    As an avid (addicted) crossfitter, always enjoy visiting other boxes. These guys were very friendly and welcoming. Cracking work out. The team always happy to answer any questions. Kit was all very new. Showers are great, whole place is very clean... see you all again soon... :)

    Dropped in while on holiday from Sydney. Everyone was super welcoming, the facilities were excellent and the workout was just what I needed! Would highly recommend Motley Crew to anyone in Cape Town.

    Had a phenomenal time training with the Motley Crew folks! Was in Cape Town for a week, and their week drop-in class rate was extremely helpful. The programming was tough, the coaches were encouraging, and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Highly recommend!

    I had a great experience as a drop in at Motley Crew Hudson and Foundry for a week. At both boxes the areas were super organized, had a great selection of equipment, and I found the WODS to be challenging as well as a good variety of skills. They also have classes all day long, so it’s incredibly easy to fit a workout into any schedule. The coaches were some of the best I’ve come across, and I’ve dropped in at over 20 boxes around the world. Even though they knew I was a drop in they were very helpful at correcting my form and pushing me to my max. Coach Steve especially is very talented at spotting exactly how you need to change your form to be successful. If you need a box to workout at in Cape Town, go here; you won’t be disappointed.

    Amazing gym and coaches. Members were also friendly and helpful but 6am is still 6am so don’t expecting a full welcoming party 😀. Facility is great and has coffee next door ! But if you are traveling, the area to the gym can seem a little uneasy so be alert. Program is what you would expect. Coach Kait was phenomenal and she managed to help me with my handstands in one session. I was wet noodle and she got me touching my heels to the wall. 👊 Don’t hesitate to drop in, you won’t regret it.

    To put it simply - an amazing box with positive, funny and warm people. I was visiting Cape Town from London for a few days and decided to give Motley a try whilst in town. I definitely made the right choice - excellent communication, friendly staff and super challenging WODs. Looking forward to visiting you again!

  • 5/5 K. J. 4 years ago on Google
    Super friendly CrossFit Box. I was here for a Drop-In and they were just amazing. I can very recommend this place :)

  • 5/5 Rebekah Cid del P. 7 months ago on Google
    I was in town for a few weeks and dropped in several times at this gem of a gym. Friendly and knowledgeable coaching staff, super nice class participants and generally fun workouts. I love that they have recovery services available and a café just outside the gym doors. 10/10 would recommend, and if in town again you will find me there working out!

  • 5/5 Bertus Jansen van R. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent facility. Coaches (Tyron Hatch) really is an amazing coach. I have never been in a CrossFit class where the coach gave me warm up and skill preparation exercises which prepare your body neuroadaptively to do the movement/lift to a high, safe standard. I also loved the vibe and would definitely recommend this box for a drop in if you are in the vicinity. Thx Motley Crew CF for making my drop in experience a joyous event in my day and not just another class.

  • 5/5 Craig K. 1 year ago on Google
    Well appointed space and some really, really good coaching. I’ve been doing CrossFit since 2010 and as a trainer since 2012 and feel comfortable saying this is a great group and you’ll get both an awesome workout and be well-coached!

  • 5/5 Joshua K. 1 year ago on Google
    Over the past 6 years of being involved in Crossfit, I have visited over 25 Crossfit gyms and I can confidently say that the coaching, community culture, and business operations that Motley has created is the best. From helping folks just getting in with exercise to challenging the most experienced members, they know how to keep you moving forward and improving. Keep it up!

  • 5/5 Riley K. 2 years ago on Google
    My daughter and I were in CPT on holiday and we dropped in for some classes and open gym sessions at both the Seaboard and Hudson locations. Instructors and members couldn’t have been more accommodating and it was a perfect place for us to keep active on vacation. Will definitely drop in again whenever we are in town.

  • 5/5 Sam C. 1 year ago on Google
    I trained at Motley for 2 months while visiting Cape Town and I already miss it. Trainers were very helpful and supportive and I feel like my overall fitness improved so much while I was there. Definitely recommend and hope to come back one day!

  • 4/5 Kyle M. 2 years ago on Google
    Had the priviledge of training with the Motley crew this week. From the start, the approach to registering for my drop-in was very professional. Quick response and great approach to customer service. The members made me feel welcome, as did both of the coaches on the two days I trained. I highly recommend giving this box a try!

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 1 year ago on Google
    We dropped into Motley Crew CrossFit on our honeymoon. As avid travellers to many facilities, by far this one was the most welcoming not only from the coaches but the members as well. We ran through a general and specific warm up, as well as detailed breakdown of the movements, which was demoed by the coach and explained on common faults and simple corrections to lift safely. Shower facilities and members area upstairs was inviting and clean. For anyone visiting it’s a MUST if you want to carry on your CrossFit training, if your a local, I could recommend it more - they go beyond the standards you see at regular gyms so you will be taken care for and get some awesome training. Andy 😊

  • 5/5 Jenna F. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a great box!!! From booking drop in’s with the admin side, easy locations, great communication, all is is on point & everything is just great in every way!!! Such a vibe and the coaching is on a top level :) Definitely the place to be when you in CT and want to hit up a session!!! Thanks so much Motley for a great experience and keep up the amazing work that you guys have created!!!! Xxx

  • 5/5 murat b. 2 years ago on Google
    We trained with my partner here for 1 week. Had such a nice experience with nice WODs. All coaches are super friendly and helpful. They are well equipped to do all a crossfitter needs. Location super central and easy communication with Jess. If u need your protein shake after your training just next door a lovely cafe for all your needs.

