CrossFit Skirmish: Opinions

5/5 (64 Opinions)
Siobhan Melandri 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The team at CrossFit Skirmish are great - I am a beginner, with a few injuries so every workout is scaled so that I can get the best out of it. Unlike some other places, the programming is progressive, so you learn new skills week-on-week. Sasha, Craig and Tobi are great coaches, with specialisms in Olympic lifting, gymnastics and rowing - each one is inspirational and walks the walk. The community is inspirational too - with folks of all ages and capabilities supporting each other - just a lovely bunch who love life.

Fantastic experience: One of the first things I did when I moved to Edinburgh was joining to CrossFit Skirmish. I booked the free class and that day I knew that this would be my box. Good equipment, good installations inside and outside, good WODs... And of course, the community is amazing and Lenka and Sasha (the coaches) are always willing to help! Thanks for all your effort!

Fantastic experience: An amazing box with a rock solid team! Really welcoming and a great sense of community, with a team who have really gone above and beyond during the various stages of lockdown, working tirelessly to navigate the new regulations. Despite the current ban on classes they have managed a great set up to keep everyone working out safely! Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely LOVE this box. Having tried out a few CrossFit gyms in Edinburgh, I can say that this is one is head and shoulders above the rest. The coaches are so knowledgable and encouraging; even in my short time coming to Skirmish I have learned so much from them. The space is excellent, with great quality kit to use. And the people are also great and really friendly. So happy I've found this box! 10/10 and 5 stars!

Hyun Mu Dojang 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been members of this box for almost two years now. We love working out together in such an open, welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The coaches Sasha and Lenka make CrossFit a very interesting experience and are experts at adapting every exercise to each individual's fitness levels, making every workout challenging for both newbies and advanced athletes. Worth a try!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for a while now and would highly recommend anyone to the gym. During Covid the team have worked hard to provide a safe place to workout, its very clean and safe. The new systems seem to work well, one way systems, cleaning station etc. Members and Staff adhere to mask wearing and social distancing rules.

Olivia Hand 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Skirmish is a very professional, welcoming and positive environment. All coaches and members are the greatest people ever and I’ve gained so much confidence and great friends since joining in August. I always feel really comfortable going to the gym even during this COVId lifestyle - the box is always impeccably clean with members AND coaches cleaning after each hour slot. Cleaning products are available within arms reach, social distance measures are maintained and staff members always wear masks. Can’t thank the Skirmish staff enough for working so hard to follow government guidelines to such a high standard to provide a safe environment for members. Great work Sasha, Lenka and Siobhan!

Hannah Marshall 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Joining CrossFit Skirmish was one of the best decisions I've ever made! Not only have I improved my fitness, I have made life long friends with the coaches and members.

Aaron Maguire 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I used to only use the gym as a means to enhance my sports performance and I didn’t really enjoy it. But after finding Skirmish, it’s hard to get me away from it! Been going here for a few years now and through the positive encouragement of coaches and community, my health and well being has improved. Coaches are brilliant and work with you to develop movements to your abilities, whether this be mobility, technique or fitness.

Jamie Scott 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been to five CrossFit boxes over the years and CrossFit Skirmish is by far my favourite. It may not be the biggest or have the widest range of equipment but it has an amazing community combined with the best standard of coaching I've had and Sasha and team are really invested in making everything about the business as good as it can be.

Fantastic experience: After dipping my toe back into playing club hockey and it not quite tickling my pickle I was on a daunting search to find a new community that had similar fitness goals to my own. Whilst searching local gyms I came across CrossFit Skirmish and was immediately impressed with the glowing reviews. I was intrigued to see if this was a place I could grow as an “athlete” (I’m not quite sure I deserve that title.. yet!). Very much new to the world of CrossFit I was a little worried that I would feel overwhelmed however a quick newbie form later and the wonderful Siobhan had set me up with a free taster session on the Wednesday. Well this is where my CrossFit journey began. I have had the pleasure to be taught by Lenka who is a very attentive and caring coach who really took the time to work with each individual in the class. I can’t wait to meet the rest of the team in future classes. I’m absolutely hooked and can’t wait to update my review in a years time! I can’t recommend CrossFit Skirmish enough - if you’re on the fence definitely give it a go.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Skirmish is an amazing community with great, friendly coaching and a wonderful group of athletes (of all levels) to train with. I've only been Crossfitting for a couple of months but it's been a life-changing experience, and I don't say that lightly. Everyone should Crossfit and if they work out somewhere as good as Skirmish, they will be full of the win.

