CrossFit Jorvik

Fantastic experience: Lovely supportive coaches, welcoming community spirit, and super enjoyable lessons (albeit demanding). I’ve been going for a couple of months and I’ve already seen huge improvements in my strength and physique.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place! A friendly and welcoming environment. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I genuinely feel better physically and mentally for going. Top notch!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in during my visit to York and really enjoyed the community, coaches, and programming. Everyone was so friendly and made us feel like part of the Jorvik family. Thanks especially to Coach Pete and Coach Alex for their positive energy and coaching. We will be back when we return to York in the future!

Fantastic experience: I was visiting friends and family in York and dropped in to Crossfit Jorvik for a session. What an absolutely amazing experience!! The most friendly and inviting people and environment. I hadn't trained in a while so wasn't at my peak, but was still welcomed into a partner WOD with open arms and made to feel part of the family. Peter was a cracking coach and all-round great guy! Really recommend stopping by or joining if you get the chance!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this gym. The coaches are friendly and competent and the workouts are always different and force you to push your limits.

Fantastic experience: I can firmly say that the welcome has been tremendous, by the coaches & by members. I feel included, valued & worthy of my efforts. There are no posers or gym bunnies - this is my time to make my effort in improving my fitness. And that is a clear focus and energy in the training - do your best & do it well, no matter where you are in your fitness & ability levels. Coaches Pete, Alex & Sam are so, so , so helpful, supportive & creative in encouraging & motivating me to do the best I can - not just in the training but in my overall health. I have struggled with anxiety, emotions & confidence in attending the sessions but the coaches have been patient & accepting, so I keep going. I am 52, with 25+ years of non-training behind me - just in case you think you are too old, nah!!

Fantastic experience: I spent two months in York and I used to attend this box during my stay. The Staff is excellent and prepared and I really appreciated that they were so welcoming and kind with me. I felt really comfortable. I definitely recommend it and I would certainly go back!

Fantastic experience: Such a great box - second to none facilities, extremely knowledgeable and supportive coaches and programming for all abilities. I promise, if you have a go you’ll never leave (in the best way!)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to CrossFit Jorvik now for 3 years and it has transformed my fitness in all domains. At 54 I wish I’d discovered it years ago. Great coaching, a fantastic group of members without egos and just a great way to get fit enjoyably.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with first class facilities, coaching and members

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to train and work out! really fun and friendly place.

Fantastic experience: One of the best things I've ever done to improve my fitness and well being is join crossfit jorvik 2.5 years ago. Ive made friends, improved my fitness and become a healthier person. The community are so welcoming, there are social events to get involved in outside of the classes and the coaching is fantastic too. 100% worth every penny of the membership cost.

Fantastic experience: Welcoming, professional, supportive coaches, well-run and varied classes; scalable workouts for all abilities and experiences. Wide range of ages within the membership, with a great community.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and coaches. Game changing in terms of fitness and lifestyle. Community and events are top notch too. Ditch the boring gym and properly challenge yourself

Fantastic experience: There’s no mirrors which means there’s no self preening ego’s on parade - everyone’s there to work….Which is a revelation!!! The only gym I think I’ve managed to get into a routine with. You can be in a group of 14 but still feel like you are getting 1-to-1 coaching. It’s only been a couple of months but love the variety of classes and feels like a really welcoming community. I would thoroughly recommend whatever level fitness you are.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches. Great community. Such an amazing way to get (back) into exercise no matter what stage you’re at.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Jorvik completely changed how I see fitness and exercise. Friendly staff and coaches who have so much experience and knowledge, lead you through the workouts, making sure every level of fitness is correctly adapted for. Community is incredible and so supportive. Plenty of opportunity to make new friends either in the gym or at one of the social events.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic CrossFit gym for beginners, intermediate or elite. Great warm atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable coaches.

Fantastic experience: I'd hardly ever used a gym and was a first-timer at CrossFit when I decided to give CrossFit Jorvik a go. From the very first session I received loads of encouragement from the other members and the coaches. The coaching team take a real interest in your progress, no matter what your ability. The kit is well maintained, and the gym is a really nice space to work out. A friendly and supportive environment where you have everything you need to enjoy getting fitter.