  • 5/5 Maike V. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great place to be a part of. The Crew is amazing and even for beginners, they make sure you feel welcome and that you feel part of the crew from the very first session. Addiction and success guaranteed if you keep going. After looking for a place to get fit and in shape I finally found it ❤ Thanks Crew 🏋️‍♀️ You are amazing! Update: Now over 8 months into CF at Motley Crew I feel so much fitter and healthier. Motley Crew rocks!

  • 5/5 Keith M. 2 years ago on Google
    I was recently in Cape Town for vacation and having just taken up CrossFit I was keen to keep some momentum while away. Had a great time at the Motley crew location in Hudson, it was the 0730 class and had a blast! Everyone was very welcoming, coaches very well organised and contagious positive energy during the session. Great way to start the day and perfect for tourists too looking to mingle with locals and keep themselves mobile!

  • 5/5 Sam van K. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I were on holiday in Cape Town from the USA. We dropped in for a class at Motley Crew and had a great workout! The facility is in a cool neighborhood, the coach was great, and everyone was so welcoming! Definitely recommend Motley Crew CrossFit!

  • 5/5 John M. 2 years ago on Google
    I trained here for 2 weeks in March. From the first contact to the last workout the experience was amazing. The coaching, the facilities and the program had me excited to come back every day. And least of all the community I have trained at over 300 boxes across the globe and the community here is up there in my top 5 I have experienced! If you are in the area you must do at least one drop in!

  • 5/5 Nina S. 1 year ago on Google
    We joined motley crew during our 2 months stay in Cape Town! We really loved it. Friendly staff and they make adjustments for your level:) going to join CrossFit in Norway after this!!

  • 5/5 Siena C. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely LOVED Motley Crew CrossFit! Such a welcoming experience, with incredibly knowledgable trainers and challenging workouts!! Everyone could not have been nicer and more welcoming. A real community spirit. They even had an adorable puppy upstairs! Will definitely come back on my next trip to Cape Town.

  • 5/5 Michael R. 6 months ago on Google
    We dropped in here on a recent trip to Capetown. This is a great gym and they were very welcoming. The coaching was great and there were great athletes. The space is small and they limit class size so book early. Would recommend for any crossfitter looking to move while in Capetown.

  • 5/5 Jasper 5 months ago on Google
    Motley Crew is an awesome CrossFit group. The professors are always so on top of it and the gyms themselves (both in De Waterkant and Sea Point) were clean and airy. Booking classes was easy too. Definitely will be coming back next time I’m in Cape Town!

  • 5/5 Marilyn R. 4 months ago on Google
    Great coaches, they're very patient with me so thank you for that. :) It's also a great community and I'm already seeing positive results with my overall wellbeing and fitness. Highly recommend for any level of fitness!

  • 5/5 M E. 4 months ago on Google
    Highly competent and great coaches. Fantastic community - we worked out here for a month and we felt very welcome from the very first moment. We liked the varied programming and the schedule. One of the best boxes ever. Hope to be back soon! Thank you guys for having us.

  • 5/5 Anna F. 1 year ago on Google
    It's been a great time training at Motley Crew CrossFit. The facility gives everything you need, there is always a Coach to help and motivate you and the people there are amazing! :) Looking forward to come back the next time I'm in CapeTown!

  • 5/5 Jason Chun Yu W. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing box, friendly members and coaches!!! Absolutely five star. Had a great workout this morning and met the lovely owners. If you are dropping in from out of town like me, look no further. Showers and facilities super well appointed, and a quality cuppa available too!

  • 5/5 Dion de B. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife and I are from Knysna and did 2 drop- ins in September .We thoroughly enjoyed both classes and were impressed by the professionalism and expertise shown by our coach Steven . He also made us feel at home . There in an overall good vibe at this box . We will definitely be returning on our next visit to Cape Town .

  • 5/5 Aurélie D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good CrossFit Box, coaches are friendly and welcoming, the box is well equipped, everything you expect in a Crossfit Affiliate. I was in Cape Town for 10 days and could have an unlimited membership for 2 weeks at a good price, really useful. I could joined also join for the open which was really cool! I recommend!

  • 5/5 Nienke van der D. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jin-Woo P. 1 year ago on Google
    My son and I come from Los Angeles and had the pleasure of visiting Cape Town for a few days during our recent South Africa trip. We were looking to keep up with our CrossFit workouts during our stay, so we decided to stop in at Motley Crew Crossfit. The atmosphere within the gym is great and Motley Crew has all the right equipment to get your Crossfit workout in. We will for sure come back when we are next time in Cape Town.

