👋 MEET THE COACH: ABBIE

4 years ago, Abbie walked into a CrossFit gym as a weightlifter, watching the evening classes thinking, “That looks like so much fun…”

Fast forward to today and she’s not only a CrossFit athlete, but one of the coaches helping others discover what they’re capable of. 💪

🏋️‍♀️ Level 1 CrossFit Coach
🎓 Level 2 Gym Instructor
📚 Currently completing her Level 3 PT qualification
🔥 Favourite movements: Lunges & HSPU
🤢 Least favourite: Assault Bike (understandable)

But what really stands out about Abbie isn’t her qualifications or her ability to do 7 muscle-ups in a workout…

It’s why she coaches.

Having originally worked as a teacher, Abbie loves the similarities between teaching and coaching — helping people learn, progress and achieve things they once thought weren’t possible.

And perhaps most importantly, she knows what it’s like to feel like you don’t belong in a gym.

That’s something she wants to change for other people.

Because CrossFit isn’t just about getting fitter.

It’s about finding your people, building confidence, doing things you never thought you could do and leaving the gym feeling better than when you walked in.

And that’s exactly what we want South Downs CrossFit to be. ❤️

Go give Abbie a follow, say hello next time you’re in and find out why she has a serious dislike for the Assault Bike 😂

Welcome to the team, Abbie. 🤝

Meet Pete 👋

Head Coach, Co-Founder & Owner of HoldFast Fitness | South Downs CrossFit.

Pete has been in the fitness industry for close to 16 years and has been part of the CrossFit world for many of them. After years working in professional, university and amateur sport as a Strength & Conditioning coach, followed by years of coaching, managing a gym and building a community, it’s finally time to put all of that experience into something where he can truly express his own vision.

HoldFast and is that next chapter — and one he’s pretty bloody excited about. 😂

For Pete, CrossFit has always been about more than just lifting weights and getting fitter. It’s the people, the community, the challenge and seeing what you’re capable of when you consistently turn up and put the work in.

He’s a big believer that when you’ve completed something hard, a lot of things in life suddenly seem a little bit easier.

Favourite movement? Anything heavy.
Least favourite? Probably anything involving running… or going upside down. 😂

His biggest goal with gym is simple: create a space where people feel welcome, can progress, have a laugh and genuinely want to come back.

And after everything it’s taken to get here… we’re only just getting started. 💪

The past couple of weeks have been huge — and with just two weeks to go, the space is really coming alive 🔥

We prepped the floor, had it fitted, ran our first ever CrossFit workout in the new home, watched boxes of incredible kit roll in, got part of the rig up, and even squeezed in some DIY to make sure everything feels just right.

Every step has been a mix of hard work, excitement, and community energy… and we’re nearly ready to welcome you in 💛💪

The countdown is officially ON.
