Colne Valley Fitness

Fantastic experience: A really great gym. Friendly, helpful staff; lots of equipment, and a large range of classes. The owners are always improving the gym, adding more equipment and more classes, so you can find something to suit you.

Fantastic experience: I've never really been a “gym person” but gave this place a go following a recommendation. 5ish months in I'm really enjoying it. I only go to 1 session a week to compliment my cycling and running but I'm getting loads out of it and certainly feeling fitter and stronger. The class format is great and suits me perfectly. I was nervous at first but everyone has been warm, friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place.. Fantastic people..!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym. The people are friendly and helpful, they are always looking to improve the gym with new equipment and different classes. there's always something different on each day keeping it interesting.

Fantastic experience: Really friendly people, very very well equipped gym and the coach was amazing! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I can not recommend this gym highly enough. A year ago, I had never partaken in any crossfit workout and felt intimidating by the prospect of doing so. I am very happy to say that as a result of attending 3 times a week, I feel like I am in the best physical shape I've ever been in. I previously had issues motivating myself in regular gyms but the beauty of crossfit is that there is a different programme each day which you are always supported through with excellent explanations (particularly useful for someone slow on the uptake like me) and every workout is different meaning you are kept on your toes in all senses. They also push you to your physical limits which I found impossible to achieve in solitude. One of my favourite aspects is the inclusivity of the gym given the varying abilities of all those who attends - all workouts can be 'scaled' and there is no pressure or embarrassment on not being able to complete the heaviest weight - you are always encouraged to better yourself and log your individual scores to track progress. Besides the amazing support each coach provides, the community spirit at the heart of the gym is nothing I've come across before at a fitness centre prior to attending. In addition to the fantastic coaches, who go out of their way to help all members to perform each exercise to the best of their ability, every member of the gym is kind, supportive and committed to achieving the same goal - getting fitter while having fun. Thank you Vicki, Bailey, Connie, Jess, Lexi, and Dean who have all helped me over the course of the last year - you've all been fantastic and so welcoming!

Fantastic experience: My kids joined the kids class around 18 months ago but I never really considered joining, I was happy at the conventional gym and thought I would be strong enough or fit enough to be a "crossfiter" I finally cracked and joined in January 2023 and It was the best decision I've made. I've made so much progress in 6 months and have never had so much encouragement and so many cheerleaders! The coaches are brilliant and attentive to make sure the form is always right to avoid injury and the community/ family feel that you get from everyone is amazing. I can take the kids when I don't have childcare and they're never made to feel in the way or like they shouldn't be there. Thank you Vicki and team, your awesome!

Fantastic experience: 5 stars, from the coaches to the facilities and supportive environment. Having used conventional gyms and played multiple sports throughout my life, when joining CV Fitness 18 months ago I wasn’t sure what to expect. My experience during this time has been nothing short of amazing, and I can honestly say I wish I’d found this place sooner. I can’t thank the coaches, Vicki, Bailey, Lex, Jess, Dean & Connie enough for the help, support, education, and motivation to push myself, learn and feel welcome. Compounded by an accident outside of the gym 12 month ago which ended in a severe right leg injury. Upon my return the attention to detail and facilitation from all the coaches when scaling/adapting movements, was sensational to aid my recovery. I am now stronger and fitter than I have ever been, more importantly I enjoy every session and the collective environment this gym has. I would highly recommend for anyone regardless of age, ability, confidence etc. Thank you Colne Valley Fitness team!

Fantastic experience: Tried a drop in with my partner today and had a fantastic time! The atmosphere was warm and friendly and our coach Connie did a great job of leading the class and demonstrating the different scaled - advanced variations of each exercise. Top quality gym. Highly recommend.

Positive experience: Great place, not sure if theres shower facilities

Fantastic experience: I have been going for a few weeks now, I am glad I have, the group I am with are great, the trainer is excellent, I would definitely recommend this fitness studio to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever

Fantastic experience: Crossfit is great. Its hard work but definitely worth it!!! The team are lovely and make you feel welcome from the start!

