Motion Training - CrossFit Surbiton

Fantastic experience: I've been to approx. 6 CF gyms across the world and these ladies & gents are the best I've ever come across, with a lovely airy clean well kept gym too. They happily accepted me at 5 months pregnant and (again happily) modified every workout for me. They dont push anyone to add weight, and keep careful checks on everyone as they work. And the members are really friendly too, which is not just an added bonus, it really made a difference to motivation. People complain it is expensive, but honestly, you get what you pay for. These are highly trained, experienced instructors with a safe & efficient environment = the quickest way to get fit & strong without injury.

Fantastic experience: Finally a CrossFit box in Surbiton!!!! It's absolutely huge and everything is brand new. All 3 coaches are really knowledgeable and are always happy to help and support. They always explain the technique of the movement before letting you try. They also make sure you learn AND have fun which is a massive bonus! The community is very strong and the Saturday team workout are really good fun. I can't compare to any other box but I had a chat with more seasoned CrossFit athletes and they all said it was the best they'd been to.

Fantastic experience: Incredible box. Best coaches, programming and facilities. Absolutely love training here and being part Motion. 10/10 recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: The best coaches, programming and overall approach. I have been a member for a bit less than a year and the progress I've made so far blows my mind. You can be sure that you will always be greeted with a friendly face and a lot of support from everyone around :)

Fantastic experience: Came here for a drop in! Lots of parking and a very welcoming gym. Great facilities and loads of space for everything, and very well equipped. The coaches were lovely and very friendly, and overall a wonderful place to train! I'll definitely be back for a drop in again as I don't live nearby in the area. Thanks Motion team!

Fantastic experience: Super welcoming community supporting every ability. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever, super friendly and most amazing coaching and community. 100% recommend to anyone wanted to get into the gym or have a safe place to train for all abilities. Definitely check them out

Fantastic experience: I joined Motion at the end of January and was super nervous thinking that I wouldn't be able to do any of the workouts properly because of my lack of general fitness. But I was so wrong! It's a fantastic place if you want to try CrossFit and the coaches are super helpful in every class and really help you to improve. So glad I joined and would recommend to anyone who is interested to give it a go! Great community that the owners and coaches have built which makes it much less nerve racking to turn up!

Fantastic experience: After 9 months of being a member of this gym I can say with absolute certainty that this is the best CrossFit gyms ever. You know how they say that CrossFit is bad unless you find a good gym? Well this one is great. You don’t need any prior training to join. You can be an elite athlete or a 150kg couch potato, it will be just enough. I’ll be moving houses soon, and while looking I wanted to stay local mostly because of the Motion. I’m dead serious. It’s that good.

Fantastic experience: I'm glad I took a chance on Motion Training. My fear was that it'd be an elitist camp practicing moves that I'd not have the fitness or co-ordination to keep up with. Far from it, the staff and other members are incredibly supportive and motivating. People value application and cheer on the member busting their balls/ovaries to complete the set with an empty bar as much as the person with a stacked banana shaped bar. I get as good a workout here as I did in previous gyms with a 1on1 PT, just without the cost and with added camaraderie.

Fantastic experience: We had a drop in on a Sunday and did a nice team wod with nice coaches in an absolutely great setting.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to have found Motion Training. I have belonged to a lot of gyms over the past few years, this is by far the best! Lots of classes on the timetable, programming is very well designed and allows for progress over time. Coaches are friendly and patient, whatever your level of fitness they present lots of options, making the class accessible for everyone! All participants are friendly and non-judgemental.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic converted warehouse CrossFit gym with absolutely incredible coaching and a true family community feel. Welcoming to all levels and ages. Scalable consistent programming with progressive overload and challenging WOD's. Encouraging, compassionate coaches (who are also, true athletes - 4th fittest team in the world at the CrossFit games!) who are completely dedicated to this gym and the community they have built.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Best gym/fitness club I’ve ever been part of. All of coaches are highly qualified and experienced professionals. They community spirit /family atmosphere is like no other.

Fantastic experience: Motion is fantastic! From the equipment to the one on one quality coaching (they really know their stuff) I cannot recommend this place enough. Having never done CrossFit before I didn't know what to expect, but everyone is so friendly and welcoming, they explain each movement clearly and every workout has options for all levels. They offer free trials so there is no reason not to go and try it out, so thankful to have found this place!!

