CrossFit Saddleworth

Fantastic experience: Great setting inside an old mill, exposed brickwork is the backdrop to state of the art equipment and expert advice. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: I started at Lock 32 two years ago and it’s completely changed my outlook on training. You don’t have to spend hours in the gym to get the results you want. In one crossfit session you will work harder than you would in a weeks worth of gym sessions. It’s awesome. You will do things you think you never could, this is down to the amazing coaches that guide you through each step. Plus you are training in the beautiful countryside - what’s not to love!

Fantastic experience: I started attending Crossfit Saddleworth 7 months ago after having my baby. I wanted to try something different to the usual cardio based exercise and am so glad that I did. The gym is an excellent place to train. The coaching staff are very knowledgable and encouraging, and the sessions are so varied that it never gets repetitive or boring. I have gotten so much stronger and have achieved my main goal of shedding the baby weight. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Great family gym.good for all levels of fitness from beginner to expert

Fantastic experience: Friendly coaches, great workouts for all abilities, community feel, highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of CrossFit Saddleworth for just under a year now and I can definitely say it’s been the best gym experience I have had - I even travel 30 minutes to get there! I am someone who always felt uncomfortable at the gym because I wasn’t particularly strong or physically fit, I dont feel that way at CrossFit Saddleworth - the coaches are knowledgable and professional, they will work with you through the movements and scale it down to what you can manage! You will be surprised at how much you can push your body and pick up weights you would never do in a commercial gym. My fellow members are also really friendly and there is a real team ethic at the gym - everyone helps each other and pushes one another! All I can say is don’t be scared (which I’ll admit I was) and give it a go!!!

Fantastic experience: Great place to train with a place full of lovely members and coaches classes. I travel 40+ mins to come here when there’s much closer places

Fantastic experience: Keep meaning to write a review of the brilliant Crossfit Diggle (Lock 32) and tonight's session has made it easy to rate this facility a fantastic five stars! As an aging slow and steady runner I felt I needed to improve my upper body strength but found gyms boring and easy to avoid as I really need a focus and someone to offer instruction and guidence with my technique. Crossfit offers all of that and more. I have done so many things completely out of my comfort zone but all in a really good way. Dan together with Lauren and Emma provide amazing support and encouragement. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and I would highly recommend Crossfit as a way of improving all levels of fitness within the amazing Lock 32 facility.

Fantastic experience: I started going to crossfit almost a year ago after a long break from exercise. It's totally different to any other type of exercise I'd done before. It beats any typical exercise class hands down. Despite it being fairly weights based it's not a remotely intimidating gym. There's a really friendly atmosphere and great supportive coaching. I thoroughly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I started at Crossfit Saddleworth in September 2017, having flatlined on progress (and became increasingly bored!) at a normal commercial gym. I'd considered starting it for months before, but never thought I would be fit enough (having seen way too many clips of the Fittest on Earth documentary!). I eventually bit the bullet and tried the first session. I found the gym, members and coaches very welcoming and friendly. I quickly realised that it did not matter if you were super fit, or a complete novice, every workout was able to be scaled. That said, it certainly didn't mean it was easy - but there was definitely rapid progress and you'd never feel like you hadn't had a good workout by the end. I now try and attend 4-5 times per week, have seen a huge improvement in my fitness levels and stamina, alongside actually wanting to go and work out! If you're thinking of giving it a go, you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Saddleworth is a fantastic place to work out and push your body to the limits. Great facilities, great coaches and more importantly great team mates who help you through the pain barrier!! I have only been coming here for 9 months but wish i had started a long time ago because Crossfit is like no other form of exercise i have done before.....its brutal, but great fun!!! The detailed work outs and coaching cater for all levels and abilities and it is very much an inclusive gym. #teammates

Fantastic experience: Started crossfit a year ago after getting bored of running all the time, couldn't of made a better decision. It's a great workout and constantly varied. You learn about how to lift weights properly and also there is a good mix of cardio in there too. Great atmosphere and everyone is very welcoming. Coaching is brilliant too! Defo the place to join

Fantastic experience: Great way to work out and get in shape, would highly recommend to anyone looking to try out Crossfit or those wanting to take their training to the next level!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend trying out Crossfit Saddleworth. So much more than just a gym. A fantastic community, terrific coaches and suitable for all abilities and levels of fitness. Once you have trained there, you will immediately feel part of team.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym, it is so refreshing to find a gym where the coaches care and aren’t just there because they are paid to be. The other members are friendly and everyone cheers each other on. All the workouts are varied and all movement can be broken down to any level of fitness or strength.

