Fantastic experience: Really friendly and approachable coaches, great equipment and really nice set up. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to give CrossFit a try or for anyone with experience

Fantastic experience: Great place, great gym, great coaches and a great community! My biggest regret, not joining years ago!!

Jenny Burke 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Cross Fit Leyland isn't just a gym, it's a community that gives so much. I joined with zero confidence and fitness to match, my goal just to improve my overall fitness, no intention of doing the weightlifting or gymnastics. Couches and peers were welcoming and supportive from day one and fast forward 4 years , not only has my fitness improved but my confidence too, and I have made some amazing friends! Non of the toxic gym culture that you see and hear about in a lot of places, every one is supported and encouraged. Everything is scaled to your ability, so everyone and anyone can do it, all you have to do is turn up!

Fantastic experience: I could write endlessly about the positives of this gym but I will try my best to keep it succinct. Since joining the gym in May 2023, my life has improved in pretty much every aspect. In terms of my work, I am more productive/efficient as regular training has forced me into a better routine and also into improving my diet and ensuring I’m eating enough of the ‘good’ stuff. My social life has improved x10 as I now have lots of new friends who I see daily and who share a common interest. In terms of fulfilment and progress, it is an absolute joy learning new skills every week and reflecting on the progress I’ve made in just 6 months. I feel strong, motivated and positive and it is all down to this wonderful gym giving me targets, a safe space to learn and an awesome community. Recently someone commented that I ‘looked in great shape’ and it made me laugh, as I realised that since joining CFL I have been so obsessed with the positive impact it’s had in every other area of my life, I haven’t even noticed the physical changes to my body. Thank you CFL for being amazing!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Leyland was were I found myself when I was lonely. I went to find friends with the same love of fitness I had, and I haven’t left, I now Coach here, I’m very lucky. Everyday I get to see young an old, all fitness levels, with all abilities work to better themselves, their bodies & minds through physical fitness and there’s no better feeling, this community makes my day. I was in the Armed forces for 26 years I had an extended family, I was a shock when I left, then I realised with this lot I still do, I can’t thank them enough. If you do read this, please don’t write yourself off coming down because you don’t know about CrossFit just take a leap of faith and this gym will welcome you with open arms and I guarantee you love the benefits.

Fantastic experience: Only started doing CrossFit a year ago as was recommended through friends. Have been to gyms locally however, will gladly travel the 30 minutes each way to come here. Very nervous when first started but the community and friendliness of everyone around you is priceless . The coaches really teach you and don’t leave you guessing. Would honestly recommend to anyone thinking they may want to try CrossFit, or are unhappy where they are to try this place.

Thomas Bennett 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Been going to CFL for over three years now and can't imagine training anywhere else. Great coaches, great community and great programming! Can't recommend it enough.

Amy Speariett-Moss 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Leyland is everything about the CrossFit community, being inclusive and diverse, supporting each member to a better version of themselves. There is always something to keep the mind active and the body moving even when you don’t think you can- the community will get you through. Thank you to everybody that makes CFL.

Heidi Lawrence 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Leyland just over six months ago after wanting a change from a “typical” gym. I was a bit lost post partum, having not really done strength training before, but every one of the coaches has been unbelievable. They really care and want you to get the most out of every class. There’s such a strong community feel to the gym, everyone is welcoming and no matter which class you go to, you’re made to feel welcome. I couldn’t imagine going to any other gym now.

Katrina Gostelow 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Have been a member at CrossFit Leyland 3 months now . Taking up CrossFit in my 50s seemed like a crazy idea but probably one the best decisions I have made for some time ! The coaches are so knowledgable and encouraging . I have been made to feel very welcome and the environment is so friendly and inclusive . My fitness is the best it's been for along time and my back pain from a herniated disc feels so much better than it used to. Every workout is fully explained and demonstrated . I,m learning all the time whilst being challenged and most importantly having fun and meeting new people . They also offer great teen classes which have helped improve my daughters well being and confidence . Its a team ethos at CFL

Lauren C 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: CFL is a brilliant gym. It will challenge every level of fitness - whether you're a seasoned crossfitter or don't know what it involves! Since coming here, I'm stronger in my lifts and faster at running - amongst other skills I've picked up. It's great to walk into a gym after work and be able to laugh and chat with positive like-minded people. I would recommend it to all ages and abilities.

