CrossFit Jorvik

I have been doing CrossFit on and off for over a decade and have trained in gyms across the world, including the one managed by the CrossFit UK country manager. Had the most bizarre and unwelcoming experience. I was ignored when messaging on social media trying to join, and had to turn up at the gym unexpected to tell them I wanted to join. It took quite some time after that message to get a response and to get things moving. First, there seems to be a massive discrepancy between prices that are paid between members and the gym is not transparent about their fees. I was told a fee, and said that a discount would be applied by the owner as I’m a student. 6 weeks later he doesn’t recall this conversation. The programming has very little CrossFit. Lots of accessories and cable movements instead. There was one bike at the gym. At the end of the 6 week trial I was told that I had a different training philosophy to them. Absolutely no idea what that means and was told I was lying about the prices that I was told 6 weeks prior. Unsure what their gym philosophy is but it’s not CrossFit.

Great gym and very handy as it is in the centre of York, and has classes from early morning until late evening. Professional and friendly coaches who also offer support beyond just training in class if required - nutrition, lifestyle, periodic checks etc Very friendly members and great atmosphere.

Best commitment to health I've had for a long time, lost circa 14kg of body fat (not weight, just fat) in under a year and feel much better, look much better. Coaches keep it interesting, running side activities to have you thinking about diet and exercise outside the gym. I keep finidng out I can do new things; chin-ups, dragonflies, 5k etc.

CrossFit Jorvik is a fantastic place. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The coaches are amazing and whatever your age or level of fitness you are welcomed and encouraged. The workouts are well thought out and never boring. Scaled to your ability. Nutrition advice too. No fad diets. Proper solid sensible advice to keep you fit, well and strong in mind and body. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Recently became a member and CrossFit Jorvik with zero idea what to do or what to expect. 2 weeks in and I feel great the classes are super flexible they’re on 7 days a week. The coaches are all so friendly, supportive, motivational. I would 100% recommend this to anyone doesn’t matter what stage you’re at in your fitness journey!
