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: Amazing place. The coaches are passionate and knowledgeable, and the workouts are scalable so everyone can take part. I love it and wouldn't want to go anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: Great coaches and atmosphere. Everyone working at their own level and encouraged to challenge themselves
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
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
Fantastic experience: Friendly people and a great club to be a member of. It's a really nice venue too with its own snack bar, beauticians and barbers!
Fantastic experience: This place has been a life saver for me, I love the coaches, members and the cafe. They are all so helpful. I would recommend this place to everyone. Helped me massively through anxiety and severe depression. I now cannot go a day without these guys and the workouts. Thank you crossfit Colchester.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing, the team are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is electric. Outstanding place for gains.
Fantastic experience: Excellent crossfit gym with great facilities, lots of new equipment, friendly and professional coaching staff as well as challenging and interesting programming. Look forward to returning whenever I'm in the area.
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.
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.
