At CrossFit DHM our aim is to give you the best hour of your day in a supportive community setting. Our qualified coaches focus on quality of movement and helping you achieve your goals, whatever they are.

At CrossFit DHM everything revolves around our community, made up of people from all walks of life. Started in 2012 by Dave and Joyce Ranson, the gym has grown in size and strength over the years. In 2020 the box was taken on by two member-turned-coaches, Mark Davies and Rosi Jelfs. Both have full-time careers in the ‘real’ world, but share a passion for CrossFit and helping others succeed.

At CrossFit DHM we believe CrossFit is for all, regardless of race, age, gender, disability, religion or sexual orientation; regardless of ability or fitness level. We would like everyone to feel included and welcome whether they are a member, prospective member, or visitor. We recognise that joining a new gym or starting a fitness journey can feel intimidating, particularly for people who identify as part of a minority group. We will do all we can to support and welcome all into our community.

We don’t believe, however, that Crossfit is ‘one size fits all’ - everything can be adapted to suit the individual. We think this is especially relevant in the case of disabilities, learning difficulties, injuries and other health conditions. We work with individuals, blending our movement knowledge with their experience of their body and mind, to find suitable adaptations where necessary. 

You aren’t obliged to disclose your medical history, disability, health condition or injury to us when you come for a free trial or become a member, but if you choose to do so it might mean we are better able to adapt our coaching to your needs and/or make reasonable adjustments, especially if there is an impact on how you move or learn. We won’t treat you differently, but we will tailor our coaching.

Everyone is so friendly and ultra supportive helping me on my journey to being stronger and better . All the trainers are so brilliant it’s like having a personal trainer and the owners are lush too ... do today what will be the best decision you’ve made and book your free trial today .. you won’t regret it

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of multiple CorssFit gyms throughout the UK and CrossFit DHM personifies what CrossFit is and should be. Dave, Joyce and their team of coaches epitomise community. From the moment you walk in you are made to feel welcome by all members. In addition the coaching quality is high and will push you beyond what you think you are capable of. The coaches all take the time to learn your current skill level and work with you personally to take you to the next level. All workouts are clearly explained and demonstrated as well as being adapted to skill levels. I've made more progression at CrossFit DHM than anywhere else. Thoroughly recommend stepping away from the larger chain and corporate gyms where you are membership number and training with people who see you as a person and take the time to help you achieve your goals, whatever they may be.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit DHM is like my second home and my family . I’ve trained here for about 5 years and I still love it . I love varied exercise and you never know what you will be doing, from learning how to lift weights safely to rowing to rope climbs. I love how every movement can be modified to suit your ability. People think you have to be fit to do CrossFit , but it’s doing CrossFit that gets you moving and gets you fit . It works For Both body and mind thanks to a great community and of coaches !

Fantastic experience: Where do I start....this place makes you feel amazing! The coaches are so supportive, they encourage you to push yourself beyond your limits to develop and grow in strength and fitness. I can lift weights and achieve movements I never thought I'd ever be able to do. Everyone is so friendly and cheers you on, it is a great place to train!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Crossfit box and the coaches excellent. WODs are adaptable to your level of fitness and experience. Everyone makes you feel welcome as soon as you enter the box, which is great when you feel nervous upon joining for the first time.

Fantastic experience: After dipping in and out of different types of training I was recommended to try Crossfit, Walking into Crossfit DHM, nerves were immediately eradicated by the fantastic welcome from the members and coaches. Dave, Joyce, Mark, Joe, Rosi and Kelley have a massive amount of knowledge and are always there to help, support and tailor training to your ability, I can honestly say I am in the best shape mentally and physically I have ever been in. The atmosphere, environment and training is first class and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Best of all your first session is FREE so you have nothing to lose.

Fantastic experience: Into my third year at DHM now and never regretted a minute of it. At the age of 66 I'd never been to a gym. I was doing lots of running and sustaining a few minor leg strains. A friend recommended DHM as a way of varying my training. I went to meet Dave, tentatively gave it a try and was immediately hooked. What I was most worried about was my age and complete lack of experience. The friendliness and helpfulness of the members took care of the first one. The expert coaching by Dave, Joyce and the team soon sorted the second. The ease with which all workouts can be scaled is a massive plus point....and you know what....no one judges you on what weight you can manage, how high you can jump, how strongly you can row. You get encouragement from everyone during the workout and congratulated at the end of your session. I've just completed my second Crossfit games and achieved standards I wouldn't have dreamt I could do two years ago. It's a good feeling. I was recently on holiday and felt totally confident using a hotel gym, devising my own workout and performing it competently regardless of who else was in there. Approaching 70, I feel as though Crossfit DHM has given me a whole new perspective on managing my physical fitness and maintaining a happy and healthy mental attitude in handling the ageing process. If you're considering it, do it.

Fantastic experience: Dave and all of the coaches are the BEST I have experienced! The authenticity of their gym shows how it is always filled with people pushing each other, focusing on intensity over using a "heavier weight"...You'd think a 15 minute workout is "not too bad" until you are THIRTY SECONDS into it! Definitely give them a try, even if you've never picked up a weight, the community aspect makes you want to come back again and again.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at CrossFit DHM on and off for about 3-4 Years now. The workouts are always a challenge but there’s never any pressure to carry out movements or exercises that you’re not comfortable with. The coaching team (with Dave at the head) are very knowledgeable and willing to help. Team workouts on a Friday are brilliant, as are Strongman Saturdays. If you’re looking to give your fitness a big push in the right direction, this it a great place to be.
