Most people hear “CrossFit” and immediately think they need to already be fit before they walk through the door.

They picture people throwing massive weights around, doing gymnastics and training like athletes.

But that’s not really what Mercia is about.

Yes, we do CrossFit.

We do HYROX, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting and gymnastics too.

But we’ve also got people training for marathons and half marathons.

People who want to get stronger.

People who want to lose a bit of weight.

And people who just want somewhere they actually enjoy coming to a few times a week.

Different ages.

Different shapes and sizes.

Completely different levels of fitness.

Everyone training alongside each other.

Because everything we do can be scaled to where you’re at right now.

You don’t need to “get fit first”.

You just need to turn up.

If you’ve been looking for somewhere to train, get fitter and actually enjoy being part of a gym, come and give Mercia a go.

Your first class is free 👊

You don’t have to train 5 or 6 times a week to get something out of CrossFit.

For some people, it’s 2 sessions a week.

For others, it’s 3 or 4.

And sometimes it’s not even about constantly chasing bigger lifts, faster times or getting fitter every single week.

Sometimes it’s just about having somewhere you actually enjoy training.

Seeing the same faces.

Having a laugh.

Getting a good session in and leaving feeling better than when you walked through the door.

That’s a massive part of what CrossFit Mercia is about.

Come as much or as little as works for you.

If you fancy seeing what it’s like, your first class is completely free.

🏆 MEMBER OF THE MONTH – AUGUST 2026 🏆

A massive congratulations to Faith Williams, our August Member of the Month! 👏🔥

Faith’s work ethic over the last few months has been seriously impressive. Whether it’s putting the work in during classes, getting extra training done in Open Gym, or casually smashing out double sessions, she’s been incredibly consistent.

And apparently holidays aren’t an excuse either… Faith has even been getting the training in while she’s away. 😂💪

She also brings plenty of sass to the gym, keeps the coaches on their toes and has even been known to listen to coaching from time to time… when it suits her. 👀😂

But behind the sass is someone who works incredibly hard and is always looking to improve — and that hard work is paying off.

This year Faith stepped onto the competition floor at the European BF3 Championships and has now earned an invite to the Worlds! 🌍🔥

An amazing achievement and thoroughly deserved recognition for someone who continues to show up, put the work in and push herself.

Keep smashing it, Faith — keep the double sessions coming, and next stop… the Worlds! 🌍🏆

Most people who join CrossFit Mercia have been to a gym before.

They’ve paid for memberships, gone for a few weeks, tried to stay motivated… but never really enjoyed it.

No real plan.
Not sure what to do when they get there.
Training on their own.
And eventually, they just stop going.

Mercia is different.

You turn up and the session is planned for you. You’ve got coaches there to help you, people around you doing it with you, and a community you actually want to be part of.

And you don’t need to be fit before you start.

CrossFit meets you where you are.

You come in, train at your level, keep showing up, get fitter, make some mates and actually enjoy the process.

That’s what it’s about.

If you’re sick of forcing yourself to go to a gym you don’t enjoy, come and try something different.

Your first class at CrossFit Mercia is completely free.

TECHNIQUE TUESDAY 🏋️‍♂️ | THRUSTERS

If thrusters are absolutely cooking your shoulders, you might be making them harder than they need to be 👀

❌ Front squat + strict press
❌ Pressing too early
❌ Death-gripping the bar

✅ Drive hard through the legs
✅ Let the hips create the momentum
✅ Arms finish the job overhead
✅ Relax the grip in the front rack

Simple cue: LEGS LAUNCH IT. ARMS FINISH IT. 🚀

Next time thrusters come up in a WOD, give these a go and see if they feel smoother (we won’t promise they’ll feel nice 😅)