Sarah Butterworth 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Joined CFL March 2022 and haven’t looked back since! I never thought I’d enjoy going to the gym as much!! It’s everything I’ve needed in my life and more. Big up CrossFit Leyland you’re the best!!

Sharon Tyrell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Leyland (CFL) is hands down THE best gym/box out there. The coaches are professional, knowledgeable, experienced and welcoming. The CFL Community is second to none. There is always a warm welcome and friendly smiles to greet you. There are always plenty of events happening both fitness wise and socially to get involved in, and the CFL team work hard to continue the brilliant community ethos they've created over the last 11 years. It just gets better year on year. THE most friendly and supportive gym I've ever been to. Just absolutely love it, and all the people there.

Sam Tasker 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Crossfit leyland there is a place for everyone friendly , well coached , supportive and helpful. This is not necessarily and competitive crossfit box ( even though the option is there ) its more about looking after its members, making sure there moving well and resting to maximise your training . If your willing to listen and learn this is the place for you

Laura Campbell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at CrossFit leyland for almost 5years & I can honestly say that walking through those doors was the best decision I made. My strength, endurance & confidence levels have improved massively. I am now able to do really cool gymnastic & weightlifting stuff that I never thought I could, even at the age of 48. I just wish I’d started it years ago. The coaches are the best around & offer huge support, guidance & encouragement no matter what your age or ability. They’re also there to give you a push when you need it. Possibly the best thing about CFL is the community. There are no egos, everyone is super supportive & friendly. I guarantee you’ll make friends for life

Grace Nichols 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Leyland just over a month ago after spending a while deliberating joining and putting it off because I was nervous and kept telling myself that I wasn’t good/strong/fit enough for CrossFit. I’m so glad that I decided to attend a taster day and knew instantly that I wanted to join. I can’t praise CFL enough! The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and the gym community is very inclusive and welcoming. The workouts are tough but they’re adaptable to individual fitness levels and you always feel great afterwards. I already feel stronger and more motivated to achieve my goals - the best part is that I actively look forward to attending CrossFit classes, which is a feeling I’ve not really had with any other form of exercise in the past. If you’re like me and are on the fence about joining and starting something new, I’d 100% encourage you to give it a go!

Hayley Smith 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Leyland is a great gym for all abilities. All workout's can be scaled for personal preference without anyone noticing so whatever your sex, feeling weak, strong, injury or other, everyone can work to be the best they can! Coaches are super friendly and supportive whether a beginner who may require extra guidance or more experienced member who may need reminding of correct form to prevent injury. Lots of members also make use of competitions and also opportunities to gather and have a laugh away from the gym, although with a busy family life I don't get involved myself but feel the door is always open. Recently, the gym had a friend's day (see photo) and I took my two friends along to join me in a workout which was fun. I'm also looking forward to the Christmas party.

Hannah B 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit leyland over two years ago and it was the best decision I ever made for my health and well-being. From my CrossFit journey I have lost over 3.5 stone and have gained a a better understanding of a suitable diet. The gym also offers a lifestyle reset programme where you are provided 1:1 coaching on nutrition and health to support you in achieving your goals, whether this be loosing weight or building muscle. From the start, I instantly felt part of a community. I have made friends for life here. The coaches are so supportive and are able to adapt any workout to suit your abilities and any injuries. They are all very knowledgable staff and always encourage you. This certainly is the best thing I have done for my well-being and would recommend to anyone whether you are a beginner or a pro!

Andy Steele 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: A gym can be daunting and an uncomfortable place, not CFL. A gym can have four walls and no atmosphere, not CFL. A gym can have no values or engagement, not CFL. CFL is a community that holds enjoyment, engagement and its members in all that it does!. An everchanging and challenging program of workouts to ensure we/ you leave feeling mentally better than you arrived and a few drops of sweat thrown in. CFL where members matter.

