CrossFit^® Avon

Positive experience: I enjoyed going to the classes here, and they were always challenging, well-coached, and accessible. However, the programming seemed completely random and I think I lost strength over the time I went there. I'm now just doing normal gym sessions and making progress again. Also there is the weird crossfit stuff like doing complex olympic lifts as a conditioning exercise, which doesn't make much sense to me. I also found the social side wasn't as good as I was expecting. The coaches don't put in paired exercises much, so there's less chance to get to know people. And socials are very rare.

Fantastic experience: Did a drop in March 2023. I learned a lot from Declan’s great coaching. Always room to learn and improve. It was fun working out with a great group of people in the UK. I’m very happy I was able to attend. As someone from the US doing a dropping in, the ability to sign the waiver and payment was difficult. Best to bring cash.

Negative experience: I used to attend this gym years ago and it was great however unfortunately I’ve been seriously unimpressed lately as we have received zero communication after our intro session was cancelled at the last minute. Texts, calls, emails and literally no response. Really disappointing and shows a disregard for new joiners and customer service…such a shame!

Fantastic experience: One of them was that I was on my journey with someone. I was on the journey with my boyfriend Dusty whom I have been with for four years. I am more like myself when I am with someone, especially Dusty, than when I am by myself. I do think that spending time with just yourself is a waste of time. You should just be out talking to people because who knows when that dreaded day of death will come. I think that you should just seize the moment and spend time with people. When I am by myself, I am quiet and withdrawn, but when I am with people, I talk up a storm and have a fun time just being me. I donÕt hold things back or try to act like someone IÕm not. Another similarity was when I was talking about the rocks. This is what I said. ÒOh my gosh, we just ran into a huge cave filled with rocks. There are rocks everywhere. It is like a rock country. I can not believe it. There are small rocks, big rocks, pretty rocks, ugly rocks, thin rocks, and fat rocks. It is so amazing. There are rocks on top of the cave that are starting to bother me, they are very big, and they do not look too steady up there. I do not know about those. I tell Dusty and Duke to get away from there because I donÕt want them to get hurt if the rocks were to fall. Duke does not want to listen; he tries to climb up the side of the cave to get a better look at the rocks on top. As he goes up, one of the rocks he is on begins to fall. Duke falls with it and he is not moving. Dusty goes over and shakes him and thank god he is alright.Ó I think that this describes exactly how I deal with problems and how I see problems in my life. I always see them as these amazing ordeals and they often scare me. Then something will happen and I will think that it is going to be the end of the world, and then everything turns out to be just fine in the end.

Fantastic experience: A great supportive team who encourage everyone! I’ve really enjoyed my first month!

Fantastic experience: Been going since May 2021 and loving it! Nice bunch of people and a good mix of abilities, whatever time of day you go. The coaches are friendly, engaging and fun, which makes for a good experience, even at 6am on a cold winters morning.

Fantastic experience: Can’t get enough of this box! Excellent coaching, accessible to all and very friendly! It the best way for me to keep motivated to go working out! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely team to be around and a great community! Coaches are approachable and very knowledgeable. The timetable is perfect - CrossFit Avon has become one of my favourite places to be!

Fantastic experience: The community and coaches here are excellent, and all the classes are well balanced for individuals working at each level. In particular, the smaller class sizes allow the coaches to be more attentive to each individual and help you focus on your weaknesses and improve at a much faster rate than un-coached training! It's also great to be able to train with individuals who are better than yourself, as it gives you a level to work toward in each session.

Fantastic experience: Recent addition to the Crossfit Avon community and couldn't have picked a better place. Great coaching and friendly, no nonsense box at a very reasonable price for Bristol. The introduction course prior to joining was an excellent small group session to ensure we were all safe and confident before hitting the classes. Would recommend giving it a go if you're looking to join Crossfit.

Negative experience: Great coaches but poor equipment, prices and classes available don't add up. Before joining, you'll need to spend £120 in 3 sessions and then an unlimited membership is around £105. Compared to competitors around Bristol the classes offered by this box are not as dynamic and the price is too high for what's available.

Negative experience: Poor equipment and facilities and complete lack of response to customer feedback. Shame because some great coaches and friendly members.

