Addison Cooper
"I joined Crossfit BFG towards the end of last year after having tried a few other gyms and being unsure about whether this style of training was for me. It doesn't matter where you are starting from: workouts are scaled for all fitness levels and you will find yourself achieving things you never thought you could. The coaches are incredible athletes and great people. They believe in you and know how to help you on your journey. I'm fitter and stronger than I have ever been and it translates to everyday life. I'm hooked. Thank you, team BFG!"
Sophia Attwood-Clarke
"This place is, hands down the best gym I have ever been to. I’ve never done CrossFit before in my life, I’ve always gone to a normal gym where I’ve not been able to push myself to my limits. Coming to this gym has really helped with that, these guys will push you but also keep in mind that everyone is on a slightly different fitness level. Coming here for the first time on recommendation, I’ll be honest I was a bit nervous as I didn’t quite know what to expect. But straight away the trainer introduced himself I felt comfortable and I got into it, and Now I keep coming back, from doing 1 day a week to doing 4 days a week. My fitness level has massively improved over the past 8 weeks and my strength has significantly improved too. I can’t keep away from this place now, it’s best thing I ever done mentally and physically."
