Since joining crossfit teesside 2 and half months ago, it has kicked me back up another level. This is down to a number of factors... 1. The quality and range of the workouts are superb and so well balanced; 2. The details like links to different exercises & lifts when the WOD is posted the night before is a great touch; 3. The obvious dedication and enthusiam of the coaches is infectious; 4. The owner takes interest in your own story and time to get to know you, what you want to achieve, and is motivating but understanding; 5. The sense of community established is nice to be a part of (especially as somebody who doesn't know many people in Teesside)... I was initially on the fence wondering if this wasn't something I could just do in the gym myself, but the package and service on offer here is first class and worth every penny. I'd highly recommend.

I've only been going to CrossFit Teesside for a short time, but I'm genuinely so glad I joined. I was a bit nervous at first, but everyone has made me feel so welcome from day one. The workouts are tough, but they're also fun. The coaches are fantastic—really knowledgeable, always there to help with technique, and constantly encouraging you to push yourself while making sure you work at your own level. The members are just as amazing. Everyone is friendly, supportive, and always happy to offer advice or encouragement, no matter your experience. It really feels like a community rather than just a gym. I actually look forward to going. It never feels like something I have to do because I genuinely enjoy every session. If you're thinking about trying CrossFit, I couldn't recommend CrossFit Teesside enough.

Great gym! Owner is very helpful and my class leader was as well. I visited on a holiday from the United States and would definitely return if I'm in country again. Enjoyed the workout.

I was a member of CrossFit Teesside for 7 years before recently moving away, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone considering joining. The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely interested in helping members achieve their goals. The programming is excellent and caters for all fitness levels. Everyone is welcoming, encouraging, and it creates a fantastic atmosphere to train in. I would 100% recommended to anyone and everyone!

Since I joined CrossFit Teeside 6 months ago I have fallen in love with CrossFit. Joining might feel daunting but not only do you feel physically healthier the community is truly so friendly, so inspiring and so so welcoming! To top it all off the coaches are awesome and always brings a smile to people no matter how challenging the workout! I simply cannot recommend CrossFit Teeside enough !!

I’ve only been going for a short time, but I’ve absolutely loved every class so far. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes a huge difference. The instructors are outstanding, they’re clearly very knowledgeable about CrossFit and always go out of their way to help you improve and perform at your best. I couldn’t recommend it more highly!!!

Our gym was closed unexpectedly and so my partner and I went to CrossFit Teesside so we could continue our CrossFit journey. Lee was super helpful with my messages getting us set up and letting us have our first session for free to try it with no commitment. We then joined, and Lee, Rich, and the other coaches have all been so amazing, and the members have all been so welcoming! Thank you for helping us to keep going and for looking after us!

Top class coaches. Welcoming and friendly, not just for me but also my fiancé. I spent a lot of time away with work throughout my year at CrossFit Teeside. Whilst away it was not just a relief but also really great how approachable the environment was for my fiance to go as an individual, meet new people and get constant support! Hope to move up North again in the future with work partly to rejoin such a great fitness community.

I absolutely love CrossFit Teeside. I joined start of 2025 and sadly left at the end of the year (relocation) but joining was the best thing I have ever done. I’ve never done anything like it before and was anxious starting, but the coaches and people attending could not make you feel more welcome. I was nervous I wouldn’t be good enough, but CrossFit is not like that, it’s for all shapes, sizes, speeds and strengths. Never did I come out of a class not feeling good about myself, and uplifted by the people around me. I used to hate running, but CrossFit helped me grow to love it, so much so I’m running a half marathon in February this year. Not only did it help my running but also my strength, determination and general self esteem. The coaches are amazing, pushed you enough and always made you feel listened to and appreciated. Thank you CrossFit Teeside you really have improved my outlook on fitness and overall outlook on life! I know if I relocate back to Teeside I will absolutely start this up again! 🏃‍♀️ 🥳

Truely transformational experience: For someone who doesn't like the staid sameness of gym workouts I definately recommend Teeside Cross Fit: everyday is a different set of exercises, never boring always challenging with a great group of people - the 6am group is definately the group to be in. Attended for 4 years, sad to leave due to relocation - I will be back!
