What a great supportive community we have! I can't recommend this sport enough and this place is just fantastic. Our Head Coach Ben is just the most passionate, dedicated and caring person you'll ever meet. I've joined the cult a year and a half ago and I'm so addicted, but it's such a great addiction to have ❤️ The programming works, you just have to trust the system and show up to the classes. Big shout out to all coaches for all the help and support 🙌🏼 Susie, Will, Steph, Cal, Nikko

I had not been to CrossFit before joining the Ancoats gym. The coaches and other members were instantly so welcoming and inclusive. The coaches are patient and helpful, always making sure our form is correct and we are pushing ourselves. Every workout is challenging and fun, highly recommend.

Great place, great staff and great community. I joined 6 months ago and have never felt in better shape. I love not having to worry about programming for myself and just being able to focus on having fun and working hard. Seriously, if you’ve never done CrossFit before or think it’s too daunting or not for you, just give it a go! I felt like that too before I started and it’s the best decision I ever made.

Really knowledgeable coaches who are able to adapt every workout for you whatever your circumstances are. I am currently pregnant and it’s been fantastic knowing I’m getting the right support and advice to be able to keep working out but in a safe way for me and the baby. Also shout out the CrossFit Ancoats members who are the best bunch of people and the biggest cheerleaders. Joining CrossFit Ancoats is one of my highlights of last year

Joining CrossFit Ancoats was the best decision ever. Been doing it for good 6 months plus and will def keep up with it. Friendly, supportive, knowledgeable people in a very motivating and humble community. Totally recommend it to everyone!!

“This review is well over due” Top top gym proper made me feel at home made myself a proper Manc family, great workouts, great energy, great equipment. Ben and suzi beautiful people along with the other coaches. Can’t forget a big shout out to the members too they made me feel part of the crew straight away. Highly recommend this gym.When in Manchester will 100% be my first stop!! Pete London

I recently completed an On-Ramp 3 session course at CrossFit Ancoats, designed to welcome complete beginners like myself into the world of CrossFit. I can genuinely say that this course was nothing short of great. Coaches Ben and Susie went above and beyond to ensure I grasped all the fundamentals and performed exercises correctly, giving me the confidence to join regular classes without feeling overwhelmed. They not only taught me the basics but also introduced me to the CrossFit terminology, provided guidance on how to scale workouts for beginners, and most importantly, instilled the knowledge needed to embark on this sport safely and successfully. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone looking to get into CrossFit. It's been an invaluable experience.

Been going about 6 months and loving it. Super friendly bunch of people who go and the coaches are brilliant. Ben and Susie have created a gym with a great culture. Very glad I joined

My CrossFit journey started here at Ancoats, and I am so glad I found such a wonderful and supportive community :) As that girl who frequently skipped PE in school, for sure I found my love for exercise here. Atmosphere is always fun and welcoming. Everyone hypes each other up and you make friends very quickly. There's something for everyone in CrossFit, you don't need to be a pro athlete to be part of this community. So I recommend anyone of any skill level to try it out! Absolutely amazing coaches; knowledgeable, thorough and give great advice. I have learned and progressed so much in just over a year! They really challenge and motivate you here even when you think it's past your capabilities! Ben, Susie, Will, Callum and Steph, much love to you all! ♥️

I’ve spent years on and off with exercise. Was a keen runner for most of my 20s but this has been, by far, the most consistent and enjoyable training I’ve ever done. Can’t thank Ben and the team enough!

Ben and CrossFit Ancoats was superb. I went for a drop-in and ended up 2RM PB on my Deadlift. Ben is an Uber professional with knowledge, structure and presence. The warm-up was well drilled out; coached breath by breath. Ben asked the class about injuries which is alway/ a good signifier of a coach on form. His timekeeping was impeccable. The warm up, the deadlifts (including strength warm up) 7x2 were every 3:00mins. The class were lined up well too and every athlete received plenty of 1:1 attention. We finished at 13:00 on the dot, Timekeeping on point. The toilets were more than clean, they would make for a dinner table and there were lots of nice little touches and plenty of equipment. My only critique in my review and perhaps very hard to judge off one midday session as a random drop in. The atmosphere was quiet and there was no high fives after the WOD, whilst it was good that that there was a professional feel, It felt it a little solemn. Again one random drop in and perhaps a comment on this particular session and not the box as a whole. Overall, excellent facility, location and Ben is a world class coach! Will be returning.

The best part of my day! Super professional and lovely coaches. The community here is second to none, it doesn't matter if it's your first or three-hundredth class, everyone will make you feel welcome

Such a great community ! I've become the strongest and fittest version of myself thanks to the amazing coaches and members. 10/10 support with everyone wanting the best for each other :)

This review is long over due. I recently moved to Manchester from overseas and was looking for a gym that would challenge me physically and provide community. CrossFit Ancoats is just that! Ben and Suzie are absolutely amazing and provide clear instruction on all movements, so if you’re new to CrossFit (like I am) don’t worry they’ve got you covered. CrossFit Ancoats has been motivating, inspiring, accepting and judgement free.

I did a drop in session whilst in Manchester for work and the coach and members were all really welcoming. The box is fully equipped, clean and tidy

Dropped in here on a Saturday morning. Fairly large box with all CrossFit equipment as you’d expect. Super friendly owners.
