Win a Whole Month of CrossFit!
Are you looking for a new fitness challenge?
Perhaps you have fallen off the wagon and want something fresh and motivating. Or maybe you already take your fitness seriously but feel ready to shake things up. The answer might be closer than you think at CrossFit Aldermaston.
Now in its 12th year,
CrossFit Aldermaston is proving that over a decade on, the sense of fun, community and motivation is stronger than ever. Owned and run by
Alex Hawes and
Helen Waters and supported by coaches Seth, Craig, Sian, Leigh, Ann-Marie, Jamie and Damien, the team have created a warm, positive and genuinely welcoming environment; offering a full programme of CrossFit and Hyrox classes, along with Open Gym sessions for anyone who prefers to train independently.
What people notice first and foremost is the friendly, encouraging atmosphere. Whether you are returning to fitness or stepping into a gym for the first time, the coaches are always ready with guidance, reassurance and expert advice. Many members say it feels more like being welcomed into a happy family than joining a gym. The Sunday morning class is a firm favourite, too - helped by the (almost obligatory) post-workout coffee meet-up at Aldermaston Tea Rooms or Starbucks!
CrossFit itself has a long and well-established history. Founded in California in 1995, it is now practised in thousands of affiliated CrossFit gyms around the world, with a thriving and supportive community here in the UK.
At its core, CrossFit is a strength and conditioning programme built around a constantly changing mix of high-intensity workouts, and no two classes are ever the same. This variety is ideal if you find repetitive routines dull or struggle to stay motivated with standard gym sessions. Workouts combine elements of interval training, weightlifting, gymnastics and aerobic exercise, centred around the WOD (Workout of the Day) aimed at building all-round fitness rather than a focus on just one discipline. A wide range of equipment is used, including barbells, kettlebells, plyo boxes, rings, mats and rowers and air cycles.
Each class lasts around an hour and includes a warm-up, a skill or strength segment, the high intensity WOD and a cool down. The coaches scale the load and intensity for every individual, which means the programme suits all ages and abilities - you simply work at your own level under expert guidance.
CrossFit Aldermaston are welcoming newcomers in January with a great offer that lets you try the full experience before you join with a free taster session.
If you decide to join them, memberships are great value, giving you unlimited access for less than the price of a daily coffee. If you are ready to start the year feeling stronger, fitter and supported every step of the way, this friendly community could be the perfect place to begin your journey. To find out more, contact
