Grand Union CrossFit: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Great Box- Jenna and Rob are amazing, the workouts are tough and there's a great community feel to it. Wouldn't want to go anywhere else!

Kate Eaves 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Joining a couple of years ago was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I was always intimidated in conventional gyms and to be honest had absolutely no clue what I was doing! However with GU, it feels like a personal training session every time with small classes, one-to-one feedback and constantly varied cycles that have helped make me fitter and stronger than ever. Not to mention it has a great community aspect with friendly members and regular social events.

Fantastic experience: I never stuck to any sport in my life… until GU CrossFit…. Best coaches, who are kind, fun, push you. They created the most wonderful CrossFit community in Berkhamsted, exercising is fun and I have seen amazing results in my fitness.

Jenna Nicholls 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym when it first opened in July 2019 and haven’t looked back. I joined as a complete newbie to CrossFit, but Rob and Jenna coached me through all the movements with real encouragement and support. I’ve made some fab friends from the gym too! And to be clear, this is Jenna Nicholls (sister in law of Jenna who runs the gym. I married her brother and now have the same name. Yes, it’s weird ha!)

Fantastic experience: GU Bingo was a great idea for something a bit different during lockdown. A good range of exercises and challenges to suit and test all abilities. Coaches were fantastic

Alex Brown 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Even after a tough year Rob and Jen have done an amazing job keeping me active and engaged. I’ve always struggled with consistency when exercising and wanted to try something class-based; GUC do an amazing job of teaching the fundamentals to members unfamiliar with CrossFit in a friendly, fun and encouraging atmosphere. It gets tough at times but you’ll certainly see the results!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Great gym: expert, helpful coaches, friendly atmosphere, welcoming community. I’m grateful to Grand Union for introducing me to Crossfit in such a supportive and challenging way.

Charlotte Noad 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of GU from when it initially opened, and can honestly say that joining here was one of the best decisions I've ever made! I was always quite nervous in gyms, with not much self confidence or belief in what I could do; but GU has changed all of that, and I am now physically and mentally the strongest version of me! Not only that, Rob and Jenna have created such a welcoming community that shows support and encouragement for everyone, and from this I have made lots of friends along the way. The last year has been hard on everyone with the pandemic, but these guys have shown so much support for members and non members alike, with challenges to keep us busy over lockdown, as well as promoting support for local businesses in the area. So much love for GU and for everything it's about! <3 X

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality GU has a welcoming atmosphere and run with absolute passion by Rob and Jenna. Their programming and coaching is awesome but most importantly they’ve nurtured an excellent community!

Helen Buckingham 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Grand Union is a very warm and welcoming box with an encouraging and cohesive atmosphere. The coaches are highly knowledgeable, personable and really get the best out of you in every class. The spirit that has been built in such a short time is testament to Rob & Jenna and their warm and welcoming ways. Don’t get me wrong though, they will push you to hit that next PB! Rob and Jenna have gone above and beyond to encourage members to keep active during each lockdown of 2020; from lending equipment, to hosting free zoom classes and setting monthly personal challenges and team competitions! The members at GU will rally around each other and make anyone feel like part of the team, regardless of age, ability or experience. I feel that GU perfectly embodies what crossfit is all about; functional fitness for all.

Fantastic experience: Rob and Jenna have created a real community at GU Crossfit. It's a great place to train, learn and meet new people. Thanks guys!

Nigel Norman 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Jenna and Rob have gone out of their way to keep everyone's motivation and fitness levels up during lockdown. Taking part in their GU Bingo event throughout February has gotten me to do more exercise than most previous lockdowns and also provided a great sense of community and connectivity to people we are unable to see in person at the moment. The friendly competition has made this month great fun and given me the drive to get up and feel a sense of accomplishment in completing workouts or trying an exercise that's completely new to me. While I don't currently live in the area, I'm looking forward to attending a Grand Union classes when it's possible to visit friends and family in the area again.

Lars Johnson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was lucky to be a part of the Grand Union lock down 3.0 Bingo workouts. It was great motivation to kick start my new fitness goals for 2021 with varied exercises and great coaching via zoom. Bingo was a brilliant way to keep active and a brilliant distraction during this tough time.

Richard Tite 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I took part in the Grand Union Bingo challenge during lockdown 3.0. Jenna & Rob generously put together this epic (but brutal!) challenge to keep their members and the wider community active whilst their box sadly had to be shut due to lockdown rules. I can’t thank them enough for all the effort that has gone into putting on such a great event - and if I lived closer would certainly be on the list to join Grand Union. Highly recommend this business and everything they stand for .

Tom Parkinson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism A great initiative to produce the GU bingo throughout febuary lockdown. Very motivational, diverse and a great distraction from tough times.

