CrossFit^® 1971

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Great coaches, great community. It’s not easy to have a group of coaches who each bring something special to a gym but somehow they have managed to find that here. So much knowledge and skill. Everyone and anyone is always welcome, always looked after and there’s always someone on hand to respond to what you need. I’ve been here for 6 years now and love it. You get the same care, treatment and quality coaching whether you are day one and new to CrossFit or 6 + years in. Great place. Thank you!

Negative experience: Avoid like the plague. There are far better CrossFit gyms with owners that won’t coerce you into a contract you didn’t sign up for. Be very careful. Loads of hidden fees and charges. Will not even let you cancel so they can keep threatening you with extra fees.

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches, great workouts, friendly members and modern equipment.

Fantastic experience: Nice place to train. A variety of exercise and good atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff and fully equipped box. Strongly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out with friendly people, great trainers who support you, motivates you to challenge yourself at every workout.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, the conditioning class was well structured, well taught and a full on workout (brutal). If you are looking for a crossfit gym in the area highly recommend

Negative experience: I don't really know where to begin. I went here for a month in november 2021 with my boyfriend. We attended several classes with different coaches. My boyfriend was new to crossfit so he attended the fundamental classes and I went with him sometimes. They let you pick the 20kg barbells in fundamental classes to teach you snatches. They should advise new people to use PVC or 7kg barbells because if you are new to crossfit you don't know which barbell to use. They don't do streching after the classes and the warm up is a joke (5 minutes only). One of the trainers told us that is not ok to do streching after crossfit. They don't watch new people in classes so you could get an injury so easily, but it's not a problem I guess because they even have a big advertise on the wall for a physiotherapy cabinet, so at least you know where to go after. Gymnastic classes are the ones that are ok, because you don't need weight equipment. The last class that we attended was even the worst one. It was a class with a team wod so I went with my boyfriend and we wanted to do the wod together obviously, but the lady coach told me that I should pick another partner because he is new so he would affect my score, like we were in crossfit games there, not in a class. The wod that day was with some running but you need to ask where should you run because they don't tell you, they expect you to know. It's a shame because if you are new to crossfit you don't know that all of the things I wrote are so wrong and I think boxes like this get people the idea that crossfit is terrible.

Fantastic experience: Best box in East London! It’s only due to change of job and convenience that I’m leaving, but this gym has amazing coaches and a great community, which make every workout something to look forward to! Really going to miss working out here!

Fantastic experience: Have been attending the box for a couple of months before moving out of London! Great open space gym with helpful coaches and very well equipped. Classes are well balanced and decently priced for London standards. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic experience: Usually a hater of anything class related, my mind was quickly changed with the quality of coaching at 1971. Welcomed right from the onset, this box has great equipment, the best motivators and intense but fun workouts. Already missing the team.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, great people, great gym!

Fantastic experience: I've been going here since last year. The box is big and well equipped. The coaches are very friendly, encouraging, knowledgeable and attentive. The programming is good and there are lots of time slots to choose from. There are also a variety of memberships so everyone can find something that suits them. I totally recommend.

Fantastic experience: Amazing space & equipment and some really great coaches!

Fantastic experience: Great environment. Good coaches. I used the gym for strongman training as they have equipment there suitable for my training.

Fantastic experience: What an amazing place! Love the gym, classes and trainers :)

Fantastic experience: I went to multiple CrossFit in London and CrossFit 1971 end up being the best. Amazing staff, great atmosphere and the best workouts. The level on the gym is quite high in comparison with others CrossFit in London.

Fantastic experience: Great space & equipment, friendly team, excellent range of classes for all levels.

Fantastic experience: I went to Gym1971 this weekend as a drop in for their open gym slot. I needed a place with crossfit equipment which I don't have all of at home for a qualifier workout. The back/open gym space was spacious and clean with friendly people coming in and through. The space has a great vibe with good music and most importantly positive atmosphere which I got a feel for even with that one visit. Members manager Filip has been very responsive prior to my visit, which showed great care. I know some members of that gym and some coaches from a variety of crossfit competitions and what I always loved about Gym1971 is their strong community and engaged coaches - I'd always see big groups of Gym1971 members at comps all supporting and cheering on each other. Definitely a box worth visiting and I will definitely be coming back more often. Can't recommend enough anyone in the area to try.

Fantastic experience: It’s not just a box or simply another working out space! It’s a very supportive community with great quality coaches. If you haven’t had the chance to workout with Laura, please do she is not just talented and a great coach, she is a star and will make you fall in love with CrossFit and challenge your aims.

Fantastic experience: Great gym - huge space, especially for London, all the equipment you could need, and a super flexible timetable. Something for everyone here from beginners to competitive athletes. Glad I joined

Fantastic experience: I've been doing CF for about ten years. When I moved to London, I found it quite difficult to find a box where you could find genuinely nice people AND great programming/coaches. It took a while, but Gym 1971 IS THE ONE. All of the coaches are absolutely fantastic - they take the time to make sure you're doing the movements properly, and they call me out whenever they know I can do better, which is so motivating. The coaches, and the members, are also such genuinely nice people, and it took no time at all for me to feel at home and fit in, with no cliques. On the training side, I don't think I've ever, in all of my years of training, seen this much of an improvement in myself. After a few months, I could see a significant difference that stretched to other areas of my training - such as cycling, running. I have more energy, I'm motivated, and I genuinely look forward to every session at CF1971.

