CrossFit® Aldgate: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Completely satisfied with the outcome.
Negative experience: Tried to drop in from America. The address took us to a different place and we had a hard time finding it. Walked around in the rain for 15 minutes finally found it 7 minutes late. The instructor was SO rude! Told us we were too late and couldn’t do the class. I have been doing CrossFit for 15 years and have never been treated like that! I have dropped in classes all over the world! One of my favorite things to do when traveling. I love the CrossFit community, and this gym is sorely lacking! I understand we needed to sign paperwork and it might have been a bit of a juggle, but that is what we do for each other!
Negative experience: Incredibly rude coach. If you are traveling and want to drop in, this is NOT the kind and friendly environment you usually experience at a CrossFit box. As a part owner of a CrossFit box myself, I have never seen or heard of a coach being so rude to out of towners. Usually in the community we welcome all members with open arms.
Negative experience: We came to attend the gym and were a few minutes late because we got lost. The instructor was very rude and told us to leave and when we tried to explain we were from out of town he told us he didn’t care. We said usually CrossFit gyms are friendly and he told us: “maybe in America”, not here. He was terribly rude and had no manners.
Fantastic experience: Very nice and cozy BOX, Great program and very professional coach.
Loved having you drop in Miron, glad you enjoyed!
Fantastic experience: Great classes and attention. Real good CrossFit workout for all levels
Thanks for the kind words Javi, love having you in the comminuty!
Fantastic experience: Tolles Workout und super Coach
Thank you for the kind words Peter and glad you enjoyed your session!
Fantastic experience: I don’t care about the space (tiny one) because coaching is great and I always love to come back to CF Aldgate!
Fantastic experience: Great coaching, nice little spot to sweat in the city. Convenient location. If you go in the morning, you’ll go through stairs around back.
Fantastic experience: Great box, in a great location!
Thanks Dean, love having you in our community!
Fantastic experience: Great intimate box with excellent coaches such as Adam and Lucy. I will take their suggestions with me to my box back home. Very efficient - 45 min classes - to start the day. Will definitely come back.
Thanks for the kind words Suk Yang, was great to host you and hope you enjoyed the rest of you stay. See you next time you’re in town!
Fantastic experience: I was a member at Crossfit Aldgate for almost 3 years until I moved away from London. If I was still in London I would happily still be a member. The coaches and facilities are top draw and their schedules allow for amazing choice in workouts. On top of that there is an amazing community amongst the members and staff with lots of fun events to participate in.
Positive experience: Regular box within London's standards limited in space creating some constrains.
Fantastic experience: Good setup!
Positive experience: I'm a regular here. The box is indoor and heated so it doesn't freeze in the winter, as it does in the other London boxes. Coaches are friendly and the programming is good and is friendly to all skill levels. You can work out at the level of your fitness or push yourself hard, whichever one you're looking for. The box is a bit small but makes for small groups around 10, which I prefer over 20+ in other places. A wod class is 45 minutes which makes for some rushed workout. Wish it was more spaced out. But overall the pros beat out the cons.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to workout with great coaches who push you beyond your limits, but not to the point of injury. Really nice atmosphere and great location.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place. Great coaches, small groups and good facilities. Definitely recommend whether you're a beginner or advanced.
Fantastic experience: 麻雀虽小 五脏俱全
Fantastic experience: Do yourself a favour and go. Great people, great coaches.
Fantastic experience: Great coaches and facilities! Just dropped in for a lunch time WOD and will definitely return next time I’m in town. Added bonus: an unadvertised towel service that saved me a trip home before heading back to work. Recommended!
Fantastic experience: A few years ago a friend (not a good one!) told me that crossfit is only for big guys and that I would never manage to do all the things they do. This really put me off and decided to keep going to my normal gym. After a few months, I decided to do a trial session at Crossfit Aldage and I quickly realised that crossfit is for everyone regardless of their body type or ability. I´ve been a member of CFA for the last 3 years and I´ve achieved things and developed skills that I would have never thought of. All this thanks to the group of knowledgeable coaches who constantly push you and care about your progress. Thanks for everything!
