Who's next?

Huge congratulations to Matt on hitting the 500 WOD class milestone! 🎉

Matt has been with us for just over four years and is now a staple of the 6am morning crew 💪

After suffering an injury last year, Matt showed exactly what it takes to keep moving forward. Rather than letting the injury stop him, Matt trusted the coaches, scaled where needed and adapted workouts to keep training while he worked his way back. That consistency and attitude is something to be seriously proud of 👊

Continuing to turn up week after week, knowing you can’t always do the workout as written, takes a whole different level of mental strength, patience and determination.

And of course, earlier this year he stepped up as one of Open Team Captains — Sheriff Matt 🤠 so clearly 500 WODs have earned him some authority around here!

Here’s to the next 500, Matt! 🥳

CrossFit Solent strives to be a safe space for EVERYONE. Irrespective of age, race, ethnicity or nationality, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ability level or disability, neurotype, or religion.

To show our support for the LGBTQ+ community 🏳️‍🌈 we'll be celebrating Southampton Pride weekend with a dedicated Pride WOD on Saturday 29 August 🏳️‍🌈

Pride is a celebration, but it's also a reminder of why spaces like this matter — rooted in the fight for the right to simply be who you are, from Stonewall in 1969 to today.

It would be great to see as many of you as possible dressed up in colourful clothing that day 🌈 Come and sweat with pride!

🎉 A massive HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our Head Coach, Simone! 🎂🥳

From the entire coaching team and all of our amazing members, we hope you have an absolutely awesome day!

Thank you for everything you do for the gym, the coaches and our community. Your leadership and passion are a huge part of what makes Solent so special. ❤️💪

Now go and celebrate the only way we know how with a great WOD class and maybe a w**e or two!

Go get it, team! We're cheering you on every step of the way.

🎉 500 CLUB – IRENE! 🎉

Huge congratulations to Irene on hitting 500 classes! 🙌

We've loved watching Irene’s journey. She’s made loads of new friends along the way, grown in confidence and tackled things she never thought she’d be able to do - including that first box jump and her first pull-ups! 💪

She’s worked so hard on her Olympic lifting technique 🏋️‍♀️ and is always keen to learn and improve.

Irene is one of those members who is just a pleasure to have in the gym - friendly, really coachable, works hard without any complaints.

500 classes is a pretty impressive milestone, but it’s everything that’s happened along the way that makes it special.

Well done Irene! Here’s to the next 500! ❤️🙌
