🚨 BIG NEWS AT CROSSFIT WALTHAMSTOW 🚨

We’re incredibly excited to announce that from September, Ray Gabriel will be taking over the day-to-day management of CrossFit Walthamstow.

After five years with us, there couldn’t be anyone better suited to lead the gym into its next chapter. Ray has played a huge role in building the community you know today; whether it’s coaching classes, supporting members through their fitness journeys, or bringing energy and positivity to every session.

He understands what makes CrossFit Walthamstow special because he’s helped create it. His passion for coaching, commitment to our members, and dedication to the community make this a really exciting step for everyone.

The guys in Hackney Wick will miss him but with Ray leading the day-to-day operations at Walthamstow, we’re in a fantastic position to continue growing, improving, and giving our members the best possible experience.

Please join us in congratulating Ray on this well-deserved opportunity. We can’t wait for you to see what’s ahead for CrossFit Walthamstow. 💙

After a week of The Open and more wall balls than we can count… it was NICE to see a barbell again today. 😅🏋️‍♂️
Turns out we really do love lifting heavy things

That’s a wrap on 2025. 🏁🔥
One last workout. One last chance to leave it all on the floor.

This year was built on early mornings, hard sessions, PRs, setbacks, comebacks, and a whole lot of grit. 💪
We’re proud of every rep, every effort, and every member who showed up and did the work.

Thank you for being part of this community — the energy, the support, and the relentless drive is what makes this place special. 🏋️‍♂️❤️

Now we reset, refocus, and get ready to smash even bigger goals in 2026. 🚀
New targets. New standards. Same work ethic.

Happy New Year, team. Let’s go. 🎉🥂

Last Thursday felt different the moment the first bar hit the floor.

We rolled into the RAD Challenge knowing it was going to be heavy — and every class leaned into it. No shortcuts, no backing off. Just people surprising themselves, loading more weight than they thought they could, and getting after it together.

Watching members across all classes step up and own heavy lifts was a reminder of why we do this. Progress isn’t always flashy — sometimes it’s just showing up and choosing to work hard.

Huge respect to everyone who took it on. That’s how strength is built. 🏋️‍♂️🔥👏💥

consistency = progress

October - Member of the Month

⭐️

Your consistency with Olympic lifting has really stood out, and the progress you’ve made lately has been amazing to see. The coaches have noticed how much you’ve refined your lifts and how supportive you are with everyone around you - it’s exactly what we love to see in our community at CF Walthamstow 💪 We’ve also noticed how you’ve fully stepped into comp mode this year which has been super inspiring!

🔸Kay, tell us your ideal workout (favourite movements, AMRAP or for time, whatever you love most!)

🔹K: Oly takes top spot. Nothing does it quite like throwing weights with a strong technical focus, though mostly egging everyone else on. We have some class lifters.

🔸Any moment you want to highlight from the past year?

🔹K: Highlight definitely goes to the crew who went out for this year. You never forget your first comp, better yet with a beer in hand and getting told off.

🔸What are you working on right now / any goals you’ve set yourself for the rest of the year?

🔹K: Cardio game has got to be the weakest of anyone in the gym 🤣 See you at the 2026 Hackney Half start line team! 🏃

We love to hear it!! We can’t wait to see you continue on your fitness/crossfit journey. Keep bringing those immaculate vibes to the gym! 🔥