Robert McCready 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Skirmish in March 18 on moving to Edinburgh from the Highlands and CrossFit 57North. With the various boxes around Edinburgh it should have been a hard choice...but my coaches up North and the reputation pointed me to Skirmish and they were absolutely right to do so. My Olympic lifting and gymnastics have come on tenfold due to the specific classes in these area, and if you want an engine that will never break down, then attend the CrossFit session and you are in for a treat. The coaches are always on hand to help, and extremely knowledgeable. Each coach inspires in their own way, either taking part in workouts with you, developing their own knowledge and skills or leading the charge for competitions. If you want a life changing experience, a fantastic community and to be part of a fantastic box then come to Skirmish, I promise you won’t regret it!

arran Conroy 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Since the new classes I find myself falling in love with exercise, each class is different and with the scaled options nothing is every out of reach. Granted some exercises are really challenging! but even lately I have found myself mastering a few double unders. I love the friendly atmosphere, the coaches are all very approachable and quick to offer help when you need it. Really love the mobility class on Saturday and the new booking systems, makes it easy to book and cancel classes on the go. I just wanted to let you know that it’s a great place you have, everyone works hard to make you fell part of something fun. It’s such a buzz to feel my progress lately, I’d just like to say thanks to the team. I have found myself in a much happier place physically and mentally because of crossfit!

Fantastic experience: Awesome box with great coaches and an amazing community, they've all helped me on my journey to joining the Royal Marines and I can't recommend Crossfit Skirmish enough as a place to start. All the training done here definitely got me ready to pass selection and set me up well for a good career. Thanks again.

Fantastic experience: been told crossfit is far to expensive I have a weightlifting coach A gymnastics coach A strength and conditioning coach A mobility coach Advice on nutrition and diet I have made several friends that support and encourage , help each other achieve no matter what your level. At times I've had a near personal training session . All for what has worked out at £3.10 per session . Hats off to all you crossfit coaches out there Throw in changing facilities . Hot showers . A fully kitted out box . An on site cafe and shop for essentials then numerous courses and competitions then you are really hard pressed to find a better box in Edinburgh.

Fantastic experience: Been a member here for 2 weeks now, great place, very friendly and fantastic facilities. All the coaches are very approachable and really supportive, Sasha is always pushing for you to do your best. Really relaxed environment and I've even popped in when not taking part just to hang around the place and soak up the friendly atmosphere where I've noticed that visitors are warmly welcomed. Can't actually think of anything negative to write about the place!

Fantastic experience: Had to get a workout in while on vacation and I'm glad I decided to visit CrossFit Skirmish. The class was early so, no one was terribly chatty, but everyone was friendly and the coach provided helpful tips with both my lifting technique and how to best approach the day's WOD. It was just like being at my home box except better accents! Oh, also I gotta say, Skirmish is a great name for a box and I like the logo. I bought 1 shirt and if possible I'm going to try to get my hands on one of those shirts with a red logo. Skirmish, thanks for the hospitality! Anyone thinking about giving these guys a try, make it happen!

Fantastic experience: Fairly new to crossfit. However love it! I actually look forward to working out!! Very challenging however everything can be scaled back for beginners and progress from there. I love crossfit as you get to try a variety of things between Monday night gymnastics to Tuesday weightlifting, Thursday is cardio and Friday team building. (Days I normally go)skirmish has such a family feeling to it everyone is very welcoming and encouraging. Love it!!!

Fantastic experience: I am so happy I found this box. Not only the coaches are very knowledgable but the atmosphere is very inviting. They welcome all levels and make sure you progress at your own pace. I definitely feel stronger every week, I can lift heavier and do movements that I never could before! I would absolutely recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. Every day is different and never boring. The coaches are excellent. Really knowledgeable and very patient! Everything can be scaled so don't let the thought of pull ups or hand stands put you off trying it. I love the 6:30AM WODs - even on very little sleep (kids!). I just wish I could get here more often! They have created a fantastic community here. Everyone is very friendly both inside and outside the box. We've had a couple of social events recently with more planned in the near future. Keep up the good work.