Fantastic experience: I'm so impressed with the level of coaching at this branch of crossfit. I was initially drawn on by the fact that they don't let you loose until you've had 1 to 1 pt sessions (Johnny is amazing). This is because they don't want you to get injured - the big criticism crossfit faces is that incorrect form leads to injuries. The community is great and even though I'm still often the last one finishing I leave every session feeling a buzz. My

Fantastic experience: Incredible staff and classes

Fantastic experience: Crossfit avon is exactly what I've been after for a long time. The perfect balance of a friendly fitness oriented community, balanced with good solid workouts and extremely diligent and attentive coaches. I've learnt so much since joining and seen so much improvement over the last 6 months. Can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: I’m currently 6 sessions in to my training with Crossfit Avon and only have the best things to say. For me, the best thing about crossfit Avon is the quality of the coaching. I have a lot of experience with coaches of differing standards and honestly believe that these are amongst the best out there. Every member of the class is given attention and the critiques and tips offered are so much more than meaningless throw away comments. I am anticipating big improvements in my performance as a result of this quality box!

Fantastic experience: Yes. I feel like death and everything hurts after a visit, but them I feel amazing after that's worn off. Friendly bunch and not full of posers.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for the 17:30 class and had a fantastic time. A great bunch of people who were very welcoming and none of that clique rubbish I’ve experienced at other boxes. Attentive coaching by Kaz(?) who paid individual attention to everyone during the workouts. Definitely worth a look if you’re a travelling CrossFit enthusiast. Top marks!

Fantastic experience: While I hate it at the time I'm training, ultimately I love it. Lovely people, great work outs. Need to clear your head, head here.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and amazing people, I've made some great friends here and can't recommend it enough

Fantastic experience: Lovely community

Fantastic experience: I get fitter here, you should too.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Crossfit Avon enough - two years in and still so challenging and fun!

Fantastic experience: A really welcoming and fun community. I have been pushed physically and developed loads of new skills since joining! Coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and really supportive. i constantly feel challenged and you never get complacent! Give it a go!!

Fantastic experience: I've been going for 18 months and love it. I have been doing various sorts of physical training for many years but have been surprised by how much progress i have made in fitness, strength, and wellbeing, but it's also great because of the friends and community.

Fantastic experience: Terrific way to get super fit, everything can be scaled down (or up!) so suitable for all fitness levels. Friendly and knowledgeable coaches and all the gear you'll need.

Fantastic experience: It's easy to see why people who do crossfit get addicted by crossfit. The gym, although basic in its features, is run by very enthusiastic and friendly coaches and attended by equally friendly people. If you attend regularly you will no doubt make friends with those in the same class as you and new members are made to feel very welcome.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and friendly professional coaching, good facilities and the kit is well looked after and always being upgraded. Perfect for those new to Crossfit and those seasoned Crossfitters too.

Fantastic experience: I discovered crossfit Avon afte rAndrew ran a fitness session for some of my scouts. He gave me the marketing speal and I thought I'd give it a try. 18 months later and I am still loving it all. The community here is great, always feels good walking through the door, being greeted by everybody. The WODs are intense but mostly good fun. The Olympic Lifting classes are great for improving technical ability. The coaches know everybody by name, and there is a social every month or so - always a big turnout.

Fantastic experience: I found Crossfit Avon after becoming frustrated with a lack of progress from the repetitive fitness classes I was doing at a local gym. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Within weeks I was fitter, faster and stronger than ever and over the last 2 and a half years I've gone from barely being able to do a pull up to competing for Crossfit Avon at one of the largest team competitions in Europe! The staff at Crossfit Avon are top notch and along with the amazing members cultivate a real sense of community. The programming is extremely well thought out and the knowledgeable coaching staff have great attention to detail and always know how to help each individual progress. Can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: Excellent Gym couldn't recommend enough. Programming is diverse and constantly evolving, coaches are very supportive and quick to address form and the atmosphere in classes is so much better than your traditional gyms. Great place to have fun, learn new skills and get in shape

Fantastic experience: Really friendly place to train. The coaches are really knowledgeable and always willing to help you. Small group classes. This is the place to be if you are looking to get fit.

Fantastic experience: Really wasn't sure I'd be up to the intensity of CrossFit but gave it a go anyway. 18 months later and I'm still loving it! Feel so much healthier, fixed my posture and my back-ache. Also really enjoy the high quality of training and tuition from Andrew, Charlie and the rest of the team + the team spirit and support amongst the members is excellent. This isn't a gym like you know it - in this one you'll work far harder, enjoy it more and actually have a laugh with the people you're training with. You'll never get bored at CrossFit!
