Frequently asked questions
I've never done CrossFit before. Can I still join?
Absolutely, yes! Loads of our members started as total beginners. Every class is coached and every movement can be scaled, so you'll be guided through everything at your own pace from day one.
How far is the gym from Sandgate?
We're based in Folkestone, just a short drive from Sandgate. Plenty of our members travel over from Sandgate for classes and find it a quick, easy trip.
Do I need to be fit before I start?
Not at all! That's what we're here for. The whole point of coached classes is that we meet you where you are and build you up properly, whatever your starting point.
What's the difference between this and a normal gym?
At a standard gym you're on your own. Here, every session is led by a coach, the programming is done for you, and you train alongside a friendly community that genuinely cheers you on.
Do you offer Olympic lifting coaching?
Yes! Alongside our main group classes we coach Olympic lifting and conditioning, so whether you want to learn the snatch or build your engine, we've got a session for you.
