CrossFit Great Stour

Strength training changes far more than what you see in the mirror💪

While you’re focused on the reps, your body is adapting in ways you might never see.. stronger bones, more muscle, better joint support, improved cardiovascular and metabolic health, and a body that’s better equipped for everyday life.

And the benefits become even more important as we get older.

We’re not training just to lift heavier today.

We’re training so we can move well, stay strong, remain independent and keep doing the things we love for as long as possible.

Build strength now. Your future body will thank you…

12 years ago today, we opened our doors❤️

An empty space, some equipment and an idea of what we wanted CrossFit Great Stour to become.

12 years later, those same doors have welcomed hundreds of people through them. There have been thousands of WODs, countless PBs, friendships made, lives changed and a community built that we’re incredibly proud of.

The box might look a little different these days… but what makes it special has always been the people inside it.

To every coach, member and person who has been part of our story over the last 12 years, thank you.

From where we started, to where we are now.
12 years of CrossFit Great Stour.

After the anniversary WOD, it was time to swap the barbells for a picnic and celebrate the people who make this place what it is.

We brought our members together for our annual anniversary picnic, plenty of food, plenty of laughs and, of course, our annual awards ceremony 🏆

A chance to recognise some incredible achievements from the past year, but also to celebrate the whole community that has supported, encouraged and pushed each other along the way.

Because after 12 years, it’s never just been about the workouts.

It’s always been about the people

Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us — and to every member, past and present, who has been part of the last 12 years.

Here’s to the next 12🥂