Fantastic experience: Such a welcoming place to undergo some self-induced physical torture... Really positive environment with great coaches and lovely members. Would 100% recommend. The team there really push you, and scale sessions excellently so everyone can partake no matter your strength, flexibility or cardio fitness.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities, programming and coaching. Everyone is friendly and encourages you to push on. Iv been training at CV Fit for 7 months, around 4 to 5 times a week. I started as a little chunky fat lad coming out of lockdown, and now I'm like a mini Arnie. Before joining, my training had been inconsistent. I had back problems on and off for 6 years. I was at the physio all the time and not getting any better. Since joining, I've been more mobile and moving better and pain-free. My fitness has improved a lot. My resting heart rate has gone from 60 beats to 49. Most importantly, I enjoy it; no two sessions are the same. Thank you to Vicki and the whole team.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic CrossFit Gym . When I first started here I had no clue about how to do any of the moves correctly and every session I am still learning ,but thanks to the fantastic coaches here I am loving seeing my progress and really enjoying exercising. All the sessions are well planned for all ages and abilities and the encouragement from coaches and all the members is fantastic. Everyone is so friendly and will always be cheering you on - a great gym :)

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly people. A fantastic gym to be part of. Try it out

Fantastic experience: I joined the gym around five months ago not knowing anything about CrossFit - so, less than a novice. Although I've been to gyms in the past, I've soon become bored and lose all enthusiasm. CVFit is like nowhere I've ever been. There's a real community feel and with regular attendance and encouragement from the amazing coaches and support from the group, I can honestly say that I enjoy the gym! Not once have I have felt out of place and I never thought I'd find myself looking forward to the next session!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. I've been going for a couple of years and absolutely love it. The classes are very challenging, but can be adapted for any ability. Vicky and the team of coaches are all really supportive and knowledgeable, and everyone is friendly - it's not like other gyms where people do their own thing and don't interact with anyone. You can turn up never having lifted weights before and knowing no-one, as I did, and you will be made to feel very welcome and shown all the moves in detail to keep you on the right track. There are pairs workouts and team challenges and all sorts of extras (social events, hikes, informal running groups, nutrition classes etc), so it's a great atmosphere all round. Can't recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I have always been an active gym go-er but never felt more at home than I have here. The coach’s are exceptional and are always available to help / give you any tips. I have pushed myself so much in these last 8 months and I feel amazing for it. I cannot thank Colne Valley Fitness enough for helping me find my love for fitness again. It also helps that the members make you feel like family. Such an amazing community and could not recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, lovely bunch of like minded people, top notch coaches who are so supportive. Vicki and Pete have created a fantastic environment for people to train. The sessions are tough and challenging but can be adapted to any ability. The hardest part is remembering to take a rest day as I enjoy coming to all of the classes so much and feel fitter/stronger as each week passes! Sign up you wont regret it :-)

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend for anyone bored of the gym, stuck in a rut with fitness or even starting out so just basically anyone!! I started Colne valley fitness a year ago I had previously been attending the gym but wanted to try something new I was bored of the same old and after a friend recommended cross fit I was hooked. it's totally different to any normal gym you learn so much about all aspects of training, you get coached for each session and help is there whenever you need it. I couldn't imagine training anywhere else now I attend most mornings at 6am so just proves its worth getting out of bed for. The coaches are amazing very patient and so helpful teaching a wide range of techniques but also in a way that suits you, all the members are so welcoming and friendly like a big family. Whatever your ability there is no pressure the coaches will always support and advice you, that's the nicest thing about Colne valley everyone is so supportive and encouraging towards each other. Colne valley fitness make exercise fun what more could you want x

Fantastic experience: I started at the gym around 9 months ago as I had heard good things about cross fit and wanted to give it a try. I have to say I have not been disappointed, I have found the coaching here to be fantastic and I feel I have really improved my all round fitness and well-being in the time I have been attending. The classes are really varied and cover a wide variety of different exercises which can all be scaled to your fitness and ability. I have found that there are exercises that I have never previously tried to any great extent, such as weights, but through the progressive coaching that I have received I have come to really enjoy these now and have gone from a casual gym user to a regular. At first I thought I might find cross fit a bit daunting but the community feel and spirit at the gym is absolutely brilliant and I have never had anything but encouragement from the coaches and other members.

