Cattle Dog CrossFit®: Opinions

Ellen Whitbread 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I first started Unit 22 three years ago, I always said “you’d never see me dead in gym shorts”. Unit 22 gave me the confidence to wear shorts in the gym. Unit 22 has created such a safe space for women and I feel confident and safe every time I step foot in this gym. As a woman, it’s so rare to find a gym that doesn’t make you feel intimidated by the people or by the weights, the coaches at unit 22 are always so lovely and happy to help, they all really care about your form and your health. Thank you to Unit 22 for always being such a safe and welcoming space <3

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Unit 22 now for over 3 years and I absolutely love it. Everyone is friendly, supportive and encouraging. It is so much more than a gym, there is a great sense of community. I really look forward to my training days and hate it if I have to miss them. It is great for both my physical and mental health. The classes are varied and fun and can be tailored to suit ALL abilities. There is also an open gym if you prefer to do your own thing. As for the coaches, they are coaches of many talents! To name just a few you have an osteopath, a specialist in women’s health, pre/post natal specialists, Mac nutritionist experts and a few of the coaches are also qualified in sports massage. It doesn’t matter what level of fitness you are all classes can be adapted. I have an injury so I have to adapt a lot of the programmed workouts and the coaches are always on hand to help me find an alternative.

Fantastic experience: Unit 22 is a very good gym to train at. The staff are very friendly and helpful, so are the members. If you are looking to a place to train in Northampton with a coach, look no more. Also, if you are looking to train individually , this will be very good choice, you will always have enough of equipment needed for strength & conditioning training!

Montana Larman 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined having just moved from another country and was instantly welcomed and encouraged, I’ve never been this fit and I have made such incredible friends.

Abbie Shorthouse 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic gym, I’ve always struggled with finding a love for exercise but it’s easy to fall in it love with it here. I’ve never considered myself a fit or strong person, but the encouragement provided at Unit 22 is unmatched. The people and the community there are incredible and I am very grateful to be a part of it!

Leisha Mulvey 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Unit 22 is an incredible place to train, I joined as a complete newbie to CrossFit and everyone was welcoming and inclusive. The sessions and coaches are next level. I couldn’t recommend this place more!

Lola Pearcey 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Before I joined Unit 22, my only experience with gyms was the odd half hearted plod on a cross trainer before cancelling my unused membership a month later. I joined Unit 22 unable to do *anything* - incredibly unfit and unhappy with my weight. I've always lacked confidence around physical activity and it's cheesy to say, but the coaches here have genuinely changed my whole perspective on myself and what I can do. They care - properly care - about everyone from the top athletes to me bimbling along. Everything is scalable, the coaches help with injury recovery, they always have time for 121 support and they have created a genuine community. I used to be the last person you would except to see in a gym and I love this place.

Mark Diggines 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of unit 22 for roughly 2 and a half years and love the place. I have gone to many other gyms around Northampton but there is nothing like this place. The programming works really well for me and I'm progressing all the time. All the members push and support each other and I would always recommend this place to anyone at any level of fitness.

Dan Moloney 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member here for 4 and a half years and I can't imagine training anywhere else now. The coaches are supportive and knowledgable and able to help you whether you're brand new to fitness or have lots of experience, and there's a great sense of community with lots of social events to get involved in and get to know the other members.

Victoria Salmons 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Unit22 is more than a gym, it is a community with so many friendly faces supporting you along your fitness journey. All the coaches actually care and the encouragement from everyone is amazing whatever standard you are. The programming is varied and enables you to learn new skills at any age or level you are at. All Crossfit classes can be scaled and weightlifting you can start at the very beginning. This place helps my mental health more than anything most days of the week. Come and join us, we are a friendly bunch.

Amy Cortvriend 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. The coaches are knowledgable and friendly, the programming is great and can be scaled to any ability, and the atmosphere is inclusive. I didn't know anybody when I moved to Northampton last year and I've made some amazing friends here. The gym is also big and extremely well-equipped. There are regular educational seminars and specialist classes so the gym provides excellent value for money.

