HEAD COACH
CrossFit was introduced to me at a critical time in my life, It changed me into the person I am proud to be today. What makes CrossFit so addictive is that there is always something to get better at! Every day is an opportunity to be a better version of yourself, it’s an endless path to greatness. I want to share this life journey and equip my peers with the skills and foundations necessary to live a healthier life.

Bobby Machin
COACH
CrossFit is a community of people who want to get fit, be healthy but also be in a space where they can be real and belong. I’ve never been healthier, fitter or more energised, thanks to this groundbreaking sport. I started coaching because I naturally like to equip people for the job at hand. I found easy ways along my journey to help people who have never tried it before.

Craig Glover
COACH
I was introduced to Crossfit in 2014 where I watched athletes compete in a local competition such as the UWS, from then on I was hooked! Crossfit has helped me in so many ways, from moving better, faster and stronger to improving my mental health. One thing that stands out the most for me about Crossfit is how it builds communities and brings people together no matter their background
