The Hive Fitness Bury

Fantastic experience: Joined CrossFit Bury this month and have been to 3 sessions so far. Everything is fantastic: the coaches, the programming, the other members and the vibe. I genuinely feel myself getting fitter and stronger after one week.

Fantastic experience: I loved Dropping in on CrossFit Bury - The Hive. You feel like you’ve known Frenchi your whole life. Cracking energy, unreal set of blue eyes and amazing coach/geezer. Frenchi was really patient whilst I took 3 years to understand the WOD. Don’t worry I was just being slow, this is no comment on the WOD. Educating me the observations he’d made on my movement and the nice touches such as: -Helping me put away my plates. -Grabbing poker chip counters mid WOD when he noticed I was about to run out (didn’t have to ask). -Taking the time to talk to me about CrossFit after the session and at a time where I’m no longer paying him. (I note this because I’ve dropped in on some boxes where the coaches are very of aware the hour mark, understandably so, but it’s refreshing to see someone who just is relaxed and vibes out to CrossFit till the sun goes down). CrossFit Bury The hive is just a box that is CrossFit through and through. Its energy screams warmth and home. It’s decor tells you it’s built on artistic and intelligent foundations. All of which is evidenced by its founder. Good community, good workout, superb overall.

Fantastic experience: If you’re serious about actually getting fit then The Hive - Crossfit Bury is the place to come. It’s pre-programmed fitness classes that are designed like a personal training session but in small groups. There’s no mirrors or look at me attitude from members. Everyone is in it together, supporting each other and enjoying getting fit and healthy. Frenchi is a great coach. He’s approachable, knowledgable and friendly. The classes are varied. Put the work in and you won’t regret it. I’m in my mid 40’s and I’ve not been this fit since I was in the army aged 20. A great place to train.

Fantastic experience: I have been at CFBTH now since 2017 with a break due to covid and living in another country for a year. I have been back since January 22 and at first I felt strange because a lot has changed. I’m glad I stayed and followed Frenchie’s new training program,which consists of Strength and conditioning,Metcon and good old fashioned CF workouts. My physical appearance and my strength have massively improved in a very short time. I train 5/6 days a week. The classes are great because they are small so you don’t get lost at the back of the class. Frenchie is great at coaching the fundamentals of CF he will take his time with you, if you need it. It’s definitely worth coming down and see what it all about. The members will be very welcoming and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Just started CrossFit in the last couple of weeks and what a great place it is training at The Hive. Everyone is really welcoming and help you along the way. I have currently had 5 sessions and can’t wait for my next session. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Super fun classes and very good environment. Made huge progress in the months I have been training there. Definitely would recommend if you are after a challenging workout.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Bury is awesome, our coach is extremely talented and committed to getting the best out of everyone. Our community is welcoming and supportive. 18 months in and I cant imagine life without it. 5 star rating still applies ***** I’ve been coming to the Hive/CFB for almost 5 years. It’s a huge part of my life and has been such a positive influence in so many aspects. I’ve made life long friends there and my husband also attends with me every morning. We have so much fun and find every session rewarding.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant place to train, with a fantastic knowledgeable trainer and always a great bunch of people there to train with

Fantastic experience: A fantastic place. Run by a hard-working and friendly couple who are really committed to providing a top class fitness service. Don't be put off by the name. Crossfit is genuinely for EVERYONE regardless of starting fitness levels. *New post* Still coming!! Approaching 6 years of membership and still not bored!! Seen some amazing transformations in that time. Friendly group of people who are all keen to get fit and have fun.

Fantastic experience: I joined The Hive around 2 years ago now, having previously used 'regular gyms' and wanting something more sociable and motivating. You'll never leave a workout feeling you've not left it all on the floor! It's a really welcoming and positive environment for all levels of fitness, with a supportive, community atmosphere. Genuinely all are welcome and it's an eclectic mix. The classes are generally a max of 8 people, so you get plenty of time for quality coaching from Frenchi who genuinely cares for his customers' health, fitness and general enjoyment. Always positive, he knows his stuff and knows exactly when to push you harder, focus on technique or scale things back a little. The fitness is measurable through the boxmate app where you can track your scores and weights to see your own progress. But also, it's functional and has real world benefits, meaning you will reap the benefits of exercise in everyday life. I have found this through my working life wherein I am required to maintain good physical health and fitness as an emergency service worker, but also in my home life, doing physical DIY work etc. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to the Hive CrossFit for nearly nine months and absolutely love it. The classes and coaching are great. Coach Frenchi is enthusiastic and professional, a terrific motivator who knows when to push you more. The people are all so friendly, and the atmosphere is extremely welcoming. I would recommend this box to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love The Hive! Amazing coaching, people & equipment. A very welcoming gym environment for all body types. Couldn’t recommend enough :)