Fantastic experience: Motion is the best gym I have been a member of. I actually look forward to going to the gym as I am constantly learning new things and being motivated by the coaches. The communication and care shown during Covid has been incredible and has helped keep me motivated whilst at home. All of the workouts can be adjusted to your level and the coaches will take you through everything you need to know and spend time to ensure you are always improving and getting the technique right. I was definitely nervous when I first started at Motion as I hadn't done Crossfit before and so lots of the movements were new to me, but I would recommend you try it if you haven't before as everyone is very welcoming and it really doesn't matter your level of fitness. I am very much looking forward to getting back in the gym as soon as we can.

Fantastic experience: I joined Motion within about 2 hours of my trial class! Brilliant facility with even better coaching staff that truly care about your progression and wellbeing. They have always had at least 2 coaches in all classes which means they have ability to do just that... coach! Since joining Motion my general fitness and technical movements have improved consistently and I feel great for it.

Fantastic experience: It's hard to keep this short! This is the best CrossFit box I've ever been to and the best exercise / sport experience I've ever had. You learn all these things that you might think you're too old for or you're not fit enough to do but then you give it a go and you learn very quickly that your preconceptions were just wrong. Everything can be scaled and you'll be amazed at what you can do when you want to/ push yourself, what you learn and how quickly too! The space is amazing! The community, owners, and coaches create an incredibly friendly, fun, and supportive atmosphere. You learn weightlifting and gymnastics skills in such a safe environment and I am serious with what I said above: you'll be amazed at how quickly you pick them up and improve. The coaches look at everyone during every class and give you great feedback and cues to help you improve! Every movement and every workout can be scaled to your ability but if they know you can give a bit more then they'll let you know and that gives you confidence to try e.g. adding a bit more weight to the bar than you were going to or try a handstand push-up when you never thought you could do one. I cannot praise this place enough. I love everything about it. It's fun to go. It's fun to push yourself in the classes. You'll meet fantastic people and make new friends. It's the best! If you're on the fence about trying it out or about Crossfit generally: don't be! Give it a go! You'll be amazed how addictive and fun it is! See you in class soon

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The classes are varied and challenging, the instructors are passionate and knowledgeable and the kit is very high quality. There is a really supportive atmosphere where you are pushed to be your best self as part of a friendly and non-judgemental community. I really can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality After having joined a month ago, I cannot fault this place...there is every piece of equipment you could think of. The coaches really know their stuff and they are all good eggs!!

Fantastic experience: An awesome space with excellent coaches! They've also built an incredible community at the gym! I can't recommend enough

Fantastic experience: I joined Motion at the end of lockdown in July 2020 and have been really impressed with the care they have taken to keep everyone safe at the gym or at home while providing a really high standard of programming and coaching. I feel fully part of the community despite never having been within 2m of anyone! Also they have great taste in t-shirts!

Fantastic experience: Hands down one of the best Crossfit and gym facilities in London. I've been training here for nearly 4 months now and I'm already seeing vast improvements in overall fitness and performance. The coaching in the classes here is incredible. There is a strong focus on technique, a healthy dose of encouragement and a beautiful attention to individual needs to ensure members are keeping safe and not causing injuries! I love that! Grace, Dudley, Harrison, Chris, Caitlin, Tom and Emma bring their own unique personalities to this place and they believe in the power of teamwork in supporting performance! You will find it hard not to fall in love with them. During Lock down they have made every effort to make existing and new members welcome. In short noting has been too much bother and they have kept us safe and motivated through out! The space they have created is inspiring, and the members are lovely! Come and have a play!

Fantastic experience: I came to the UK this time around to bury a family member and execute their will. Between the heart wrenching state of affairs and the glum days England has to offer this time of year, I was enveloped in a dismal state of mind. I spent my first two weeks in lock down struggling with my fitness routine and finding some sense of solace. However, my last two weeks were RIGHTEOUS! Thanks to Dudley, Grace, Harrison, Chris, Caitlin, and the rest of the team I was able to muscle through the madness. The exceptional facility and uncompromising customer service speaks volumes of their character. At first, I was a bit reluctant to part with £125 for a little under two weeks of gym usage but I decided to join their CrossFit classes instead. Now, my aching body can proudly say I got every pennies worth and then some. As an athlete and avid fitness enthusiast that has trained in facilities the world over, MOTION Training is nothing short of a 5 Star experience. THANKS A MILLION YALL! Hope to see you the next time around under better circumstances. I wish you nothing but the BEST in all your future endeavors Cheers!