Gemma Birkett 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Leyland a year ago and found everything I’d been searching for - friends, fun, inclusivity, confidence, self belief and most of all a community. You turn up each day to train with a bunch of like minded weirdos and realise this is it - you’ve found your tribe. If you’ve been thinking about trying CrossFit, or even if you haven’t, get in touch with CrossFit Leyland. You will not regret it

Evie Jones 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: When you think of CrossFit you probably think of young, elite athletes not middle aged women with injuries. But I'm definitely the second category and I cannot speak highly enough of CrossFit Leyland and the amazing coaches there. I go to the same classes as the peeps that can lift heavy and do all the gymnastics moves, but the coaches ensure that the exercises are scaled to my fitness and mobility. But not only are the coaches supportive, the whole community cheer you on. They're an amazing bunch of people. If you think CrossFit isn't for you because you don't fit the stereotype of a CrossFit athlete, think again. CrossFit Leyland is for everyone.

Danny Parker #23 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. The atmosphere is so welcoming and you are guaranteed to find new friends and people of similar abilities to help you reach your goals. The coaching team are brilliant with lots of support and knowledge from movement to nutrition. I wish did this 15 years ago because it’s the most I’ve ever enjoyed training. Don’t hesitate and jump in. You will be surrounded by a mixture of people all looking for that bit of self improvement from high level athletes to beginners looking to get started. All of them will encourage you, help you and share experience with you to help you progress. There are a variety of different types of exercise and various types of workouts so it all stays very fresh and adds a lot of new challenges and benefits that come with trying new things. There is always a scaling option and always a movement for everyone and every ability to be able to take part and push there own level. You won’t regret giving this place a try. What a gym what an environment and my progress is better now than I have ever been able to achieve before. I’m finally starting to feel like I have a body I can be proud of. And this is down to the type of training and being surrounded by the highly motivated and positive people on offer at the gym. Thanks CFL

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Leyland is an amazing inclusive fitness facility everyone. They invest heavily in their coaches, they have and incredible community and provide a premium service. I haven’t come across a gym so attentive to their customers. I would love to come back. See you soon.

Emma 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is the best CrossFit gym out there. The support and guidance that is received in the classes is amazing. It’s inclusive and has an amazing community. The owners make you feel incredibly welcome. Both me and my partner were members for a while before moving away and we cried the day we had to cancel our memberships. I still go back once a week for PT as I truly love the place and it’s absolutely worth the commute

Fantastic experience: Well I've been at this gym now over a year and the support from everyone is amazing what a community crossfit is, I've never experienced a gym with the same kind of spirit, everyone's on the same page, achieving their best ability with no judgement, best thing I did joining, coachs on hand with helpful tips to Improve technique all the time, wish I'd been here year's ago,

D Kirby 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve attended the Masters (0ver 55’s) class for over a year now and I love it. The coaches are excellent, patient and constantly remind and encourage us with the exercises. Every exercise is adaptable to your ability and therefore I consider it is suitable for anyone in our age range. CrossFit Leyland deserve every credit for the facilities and coaching that they provide for all ages. Colin also provides fantastic healthy food in the kitchen.

David Craven 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to CrossFit Leyland for over 6 years. Previously I have trained at various locations since I was 15, doing the same old thing. When I joined CFL I was immediately hooked. Over the past few years I have enjoyed the development I have been able to achieve, particularly from the help of the fantastic coaches. Each and every one of them offers something different but each one adds value to the experience. Now as a coach myself, I know how much that experience means. It’s the best hour of the day, and every day is different. Being part of the community is just as important as the programming and coaching. As they say, I get to train at CFL.

Becci Hamlett 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! The coaches are highly skilled and have bucket loads of knowledge! It feels like one large family unlike your mainstream gyms were you are just a number. I would recommend to anybody of any age and any ability!!!

Emma Hunter 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. I've been a member for 3 years and have had so much help with training, nutrition & support for non-gym issues going on. Supportive coaches, friendly members & a great atmosphere. Every session feels like a group PT session!! Will struggle to find another gym like it!

Chris monks 9 years ago

Negative experience: 2 years spent at this gym loved the training then it changed it's very expensive for what you get and the price has just gone up again. The gym want your feedback but when you give it they don't like it and ask you to leave. It now has a very clicky feeling about it and after the initial interest shown to you has a new member this soon changes and you get forgotten. For the money let's not forget this gym is only open a few hours a day. Crossfit training is great but you need the right people doing it giving customer service.

Christine Potter 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: Such a friendly community, so well organised and structured .. So pleased to be part of it officially now!! Once you get a taste for CrossFit, it's hard to not want more!! Bring on the GAINZ!!

