Bettering peoples’ lives
through fitness and well-being
Let Me Tell You About CrossFit…
At CrossFit Royston you’ll become part of our fitness family where we help encourage and motivate you as you prepare to deal with life’s challenges (even if this is staying awake at work or dealing with the kids all day).
CrossFit’s unique ten-point strength and conditioning programmes are designed to work the whole body physically and mentally, this will help reduce weight, strengthen and tone your body while sharpening your mind too!
CrossFit exercise is all about functional movements, it has been described as “Gymnastics meets Olympic lifting”.
CrossFit is really a lifestyle for those that want to become better humans. Here at Royston we see CrossFit like a team sport and the encouragement from everyone in your session will push you to smash your fitness goals.
The CrossFit community is an international one so even when you go on holiday there will be a box nearby.
