Fantastic experience: I first took up CrossFit back in 2014 at T1, upon my return to Manchester in Aug 2023, I was overjoyed to get back and find Darren still steering the ship. With the close of T1 I was thinking I’d be lost. Daz however ensured we still had a box, and kept the community together, I can’t recommend the coaching staff, atmosphere and the friendliness of the members enough, truly a wonderful place! No matter who you are or your ability level everyone is made to feel welcome and given valuable time by the coaches.

The community is the first thing that stands out- it’s fantastic for people new to CrossFit, athletes training for competition or people looking to improve their fitness/skills! The coaches are knowledgeable & classes are well structured, fun but CHALLENGING. There’s no other gym/box in Salford or Manchester with the same inclusivity & atmosphere! Would recommend 100%!
