    Great coaches and atmosphere. Well thought out programming.

  • Katharina Lorenz

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Absolutely love this place! CrossFit 1864 has an amazing community and all the coaches are very skilled and push you to the limit. I never had a barbell in my hands before I joined, so I was pretty nervous for my first sessions, but we always go through every technical step and everyone around is motivating and cheering each other on. Couldn’t recommend CrossFit 1864 more!

  • Felipe Palmeira

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Best gym in London!
    Obviously we are talking about CrossFit and without these amazing coaches I would never have progressions as I am having now.
    This box is very people’s orientated and the sense of community is one of the best ones.

  • Stefano Gucciardi

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    CrossFit 1864 is home outside home, it’s family. The strength of this place is the community. The coaches are the best you can get, very knowledgeable and the people there are just amazing. Cannot recommend enough.

  • Josh King

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Fantastic Gym! Really made [me] welcome dropping in while moving back to London! Thanks

  • Miss Ballooniverse

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    As a lifelong couch potato I was very intimidated by the idea of CrossFit, but 1864 offered a warm welcome. All the coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and seem to forensically know what my body is capable of. Now nearly a year in, I’m loving my CrossFit journey, and wholeheartedly recommend CrossFit 1864.

  • Alesha White

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    There is absolutely nothing not to love about this place. I started CF back in November and from the beginning the coaching team and the members made me feel welcome. I feel empowered by all the coaching staff and whenever I need to scale a workout (down), all exercises are run through thoroughly with an emphasis on good form.
    If I could 5+ star this lovely little community, I would.

  • Ana Costa

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    2 years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life when I joined CrossFit 1864. I've made lovely friends and I finally have a stimulus to exercise (so much wasted money on gym memberships in the past). At CrossFit 1864, I feel looked after. The coaches are interested in my development and well-being.
    Easy access via public transport. Good facilities. Great coaches. Amazing community.

  • Stuart Braines

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Been a regular at this place for 17 months & I wouldn't wanna train anywhere else. All of the coaches are super knowledgeable and friendly, & there's a great community at the box.

  • Courtney Wood

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Best Gym in London. Since joining I’ve lost body fat and made serious muscle gains. Don’t be scared by the CrossFit name, this place is for everyone no matter your size or level of fitness. Kike and his wonderful team make all welcome and deliver a well-planned workout suitable to your level. Try it, you won’t be disappointed by the results!

  • Varun Lalwani

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Coach Kike's support to CF1864 community during this lockdown has been tremendous. Almost one year down but him and all coaches running the WOD over Zoom has been such a great help to maintain mental and physical health. This review was to highlight how just showing up to the class from comfort of home has developed my shoulder strength. I never felt so strong and stable on my handstand holds forget performing so many wall walks in the preparation for Open 21.1. And yes 3 years back before I joined 1864 I could not even walk straight on my feet due to severe back pain from long sitting hours on that silly desk job which is still there but I can handle that now so much better.

  • Livio De Angelis

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Joining this place has probably been one of the best decisions of my life. The coaches are extremely professional and motivating, your level of fitness or preparation really doesn't matter.

    At CrossFit 1864 the coaches really care about both your physical and mental health. This was even more true during the pandemic, the support, energy, passion and sense of community they provided was invaluable in this difficult time. This place makes you feel good!

    CrossFit 1864 is one of the best CrossFit gyms I’ve been to. Excellent programming, coaching, and community. Coach Kike is the best! No matter which level of fitness you’re in, he’s able to provide excellent feedback, demonstrate and articulate the instructions effectively