Greg Walsh 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: One of the most professional and dedicated gyms around. Rob and Jenna are such great people, you can really see the love that they have for the CrossFit community, as well as the local community in Berkhamsted and surrounding areas. Their hard work really shines through in everything they do, despite being closed over many months of lockdown they have persevered and driven their members to stay fit. They've done zoom classes and free to all sessions on many occasions. My experience is largely from the community work-out bingo (GUBingo) where I experienced Rob and Jenna's drive and motivation, it really challenges you to do the maximum you can. A massive thanks to them for the challenge!

Sam Lynch 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality I was lucky enough to be invited to join a team for the GU bingo throughout febuary lockdown. It’s been great fun, enjoyable and organised fantastically. Rob and Jenna are both very knowledgeable coaches and bring so much enthusiasm to what why do. Keep up the good work guys!

luke wilcox 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: For a man that hates exercise and loves ice cream I thought CrossFit wasn’t for me! However one month in I have lost the lethargy I used to have daily and now find it easy to get up and play with my son! I’m a new man! The coaches are excellent going above and beyond what I’ve had at my old gym, providing support and scaling options for a more rotund gentlemen. Which really made me feel welcome and part of the family! Thanks guys lm looking forward to the next month!

Tom Thurston 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism GU Bingo has been a revelation & an innovative idea not just for the members of the Grand Union CrossFit, but allowing the wider network of friends to join in too. The workouts have been tough but varied & highly rewarding. Thank you to Rob & Jenna especially for organising such a great month long event!

Tracey Leadbetter 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: So glad I joined this place. The workouts by Rob and Jenna are great, they really know their stuff! The atmosphere and camaraderie of the members is what makes it so great, everyone wants you to do your best and push it that bit more each time. Can’t wait for the lockdown restrictions to lift so can get back in there.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely lovely place to train with great workouts and supportive coaching. It’s a real community and has made my summer. ☺️

K Coppin 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined GU Crossfit in October 2019 after a friend recommended it and I have not looked back since. The owners and coaches are brilliant, extremely knowledgeable and patient when teaching new skills. I tended to stay away from gyms and weights especially, but they have given me the confidence to use a gym. The community as well within the gym is brilliant - couldn't recommend it more.

Ruth Salsbury 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: There's a wait list to join this box and for good reason. A really high standard of coaching, a great community of friendly encouraging and supportive members, challenging workouts that leave you buzzing at the end of a session and absolutely top tunes to workout to! Hard to beat.

Paul Nicholls 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Jenna and Rob at GU are the best coaches. I’ve been doing CrossFit for a while now and I can safely say that the classes, equipment, facilities and most importantly, the people make it. There’s no ego in the room, just really great programming and an inclusive culture. I’ve met some awesome people at GU, and since joining I’ve hit a number of PB’s on my squat, clean, snatch and more. Couldn’t recommend a better gym. Check it out

Stephen Noad 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ive been going to GU CrossFit for 18 months now and joining here was one of the best things I have done. It’s so much more than just a gym. Not only is Rob and Jenna ‘s programming is top level, making every class fun and challenging but the biggest part for me is the incredible community vibe they have going on down there and everyone leaves with such a buzz. #wearegrandunion✌️

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Berkhamsted by far!

Ben Harrison 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: First time ever going to a CrossFit gym I was slightly nervous and wasn’t sure if it would be for me. After having a free trial session I was hooked and have signed up for full membership and have been going most days, Rob and Jen who own the place are absolutely lovely and have taught me so much in the 7 weeks I have been going and everyone that goes to Grand Union are so friendly to and everyone is super encouraging to each other. I have noticed my fitness levels go up so much in a short space of time. If your board of gyms and having to think of your work out routine and need a big push then this is the place for you.

Marina Munro 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this box for almost a year now. Myself and husband moved to the area and were looking for a good gym to join - we did a trial session with the coaches and loved it. I had some previous CF experience but since coming to GU I have improved in every aspect - gymnastics, fitness and strength. Rob and Jen, the coaches, are really supportive and encouraging to every member - no matter your own fitness background. The programming from the coaches, in my opinion, is guaranteed to make you progress. CrossFit gyms are generally more expensive and I used to grudge paying that for something that wasn't really worth it. But at GU you feel like you are always at a personal training session in every class. If there's an exercise that you don't feel comfortable with, the coaches are more than happy to give tips and tricks to get better at it. Both Rob and Jen are a massive inspiration to me on a personal level from running their own businesses and they also happen to be very fit and strong too :) For anyone that's thinking about trying it out - just do it, there's diffrent aspects to Crossfit that you will love more than others. But you couldn't pick a better gym to try it out than at GU!

Charlotte Latimer 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, amazing coaches! Loved my first experience at cross fit, even if I still can't move my arms two days after.

Rebecca Day 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'd lost my love for the gym a little and decided to go with my partner; turned out to be a great decision! Rob and Jenna are so welcoming, the class was great fun and it's the best all round exercise I'd had in ages. You don't need to know about CrossFit to go, I certainly didn't. They guide you through it all. Amazing!