Fantastic experience: Great venue with easy access and plenty of parking, great and varied workouts with detailed instruction on how to get the best out of yourself and the sessions. A great team atmosphere with all members willing you to succeed, if you’re thinking about it don’t just do it you will be hooked and love it.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic venue for Crossfit. Large unit with plenty of equipment to satisfy everyones needs. Whether that be a session of Crossfit or open gym. Great group of people and coaches that attend. The Crossfit sessions are always hard, but these can be adjusted to suit everyones abilities. I have been there from the start and if I could attend everyday I would. Would highly recommend to friends and family.

Fantastic experience: I was pretty bored of a normal gym routine and had reached a point where I wasn’t seeing any results, I enjoyed the normal gym, but wanted something a little “more". I had heard about Cross fit so gave it a whirl. It is awesome. It doesn't matter what level you are at as you can scale the workouts to suit your ability. The great thing about Crossfit is that you do really push yourself to achieve something. This can be to just to get the results that you like and feel fitter…. Or to the point that you go cross eyed and nearly fall over. Either is fine. I was a bit apprehensive about the Cross fit reputation of high fives etc, but this is not done in a douchey way, it is just simply team mates, who have since starting become actual mates, celebrating, after sharing a common goal, working together to get to it… or sometimes to get through it and reach the end of a workout. The whole set up at Crossfit Saddleworth is great, it’s a friendly set up, focused on training but with a great mix of enjoyment, socialising and sometimes the occasional outdoor workout in beautiful setting of Saddleworth. No matter how unsure about exercise you feel, Dan and the team will make you feel at ease you will learn sooooo many things from a simple warm up stretch, gymnastics movements, through to throwing weights around, in ways that you wouldn’t have thought you could ever do. There’s not many things in life that make you feel better, feel healthier and also make you look better….. But I reckon Crossfit Saddleworth is certainly one. Jump in, go for it. Every bit of you will hurt at some point, but you’ll bloody love it.

Fantastic experience: A great space with all of the equipment you’d expect from a top quality CrossFit box. A great community spirit between members and an all-round nice place to be.

Fantastic experience: Danny runs a great Box . I’ve been to others on my travels and none quiet have the “ team “ atmosphere it has here in saddleworth . Cracking classes that has a great range of abilities in each one I’ve been too .

Fantastic experience: Having already posted a review I though I should update it, I’m a 56 year old man with the only ambition of keeping old mans legs and the aging process at bay. After a year of attending classs 2/3 times a week I had been making small steps in progress pleasing me no end, but over the past few weeks I have made a quantum leap in strength, fitness and technique and the high at the end of each sessions is an unbelievable sense of achievement. Shocking a man of my age Is now starting to compete with people in general half my age, so if you think your best days are behind you let me assure you they are not it’s just the beginning of a new journey, come and join us you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Excellent people! Great atmosphere! Supportive and awesome! Needs to expand to spread the love further!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Crossfit Saddleworth for 9 months now. I was a bit apprehensive about joining at first as my fitness level was no where near the levels I saw on videos I had watched online. That didn’t matter, Dan modified exercises to enable me to grow in strength and fitness. The facilities are fantastic and surround by beautiful outdoor scenery. Perfect for the WOD when the weather warms up. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and there to help with anything. There is a real team/family feel regardless to your fitness level, we all push through together. I couldn’t recommend Crossfit Saddleworth enough.

