CrossFit^® Habitat

Negative experience: Awh, I'm sad to be giving a 2-star rating because all of the member's reviews are amazing, and I'm sure if I was a member I would be writing a more positive review. However, as an off-the-cuff drop in, I was left a little disappointed. I visited today with my husband as we're staying local (travelled from Cardiff) until tomorrow, and we were looking for a gym that offered non-members drop-ins/open gym while we're away. We found this gym via a Google search and the reason we decided to visit was that on their site the gym offered non-members the opportunity to do open gym/drop ins from 09:00am - 4:30pm (Mon-Fri) at £6pp. We also didn't need to book, we could just turn up and pay. We arrived gone 11am and I asked the instructor if we could do a drop in session, which she said we could. I paid £14 (£7 each and not £6 at it says on their site, but I'm really not bothered at the price as we expect drop ins to be at least £10 anyway), but at no point was I informed that there were any classes due to be run and we only had a certain amount of time to do our session. After warming up and sorting ourselves out (people were super nice in helping us out with equipment, rig, etc) we started our workout at about 11:30am-ish. My husband was approached by the instructor at about 11:40am to say that she's taking a class at 12:00hrs and we would need to be done by then. At approx. 11:50/11:55am, the instructor then asked if we'd finished with the C2 bike and she put it away. We put all of our equipment away and I left super disappointed and deflated. The instructor was already taking the 12pm class and I didn't want to interrupt to air my frustration in front of the class. I just wish we were told we only had until 12pm because we would have just come back after the class, meaning we could have finished our workout. On a positive note: This is probably the most organised gym I've ever stepped foot in. Every piece of equipment had a place to live - even the ropes, bands, bb clips & foam rollers. I was super impressed! I would definitely recommend this gym and I would probably visit again if I was in the area, but for anyone wanting to just drop in, I would be mindful of the drop in restrictions as they aren't fully explained on the website, I.e. you can't drop in and do your own session if there's a class on.

Fantastic experience: Simply the best environment in Oxfordshire to improve your fitness and look your best. I have learned and progressed more in 12 months here than through 12 years of powerlifting & bodybuilding training. I am fitter and stronger than ever at the age of 29, and look better than I ever did running myself into the ground with 5x 2-hour gym sessions a week. Come down and try it out, if you don’t fall in love with the style of training I guarantee you’ll stick around for the community.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Oxfordshire. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and it doesn’t matter if it’s your first time stepping foot in a gym or if you’ve been training for years. Everyone becomes part of the family. The coaches are knowledgable and so supportive. I can’t recommend it enough!!!

Fantastic experience: The most professional, knowledgeable and friendly gym you will ever set foot in. The coaches are incredibly talented at what they do and will go above and beyond to support and guide you mentally and physically through any challenge. CrossFit can come across very daunting to the outsider but I have never been part of a more inclusive and welcoming environment whilst being supported but equally passionate and motivated individuals. I have never been this happy and healthy both mentally and physically and my CrossFit family and the gym is one of the biggest contributors to that. Thank you Lauren for giving so many the opportunity to train in such a wonderful gym with the best people and support.

Fantastic experience: I'm new to this style of training and the last 2 week's here have been fantastic! I feel great, fitter and stronger already! Some of the exercises I was unsure about but the PT took me through them and corrected me when needed. I highly recommend fitness habitat.

Fantastic experience: This facility deserved a 5* review for many reasons. I’m no expert on this type of x-fit trg but the classes and coaching are amazing. I’ve been made to feel so welcome and the value for money is great. I now don’t have to think about my classes, it’s all taken care of, and my fitness levels have peaked dramatically. Without doubt the best trg you can do for any age. Another point of note if the friendliness of the place. I’m 48 years old and everyone has been great, and it’s keeping me in great shape; recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and even better community!
