Review of Reebok Crossfit Glevum

What can I say about RCFG ? A really special place, with brilliant coaches and an amazing community of like minded people. I was really wary of CrossFit before I tried it, assuming you had to be some kind of super fit machine but very quickly it was clear that anyone can get involved.

I joined in June 2018, having tried pretty much everything else and was at the end of my tether. I struggled to get motivated to keep attending soulless gyms or lame circuit sessions and was close to accepting that at 40 years old, I'd have to live out my days frustrated and overweight.

Glevum changed everything. I found a routine that works for me, training religiously 3 times a week, every week including the hugely enjoyable Saturday morning sessions. Not only have I lost weight (over 2 and a half stone in 10 months) but I've got stronger, fitter and more flexible which helps with everyday life - especially with 2 young kids.

Other than the physical results, the main reason I keep coming back is the people. The coaches are welcoming and willing to scale exercises to suit your strength or skill level so you never feel out of your depth. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and I've found myself making sure I'm early for class so I can have a chat with the guys finishing the preceding session. That support and encouragement is what I was missing and having found it in abundance at RCFG, I'm in the best shape of my adult life. Thanks guys, you're the best.
