Not Sure Where to Start at CrossFit Warrington?
By Sian Edwards

You’ve been following us for a while. You’ve been checking out our social media, maybe you’ve spoken to somebody who already trains at the gym, and you’ve even had a look around our website.
There’s loads of useful information available, but you might still be wondering…
“Where do I actually start?”
The good news is, it’s simple.
Option 1: Book a Free Trial
Come down and experience CrossFit Warrington for yourself. Meet the coaches, see the facility, get a feel for the atmosphere, and discover what makes our community so special.
Option 2: Drop Us a DM
If you’d prefer to have a chat first, send us a message and arrange a visit. Come down, meet one of our coaches, ask any questions you have, and we’ll help guide you through the best next steps for you.
Your Next Step: Foundations
Once you’re ready to get started, we’ll take you through our Foundations programme.
This consists of three one-to-one personal training sessions, each lasting around an hour.
During these sessions we’ll:
✅ Look at how you currently move
✅ Identify any restrictions or limitations you may have
✅ Introduce common CrossFit movements
✅ Teach you different terminologies and training methods
✅ Familiarise you with equipment and weights
✅ Put you through some fun workouts
By the end of the three sessions, you should feel confident, comfortable, and ready to join our group classes.
Want a Little More Time?
If you’d like a more gradual introduction, you can join our Couch to CrossFit Course.
This is a six-week beginner-friendly course, running on Sundays only, designed to build your confidence, improve your fitness, and teach you the fundamentals of CrossFit at a comfortable pace before moving into regular classes.
Joining the Main Membership
Once you’ve completed either Foundations or the Couch to CrossFit Course, you’ll be ready to jump straight into one of our memberships and become part of the CrossFit Warrington community.
What to Expect in Your First 4–6 Weeks
Starting something new can feel daunting, but you’re never doing it alone.
We’ll regularly check in with you to make sure you’re settling in, answer any questions, and help you build confidence along the way.
Our coaches will support you every step of the journey. They’ll scale workouts to your ability, celebrate your progress, and help you achieve things you never thought possible.
Most importantly, you’ll meet new people, make new friends, and discover the incredible community that makes CrossFit Warrington so much more than just a gym.
As member Rach puts it:
“I’ve finally found my crowd. I wanted a gym that was designed for people just like me, and that’s exactly what I’ve found at CrossFit Warrington. I feel totally comfortable here.”
Hanne says:
“I honestly just wish I’d started earlier.”
A sentiment shared by Amy:
“Looking back, I wish I’d started earlier. I spent far too long worrying about whether I’d be fit enough, when everyone was so welcoming from day one.”
And Martin agrees:
“I can’t believe I didn’t start any earlier. The support, coaching and community have been incredible.”
These stories are exactly why CrossFit Warrington was created in the first place.
Founder Sian Edwards explains:
“CrossFit Warrington was created to be something special and unique for this community. We wanted to build a place where anyone, regardless of age, experience or fitness level, feels welcomed, supported and capable of achieving more than they thought possible.”
The hardest part is getting started.
So whether you book a free trial or send us a DM, we’d love to help you take that first step.
Your future training partners are waiting to meet you.
