Meet our members - "Big Gav" Coleman

"I'd been watching ‘Youtube’ videos of CrossFit and wanted to try it. I thought the nearest box was in Bedford, but one day I idly Googled 'CrossFit Ampthill' and the box appeared. I did arrange a taster session, but commitments meant I couldn't go - poor Meg had to try it out first! 

My first impression was of a very spartan place. Lots of pull up bars and barbells...and the smell of honesty workouts! There's still the smell, but what's really great is the members. It's a real community.

I'd been trying to get a Rope climb for ages and finally nailed it 4 days ago. Even managed 2 climbs during the workout! I love that sense of achievement. I remember my first real milestone was being able to get down to a full squat snatch. Im still chasing those elusive Double-unders and would also love to be able to kick up to handstand. There’s time."

If you are inspired by Gav's experience, remember every Rope climb or double under starts with that first step through our front door. If you would like to find out more about CrossFit or our personal training packages our team would love to meet you for a 'no sweat introduction' which you can book with us here