Fantastic experience: Hey guys thanks for being great guest and your advice for the team prep!! We wish you the best for your prep for your games too .. great gym and facilities

Fantastic experience: Motion is fantastic! From the equipment to the one on one quality coaching (they really know their stuff) I cannot recommend this place enough. Having never done CrossFit before I didn't know what to expect, but everyone is so friendly and welcoming, they explain each movement clearly and every workout has options for all levels. They offer free trials so there is no reason not to go and try it out, so thankful to have found this place!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Me and my partner completed a free trial session at Motion training. On first impressions this is a welcoming and friendly place. The session didn't disappoint either, as the staff are motivational, helpful and encouraging. Tip, If you're a newbie to fitness, perhaps steer clear of 'The Echo' bike.

Fantastic experience: Whether you’re new to CrossFit or you’re a more advanced athlete, the Motion coaches have all of the knowledge and credentials to keep you moving in the direction you want to go. It’s an extremely welcoming environment; everyone that walks through the door is treated the same with no special attention paid to particular individuals or cliques. All ability levels are catered for with no unrealistic expectations of the members. If there is a movement that is not yet accessible to you then a regression will be recommended by the coaches with zero negative judgement from the more advanced members. I couldn’t recommend Motion highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Professional, friendly and knowledgeable Staff making me feel very welcome and comfortable. The facilities are great with loads of space and access to lots of equipment. There is plenty of parking if you need to travel but also close to the local train station. Having worked in many locations around the country and used different CrossFit Gyms I couldn’t recommend this Gym highly enough and is one of the best set ups I have been to.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Great gym with a nice focus on inclusivity and community. Classes are great and you can start progressing regardless of your current fitness level. Also, these guys were total stars during lockdown.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. Really strong group of coaches and a great team spirit. Their kit is amazing; everything you could ever need and a whole lot more. Well worth a trip and blows the local competition right out of the water.

Fantastic experience: This bunch of coaches are truly remarkable. They are engaging, professional, and fun, but make no mistakes, they are TOUGH!!! The box is cozy and well equipped with a nice relaxing area. WODs are very varied and always with personal twists.

Fantastic experience: I did a taster with these guys in 2018 largely because it was convenient but also because I had heard good things about their coaching. I soon signed up to an unlimited membership and thought that I might do 6 months to learn more about the Crossfit training programs for my work as a physiotherapist. More than a year later I'm still getting great value from my membership, learning lots and enjoying each session. The training is fun and focused (much like the team that delivers it) and the members that you train alongside make those challenging sessions a lot more enjoyable than they would be on your own. Highly recommend giving it a try.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place if you're into Crossfit (or even if you're not and want to find out what it's all about!). Top quality coaches and facilities, with a great 'family' surrounding it! Grace, Harrison, Dudley, and all the coaches really know their stuff, but just as importantly have a genuine goal to make you the best version of you possible, whatever level you're at.

Fantastic experience: Honestly the best box you could go to! I was a complete newbie to CrossFit and felt comfortable and professionally coached from the very first moment. The programming is amazing and the coaches are SO helpful! The community is so lovely and always open for new people! The box has loads of equipment that is available all the time, especially because Motion has great opening times! I have achieved a lot, mentally and physically, since joining Motion Training and am so grateful for everyone and everything! Miss and love you all loads!

Fantastic experience: More than just a gym. This place is such a welcoming and fun environment. Whatever fitness level you are at Grace, Harrison, Dudley, Chris or Caitlin will look after you. The space is huge and all equipment is kept clean and serviced. Sessions are well thought out and incorporate skill and intensity with a focus on form. Members quickly become friends and it's a hub of activity.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality An amazing set of trainers and a great atmosphere to train in. Everyone is so positive and encouraging. The range of classes is superb. And the leadership in how they have dealt with covid puts a lot of businesses to shame. Could not recommend more!

