Saxon CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: I haven't ever done any sports, been to the gym etc but felt I needed to do something as I have got older to keep fit and lose some weight. I had been building up to going to Crossfit for well over a couple of years but as with most things with anxiety, once I had finally started going, it wasn't anything to worry about, sometimes still a bit daunting but once you get going it is fine. The coaches are great and push you to do as much as you can whilst considering how you are coping with it and any injuries or concerns that you have and adjust the exercises accordingly, if you are struggling it is no issue as they will reduce weights and reps to suit your ability. It's a friendly place, class size is generally small, the exercises vary so it's never boring and unlike a gym you have a well trained coach and other members watching and helping you when you need it, there are people there of all abilities so you don't feel out of place whatever level you are at, best advice I can give to anyone who is unsure as I was is, just give it a go!

Fantastic experience: A really brilliant find! Great gym, lovely people and extremely talented trainers as well as excellent equipment.

Fantastic experience: Professional, and very helpful!

Fantastic experience: This review is probably one of the easiest reviews I have made, long but credit is well deserved ! For a couple of years i had thought about joining a CrossFit gym , but each time I wouldn’t, told myself I wasn’t fit enough, strong enough and after watching videos online been put off because they all look like machines and asking myself how the hell can I do that ! There’s No chance! After seeing posts by the club on Facebook I decided I needed to do something about my fitness and start feeling good about myself again. This is where the club came into their own. After a brief message with Alex I was booked in for a chat and discussions for what Saxon could do for me with no pressure to sign up. Alex reassured me the club is for every level and age of person and that the club is more than just a gym but a community a friendly place where everyone helps and doesn’t judge about your ability , I decided to sign up and give it a try I have just covered my 4th week and my fitness and strength levels has Increased, body fat lost and I feel way better for it. The club is all of what Alex described and more. I will never join a normal gym again. If your thinking of joining a Gym make it Saxon it’s a great friendly family run CrossFit gym. Thanks Guys

Fantastic experience: Saxon is a welcoming, friendly and fun place to be with such a great community. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I joined Saxon about 3 weeks ago and I’m loving it! The training sessions are great and the community is lovely. Looking forward to all of my upcoming sessions (and it’s unusual for me to look forward to exercise so I hope that speaks for Saxon well)!!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Saxon CrossFit. They cater to all abilities no matter if you are just starting your fitness journey or if you are more advanced. The members make this gym amazing, they are all so friendly and helpful. It is hard work but if you’re willing to put the effort in the rewards are more than you can imagine.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Saxon for about 7 years Amazing ,fun place to train whatever you’re fitness levels are . The staff/coaches are full of knowledge for you to get your best results . Definitely hit up Saxon CrossFit if you want to become better

Fantastic experience: Such a welcoming and friendly gym. I was nervous to go for the first time but was welcomed by lovely staff and attendees who made me feel at ease. I have enjoyed the CrossFit and Handstand class so far!

Fantastic experience: Joining Saxon Crossfit was the best decision I could have made. I decided to join to spend more time with my partner so we could train together, challenge ourselves and get fitter. Little did I know then that Crossfit at Saxon goes beyond training, the social factor from the classes and the community feeling is amazing. Crossfit is such a versatile and adaptable sport that even if you are starting your fitness journey or if you have practised other sports before, you will still find a rewarding and challenging experience for whatever your level is. Believe me, the superb coaching team will make sure of it! I must warn you that if you decide to join Saxon and train here, there is a high risk of you meeting incredible people that will support you in sport and life, who truly want you to succeed and will help you achieve the best version of yourself! If you are still reading this, what are you waiting for?! Join Saxon and let's share some workouts together. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Fantastic experience: I joined Saxon just over 2 years ago and have never looked back. Stepping foot into a new gym can be daunting but very quickly you’ll find that Saxon is full of like minded and supportive people who have the same focus as you. No matter what level of fitness you have, want to achieve, your age or ability, Saxon is for you. With the professional coaching, scalable guided workouts and constant support and encouragement from fellow Saxons (plus a bit of hard work) you’ll see results. The varied and progressive programming means no two classes are the same and there is something for everyone. The varied membership options and daily class schedule gives flexibility around family and work commitments, so something to suit all. I highly recommend coming for a taster class and seeing Saxon for youself.