Fantastic experience: Started CrossFit for the first time about 14 months ago and really didn’t know what to expect. From the off the coaches and teammates welcome you into the group regardless of ability. I can’t emphasise enough that PERCEIVED ABILITY DOES NOT HOLD YOU BACK! All workouts can be scaled to your ability with the aim of helping you progress. I feel my strength, conditioning and fitness has come on massively following this path and whereas at the gym I’d walk out without having really ‘worked’. At Lock32, not once have I walked away without feeling like I’ve put some graft in and that is addictive! Great box, great facilities and highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I started coming to CrossFit Saddleworth 9 months ago and went to the daytime lite classes where I can take my toddler if I need to. I had many injuries and used to enjoy running until the pain stopped me. I now am virtually injury free and running isn't painful anymore and I feel stronger and fitter than ever. The classes are always different so it's impossible to get bored plus due to the variety of the exercises in each class, there is little repetitive strain injury on the body which I think has helped fix the injuries and make everything stronger. You really feel like you've worked hard afterwards and who doesn't like that?

Fantastic experience: I had been thinking about Crossfit for a while before I actually walked into Saddleworth Crossfit for the first time. For me the Crossfit Lite sessions were the perfect way to get used the workouts and the fact that I could take my little boy and exercise with a fabulous bunch of people was an added bonus. Now I am a fully fledged member and have really seen a massive change in my fitness and strength. The atmosphere at Crossfit Saddleworth is great everyone is so encouraging and supportive. I also love that through the coaching I am learning new skills every session which makes it so much more interesting than a regular gym.

Fantastic experience: I joined Lock32 about 18months ago and have learnt a lot in my time. My technique and form has improved ten fold and I’ve never had the same work out twice. You won’t get a better setting for a gym either. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this gym the instructors are extremely knowledgeable, highly motivated, and awesome people to be around, being a member of a team and like hav8ng a personal trainer, I'v never known a gym with a better vibe not only the instructors but the members are all friendly and approachable everyone makes you feel welcome

Fantastic experience: A great gym nestled in the lovely saddleworth countryside. The coaches are friendly and supportive as are all the members. As a runner, the great thing about Crossfit is that you combine cardio with strength training and mobility. Couldnt ask for a better maintained gym with a great team mentality. WODs are easily scaled to my ability and classes work around my work and family schedule. Love it - get involved!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loving training at Crossfit Saddleworth. Great community spirit, excellent equipment and top quality coaching that is focused on making sure everyone, whatever experience or current fitness level, gets the maximum out of every session. I love the fact I didn't need to be super fit to jump in to the workouts, but with the focus of the coaching and everyone at the club being so supportive, I feel like I'm making progress already after just a couple of weeks. Best of all, there are NO egos, you just get stuck in and have a laugh. I'd recommend Crossfit Saddleworth to anyone interested in improving their fitness and general well being.

Fantastic experience: I started training at the CrossFit Lite sessions when my baby was 6 weeks old. These daytime pay-as-you-go sessions are perfect for parents as you can take the kids with you. My baby was happy to watch me train and hang with the other babies. Now I’ve returned to work after mat leave so I’ve joined the gym as a member and started to attend the full classes. I never ever thought I’d train at a gym but this place is addictive! Really friendly with varied workouts that allow you to learn new skills and get strong. Give it a go!

Fantastic experience: I joined the gym about 18 months ago going twice a week. This very soon went to 3 then 4 times per week! The gym is a very friendly, supportive and productive place to train, the coaches are all really encouraging regardless of ability. 'Cross Fit' generally is very different to other gyms and classes; don't be scared of it and give it a go! CrossFit Saddleworth is full of great people and i've made some really lovely new friends too!

Fantastic experience: Being new to CrossFit when I first visited the box I wasn’t really sure what to expect. But at Lock32 I was delighted to find a brand new facility, full range of equipment and expert coaching tailored to any experience or ability level. With his background in personal training and education in sport science, Danny is able to not only get the most of people with his effective coaching techniques, but also offer guidance and advice on all areas of health and fitness, such as diet and nutrition. There are a great set of members at Crossfit Saddleworth, team training and regular social events that create a real community feel. Great work Danny and team.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at CrossFit Saddleworth for 18 months now and in my opinion there is no better place to train and push yourself to reach your goals. A safe, friendly atmosphere welcoming all ages and abilities with expert coaching to ensure maximum output is achieved in every session. Want a new challenge with great team mates? This is the place for you

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym with friendly members and coaches. Well equipped and maintained gym. Challenging workouts to suit all levels of ability. Knowledgeable, supportive and motivating coaches. Great team and sense of community.