Saskia Rayner 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love this place and everything about it. After one session you'll understand how they achieved Gym of the Year 2015 status :-) With inspiring and supportive coaches, welcoming and encouraging members, it's a true representation of what being a member of a gym should be like!

Simon Brindle 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: I never really classed myself as a gym lover, I'd sign up with all the best intentions, start going and quickly get bored. The staff would greet me with a friendly smile, but they don't know who you are until you either tell them or your card causes your profile to show on their computer screen. It felt as though, if you didn't go but continued to pay them your cash, all was well. That was until I went for a free trial session at CrossFit Leyland. The owner of the gym took the tough but enjoyable class for us CrossFit newbies. They wanted me to enjoy the gym and how I wanted their gym to work for me. They are there to help you be the best you can be, which at first wasn't great but everything has a simpler option, or an alternative if you physically can't manage it. You may finish last, but the good thing about that is, everyone who finished before you will be cheering you until you do. That's why this is the best gym you have not yet been to. This is the 2015 Lancashire Evening Post's Gym of the Year.

Ben Johnson 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been training for 14 years and it has got extremely boring so needed a change. I went for a taster session at Crossfit Leyland and loved it, yes I was nervous as it was something new but everybody made me feel so welcome. The coaches are on another level! Great for motivation, support and really make everyone feel like they are in a community. I have only been there 6 weeks but will not be returning to an average gym.

Shaun Binkley 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been with crossfit Leyland from the start, couldn't recommend it enough. Coaches very friendly, great atmosphere, great gains!

Priscilla Coates 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Leyland is a very friendly gym. It's full of people of all ages, sizes and fitness levels. I was made to feel very welcome and have made loads of friends and we all go out and socialise together - all ages and walks of life mixed in together. Crossfit might sound scary and look likes its only for super fit people. In my experience this is not the case! I am not the fittest of people and I have to scale some of the exercises - you will not be alone in this. We work on our weaknesses and everyone gets a cheer. I have taken part in sport all of my life; Crossfit has improved my fitness the most, out of all of them. I love doing it, I love being part of a team and shouting and supporting others, and them encouraging me when I am finding it tough. Crossfit is all about: inclusion - being part of a team, acceptance - you will be made welcome, improvement - there is always something to work on and everything can be scaled down or up; so you can do it and you will feel like you've worked hard for your level of fitness

mikesquestforfish Tight lines 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Leyland is an amazing place to train. I was really nervous when I first started but I was very quickly made to feel part of the family CrossFit Leyland really is for everyone, what ever level of fitness. The coaches are all excellent and very knowledgable. You're well looked after, and get the best training you could want.

Nick Fraine 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: very welcoming, great facilities, good vibe. Reaches the parts other gyms can't reach!

Rob Powell 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: I began my Crossfit Leyland journey back just under 2 yrs ago. Back then i was a proverbial "gymophobe". I'd sign up with a gym in january and cancel my unused direct debit some months later. The fact im regularly attending all this time later speaks volumes about the staff and atmosphere here at the gym. There's a genuine community feel to this place where all members or ALL abilities are made to feel welcome. No workout is the same, and there is so much to learn and master, that keeps me coming back for more. My fitness and confidence has gone through the roof.Yes i am a real person. And no i was not paid to write this! It's genuinely a great place to train.

Phil Braithwaite 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: Brilliant, can't imagine going to any other gym after going to CrossFit Leyland!

Kelly Livesey 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love crossfit, never been attached to a gym like i am with CF. I've been a member of a few gyms but never stick at them due to boredom, them being repetitive and generally people being up themselves. At CF Leyland they are a great bunch of people, encouraging me to do things i never thought id be able to do! I joined in June this year and never felt fitter, i've a long way to go yet, but its great for slimming down and toning up! You never get bored with the workouts (You may dread a few though).... Get yourself down there and see what its about.....

Paul Carysforth 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Crossfit by a friend and looked up Crossfit Leyland as it was close by. That was over a year ago and I now go 3-4x a week! For me its all the things missing from a gym. Great trainers that care and don't see you as a number, diverse workouts where you're learning new things all the time and an amazing community. I've never been fitter and that's all down to Gina, Greg, Gary and Matt. I would really recommend giving the taster session a go if you're bored of the gym and want to try something different.