Fantastic experience: I'm a complete CrossFit newbie who has been going to CrossFit Jorvik about 7 weeks now and I can't speak highly enough of the box, the coaches and members. I've considered taking up CrossFit for several years but, like many others I suspect, have always used the excuse of 'I need to be fitter before I do'. Turning 40 was enough to get me over that and I had my induction on my birthday. Yes CrossFit is intense but the coaches do a great job of not just explaining the exercises but making them accessible for all. And yes, there are a lot of impressively fit members but it is more inspirational than intimidating. Am sure that not all CrossFit Boxes are as welcoming so if you are based in York or nearby count yourself lucky.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, great people. The best gym in York!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic well equipped box. Members are extremely welcoming and friendly. Coaches are very experienced and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend. The coaches are brilliant and really focus on technique. The atmosphere is really friendly. Every workout can be adapted so that they’re suitable for any level of fitness.

Fantastic experience: I just can't stress enough how great the coaching, community and atmosphere at CrossFit Jorvik are. Rich and varied class schedule and programming, suited to different routines and all levels of training experience so accessible to everyone. The coaches are extremely prepared, helpful and friendly, always coming up with events and ideas to turn the gym into the happiest place! Made the best friends there. 100% recommended!

Fantastic experience: Top class fitness facility in the heart of York which has made me fall in love with training again. Was made to feel welcome from day one. Every single class is coached by a professional, everyone is on first name terms, and coaches check in with each individual member monthly Would highly recommend for anyone who is wanting to feel a valued part of a small (but also global) fitness community, and would benefit from surrounding themselves with a group of supportive, likeminded individuals who are all collectively working towards - and pushing each other to achieve - their respective goals.

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaching and crossfit style training. I’ve learnt bar work (dynamic pull ups, toes to bar etc), skipping, olympic lifting and I’ve seen big improvements in my physical health. The price is expensive but you get top quality coached sessions each and every time. I’m very happy so far!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic atmosphere, great people which are giving you a big motivation. I can definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Joining CrossFit Jorvik is hands down the best decision I have ever made for my fitness. The structure the programming has provided for my training has led me to actually progress towards my fitness goals (not just stand around in a gym and pick up weights pretending to know what I’m doing!). Not only this but the coaches are very approachable and always willing to give solid professional advice regarding fitness, lifestyle and nutrition. Additionally, the community in CrossFit Jorvik is second to none and makes every session fun, inclusive, and encouraging, making you want to continue progressing with your fitness. If you’re thinking of taking your training to the next level, CrossFit Jorvik is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending classes at CrossFit Jorvik for over 18 months. The gym is a very welcoming and friendly environment, well equipped with a variety of high quality training equipment. Group classes run smoothly and coaches deliver effective training programmes supporting the different fitness levels of the individual members. Coaches are always available to discuss individual goal setting to support you inside and outside of the gym. This is a gym for anyone who wants to lead a healthier and fitter life, whatever stage of your training journey.

Fantastic experience: Having been recommended this gym by a friend - I quickly saw why he loved it so much. The team are so incredibly welcoming and the classes are great and so varied, it is like having personal training without the cost. The other aspect that I love is the social nature, each class is signed up to and everyone there supports and encourages be it as the last to finish the AMRAP or working in a pairs WOD, it really is a fabulous community. In addition, having been when pregnant they were incredibly knowledgeable and careful, modifying the work outs so I could still join in as much as possible and then showing the same care on my return post birth. Could not recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Jorvik is more than a gym it is a community supporting you to reach your fitness goals. The coaches are really knowledgeable and friendly and push you to be the best version of yourself. I would definitely recommend CrossFit Jorvik if you are looking to to add structure to your fitness efforts. I have learned so much and gained confidence in such a short space of time.

Fantastic experience: Joining CrossFit Jorvik was the best decision I’ve ever made. A fantastic Community as well as top notch one to one professional coaching.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality One week inn, been to 3 classes so far, enjoyed them all, coaches are happy to help with correct form, encourage you, but don’t push you too hard. Ultimately it’s up to you how heavy & how hard you work, but the intensity of my work outs has greatly improved compared to going to the gym like I have previously done.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Popped in here for two sessions while visiting York and really loved it. The team were great and friendly, got back to my emails quickly and the classes were really good too. Everyone was friendly and will definitely be back when I am next in York : )

Fantastic experience: Great box with great coaches! Dropped in for a few weeks and was amazed by the attention and precision the coaches dedicate to technique and good form! Amazing quality coaching and really fun WODs!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality I have visited many gyms around the world and this one is the first that has really got me focused and on the path to where I want to be. Great atmosphere and professional coaching combined with space and kit for all. Hats off.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a fair few CrossFit boxes in my time and CFJ is 100% the most welcoming, friendly, clean and progressive box I have been to. The coaches are very knowledgeable, attentive and professional (whilst still providing the banter). The variety of classes CFJ offers fit all of my needs and most importantly have helped me improve my fitness, lifting technique and gymnastics skills.The community element at CFJ is very much apparent and a pleasure to be a part of - there are regular events (e.g. Jorvik cycle club), competitions and other good stuff going on!! 100% recommend that you pay CFJ a visit if you want to get fit, strong, make some pals and have a laugh!!

