Royal Docks Fitness: Opinions

4.5/5 (77 Opinions)

Fantastic experience: I just wanted to send a message to say how brilliant Samira has been. I'm on a 10 class pack while I'm down working in London for 6 weeks. Always wanted to try crossfit but was always a bit reluctant as didn't think I'd be able to do a lot of the movements. Samira has been so welcoming and is a brilliant coach. I've never felt awkward about getting stuff wrong and she's really helped get confident with stuff I've always stayed away from in the gym. I would absolutely be joining if I lived close by. I also think the culture you've got in the gym overall is great, so well done all of you.

Negative experience: Wanted to do a WOD/Crossfit dropin. No phone number on website. Emailed them but no reply. You're right by Excel - you're missing out on a lot of dropin?

Fantastic experience: The selection of equipment was great, with everything I needed for a 5x5 workout. The barbells and weights were well-stocked, making my workout seamless. Additionally, the staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome during my visit. If you're looking for a gym to train at for a day, this is definitely worth checking out.

Fantastic experience: A super friendly gym with some rather high profile athletes passing through their doors. The intro to Functional Fitness was concise and enjoyable. They have also made fantastic modifications to suit social distancing. Go for the workout, stay for the banter

Lesley Dallas 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had a great chiropractic/ physio blend appointment with Ben for my lower back pain. He took time to talk through and understand my challenges, provided some immediate correction, then planned some exercises / routine to follow to strengthen this weaker area. Would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Finally I'm able to allocate some time to share my honest, personal opinion of Royal Docks CrossFit box. About the coaches: First of all must say how extremely grateful I am to the coaches and for the way how religiously they lead this box. Each of them has their own high individual skill to keep you motivated day by day. They all have a very high standard knowledge of not even just coaching CrossFit but being mobile, how to set and achieve your goals, how to scale the exercises regarding what fitness level you are and finally making sure you do the exercises in their perfect form using the right technic. I do fitness regularly for 3 years now. Last year I achieved my PT and RKC instructor diploma but I must admit I learned more in the past 3 months since I start my CrossFit journey with them. About the box. The place is big enough and well equipped. (There are no step pads though if you need them go and do Les mills classes lol :)) Its great that there are limitations for the class bookings, you always feel safe and confident when you do the workout. You never find this place crowded. The music always various and very enjoyable and motivational. Especially the rock/metal days Average CrossFit boxes has limited hours to attend. Here is not the case. This box is open whole day including weekends as well. Wide range of classes available as well. From the classic WOD throughout cardio, powerlifting and thanks for Ben now Mobility class is available too. About the members/team The community is great. Everyone's very helpful and motivational. Used to visit virgin active regularly, you cannot compare how different the atmosphere is. People come to train here and not hanging on their phone and complain how s....y their life is. You will be surrounded with very kind and friendly people. About me Just recently upgraded to unlimited membership. I continuously break my PB-s. Just for the record my back squat went up with 15kg, My deadlift improved 20kg, strict press 12.5kg and so on. My mindset completely changed in the past 3 months. My ego dropped dramatically in a good way. I am facing now with my limitations and settled down new goals in fitness. I truly realized what is to being Fit and I just want to be better and better day by day. I do apologize for the long feedback but the review stated above is well deserved towards them. My best regards, Levente Bajnok

Matt Salt 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love this place - I’ve been coming for the last 3 months and on the first session with each coach, I was made to feel welcome and treated as an individual rather than a customer. The classes are often full so it’s a good idea to book a few days in advance but coaches will make an effort to fit you in if possible. I had been looking for something to get the adrenaline going to fill the void post-uni sports and this ticks all the boxes.

Royal Docks Fitness

Thank you so much Matt! We are all so glad you are enjoying your time at RDCF! keep up the good work :)

Mark phillips 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have now attended 4 classes plus initial induction at RDCF, have trained with Dan, Ben & David, not had the pleasure of training with Bart yet.. All the coaches are so supportive with the right balance of pushing you further than you comfortably think you can go and at the same time " keeping a beady eye on your welfare". As a total novice I was unsure whether this was my thing.. 2 weeks in and I'm hooked, great friendly vibe with co crossfitters, very supportive.. Give this box a try...

Matt Newman 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: After having gone to the gym for 3/4 years doing predominantly resistance training, coming to a place where the trainers are not only SO good at explaining each individual movement you learn, but are attentive enough to ensure each time you go you are building upon your progress week by week. ALL THE WHILE instilling the need for fast-paced metabolic conditioning, ensuring the puported "fake crossfit rep" is NOT allowed. If you want to improve your technique, strength, explosive power and cardiovascular fitness (or you just want to learn to do walking handstands and muscle ups because they're cool), do not be concerned that you won't get your value for money here, because you will.

Katy Bradbury 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: This box has been my first soirée into the world of crossfit and I am a complete convert! It's a fabulous space with ample room and excellent equipment. But what really makes it are the people. The instructors are excellent, friendly and encouraging. They work intuitively to know when to push you and when you have maxxed out. The workouts are creative and hugely varied, I have yet to do the same one twice! The Olympic weightlifting sessions also excellent for building confidence. The gym has a great community spirit, you get to know people and you receive a personalised approach. I have been attending royal docks crossfit for a good few months now and intend to continue doing so for many years to come. Thanks for giving me a renewed enthusiasm for exercise and helping me to push myself always! I would recommend this place to anyone whether a complete beginner like myself or a professional athlete. It is suitable for all!

Jon Hanna 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend -both for people wanting to improve their overall fitness and more experienced athletes wanting to take their overall fitness to the next level. I don't go as often as I would like - due to family commitments and other sports - but as someone who has played sport professionally I have rarely found a gym or sports community so welcoming and focussed on helping you improve - whatever your starting point. Give it a go.

Royal Docks Fitness

Hi Maria, We are very sorry that you struggled to book into a class... We are a little confused as you do not appear on our booking system nor do we have an email thread under your name?? We get to know all of our members but cannot find you at all on our system???perhaps your membership is under a different name from the one you used here? Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] we would be happy to reimburse you your membership in full should we be mistaken.

Angela Whitbread 8 years ago

Negative experience: No available classes to book from 6.30pm when you want to go later or train on your own they wont let you or say its full and for professionals!!!

Royal Docks Fitness

Hi Angela, We are sorry that you struggled to book in for the sessions you wanted... Like most gyms our busiest classes are always around 18.30 during the week... 28 out of 29 classes we run Mon-Fri are completely mixed ability. We only run one advanced class (off peak) at 20.30 on Thursday evenings. Apologies if this was not made clear to you. Also it is a little confusing as we do not seem to have a record of you on our booking system nor have we revcieved any emails from you?? Perhaps your membership is under a different name from the one you used here? If you would like to come back to RDCF we would love to offer you a FREE class :) Cheers RDCF
