Do You Need to Be Fit to Start CrossFit in Warrington? (No, and Here's Why)

It's the most common thing we hear at CrossFit Warrington: "I'll join once I'm a bit fitter."

We get it. CrossFit has a reputation for heavy barbells, burpees and people collapsing on the floor. The truth is, most of our members walked through the door feeling exactly the same way.

We scale workouts. We don't change them.

Everyone in the class does the same workout, but your version is built around you. If the workout calls for a 40 kg barbell, you might use 15 kg or a pair of dumbbells. If it says pull-ups, you might do ring rows. If it's 100 reps, you might do 60.

The workout gives everyone the same feeling, whatever your starting point. That's why a 25-year-old rugby player and someone who hasn't trained in 20 years can share the same class and both get a lot out of it.

The three ways we scale

• Lighter loads: we pick a weight that lets you move well, not one that makes you grind.
• Easier variations: every movement has a version you can do today.
• Fewer reps or shorter time: we finish when it's right for you, not when the whiteboard says.

Your coach sorts all of this with you before the clock starts, so you never have to guess.

If you've never set foot in a gym, our Couch to CrossFit course is a six-week, beginner-only group on Sunday mornings at 9am. It's friendly and unhurried, and nobody is expected to know anything. The next course starts on Sunday 3 January.

If you'd rather jump straight into classes, there are sessions from our 05:30 Dawn Patrol right through to the 19:00 Evening Finisher, and every one of them is coached and scaled.

Your first class is free

Pick any class, any level. Booking takes a minute. Bring trainers and a water bottle, and arrive ten minutes early so we can say hello.
