ABOUT us
At CrossFit Aldgate & Farringdon we deliver a structured, progressive programme, of training, nutrition and recovery.
In every session, you’re guided by passionate, expert coaches throughout: we’ll adapt the programme to your ability, make sure your technique is on point and support you through each workout from start to finish.
We help you become stronger, fitter and more athletic and operate in small group sessions so you have a supportive community of like minded people around you to support you in your progress!
CrossFit affiliates have been changing lives in this way all over the world for over 20 years, and we were the first to bring this style of coaching and community into the heart of the City of London over a decade ago.
As you’ve found us, you may already have an idea of what the CrossFit training methodology is… However, there are a lot of misconceptions out there, so first, here’s what it isn’t:
CrossFit is not:
- really hard or intense and only for people who are already fit
- all about heavy weights or crazy workouts
- cliquey, exclusive or dangerous
So what IS CrossFit then? Simply put, CrossFit is:
- Effective – The CrossFit training methodology gets you as broadly physically capable as possible! We focus on improving your strength, fitness and physique at the same time
- Adaptable – every element, from the movements you do to the intensity you work at, is scaled to suit your ability
- Guided – Our CrossFit sessions always are lead by a coach, so you’re guided through the process and supported when it’s challenging!
- Supportive – Our training is done in small group sessions – because getting in shape can be tough, and it’s certainly tougher doing it on your own, so a supportive community is key!
The best way to find out what CrossFit is… is to try it!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything in CrossFit is scaled from the complexity of the exercises to the intensity that you work at, so everyone from your grandma to your athletic hero can, participate in CrossFit. We set different levels for each workout so you will be working with others who have a similar ability to you. Your coach is there to adapt and modify each session to meet you where you’re at!
Because our training programme focusses on building strength and fitness, it’s ideal for changing your body shape and getting leaner, and far more effective than the standard cardio only approach. We use lots of different elements mixed together in our workouts, and do include some machines like rowers, ski ergs and bikes, btu the variety keeps your body guessing and makes it more fun!
In short our facility, our programme, our coaches and our community are likely completely different to any other that you have experienced before. Most operators out there are selling either simply access to equipment (like traditional gyms) or an exciting experience (places like Barrys, spin studios etc) but neither of these actually create an environment to get you where you need to go. Here, we offer structure, guidance and support, all in an environment that is specifically geared for progress, no matter where you’re starting from!
Yes and we provide you with a towel.
– why is this?
‘Globo-gyms’ set their prices banking on you not showing up. We, on the other hand, expect you to show up and so base the membership price on how many times you attend per week and cap how many people can attend each session.
We are offer a completely different service to gyms who just give you access to equipment:
- You will be coached by experienced trainers through every workout rather than being left on your own,
- We plan every session as part of a wider, tailored programme,
- Our facility can accommodate far more effective training methods than one being clogged up with boring machines,
- You will be part of a close community that will support you on your journey