Fantastic experience: Been a member of Saxon since 2021 and still love every session. As a father of young children with a busy working schedule, I thoroughly enjoy the opportunities that I get to train with a great bunch of like-minded people each week and look forward to each session (especially the 6am!). No egos, no judgement and plenty of energy! Would thoroughly recommend to anyone of any ability.

Fantastic experience: Joining Saxon CrossFit really helped me up my fitness level ! The community is also really lovely.

Fantastic experience: I was a little sceptical about joining initially but it only took one session to get me hooked! Saxon isn’t just a place to get fitted and strong, it’s a super supportive community of lovely people and awesome coaches! If you’re not sure get yourself down to a trial session and you will see what Saxon is all about,

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Saxon for around 6 years now. I am approaching 54. I keep going 5 days a week because I love the sense of community and the amazing quality of the coaching. Some people see those CrossFit memes and think it’s all about young people working at a million miles an hour, injuring themselves and throwing up! well it’s NOT! It’s right for all ages with varying degrees of mobility and you can scale everything to your ability. It’s got a great range of movements to suit anyone and I mean anyone! If you love Olympic lifting then u can do it! If you like sweating your guts out, then you can do it! And if you want skill based movements then guess what….you can do it! Come join Saxon, ask for Paul and I would be happy to support your first steps into what I think is a great way to keep healthy! See you there next week then! X

Fantastic experience: Saxon CrossFit is a welcoming, friendly gym. The coaches are experienced and knowledgeable, going to Saxon has got my fitness up to a whole new level. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to train. Coaches and members are great

Fantastic experience: Been a member since 2017 and love training here. Inclusive of all abilities and always a great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Deciding to move away from a regular gym to Saxon CrossFit in my 40’s was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve become fitter and stronger but also more confident as a person thanks to the coaches encouraging me to believe in myself and to push myself that little bit harder in training. But Saxon has lots more to offer than excellent coaching and programming, it is a community of strong minded, positive, supportive and welcoming people which is where the real strength comes from and keeps me going back ☺️ If you are in any doubt at all, book a taster session. You won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Saxon has a great community of likeminded people, and is somewhere you can make friends for life. I’ve been training there for over a year now and have made huge amounts of progress. The coaches are very knowledgeable, supportive and push you to achieve your best.

Fantastic experience: Saxon coaches are encouraging, knowledgeable, supportive, recognise your progress and celebrate with you. The workouts are varied and challenge you to improve across multiple areas, and are tailored to help you get the most out of them, whatever level you're at. Specialised classes such as level up, strongman, olympic weightlifting, handstands, gymnastics, crossfitness and conditioning also offer so much in terms of expertise and variety. Above all else, everyone talks about the community at Saxon because it really is amazing! It's a super friendly and inspiring atmosphere with a fantastic group of people.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility. Everyone made me feel very welcome. The coaches were incredibly helpful and more than willing to adapt workouts to help my reduced physical needs

Fantastic experience: I love the varied workouts but most of all I enjoy the chance to put the trails and tribulations of the day behind you and have a chat and laugh with some good people.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, great coaches, really leveled up my training in a way I would never have imagined.

Fantastic experience: Friendly atmosphere, great community, varied programming & great coaches.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I had previously gone to a different CrossFit gym when we lived in Chesterfield and since moving to Norfolk and finding ourselves in the position to start back at CrossFit we have been welcomed into Saxon with open arms. The workouts are challenging and if you ask me once they’re finished, enjoyable too. It’s a great place to come and workout and not have to think about what you need to do, you can just come and trust that you’re going to walk away at the end having done a good workout and with a clearer mind!

Fantastic experience: Saxon is a welcoming space to build a strong exercise routine and learn the CrossFit ethos whilst surrounded by like minded people. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: A really friendly group that welcomes all ages and abilities. Expert advice given to participants as required. Sessions are varied, stimulating and offer something for everyone. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and welcoming gym for all.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and great facilities, I can recommend Saxon CrossFit highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Saxon Crossfit for nearly 7 years. The programming is great as is the inclusive culture . You don’t need to be an expert or Crossfit athlete , the trainers help you though anything that’s new and unfamiliar and the community of members is what keeps me coming back . Thank you Saxon team ! Would thoroughly recommend !

