The class

What it actually is

CrossFit gets a reputation for chaos, usually earned in gyms that skip the skill work. We do not. The first twenty minutes of every class is spent on a single skill — a clean, a pull-up progression, a handstand — with the intensity kept low enough that technique holds. Only then does the clock start.

Every movement in the WOD is written on the board with a scaling option and a stimulus note explaining what the workout is meant to feel like. Getting the stimulus right matters far more than getting the prescribed weight, and our coaches will happily talk you down from a number that is going to ruin the session.

Inside the hour

How a session runs

Every CrossFit Box session follows the same shape, so you always know what is coming and can pace yourself accordingly.

  1. 0–12 min — Warm-up. General movement, then a specific ramp into the day's skill and workout movements.
  2. 12–30 min — Skill. One movement, coached in detail with drills and progressions matched to where you are.
  3. 30–50 min — WOD. The workout, scored and scaled, with the coach calling standards and time cues throughout.
  4. 50–60 min — Cool down. Breathing back down, mobility for whatever got hammered, and a note of your score.

What to bring

Flat, firm trainers. Skipping ropes, bands and lifting shoes are all available in the box. Chalk is on the platform.

Who it suits

Is this your class?

People who get bored

No two sessions are the same. If a repetitive programme is what makes you stop turning up, this fixes it.

Ex-team-sport athletes

The competitive edge of a scored workout, without needing twenty-one other people to show up.

Anyone, scaled

Every movement has a regression. Our oldest regular in this class is sixty-four and has been coming for six years.