Fantastic experience: Fantastic little gym with a friendly, welcoming and supportive atmosphere - regardless of age, gender, ability and fitness levels. Frenchi is a superb and patient coach as well as being a top guy! Putting on varied sessions and taking time to explain and demonstrate each exercise. He provides ongoing guidance and encouragement during the workouts to ensure technique is correct and suggests alternative complementary exercises if appropriate. I've been going for 9 months and noticed significant improvements in my fitness levels, techniques and even my ageing physique.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending the hive crossfit for just over 2 years, its brilliant! When lockdown hit and everyones life changed I started working out on the zoom classes replacing my previous normal pure gym routine. Its so much better and even more so since returning to the box itself. Its different every day, challenging but also you do it at a pace that is suitable for you, everyone is welcome no matter how fit or unfit you are which i think is one of the main things i love about it. Zero egos which is unusual in a gym! I always thought I preferred to work out on my own but having done this now i dont ever see myself going back. Give it a try, you will probably love it

Fantastic experience: If you like to play sports, sweat and have a good time, without a doubt, this is your box. Frenchie (coach) and all colleagues have managed to create a family, and they make you feel like one of them from day one. Many hours and different workouts depending on what you are looking for. Try it. You won't regret it!!

Fantastic experience: I joined The Hive in January at the start of this year and has been hands down the best thing I've ever done for my fitness! There's plenty of different classes so the workouts are varied, challenging but always great fun. Everyone at the gym has been friendly and encouraging, and due to there being max 8 people per class, means you get plenty of great 1-on-1 time coaching with Frenchi Would absolutely recommend anyone to come down and get involved!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out since I was a teenager and been at various gym but the Hive is the place I really feel happy and I belong to! The members are all very friendly and Frenchi, the coach, is great :) He has a great knowledge and experience and his WODS are fun and an exciting challenge. I highly recommend The Hive

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place, I have been to many gyms in the past but never 1 like the hive. I love how everyone is welcoming and friendly. Suitable for all abilities. Coach Frenchi is awesome very professional…. Great atmosphere… 10/10

Fantastic experience: The coaching and community at The Hive are incredible. Suitable for everyone, the classes are varied, challenging, fun and so rewarding.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The Hive is such a fantastic gym. Frenchie is an amazing coach who helps and supports you through every session. I've met so many lovely members at the hive that made me feel part of the team since the day I started. I can't rate the gym enough.

Fantastic experience: Great gym set up with a really nice and knowable owner

Fantastic experience: CrossFit bury has helped me to improve my fitness levels and gain strength. It’s small groups mean you get, almost, 1 to 1 coaching. Everyone there is friendly and encouraging. I would highly recommend giving it a go, you won’t regret it

Fantastic experience: This place is unbelievable! It was a gym when I first started .. now it's a hobby ! I look forward to every session I have, coaches are brilliant and the equipment is brilliant .. 100% recommended.. you wont find a better gym .. Guaranteed

Fantastic experience: Superb gym with small classes so you get great training advice and support. Wonderful community of people and super friendly. All abilities catered for and everyone is welcoming and non-judgemental. I have learnt so much about correct technique and improved my fitness levels ten fold. Great coaches! Worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, fantastic coaches and an amazing Crossfit community I joined 3 years ago and I’ve never looked back I’m 49 and I’m the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been. It truly is an inclusive gym and new members are always made to feel really welcome. So if you’re thinking of joining a gym get booked in for a taster session ASAP you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Great sessions, great gym, great coaches, great people. The classes are small so you get the help to correct your technique which gets you the best results from your work out.

Fantastic experience: It's a cool little box can be tricky to find the first time. It's not the biggest of boxes that I've been to but can still get a good workout. Review edit : Having been going there for about 2 months, it's a great box, instructors very knowledgeable and equipment is well maintained. Weather dependent there is an external area that is used for Crossfit sessions. Bus stop 10 minutes down the road or on site parking. Cracking box for a cracking workout

Fantastic experience: I was very nervous during my first few workouts but was welcomed with open arms and made to feel at ease. A great box where the coach and members encourage you to give it your all and be the best you can be (no matter what level you are at in your fitness journey). I can’t imagine training anywhere else now!

Fantastic experience: Good experience

Fantastic experience: Great coaches. Really good atmosphere. Very challenging wods!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Crossfit Bury for nearly 5 weeks now. The owners/trainers are very friendly, welcoming and encouraging which was important to me. I have tried many different discplines/sports but this for me is the best workout out there. Its functional and really fun. Its mixed up all the time so you do not get bored. Fantastic atmosphere. You only have to look at the conditioning of some of the people training in this box to understand the effort and commitment the owners/trainers have put into the place. A great box. Not much else to say!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love going to CrossFit bury great place to go with great coaches and great members highly recommend CrossFit bury to anyone definitely give it a go

Fantastic experience: Amazing facilities at CrossFit Bury. Welcoming atmosphere and an awesome coach. Frenchi is brilliant. He spends time with us and encourages everyone to reach their full potential by making us work hard but at the same time having fun and being part of his CrossFit family. Definitely highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend this gym highly enough. Frenchie and Aimee are great owners- I’ve been going since May 2018 and it’s the only gym I’ve ever stuck at. Frenchie is a great coach who takes time to actually ‘coach’ you and is a top guy to boot. The main thing for me about CrossFit Bury is the community - I’ve made lots of great friends there, which is only possible through the great vibe created by the owners. Join, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Small group training, expert coaching, with a friendly and supportive community. I was sick of going to faceless gyms and paying a fortune for one PT session a week (and not getting anywhere) so I made the decision to commit to CrossFit Bury and I’m SO glad I did. Classes are always kept small so the coaches can focus on everyone’s development and goals. I’ve made more progress here than I ever did with a PT and a gym membership. Can’t recommend this place, and the coaches, enough.