Libby Trott 3 years ago

Jules James 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is more than a gym, it’s a community. I’ve been a member for nearly 5 years, after attending other local gyms this place never gets boring. I tried out using their taster sessions and I found this place was perfect. I didn’t need to wear the latest gym gear, you turn up, work hard and see the results pretty quickly! No matter your fitness level you can start here and build up. The coaches are knowledge and have expertise in different areas such a osteopathy, sports massage and menopause. The members are friendly and supportive, people always say hello. There’s plenty of classes and choice of ability levels. If I need to bring the kids they’re welcome whilst I work out & we have the odd gym dog popping in too! A great place to workout, meet people & have a coffee. A real local treasure!

leigh white 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Im not motivated enough to go to a run of the mill , treadmill gym. Unit 22 allows you to go at your own pace but with a bit of friendly competitivness. Never any pressure but definitely you can work up a sweat, which after all is why you go somewhere like this. The coaches are top notch, the members ace, coffee is fantastic, even Jamels cappuccino is almost up there with costa! Almost

Duncan Windigo 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I really love Unit22. I joined just over a year ago. The coaches wee really welcoming and I got to know other members really easily. The workouts are really great and the structured programming has developed all areas of my CrossFit in the last year - I have increased all of my lifts and gained TTB and HS walks The atmosphere is really supportive of all abilities and I have also seen the coaching team listen to feedback and improve things off the back of that very happy

Craig Hinch 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This gym, the coaches and members are awesome. With classes that are fully instructed and coached by dedicated professionals helped me achieve my fitness goals. I’ve lost lots of weight and gained lots of confidence and lifelong friends from being a member here. From being overweight to running a marathon they was there from start to finish

Stephen Clark 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: After spending years hitting Pure Gym I finally decided to try my first CrossFit class in between lockdowns 2020. The care that the owners, coaches and fellow have for their each other is obvious from the moment you walk through the door. From the friendly greeting, to the strict Covid restrictions that allowed us all to train safely, to knowing everyone’s name..and their dogs name..and their kids names or knowing when people are having hard weeks or when people need to be pushed. I joined Unit 22 to get fitter and after two years I have developed my health and fitness to a new level, fixed old gym injury’s, learnt how to fuel my body and eat better and met so many amazing people. Struggle to get motivated for the gym? Can’t be bothered or don’t know what you’re doing? Join Unit 22 and you will find yourself loving fitness and turning up to every session.

Lorna Shinton-Scarsbrook 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend this place highly enough. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic as well as being friendly and approachable. Whether you are a complete novice or already training regularly there is something here for you. Every single session can be suitably scaled to match your ability and leaves you feeling like you have achieved something.

Alberto Patón 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: By far the best place to workout in the area. I joined about a year ago knowing nothing whatsoever about CrossFit. It is a completely inclusive space with superb staff and everyone is supportive no matter what your goals are. I cannot put into words how happy being a Unit 22 member makes me. The best part of my day. Try the free taster pass and experience it yourself!

Felicia Malai 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve joined Unit 22 a couple of months ago and everybody has made me feel so welcomed and has been super helpful when I had absolutely no idea what I was doing to start with! I absolutely loved the fact that there are scaling options and no one ever made me feel lesser because I was lifting just my little bar during the session in just a couple of months I’ve become so much more confident and motivated! I can not recommend Unit 22 enough!

Alan OLeary 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: There are hundreds of reasons to join this gym, here are three: - you’ll get fitter and stronger than you’ve ever been before - There’s an excellent atmosphere and fantastic people - There are regular dog visitors to the location, many of which are incredibly soft.

Jo Clark 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Unit22 is easily the best gym I've ever been to. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The coaches and the other members all genuinely want to see you do well and will help you wherever they can. I'd 100% recommend.

N Thompson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Finding a gym like Unit 22 has been such a revelation. Excellent coaching, with great facilities and friendly gym members. I miss my fitness family if I’m not able to make my regular sessions. As someone who does not have a typical gym build, classes are scaled appropriately for my ability.

Perry Pearcey 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've always struggled with my weight, fitness and the gym before, but at Unit 22 I've seen better results than in 20 years of trying on my own. I'm fitter than I've ever been. The people there are all really friendly and helpful and there's a friendly rivalry that really pushes you on. The coaches really take the time to help you, and it's clear they all know their stuff 100% - if you miss a couple of weeks they're great at checking in when you come back and they clearly care about your mental health as well as your physical. Sometimes you even just get a message to check if you're OK - if feels like a nice family/close group of friends rather than "just" gym. I can absolutely 100% recommend this place, no matter your age or fitness level - absolute game changer!

Charli Holmes 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Unit 22 is so much more than a gym to me. It's where I've made so many new friends and it's always the best hour of my day. All of the coaches take the time to get to know you personally and help you reach your goals, whatever they are. The thing I love most is how inclusive it is. It doesn't matter what your body looks like, how old you are or what level of fitness you're at: there will always be people cheering you on at the end of a workout. Unit 22 celebrates everyone's wins, and everyone leaves their ego at the door. When I joined, I thought I was just joining a gym. Now I feel like part of a family.

