Fantastic experience: Joining CFC was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It is so different to your regular gym. I am always learning something new and developing a new skill, which really helps with self esteem and confidence. Coaching is also very different to a regular gym, you’ll get much more one:one guidance and adaptations to meet your needs. I can’t recommend CFC enough! Go join!

lee mortimer 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: If Carlsberg made gyms, this would be the one, quite possibly the greatest gym in Colchester, amazingly friendly and knowledgeable coaches, an epic environment and great equipment. The whole feeling at the gym, from when you arrive to when you leave is brilliant, more of a community than a gym, great music, friendly people and brilliant staff/coaches. With other businesses in the same building that will support you and make you a whole better person. It has for me, I’ve been a member here for a number of years and it is my happy place, as I know I will always leave feeling better than I did. So book a taster and come see for yourself!

Fantastic experience: Best thing you can do with your clothes on that'll make you look amazing with your clothes off. The coaches and community are amazing and nothing like any other gym I've ever been to. The best thing is that no matter what your fitness level is... you simply scale the weight or reps and join in with everybody else.

Rowan Cooke 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. After years of commercial gym training, I decided it was time to get fit(ter). Signed up to CrossFit Colchester and the coaches couldn’t be anymore welcoming. Not to mention a great community of members. The gym itself is really well equipped, making it super convenient to train on lunch, before work or after work. The gym has all the training equipment you could possibly need with well thought out programming in each session, diving up strength and conditioning components.

Fantastic experience: I came across Crossfit Colchester as part of Same Sex Pair throwdown. The competition organisation, volunteers, atmosphere, box space, equipment and well thought workouts all are a great testament of breath of experience coming from this place. I'll certainly be coming back for more comps and hopefully some drop ins if I'm in the area.

Fantastic experience: Amazing community, so motivational and friendly. A really great gym to be a part of x

Ashleigh Charlesworth 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started at Crossfit Colchester just before they moved, and I was hooked from the moment I stepped into the box. Everyone has been SO welcoming and helpful. The workouts are amazing and forever changing to keep the body guessing and improving not to mention the sense of friendship and motivation from the other members and coaches within the classes. The classes are scaled accordingly, it's not just for the super fit people, that stigma may suggest. Before I started I couldn't skip (certain coach will agree ) and didn't realise how important technique was. I'd lost motivation in the gym and wanted a change and this was the BEST decision I made! When you join Crossfit Colchester you will be welcomed into a community with open arms, making new friends and begin to love a sport and develop a passion into being the best you can be, in all aspects of your life! So what you waiting for, join up and become a part of our crossfit family

Steve 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Crossfit colchester is by far the best gym I've ever been a member of. When i was previously a member at normal gym I would never go. I would never feel motivated to go and alot had to do with that i really didn't know what to do to get to best out of myself. Crossfit colchester are so welcoming, ego's are left at the front door and people are always there to help you through your workout. The coaches are unreal! Full of knowledge and are always there to correct your form. I went from never going and paying memberships to going 4-5 times a week. It's now a hobby for me and I absolutely love it. I fully recommend it to any abilities and age! Come join the crossfit family.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. I have been a "serial gym member" trying pretty much every gym in Colchester. This is the only one I stuck to (I'm 18 mo in and go at least 3x per week... Usually more). It's hard not to get addicted to this place. I was completely intimidated when I went. I was on my own, in my late 40's walking into a building where everyone looked so fit. It seemed like everyone knew eachother and I'd never be accepted as part of the team. How wrong was I? There are all sorts of fitness levels and everyone was so welcoming. Age doesn't matter and everything can be adjusted to meet your fitness levels. I currently train with a super fit 23 yr old and a 35 yr old mum of two (you know who you are)!! There is no need to feel like you don't deserve this gym. Can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place - fantastic programming and dedicated coaching with lovely, well looked after gear and great facilities.

Roger D 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Colchester is an amazing place for a number of reasons. 1) The Facility is just awesome. Lots of space and kit, and the all important showers missing in lots of CrossFit boxes. 2) The Community is so cool. CrossFit is renowned for its community and CFC is no exception. Whether a CrossFit pro or a noob you just become part of the team. There is now Cafe Fresh so you can hang out after a WOD and compare notes over a protein shake 3) Coaches are the best. Motivating, enthusiastic movement purists, passionate, serious and occasionally mental. 4) The Programming allows each workout or movement to be tailored to the individual so there is never any worry about being out your depth or not involved. I would 100% recommend trying CrossFit and there is no better place to start than CFC.
