Have been a member for a few months now and it's one of the best gyms I've ever been a part of. It truly is a team atmosphere.
I go to the Fort and have to say it is a fantastic place for Training. The professionalism, and knowledge from the coaches is so good. That the gains I have seen is down to their guidance. The atmosphere in classes is hard work and so friendly . I cannot recommend it enough. It’s like a second home.

WHAT IS ‘FUNDAMENTALS’?

Fundamentals classes are designed for beginners and teach the basic elements of CrossFit. Students learn the how and why of CrossFit movements. These classes are a prerequisite for most CrossFit gyms globally and are available in group and one-on-one formats.

I HAVE AN EXISTING INJURY, CAN I STILL TAKE PART?

Absolutely, we can modify and adjust exercises and workouts to ensure you continue to progress, even with an injury affecting certain areas.

WHAT BENEFITS CAN I EXPECT FROM TRAINING CROSSFIT?

Your dedication to training and nutrition will largely determine the results you see from a functional fitness CrossFit program. However, you can expect increased muscle tone, decreased body fat, and better-fitting clothes.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Factors such as your training history, schedule, and age all influence how often you should train. The best approach is to listen to your body. Feel good? Come and train. Sore or beat up? Take a rest day. Rest is just as important as training. Some effective approaches include training 3 days on, 1 day off, or 5 days on, 2 days off. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution – find what works for you!
