Ricardo NetoRicardo has been super consistent recently, his lifting is looking great, and he's a top guy. Fun fact: Ricardo is a wrestler, and his ring names, The Portuguese Problem and The Angolan Avenger, come from his dual heritage. Great job, Ricardo!

Matt CPossibly one of the nicest people you'll meet at the gym. Friendly, coachable and consistent, and part of our CrossFit Kids coaching team.
Competitions
Twice a year we run our own competition, one in summer and one in winter. They're a great excuse to push yourself and cheer each other on. When the dates are released, sign up on BoxMate.
Every year, CrossFit athletes around the world take on the same workouts over a few weeks in late February and March. Sign up at games.crossfit.com, then join us at the gym for Friday Night Lights, where we run each week's Open workout together. You don't need to be an expert: there are scaled versions, and beginners absolutely take part.

I’ve lost over 30kg since starting at CrossFit Fort Ashton, but what I’ve gained means even more — an amazing community and a whole new circle of lifelong friends.
★★★★★
I find this kind of sport great. Though you work in a group, you definitely work on your own strength with no pier pressure but with their support and an encouraging and knowledgeable coach. It’s a great atmosphere where we are.
★★★★★
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.
Fort Ashton Runners
Every Sunday at 9am · All abilities · Non-members welcome
The club is led by Coach Sara, who holds a CrossFit Running certification and co-founded it with gym member Paul Richards, an England Athletics certified running coach.
We meet every Sunday at 9am inside CrossFit Fort Ashton. From here we introduce the day's focus, do a dynamic warm-up together, and then jog at a warm-up pace to our starting location.
Every session is carefully planned around timed intervals with built-in rest to improve speed and endurance, so runners of any ability can join in. We run up-and-back repeats, or round a short loop, so nobody is ever left behind.
From beginners to experienced runners, everyone is welcome, including non-members. So bring a friend, or come and make some!