Kate Burden 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Unit 22! What can I say! Best hour of my day is spent with all the guys and girls here! No matter what your fitness levels are we are all part of one big team that help motivate each other after you’ve had a good or bad day! CrossFit is addictive and if your stuck doing the same thing at a global gym and are looking for something different then this is the place to come! 100% recommended!!

Kimberley McLean 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic crossfit gym. I'd trained at a crossfit gym previously to this so had some knowledge but I really improved and developed once I started here under the many brilliant coaches. The programming accommodates everyone, plenty of class times to suit, open gym facilities with extra specific programmes. Plus additions like Raw, yoga and sports massage/osteopathy. The coaches are all lovely and the members very friendly. Look no further for your crossfit gym!

Sam Whitaker 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Such a friendly and welcoming gym, I am not a CrossFit athlete but have my own targets to hit, the coaches are supportive and scale workouts to suit all fitness and skill levels. This Gym has helped me get to where I needed to get to for my career and I can’t thank The coaches enough! Especially Jamie, Jamel and Mary who run most of the classes I attend, but please.. no more burpees

lauren wardle 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: As someone who feels sick at the thought of walking into a big 'commercial' gym and being faced with a sea of machines I'm not sure how to properly use, Unit 22 is the perfect gym. Whilst you can use the open gym to do you own thing, the classes provide you with purposeful, structured programming that will enable you to progress whilst also always being adaptable to all abilities with zero judgement involved. You will turn up at the gym knowing you'll have your own space to work out, with all the equipment you need and an expert coach there to ensure you're moving safely but also pushing yourself hard enough, and you will be surrounded by like-minded people who build each other up and support each other through the workout. The facilities are excellent, the staff are all so knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming, and the community spirit is unmatched. Membership is worth every penny - I'd never go anywhere else.

Lee Hodgkinson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Unit22 was recommended to me by a friend last summer, I am so pleased I went along to enquire!! I have been attending regularly since and love it, excellent, motivating coaching and well structured sessions with options for everyone regardless of fitness level... Highly recommended!!

Ethan Warr 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: From someone who hadn't stepped foot in a gym for over 10 years when I went for the FREE taster pass at Unit 22 I was greeted by the staff who make you feel at ease from the get go. Every session can be adapted to your own ability enabling you to get the most out of your time at the gym. The encouragement you receive from other members to finish the workout or going for a PB for a lift the community here really get behind you every step of the way. You can chill out by Reception before or after your session with a Coffee from their own Espresso Machine or a Protein Shake if you prefer. With structured progressive programming many various methods of injury rehabilitation available in house they have a wide range of skills your every need.

Luke Wilkin 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Unit 22 is so much more than a gym... You are more than just a membership number - the coaches know you by your name, they know your injuries, they know how to encourage you to get better with every session The training sessions are always different showing a great variety of movements and constantly working on increasing rep ranges, weights and technique The coaches ensure that each movement can be scaled to fit each individual and will always provide alternative options to ensure anyone can complete the workout alongside anyone else irrespective of their skill and fitness level The team are constantly adding and upgrading equipment to ensure everyone has the variety to keep things fresh and fun for their training It’s a great place to train and is highly recommended

Jordan Ayres 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best place to workout in Northampton. Gym is fully equipped with all of the equipment you would need to get fit, there are classes every day, the coaches are always on hand to help. If you're bored of working out in a gym on your own and looking for both accountability, knowledge, and a community then sign up for a free session. Thanks Greg, Bonnie, Mandy, Charlie and Grace.

Mr T 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Staff are friendly and very technically knowledgeable. Other users are keen to assist and help beginner's, making you feel at home every time you visit. It's a great place to train and the community sets it apart from your general run of the mill gym.

Fantastic experience: A brilliant place to train. Friendly, proffessional and fun. The coaches are at a great standard and very accommodating to people like me who need to drop in once in a while whilst travelling in the area. Be prepared for a challenging session, but be even more prepared for high quality coaching! Massive Thunbs up!

Josh Astrop 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Unit 22 is a very welcoming and inclusive gym. Professional and knowledgable staff. Caters for all abilities from beginners to elite. I trust them with my life, and I die a lot, often multiple times during the same workout.

Ben Paynter 11 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great CrossFit Box. I live in Australia and visited whilst spending time in the UK. I found the facilities and coaching to be top class and would highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a well run place to workout. A great addition is their dedicated weightlifting club which means there is a greater emphasis on Olympic Weightlifting that you get in many CrossFits and this is a big plus as weightlifting is often overlooked at a lot of places to the detriment of the members. So I highly recommend visiting, I certainly will if I'm back in the area again.