  • 5/5 Hendrik J. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing box. I’ve had the privilege to drop into a lot of different boxes around the world and this is was my fav experience so far. Hands down. It was the best coaching, programming and community. Incredible to have a home away from home in fitness.

  • 5/5 André B. 1 year ago on Google
    Dropped at Motley Crew CrossFit during my visit to Cape Town. Great facilities, equipment, and coaching! Not to mention a very welcoming and supportive community. Well worth visiting while in South Africa. Great work! Cheers.

  • 5/5 Aivis 1 year ago on Google
    Dropped in for a session in late December. Fantastic coaches, great facilities. Loved that there was a cafe as part of the facility. Would definitely sign up if I lived in CPT, and will drop in next time I visit.

    Had a perfect work out and a warm welcoming at the box when staying in Cape Town.

  • 5/5 Tom van B. 4 years ago on Google
    It was an absolute pleasure doing a drop-in at Motley Crew. Clean, spacious box with great equipment. Knowledgeable coaches with a very clear set-up of the WOD: warming-up, WOD and stretching. Next time I'm in CPT I'll definitely visit again - absolutely recommend them!

  • 5/5 Kevin B. 4 years ago on Google
    Dropped in twice during my Cape Town trip. Nice facility, great and friendly coaching staff and great programming also. Thanks.

  • 5/5 Daniel G. 3 years ago on Google
    Great team, great service, excellent facilities Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Spencer P. 3 years ago on Google
    Very friendly, had a great drop in session here 😁

  • 5/5 Carey P. 5 years ago on Google
    Motley Crew has 2 great sites in Cape Town and my friends and I enjoyed training at both of them. The coaches were incredibly welcoming as well as knowledgeable as it was nice to head back to the UK with some great tips. What was also nice is that after visiting one site, we were already known by the 2nd site and felt at home as soon as we walked in. The range of equipment was vast and of great standard and the environment and other members was more than you could ever ask of a CrossFit box. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Cape Town or living there already and wishing to take up the best sport in fitness!

  • 5/5 Maike R. 3 years ago on Google
    Easy nice Drop in. Thanks for having me

  • 5/5 Billy P. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a great group of people who really care about each other. My wife and I stopped in for a workout while on vacation and it was one of the highlights of the trip. Fun atmosphere and great energy. The way all CrossFit gyms should operate.

  • 5/5 Josua B. 4 years ago on Google
    Super efficient and easy booking process for day pass. Great coaches and friendly people. Will definitely drop in again when in Cape Town

  • 5/5 Jolien S. 4 years ago on Google
    I did a drop-in with my boyfriend at Motley Crew during our vacation in Cape Town. We participated in an event for the CrossFit Open 20.1. The event was well-organized and the overall atmosphere in the box was amazing. All members and coaches were so nice to us! We left the box wishing we could train here every day :-)

  • 5/5 Adalbert E. 4 years ago on Google
    Simply a stellar experience, run by a dedicated, friendly, knowledgable, and professional team who will do their utmost to work around your needs and requirements. Motley Crew manages to blend the best elements of CrossFit with a detailed knowledge of applied physiology, which—very importantly—means that you will not only have fun but you will make a sound investment in your health. Whether you are a pro athlete, a semi-professional couch potato like me, or a novice, there's a five star experience to be had in a vibrant space full of positive energy.

  • 5/5 Michel B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Cool box and very nice people! I train 2 weeks there .... (Original) Coole Box und sehr nette Leute! Ich trainiere 2 Wochen da....

  • 5/5 Kelly J. 4 years ago on Google
    Was in Cape Town for a couple of weeks and so bought an unlimited week pass. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I'd never done CrossFit before so was a bit unsure as to what to expect but the trainers spent a long time ensuring technique was right and giving a number of options for less advanced people!

  • 5/5 Richard T. 4 years ago on Google
    I was stopping in a local hotel and wanted to experience CrossFit In Cape Town ,I found Motley Crew via google and booked on a morning class . When the day arrived,Both coaches and those being coached were all very welcoming and helpful. The WOD was easily scaled to accommodate my current elbow injury and it was great to get get some fun exercise in whilst away on holiday ( the monotony of a hotel gym fills me with dread !). In short if you’re a crossfitter ( any level) and are lucky enough to be in CT go see the the Motley Crew you won’t be disappointed , and don’t forget to buy a T shirt ! Richard

  • 5/5 gordon b. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mohammad K. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing space and welcoming people, by the end of the first workout i felt like ive been going to the gym for a while. The coaches are amazing and welcoming and the programming was on point! Kept me in shape while i stayed in cape town and challenged me everytime i went. A neat space as well and thats always a plus to me.

  • 5/5 Audrey L. 4 years ago on Google
    Superb box with great coaches and friendly community :D We had so much fun (sweat+ laughter+ soreness) at Motley Crew Hudson. The wods were very well programmed. We will definitely go back when visiting Cape Town.

  • 5/5 D W. 4 years ago on Google
