Little highlight of our boy Sammy 👊🏾

A solid 6-week block to rebuild confidence and sharpen things up.

Experienced in the sport but more Hyrox biased in recent times, so our focus wasn’t starting from scratch, it was about getting a consistent plan in place, and making small fixes to a few bad habits.

Why do we still do the CrossFit Open 6 years down the line? 🤩

It’s our performance benchmark and reminder. It’s proof of progress and an honest look at what still needs work.

It’s that 1RM thruster you hope never comes up, the frustrating double unders you always say you’ll practice next week and so on.

Equally, it’s your chance to finally show you got your BMU’s under fatigue, your barbel cycling improvements and how far you’ve come overall since last time! 🫶🤞

More than anything, we do not do it as a political statement or to collect CrossFit money, we do the open so we can share Friday Night Lights with our friends and members!

Judging, cheering, laughing, crying… and watching people surprise themselves! As coaches and members, seeing that growth (and courage) across three weeks is an unmatched feeling! 😎

Six years in, it’s part of our journey now, and a throwback to why we started. And… to be honest, it’s just really fun! 🙌🏾

Why I Coach - Coach Sim

I was the first one to skip PE at school and the last one to leave the pub at uni — and honestly, no regrets. 🍻

Somewhere along the way though, I got bored of training on my own and dropped into a CrossFit Colchester class. The coaches were kind. The workout was *hard*!😂😮‍💨

I went home that day and realised I’d spent years working against my body. So I came back the next day… and the day after that. Slowly, things started to change 📈

Once training became a habit, I started letting go of other habits (🚬🍷) 🥰

Fast forward a few years and I became obsessed with the CrossFit methodology, nutrition, fitness as we age and more. With the help of amazing mentors, I became a coach.

Putting on that red t-shirt is still one of my proudest moments! 🥳 🔴

I coach because I want other people to feel that same thing — Achieving something you never thought you could! Whether that's getting your first pull-up or linking 20, entering a gym for the first time or stepping onto the competition floor! 🤸

I promise you that if I can do it, absolutely anyone can, get in touch and let’s start the journey! 💫

Why I Coach – JJ

I’ve always had a bit of an obsession with health, fitness and sport. I think I always knew I’d end up doing something in this space, but it wasn’t until I found CrossFit during lockdown that it really clicked. I fell in love with the programme, the community and the sport and I haven’t really looked back.

CrossFit teaches consistency, rewards hard work, and challenges you to keep improving. Along the way it builds confidence, not just in the gym, but in how you show up day to day. For me, it’s the best “bang for your buck” training programme I’ve tried for long-term health and fitness.

More than anything, coaching for me is about passing on what I’ve learned. Helping people who are willing to show up for themselves to move better, move safer, and move towards their goals. Whether that’s unlocking a skill, getting stronger, or simply feeling ready for whatever life throws at them. We all need a bit of help sometimes, and this is where I believe I can give it.

If you’d like a chat about your goals, send us a message and we’ll talk through the best next step 💬😊
