CrossFit® Paratus: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I joined the beginners course in June at CrossFit Paratus after wanting to try CrossFit for a while but always felt too anxious or worried I wouldn’t be fit enough, so the course was the perfect way to learn the language,get familiar with the workouts and the gym in a smaller group After a few years of using different gyms I lost my own motivation and felt a bit stuck so wanted a new challenge to make me enjoy exercise again and this was a great opportunity to ease myself in. The beginners course is such a welcoming and encouraging way to join, I looked forward to the classes every week feeling more confident each time. Dan and Sarah made it so less daunting and really took away the scariness of trying something new! They make you feel as if you’ve been a member for years :D I have since done a two week trial and officially caught the CrossFit bug everyone raves about and became a full time member! Can’t recommend the beginners course enough!!! You’ll love it!
Fantastic experience: Did a drop in here, lovely friendly box with fun programming, well worth a visit
Fantastic experience: I signed up for the beginners classes, in the 4 weeks I learnt loads and the coaches were brilliant. A great group of people and I look forward to coming to more classes
Fantastic experience: Fantastic! No matter what your fitness level the coaches are so professional and supportive they will adapt and make you feel welcome

Fantastic experience: Signed up to a competition. Had a great day, good vibes and solid programming. I’ll visit again!
Fantastic experience: Class people, great atmosphere and family feel. Highly recommended. Really look after people too.
Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of competing at CrossFit Paratus twice, attended several other events there, and have another competition lined up in September. It's clear that this gym is something special. The atmosphere is electric, the community is welcoming, and the coaches are top-notch. CrossFit Paratus truly embodies what CrossFit is all about—pushing limits, supporting each other, and growing stronger together. Whether you're competing or just training, you can feel the dedication and passion from everyone there. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great community. Coach Smarty has incredible knowledge!
Fantastic experience: I've been lucky enough to drop in at CrossFit Paratus for the past month while visiting the area, and I can't say enough good things about this place. The owners are absolute legends—always up for a chat and a laugh, making you feel right at home from day one. The atmosphere here is incredibly welcoming, and the people? Just awesome. It's a tight-knit community filled with motivated athletes who push each other to be their best. The box may be small, but it's got a big heart—everyone looks out for one another, and that sense of camaraderie is something special. If you're in the neighborhood and looking for a place to work out, I can't recommend CrossFit Paratus enough. Whether you're a seasoned CrossFitter or just starting, you'll feel like part of the family here. Thanks for having me guys!
Fantastic experience: As a newbie to CrossFit, I’ve had such a great experience training with the CP team! Always made to feel welcome and workouts are always scaled to suit all abilities Cannot recommend enough!
Fantastic experience: Since joining paratus in march, I have never felt more at home with a crazy bunch of people! They are the funniest and most supportive group of people both in the gym and outside, especially with university and my exams. Also as a young female I have never been surround by such amazing and strong women to look up to and aspire to be like! One of the greatest things about this gym other then the people is the programming, Dan the coach has insane knowledge and whenever I ask why we are programmed a certain movement he takes the time to explain why and how it will improve our performance or technique! Also the sweets at the lifting classes are great!
Fantastic experience: Really friendly, well equipped box, who host a great competition!!
Fantastic experience: Really great box. Good coaching and programming very friendly and also very flexible with open gym if you're following you're own program. Will be visiting again!
Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Paratus after attending a taster session, then a 2 week trial in January. I've always wanted to try CrossFit but always been too nervous as it seemed really intimidating, but a new friend encouraged me to try it. Dan and Sarah have made it a really lovely welcoming environnent, especially for someone completely new to it. It's judgement free, everyone cheers eachother on and is super friendly and I always leave class feeling great. CrossFit really is for everyone and you will get addicted!
Fantastic experience: Competed in the mixed pairs comp in March 2024. A small, friendly comp with a fantastic atmosphere. Only one category on the day so there was a real camaraderie between teams, which was fab. Would definitely do another comp here.
Fantastic experience: As someone that works away a lot - this gym is super accommodating and flexible with bookings to suit the needs of the individual. An outstanding box that literally has it all. Pros: Great programming Great people Great atmosphere Great communication Very affordable Cons: Questionable music Overall - best box in the SW (and trust me I’ve been on the hunt for one for nearly 3 years now).
Fantastic experience: CrossFit Paratus, has completely changed my perception on what a CrossFit gym can be. Dan is an incredible coach, extremely knowledgeable and so supportive. A super welcoming environment for every ability.
Fantastic experience: Great welcoming and supportive community of members and coaches with a genuine interest in helping you improve.
Fantastic experience: Honestly I can't recommend Crossfit Paratus enough! I joined in November after spending way too long considering it. As someone who works in the industry, my own training had fallen by the wayside but since starting here, it’s completely rediscovered my love for training again. After roughly 6 years of training, the programming and coaching still has me hitting some major PBs, I’m learning new skills and it’s not a chore in the slightest. I also suffered some acute back pain recently but the workouts have been scaled and adapted as much as possible to enable me to continue wherever I can. Everyone here is a bunch of legends, whether they’re coaches, owners or members and the support they all show is second to none. If you’re thinking about trying it, just go for it!
Fantastic experience: Finding Crossfit Paratus changed my way of training for the better. After years of working and training in commercials gyms, the waiting around for equipment and planning my own sessions got tedious. Crossfit Paratus provides great programming, which is tailored to suit any level, classes that feel like small group PT, so you know you are being coached to progress, and most importantly the friendliest, most welcoming envionment. Alongside the coaches, as members we love celebrating each others wins, no matter how big or small. You definately don't need to be fit to get started! Dan, Sarah and the coaches will get you there.
Fantastic experience: As the previous owner I can honestly say that selling to Dan and Sarah was the best thing I could’ve done for the gym, I had fallen out of love with the industry and watching how much Dan and Sarah love the place and the energy they put into it is 2nd to none! How can I forget about them members, they make it, the most welcoming and fun environment, so much so that I’ve returned as a member myself
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with fantastic staff. Great atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with scaled options for all CrossFit abilities!
Fantastic experience: Only been going for about 5 months but really enjoying the workouts at Silver Strength. Well organised and so varied. Dan’s been really kind to us…most of the time. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend CrossFit Paratus! If you’re looking for a friendly and supportive community this is the gym for you. Well structured classes and great coaches too
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, great people, really good facilities! Cannot recommend enough!
Fantastic experience: I am an absolute beginner to CrossFit and was pretty anxious in my first class but not only are the trainers incredible and put you at ease but all the members are so friendly too. Every movement has been scaled to suit my ability and I feel like I’m gaining so much more than I would by just going to the average gym.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Brilliant trainer! So friendly and knowledgeable. Absolute gym beginner and they’ve managed to tailor everything to my ability. Highly recommend. You gain so much more than going to a standard commercial gym.
Fantastic experience: The Gym has a very welcoming and supportive atmosphere. I love training here and have definitely made some great progress since being here. If you have ever contemplated giving crossfit a try or feel like a change of scenery, look no further!
Fantastic experience: so welcoming and great community!! amazing coaching, definitely recommend :))