Fantastic experience: One of the most friendly, welcoming and supportive communities I’ve been part of. I’ve been a member for over 2 years now and every session is amazing from the coaches to programming and the other members. Would 100% recommend to anyone with any level of ability, it’s absolutely for everyone. Even when I’ve been injured I’ve been encouraged to go and still do what I can by adapting the workouts to suit me which has been a massive thing that I am very grateful for! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Saxons was supposed to be the gap fill between two sports when I was unsure what to do next. However, I am still here and enjoying myself. The coaches are knowledgable, there are lots of new skills to learn and there is a competitive atmosphere that I love.

Fantastic experience: Saxon helped me get my fitness back on track and built my confidence to try things I never thought I’d be able to do. It’s a welcoming and supportive community.

Fantastic experience: As a complete beginner to crossfit or gym setting exercise, Saxon Crossfit and in particular Alex, have been super supportive and encouraging. First class coaching around safety in the classes. Am enjoying every session, especially the variety of the exercises

Fantastic experience: Great community to be part of with great coaches

Fantastic experience: Saxon CrossFit is genuinely somewhere that anyone of any age or fitness level can go and feel immediately welcome and comfortable. I love the fact that it’s class based so you always have a coach on hand to help, encourage and challenge you. Every class is different but you are always working on improving your own skills in whatever area of fitness the class is focussed on. I also like that you can go to open gym and just do your own thing if you want to. I started CrossFit at the age of 64 and six years later I can do far more than I could then and am still improving. Saxon is a community where you find friends of all ages and it is so supportive so there’s never any need to feel worried if you can’t do a particular activity for whatever reason- everything can be scaled to suit wherever you’re at. I usually have to scale the weights for example. There’s also the opportunity to push yourself further in competitions or in- house throw downs if you want to- and there’s also a great social life. I couldn’t recommend Saxon more highly.Below is me attempting double unders- one of my goals for this year

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place to train with a real community vibe. Friendly coaches who push you to be your best and great members who support you and are fun to train alongside. We have trained here for 10 years and still love it just the same as we did when we started.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Saxon, from the start they’ve made me feel so comfortable, they’re super caring and lovely people that make you feel so welcomed. Saxon are dedicated to their clients, and if you want change in yourself they’ll push you to achieve your goals, which I certainly have! Best thing of all, it’s like one big family, everyone supports everyone. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Saxon CrossFit for a couple of years, and I absolutely love it! The training sessions are fantastic, and I’ve seen such a huge improvement in my fitness. The coaches are amazing – they focus on the right techniques, ensure you're pushing yourself safely, and always motivate you to do your best. The community is incredible too! I’ve made so many great friends, and the supportive environment makes every session something I look forward to. Highly recommend Saxon CrossFit to anyone looking to improve their fitness and be part of an amazing community!

Fantastic experience: I had a few weeks of drop in sessions at Saxon Crossfit and the team were fantastic, very professional and welcoming!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Saxon enough. I've been coming here for a year and feel very much part of the community which is unusual as I of often find it hard to fit in. Come if you're bored of your gym work out and looking for something more varied, come if you're looking to take the next step in your fitness journey, come if you want unrivaled support from the community.

Fantastic experience: Been going for five years now and have never felt better about myself. Caters to every skill level from competition to first timer with friendly, knowledgeable and experienced coaches. Absolutely perfect if you have low motivation to go to a gym, or are relatively inexperienced. Thoroughly recommend!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic place to enjoy getting fit, with a supportive community around you. The workouts suit all abilities, from beginners to competitors and the coaches are so accommodating to individual needs. I personally love the fact my toddler is welcome at the sessions with me, to allow me to still train consistently, and juggle a little one and it give her a fantastic sociable experience. I'm looking forward to her becoming old enough to become an official member.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic community at Saxon. Wish I’d taken this up 20 years ago!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! It's a welcoming environment where you are invited to perform to whatever level you need with a helpful nudge towards progress. Accomodating staff and all the weight and equipment you could need.