Fantastic experience: Motion is a fantastic box! I needed a new CrossFit home when I moved from Reading. A daunting task as I loved it there. There was no need to be so fearful. The guys at Motion have been so friendly and so welcoming. I was made to feel at home right from the start. The programming is amazing and the coaching is even better. The community spirit I came to love in my old box is very much on display here also. Such a warm inviting a friendly environment to workout in. CrossFit is for everyone and this is such a good place to experience it. Please come and give it a try.

Fantastic experience: I am older than most members but have found Grace, Harrison and Dudley to be sympathetic and attentive to my requirements. They are engaging and professional fitness coaches. I doubt you'll find a better gym in the area. Long may it continue. Roger Bates

Fantastic experience: What the Surbiton and Kingston area has sorely needed! Such a great space whose potential has been maximised through excellent coaching and fantastic equipment. Their session planning means that you cannot wait to get back in for the next session. With their focus on creating an inclusive and friendly environment its also a great way to meet people in the local area. Would highly recommend to everyone, if you are not sure just give it a go!

Fantastic experience: Great new cross fit and motion fitness gym just opened in Surbiton. The coaches are friendly and classes are well thought out. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this new CrossFit gym in Surbiton. The facilities are amazing (no smelly, mouldy things) with comfortable changing rooms and showers; the trainers are superb! I have started with the guys in mid-October and could not be happier with the progress I have made even though I only attend twice a week. I actually look forward to coming to train here, despite the burpees!

Fantastic experience: Grace, Harrison and Dudley are all incredible coaches and athletes. They’re so knowledgeable and passionate about they do it’s genuinely inspiring. The gym is huge and awesome, the programming is brilliant and they’ve created a really fun community. Join this gym!

Fantastic experience: The classes have a great energy that really helps with motivation. All the coaches are amazingly knowledgeable and always give you some one-to-one feedback on your form every class which I find so vital to keep improving, plus they’re just super nice people!

Fantastic experience: The best coaching, the best equipment, the best community! The coaches do a great job of catering for all abilities and enthusiastically manage to get the best out of every member. The owners continue to expand their equipment collection with the highest spec top of the range equipment available in the crossfit world...also the gym is huge!

Fantastic experience: Fell in love with CrossFit and the great coaches at Motion since starting almost 4 months ago! Whether your new like I was or experienced in CrossFit, the coaches - Grace, Harrison and Dudley - have developed such a great community at the box, unlike any gym I’ve ever been to!

Fantastic experience: I had been looking to get back into the gym but was lacking the motivation and confidence. Grace, Harrison, Dudley and Chris have been amazing, i feel fitter and stronger than i have ever done and i am now going five times a week. I cannot recommend this gym enough, the space is excellent, they have all of the equipment you will ever need and even when the classes get busy the coaches still find time to make sure that your technique is perfect and that you get the most from your sessions. The other great thing is the community aspect of crossfit, all of the members are friendly and we all push each other to be better.

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely place with lovely coaches !!! Definitely the gym with no contracts just high 5 ! All of you need to try it and you will love it ,don’t think that you can’t achieve your goals, they are any time next to remind you that it doesn’t matter if you fail once get up and try it again and at the end you gonna make it! Xoxo

Fantastic experience: First time trying CrossFit and was given a fantastic intro to the sport from the Motion Training crew. The team are super helpful, friendly and motivating and made me feel at ease straight away...even though I was a total novice. Definitely going back and would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym for both crossfit and general fitness. For people of all types of fitness backgrounds. A wonderful community too. If you are in the local area I 100% recommend popping in for a FREE trial!!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Varied sessions, great coaching and suitable for all abilities. On top of this, the community is amazing which keeps you motivated for the gym. Would 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: I simply love it! It is such a great space with excellent coaches and fantastic equipment. The session planning focuses on progressive cycles to ensure constant improvement. They also have gymnastics and conditioning classes to help focus on developing specific skills. Most importantly, Grace, Harrison, Dudley, Chris and Caitlin are creating an inclusive and friendly environment, really supportive. It is a great way to meet people in the local area and have fun while working out! Thanks, guys.