Fantastic experience: I had an awesome time dropping in twice at CrossFit Aldgate while in town for work. As a relative newcomer to CrossFit who had yet to drop in to a gym outside my home gym, I was a bit nervous - I had no reason to be. I felt right at home. The sessions were kept small, meaning the awesome coaches (I had Craig and Adam) had focused attention to improving form and performance. Adam gave me improvement points on all the lifts of the day and I’ve definitely left a better athlete with safer and more efficient lifts. I’ll definitely be back next time in town.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, fantastic team
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Crossfit gym - great atmosphere, team and trainers; I've definitely learned what hard exercise feels like ! Highly recommended :)
Fantastic experience: Crossfit Aldgate is an excellent venue for group exercise. The instructors understand the varied goals of everyone involved and work to achieve these. Everyone is friendly and welcoming and create an enjoyable environment to work out in
Fantastic experience: A fitness family! I love training at Crossfit Aldgate, and not only have I had the most consistent improvement in fitness and confidence, i've also made some life long friends. I get to learn from some incredible coaches with a variety of expertise - movement, gymnastics, OLY, mindset etc. The team at Aldgate always put safety and form first, and encourage intelligent training that leads to happy members and GAINZ. Not to mention the fun and laughter that i never thought i'd get with a fitness program! Sad to see a couple of visitors give low scores based on the team here not accepting drop ins... I know its practically unheard of in the Crossfit world. But I have to say, having been around on a number of occasions when a visitor has popped in to enquire about a drop in, the coaches go the extra mile to not only explain that we're a relatively tiny box with a lot of members (putting members first is something every Crossfitter can understand and appreciate of an affiliate), but they also spend time with the visitor understanding what they're looking for while in London, so they can offer advice on the best box to try in the local area, plus often helping with non Crossfit related activity! Anyway, i'd encourage anyone who's not sure about starting Crossfit, or moving to a box in the absolute heart of the city, to try Crossfit Aldgate, you wont regret it!
Negative experience: No dropins No open box for non-members.
Hi Colin, sorry that we couldn't accommodate you today. Although the gym was quiet when you came in our peak time classes are usually full up so we took the tough decision to prioritise our members and no longer take drop ins. We do advertise this on our website and email response. Hope you managed to find somewhere to train.
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, right next to Liverpool Street station so perfect for who works in the area. Small group classes with great coaches that adapt the workouts to your level of fitness. You will definitely get stronger and fitter :)
Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure to meet these guys , good ware house and community .
Fantastic experience: Great box and coaching. Classes are small (c.10 people) so you get lots of attention. Fabulous equipment and facilities (well maintained). Lots of opportunities to socialise with fellow members too (both in and outside the box).
Fantastic experience: Fantastic group of people, trainers and atmosphere. Can't recommend the experience enough.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic coaches and great people! The whole Crossfit Aldgate team has created a fun and encouraging atmosphere. My fitness and crossfit skills have advanced tremendously. Thanks guys.
Positive experience: Great Crossfit community. Coaches are knowledgeable and care about clients. Classes are only 45 minutes, hence the 4 stars.
Fantastic experience: If anyone is looking for quality coaching, a great atmosphere and to be part of an amazing community, do not hesitate to sign up to Crossfit Aldgate. I really enjoyed my time here. I learnt a great deal from the coaches. The owners, Adam and Kamil are great guys and have a range of specialist coaches on hand to teach. The community of people which they have grown and fostered is also incredible. Thanks very much!
Fantastic experience: As someone who's been a member at 3 CF boxes, CF Aldgate has a great gym, in particular they're exceptional at hiring attentive, interested coaches. Good community where people actually know each other - lots of extracurricular events, monthly throwdown comps, an active FB page, fitness holidays, etc. WODs are normally 45 mins so arrive early to get your stretches done.
Fantastic experience: Great coaches, great atmosphere ! Every session has become an amazing achievement.
Fantastic experience: I trained with them for about 3 months. I improved a lot in particular my weight lifting and mobility. The staff is very good, professional and also friendly. The box is well equipped. I recommend training with them 100%.
Fantastic experience: Crossfit Aldgate has fast become like a second home to me over the last 6 months since joining. I honestly feel that the coaches they have there are of an AMAZING standard - I know that there is no way my progress would be as much as it has been without their constant help and support in sessions and out of sessions too. The community is brilliant - everyone looks out for each other, pushes you through those last reps, picks you up if you fall down and constantly encourages you to push yourself to a level you didn't even know you could achieve. I'd highly recommend CFA if you are living in London or just want to drop in.
Fantastic experience: Great box and great community, thanks guys!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic box! Dropped in as I was spending a few days in London and the coaches and athletes were super friendly. Great place to train.
Thank you Melissa, you are always welcome and look forward to see you next time.
Fantastic experience: I am so happy that I joined Crossfit Aldgate while being in London for 3 months - all the coaches are awesome - they all helped me a great deal improving my skills!! I also met a lot of very nice people in the box and got to know new friends. I will definitely come back to Crossfit Aldgate whenever I am in London!! All the best!!
Thanks Michaela, so happy you enjoyed yourself at our box. You are welcome at any time and we are looking forward to catching up with you when you are back in London.
Fantastic experience: Getting involved with crossfit at Crossfit Aldgate is the best decision I’ve made all year. I cannot say enough good things about this box. From day one the coaches have all been extremely supportive, giving me individual attention and support each session and promoting my progression as an athlete. I am extremely grateful for my time at this box and I highly recommend it to anyone who has ever thought about trying crossfit. You will not regret it!
Fantastic experience: Started in March 2015 when I decided to sort out my fitness and beer gut. These guys are awesome - such a friendly club with everyone pushing each other. I started to see results in weeks. Great club (and great socials).
Fantastic experience: Awesome Crossfit gym in the City!