Fantastic experience: My husband persuaded me to give CrossFit for a couple of months... two years later we’re both still members are love it! The coaches at CrossFit Bury are fantastic and really support you to push yourself and your limits. The community at CrossFit Bury is fantastic and we’ve made some great friends there. Would recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: Spent around 15months and the beginning of my cross fit journey here at Bury. Only left due to moving down South but still go back whenever the chance arises. First class Coaching and learnt all the correct form and formed the basis to really progress having never really touched a weight in my life. The community at the gym is inspirational and I would still and have recommended Cross fit Bury to many friends

Fantastic experience: I have been going to CrossFit Bury for around 6months and I absolutely love it. The coaches are amazing and really take the time to look at technique and build your confidence. I had a fundamentals training session with Frenchie when I first joined and it was a great way to introduce the skills and get used to the movements. The coaches are always there to support you, they make the sessions fun and they really push you to do your best. Not only do I feel fitter, stronger and healthier but I have the best time training!

Fantastic experience: Signed up Jan 2019 after training for years on my own and looking for something else to keep me interested in excercise. After some research found cfb was just around the corner and had been on the fence for some time about crossfit so decided to give it a go and have never looked back since. From the first fundamentals 1 on 1 class with Frenchi to make sure that you movement and form is right so don't hurt yourself once reach the classes (mine wasn't either a few bad habits picked up over the years) everyrhing was pointed out and ways to correct the imbalances were put to me. Once attended the first full wod with new school nerves I never looked back I was hooked. Yes it can be frustrating, yes it is hard and yes it's very very sweaty. But that said what in life is worth having if it comes easy. 6 months or so in and I am still learning still developing and still getting stronger and challenging myself in ways never thought would at start of the year. The coach is amazing and everything is done to get the best out of you but safely (he sees everything to so no cheat reps ) there is a real community with everyone that goes there and been made to feel welcome and part of that group from day one could not recommend cfb any more than I do for anyone looking for a new challenge or even just start g out on their journey Into fitness.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to CrossFit Bury for over 2 years now and and I’ve never stuck with a sport for that amount of time before. It just goes to show that the constantly evolving workouts keep you interested in remaining fit and healthy. There are all different levels of fitness at the box and everyone supports one another due to the family type environment the box owners encourage. I’ve learnt so much about fitness and weightlifting techniques, more importantly correct form! Definitely worth giving a go!!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming for nearly 2 years and actually look forward to the sessions - it really is addictive. The community is super friendly and supportive with people of every age and shape.

Fantastic experience: I've gotten fitter, feel better and made new friends. What more could you want?

Fantastic experience: Brilliant business. Well run classes & it’s perfectly balanced in between having a a full time PT and gym membership. The culture and community is second to none.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Bury is a fantastic place to train. As a personal trainer myself, I wanted to be able to go somewhere where I could learn new skills (olympic lifting), not have to think about the programming (I love that someone else has planned the session for me) and be coached and motivated. This great box provides all of this plus an amazing community atmosphere where everyone looks after each other and works together as a team. Sometimes people perceive CrossFit as something which is for people who are already 'fit' or 'strong' or that it's really hard. It's certainly challenging but Frenchie ensures the workout is the right level of challenge for everyone no matter what his/her starting ability. If you're on the fence about giving it a go, just jump in, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit place in manchester

Fantastic experience: ... Great little gym, Frenchy is a legend and very knowledgeable. Got me within an inch of my first ring muscle up in ten minutes of instruction!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for a few months now. Never exercised in my life, well not since school. I had some idea of what to expect because my wife comes here 5 times a week. She loves it and I love it too. It’s a proper nice environment and you are surrounded by friends you make on the way. Thanks Frenchi and Aimee.

Fantastic experience: Excellent workouts and a friendly community of supportive people.

Fantastic experience: I joined Crossfit Bury after my free taster session. The first session was hard but so enjoyable. I have joined a gym and been to classes in the past but have always given up after a few weeks because I felt like I was going it alone. It's the total opposite at Crossfit Bury. Firstly, it is VERY different to anything I have done before but that's what keeps it interesting and enjoyable for me. I laugh to myself when I lifting weights. Secondly, I am not alone. Everyone is at different levels, everyone is learning all the time and you feel part of a team. I am still going aswell - I will not give up and it's so good that I don't feel like giving up. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It's fun and gets you fit. It helps that the owners are great too!

Fantastic experience: Great little box. Super friendly owners. Best of luck with it.
