - Super friendly staff and members who really make you feel welcomed especially as a newcomer - Good value for money considering the level of expertise - Loads of like-minded people who are keen to push you in your workout but also make the whole experience super enjoyable Cons - None!! Bottom line - Crossfit is an incredibly workout that is so much fun but also gets you into great shape in no time at all! Check it out at this gym!!!

Fantastic experience: I've been an on-off CrossFitter for a number of years, and I keep coming back to this box. The classes are well structured, and the programming carefully considered to provide improvements across the spectrum. There's always an effort to run additional classes - barbell, strongman, and running classes are regularly available, as are specialist classes for specific skills. A great emphasis is put on new starters, with additional coaching available, induction and taster classes too. There's been great success around nutrition as well, with a fat loss club, appropriate vending machine options, and meal plan solutions available to order. The coaches themselves are well educated, friendly, and considerate. They offer personal training sessions tailored to the individual in ways I've not seen anywhere else. The competitions run are well organised, well respected, and we'll attended. There's also a fantastic osteopath and sports therapist working from the box. All in all, there's nothing missing from CrossFit Cheltenham if you're after a complete fitness experience.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and awesome community. Would love to visit again.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches and members!

Fantastic experience: This is a truest great place to train. The coaches are great, they give great advice and are always willing to help improve your strengths and weaknesses.

Fantastic experience: Top coaches and great facility.

Fantastic experience: Great box, great coaches and an electric atmosphere at comp weekends!

Positive experience: Great staff and varied exercises but very painful

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, went here for almost a year and improved so much due to great coaching.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Cheltenham offers a great place to work out with some great members. The coaches are highly skilled and experienced and are always on hand to offer assistance with Crossfit movements and training advice no matter what ability. Since becoming a member in 2015 I have noticed a vast amount of skill and strength progression with my training and I am looking forward to competing for the club in the near future. I would recommend anyone to come along to a taster session, meet the team and try out some movements, you'll never look back!

Fantastic experience: Kay and I joined late last year from quite different exercise backgrounds. I had played rugby and gone to the gym most of my life, and was used to cobbling together Crossfit workouts on my own in the corner of whatever gym would have me. Kay was fit and active having played lots of netball, but had virtually no gym experience. We were both welcomed immediately and brought into the Crossfit Cheltenham family. The standard and enthusiasm of the coaches meant that Kay was able to develop new strength and confidence with safe technique, and I was able to start undoing the bad habits I had developed after years of training on my own. Kay can now string together pull ups, press ups, handstand press ups, toes to bar, wall climbs, and many other skills that she could only dream of when she first arrived. She also has doubled her numbers across all the olympic lifts. As well as improving my overall strength, my conditioning has improved massively, but most pleasing is my gymnastic development. I can now do butterfly chest to bar pull ups, ring and bar muscle ups, and at long last, I can handstand walk. However the opportunities go way beyond just Crossfit classes. There are nutritional classes, specialised running, weightlifting and gymnastic classes, no end of social events as well as charity. Most of all though, it really is a community, a true Crossfit Family, and we have received nothing but support, encouragement and guidance every time we have walked through the doors! To anyone thinking of giving it a try, I could not recommend it highly enough. I have had the privilege of visiting many Crossfit boxes in the last year and Crossfit Cheltenham is right up there with the best. As we move up north, we would like to say thank you to all the coaches and members who made us feel so welcome, and we will definitely be visiting when we can.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, excellent community spirit, interesting and varied programming. Recommend trying a free taster session. For any women who might feel a bit shy about trying it out, check out the ladies-only sessions.