Fantastic experience: I joined 1971 over two years ago and haven’t looked back since! Not only has my fitness improved substantially but I’ve found myself part of a vibrant and diverse community and have met some of my very best friends. What is great about 1971 is the mix of abilities from the members. This allows each person to learn from one other and push each other during class and workouts. The coaches are incredible. They continually develop and are passionate about learning so they can offer members the best advice possible. The opening hours are great and the gym has all the Crossfit equipment you need plus more. I can’t imagine life without 1971 and would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to come and give it a try regardless if you’re a seasoned crossfitter or a compete newbie.

Fantastic experience: I higly recommend this Crossfit Gym. Quality of coaches is extremely high, really well prepared and always available to help people improving. The classes atmosphere is amazing: I'm a regular of 6:30AM Crossfit classes and I have to say that we act like a team, supporting each other day in and day out.

Fantastic experience: After years of hearing great things about CrossFit training, a friend finally convinced me to join a CrossFit gym. I've been going to Gym 1971 for about 6 months now and it has been a life changing experience for me. Not only is a well-equipped facility, but it has super friendly and welcoming members and coaches. Couldn't be happier, having found a new way of training and an amazing community to be part of!

Fantastic experience: Moved to East London few months ago and I was looking for a Crossfit gym nearby and couldn’t have found a better training facility. Being a Crossfit newbie the thought of starting in a new place was daunting however both coaches and members were very welcoming and encouraging! Very happy to now form part of such an amazing community.

Fantastic experience: I moved down to London about 4 months ago and was feeling quite isolated in a new city. Joining the 1971 team was the best thing I could have done, not only have I made friends but I've found a new way of training which I love! Could not recommend enough

Fantastic experience: 11/10 would definitely recommend. All of the coaches are super friendly and professional, and everyone who attends gym is also super friendly and supportive - if you are new to the gym / new to CrossFit the foundation classes are perfect for learning the basics and ensuring you can progress without injury & there is a wide range of classes from Gymnastics, to CrossFit, conditioning and more - so you can always find something that works for you.

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out with lovely, friendly and welcoming people / trainers. Would strongly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great communication from staff.

Negative experience: Terrible customer service !I tried to call the number several times and was told by the 'receptionist' that they will have someone call me regarding my questions about joining etc . They even took my contact details but I received no call back nor email . I called them again 4 times asking the same but I still got the same response! Very disappointed and I won't even bother bringing my services here! I will just consult with other cross fit organisations and advise others to do the same!

Fantastic experience: Epic gym, have done a great job with making safe for recent COVID regulations and looking forward to more sessions

Fantastic experience: Fantastic CrossFit gym with a great bunch of coaches. Dan, Phil, Rachel, Nathan and the rest of the team are fantastic and really help with technique and encourage you to perform at you best. Whether you are new to CrossFit or experienced I would highly recommend 1971. I am gutted that I had to leave due to relocating jobs :-(!

Positive experience: Wasn't open when I tried to pay a visit, so I don't know one way or the other if is any good.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with an amazing selection of equipment! Awesome classes and excellent coaching.

Fantastic experience: top !!!

Fantastic experience: Great environment, well located and great coaches!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic box. Took me from newb to all movements in 9 months. High quality coaching, great social events and very good pricing. Open to any fitness level since the coaches give great scaling options. Join, it'll change your life.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, great people, great atmosphere. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Very nice box with really great coachs

Fantastic experience: A great place with excellent staff and facilities and particularly welcoming to those taking up Crossfit for the first time!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, amazing atmosphere and facilities.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in while traveling. Good facility; well equipped. The coach, Silvia, was helpful and the rest of the class was generally friendly. The place is easy to find and five minutes from the Stratford tube stop. The only negative was they didn't have t-shirts in my size. Hopefully next time.

Fantastic experience: Great gym space. Instructors are well informed and take their time to consistently check member's form & technique. There is a great membership base where members motivate each other - irrespective of ability. The gym feels very inclusive and the team clearly make an effort to know everybody by name.

Fantastic experience: Epic gym, with so much kit that you don't find in the other boxes in london. Nothing better than flipping tyres!! Great community and coaches

Fantastic experience: Such a friendly, helpful and knowledgeable box. I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am to find this gem of a facility so close to Stratford station. If anyone is considering starting crossfit then this is a place where you will be welcomed and looked after. I love it here.

Fantastic experience: Joined as a complete beginner and I've received some outstanding (and patient) coaching from both Flan and Dan. They both have a great attention to detail helping me progress and improve technique. Huge gym with all the equipment you'd need and a great community feel too. Really enjoying myself and can't recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, a really friendly and supportive environment, the coaches know just how to get me working out at my best! I've only been a member for 2 months but my fitness and endurance has drastically improved - it would have taken me at least 6 months to get this good in a normal gym! Well worth it!

Fantastic experience: Great box, instructors and community. Instructors are top notch, great advice, there is just as much focus on mobility & stretching than fitness - i've sorted out pains in my knee and massively improved strength and fitness all round.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Gym with some of the best coaching I have ever had. if your a beginner or a seasoned crossfitter this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: A top box with a great space, super coaches and a very friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Fab gym with a great atmosphere and run by quality coaches!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome place! Training is incredibly fun and the coaches are insanely knowledgeable and very inspiring to be around! :)

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaching!Awesome box!Makes me look forward to waking up at 5am every morning!

Fantastic experience: Great workout with knowledgable guys who are only interested in making you better. Couldn't recommend it more.