Fantastic experience: Saxon is an awesome place to workout, have a laugh and socialise with likeminded individuals. It doesn’t matter how fit you are Saxon caters for all. When I started I was really unfit having not trained for years, I had major reservations about joining but from my first session the Coaching team and fellow members of Saxon made me feel right at home. I have made some great friends through Saxon and I love every session, the community feel Saxon has created is unlike other CrossFit affiliates and normal gyms. I highly recommend Saxon, I promise you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Felt so welcomed the first class I did here, and felt part of the community within days, everyone spoke to me like they’d known me for years and the coaches are the perfect mix of professional and personable. Can’t recommend this gym enough

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Saxon for about 6 months now and it’s been great. The coaches are knowledgable and encouraging, and the other members really help build a supportive atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: ★★★★★ I’ve been going to this CrossFit gym for a few years now, and I can’t recommend it enough! The environment is welcoming, the coaches are knowledgeable and supportive, and the community is fantastic. No matter your fitness level, there’s always a way to scale the workouts to suit your abilities, making it accessible for everyone. I love the variety of classes and how every session feels different and engaging. The coaches are always approachable and encouraging, creating a space where you can push yourself while feeling supported. If you’re looking for a gym with great people, expert coaching, and constantly varied workouts, this is the place to come!

Fantastic experience: I have been at Saxon Crossfit for many years now and will continue for many years to come. It is a gym that provides brilliant, supportive coaches and wonderful members making it a fun place to work out and be social. In the last few months I have been even more supported as I continue my training journey throughout pregnancy and the coaches have been supportive, adaptive and encouraging to me to ensure that I keep safe and healthy whilst working out during my pregnancy. I 100% recommend giving this place a try.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly place, good equipment and instructors.

Fantastic experience: Saxon CrossFit is the first gym I have actually enjoyed going to. A friendly community with great coaches and everyone helping each other. A range of classes to suit everyone

Fantastic experience: Really welcoming when first joined. Friendly atmosphere. Great knowledge and coaching. Really enjoying my time as part of the Saxon community. ⚔️

Fantastic experience: Great box. Been going just over a year. Friendly staff and good technical coaching. All abilities catered for and a great supportive community.

Fantastic experience: Both the coaching staff and the members help make everyone feel welcome and encourage you along. There is such a range of ability and nobody is made to feel like they don’t fit. The coaches work with you to find what you can do and build from there. This is much more motivating than just turning up ti a normal gym ti work machines on your own.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Saxon for around a year, and I can confidently say it's an outstanding place to train. The community here is incredibly supportive, making it a great environment to learn and build up your skills. The coaches are high quality and very knowledgeable, always ready to help you improve. Plus, the workouts are really fun and engaging. If you're looking for a place to get fit and be part of a fantastic community, I'd highly recommend Saxon.

Fantastic experience: Joined Saxon 3 years ago and it still remains the best decision for my fitness journey! As my goals change the Saxon coaches are always on hand with programmes to suit. I have previously opted into the ‘goal setting’ bundle for when i wanted to build strength, with specific & personal workouts programmed and tailored for me. Currently i have opted into the ‘nutritional package’ to keep me accountable with my diet to ensure i am getting the most out of my training sessions. I have been really impressed with how inclusive and supportive Saxon is with all ages & levels of fitness training together. Highly recommend to anyone at any stage of their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at Saxon for a couple of years after moving to Norfolk. The coaches are great and the community is super supportive. Great range of classes and events! Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: A great experience and team

Fantastic experience: I joined Saxon CrossFit after a trial that was organised easily and quickly via email. I haven’t been able to commit to a full membership right now due to work and childcare commitments but I would recommend this box to anyone and everyone. There is a friendly community spirit and all workouts are scaled and adapted to every members needs. I will be back! Many thanks to all who made me feel welcome. I’ll be continuing some of the workouts from home until I can return.

Positive experience: Great varied programme

Fantastic experience: Really well run, friendly place

Fantastic experience: I’ve loved becoming part of Saxon and over the last few months have seen my fitness, strength and confidence in the classes improve week on week. The membership is such good value as each class is fully coached and all the coaches are super friendly, helpful and always accommodating for those that are less experienced. I’ve felt able to start pushing myself more because of this. The team spirit at Saxon is awesome and all members are friendly and encouraging of each other. So glad I signed up. By far my best decision of 2021!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Saxon Crossfit for about a month now and am loving it!