Fantastic experience: Coming to Colne valley fitness as a complete novice and having little experience with gyms or any other form of exercise in general apart from running was quite unnerving, this was unfounded as I was made to feel very welcome by Vicki and the rest of the members at colne valley fitness. I joined after lockdown as I needed to get some form of exercise after months of doing very little but eating quite a lot. I had 2 introductory classes, one with Vicki and one with Bron, they showed me the basics of what colne valley fitness was about and I then started the 6am classes with the rest of the members. I have really enjoyed the classes, learning new exercisers and finding I can do things I never thought I could do being a complete novice but with the instructors help I find I am improving week on week. I have been made to feel like a long time member even though I have only been there for 7 weeks the diversity of members from different backgrounds and ages makes the gym what it is. I can honestly say my running has improved even in the short time I have been at colne valley fitness and have found a group of new friends

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out, friendly, encouraging whatever your ability. First time in my 53 years I have enjoyed and embraced exercise - you’ve got to try it! Suits all ages and abilities, all working together and encouraging each other!

Fantastic experience: For anyone wanting to start/continue their fitness journey, you could do much worse than making Colne Valley Fitness your destination. I have been lucky enough to be a member for over a year now and can honestly say it’s been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Experienced coaches who have massive awareness of not only my strengths but also my weaknesses, alongside a welcoming community and encouraging, inclusive environment, have increased my well being and confidence more than anything I’ve done. It doesn’t matter who you are, what you are or how you are, there is a place for all at Colne Valley Fitness and I’m proud to be a tiny part of an amazing team.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym set up with excellent coaching, unlike a lot of gyms there is a community spirit as well as encouragement from fellow members. Has the right environment and have seen many members of all shapes and sizes improve dramatically, I can’t imagine being without it now!

Fantastic experience: ‘CrossFit and training in the gym with other people always felt like it was for super fit people and not me. How wrong I was! Ive been on a weight loss journey since January and I simply couldn’t have done it without CVFIT. I’ve joined a gym that has become a really great group of friends and a social gathering. I have completed the Body Blitz programme 3 times which accelerated my weight loss and educated me on food and nutrition. I found Vicki to be a great coach and mentor, with super patience. Vicki takes real pride in everything she does. From the equipment in the gym, the interior decor, range of classes as well as the one to one sessions and the organisation of social events. This may sound dramatic (I’m a dramatic person haha) but Vicki Gittens and Colne Valley Fit has literally changed my life! I’m over 3 stone lighter but stronger, fitter and definitely happier. I love being part of a fitness family and one that is accepting and inclusive of everyone and all abilities and I don’t just say this I mean it. Vicki is by far the best coach I have ever encountered and her professionalism and commitment to everyone shows in her gym. It’s a wonderful gym to train in and a fabulous place to make new friendships. I can not recommend CVFIT highly enough. Thank you Vicki, I’m a happier, fitter, more confident Katie than I have been in years’

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend CVCF enough, it's fun, friendly and addictive!

Fantastic experience: Really great CrossFit Box! Knowledgable and encouraging coaches and friendly members make it welcoming and the progress I have made in the last 12 months is amazing! Would recommend to anyone to give it a try!

Fantastic experience: CVCF is a great community based gym for all abilities to train and have fun together. It is an essential part of my week. Everyone is so welcoming and Vicki is continuing to build and grow what Jack and Katy started.

Fantastic experience: This place is more than just a gym - you’ll make friends, learn new skills and feel absolutely fantastic after every session. CVCF is so friendly and inclusive and every session you can see your improvement and will leave feeling like you’ve achieved something - more than just clocking a workout. Adult PE but with the best coaching and support from the coaches and members!!

Fantastic experience: Great place to train with great people and supportive coaches!

Fantastic experience: Only been there a few months, but what a great place to train. New premises offer great facilities, the members are great - very supportive, very friendly and make you feel a part of the place. Coaches are very knowledgable, they support you, they make things relevant for you as an individual, and they always have a way for something to be done if you’re not sure!!!! They practice what they preach too ‍♂️️‍♀️ This isn’t like your normal gym, it’s a great environment for you to learn, develop, and enjoy doing it; it’s a community! If you’ve never thought of trying it - get yourself along and give it a go

Fantastic experience: Excellent training programs, clean and tidy, good parking friendly professional team!