Fantastic experience: I have trained at CrossFit Jorvik for over 6 years and I love it! My week wouldn’t be the same without a wod with my CrossFit Jorvik family!

Fantastic experience: Fabulous place to train! I visit every time I’m home in York and am always welcomed back for a sweaty WOD. Pete and the team are great!

Fantastic experience: Everyone at this Gym were welcoming and really made me feel at home as soon as I stepped through the doors. Programming is designed for people who want a great experience (not for the 1% elite athletes) which is fantastic for most people. Facilities are clean, open and very well maintained. A great place to train.

Fantastic experience: Great staff who talk you through each step of the session. Thoroughly enjoyed my first week

Fantastic experience: I have trained on and off for 25 years. More off than on. I have tried running, swimming, regular gyms with and without personal trainers, but by far, the most consistent I have been is with CrossFit Jorvik. Pete and the team are amazing and they know what they are doing. I was so out of shape and overweight when I started going, I would be out of breath climbing 3 flights of stairs. Pete’s non-judgmental encouragement kept me coming back, even getting up for the 6am class, and it works! I am stronger, fitter and a little less flabby thanks to those guys. I genuinely feel ten years younger. They deserve a sixth star!

Fantastic experience: I have joined Crossfit 6 months ago and I have never regretted the decision. It's worth the price. The classes are varied, and you can never get bored. There is a good atmosphere at the gym. I have been using a regular gym before (on my own), and I ca say that exercising with others makes it so much better and fun. The best thing about crossfit as such is also the fact that you can adjust the excersises to your ability, so you can enjoy it even if you are not so fit (and you surely will be more fit after a while...) !

Fantastic experience: Most effective way to get all round fitness. Friendly atmosphere and open to everyone.

Fantastic experience: It's a fantastic community with great coaches at the heart of it making sure you're ok and programming epic workouts suited to every ability. Highly recommend the new SWET classes, great for people who want toward on their endurance or have a less formal introduction to Crossfit.

Fantastic experience: Visited CrossFit Jorvik as a drop in CrossFit enthusiast from Cardiff. The venue was great, good equipment and very friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this box to anyone wanting to stop by.

Fantastic experience: Completed the introduction to Crossfit here and was great fun. Pete who runs the place is very knowledgeable and has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Large facility with plenty of equipment in good condition, and a good variety of classes and times. No shower facilities when I was there earlier this year but they’d just moved in so may be ready now. Reasonable cost compared to other fitness facilities in local area with no hard sales and flexible membership options. Would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic place to train, I have been made to feel extremely welcome by the coaches and all the other members. The new box is brilliant and all the daily workouts are so varied you will never be bored. The improvements I have seen in my technique and strength is great, I can fully recommend joining CrossFit Jorvik and cuddles with Beau the dog makes it even better.

Fantastic experience: After several years of attending various gyms (Virgin, Pure Gym, etc.), it became sadly obvious it just wasn't working for me. I saw little progress, I was unmotivated, I didn't really know what I was doing and I was no where near the goals I had set for myself. Workouts became boring as I was doing the same movements over and over again (chest press, bicep curl, shoulder press, etc.) and I just didn't enjoy the experience or the people around me (staff or other members). Then I started Jorvik CrossFit. Within months I was fitter, stronger, my goals had been smashed, I looked forward to working out and had met some great people. The staff are amazing, I learn't more about movements / exercise during the On Ramp (which is like the beginners course) than I have in my life. Since then I've learn't something new each week and continue to progress rather than just hitting a plateau like I was at the gym. The constant variation keeps the classes interesting. If you are looking to get fit with a bunch of friendly people, I would really encourage you to pop along to one of the free taster sessions and see what it's all about. Forget any experiences you've had in other gyms, this place really is different.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to train! Great coaches and a great bunch of members to train with. The new box is a really cool space with everything you need to reach your training goals!

Fantastic experience: Never managed to keep up the standard gym routine as I always got bored. Jorvik Crossfit offers something totally different, highly addictive and nearing my third year as a member I can't recommend enough. Excellent coaching and a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Well worth giving it a go!

Fantastic experience: Pete the owner makes you feel more than welcome when you first start going which is always the intimidating part. He then is always there to help and support if you need the extra attention and don't understand a part of the workout. The workouts are brilliant and you definitely see the results quickly which is always a good feeling. I have gotten much stronger in only a few months of going and some old jeans which haven't fit for awhile have now started to.
