CrossFit
Astraea

was really nervous about joining CrossFit as I wasn’t sure it would be for me, but from my first session at Astraea, I was hooked. 

The coaches are so welcoming, encouraging and easily adapt movements to your fitness/skill level (which I was really nervous about to begin with). 

The sessions challenge me in new ways but are also incredibly fun - Astraea have restored my love for fitness again! In two months, my physical and mental fitness have improved so much already - I couldn’t recommend Astraea enough!

The best gym! I had wanted to try CrossFit for a couple of years but always found the thought of it quite intimidating. When I joined Astraea everyone was so welcoming and friendly.

 I had barely picked up a barbell before I joined and Andy and all of the coaches were super patient and helpful. I have now been at Astraea for nearly 2 years and have met some great friends along the way. I have never been to a gym with such a great community vibe before. Can’t recommend Astraea enough- if you want to have fun but also workout and learn some new skills, Astraea is the gym for you.

I had initial concerns about joining a CrossFit/class-based gym, as I've never felt entirely at ease in such environments.

 However, my experience has been incredibly positive, thanks to the welcoming and supportive nature of both the coaches and fellow members. 

Andrew and Cat, they both have been amazing. They ensure that I maintain proper form and modify workouts to suit my individual needs. I am genuinely thrilled with my CrossFit experience and wholeheartedly recommend this place

I’ve been incredibly lucky to have had the coaches at Astraea help me return to fitness and CrossFit after a break and also while recovering from an injury. 

They kept me going when I really didn’t think I would be able to. The environment they create is welcoming, safe and inclusive for everyone. Positive vibes all around!!

Great gym for anyone of any fitness level. CrossFit always seemed daunting for me but Astraea coaches always encourage me to achieve my goals. Even if that goal is just turning up and having a laugh. Coaches are very knowledgeable and my form has come on leaps and bounds since I started. One of the best aspects of this gym is the members. All the members are so friendly and want everyone to do well. I regularly attend the 7am class where I see the usual faces and get a good sweat on. It’s the best way to start my day!

I’ve been going to Astraea for just over two years now after trying a different CrossFit gym which I found a bit cliquey. The knowledge and care the coaches have for each and every person is second to none! Not to mention the banter is great and my abs equally hurt from laughing ?

I cannot recommend CrossFit Astraea highly enough! I have been so impressed by the community at the gym and everyone has been so welcoming. 

This has been my first time trying CrossFit and coaching staff and everyone in the sessions are so friendly and helpful in teaching me all the new movements. Andy has created a special place where you feel part of the group instantly.

Quite simply the best gym in the world! Andy and the other coaches have created an incredible place to train. I joined last year and it has had such a positive impact on my life.

At Astraea the CrossFit coaching is amazing. I’m always developing and learning new things, totally confident that the coaches are professional and safe. The weekly yoga class is excellent too.

Plus it’s just an incredible, motivating, supportive environment to be in??

Best CrossFit gym I’ve ever been to! Started here feeling very apprehensive, but Andy and the team have been so supportive and patient throughout. The community is fab and the workouts are really varied. 

You're always able to try something new, learn new skills through excellent coaching and also scale where you need to without any hassle. I recommend this CrossFit gym for total newbies and experienced cross fitters

I would recommend CrossFit Astrea to anyone and everyone ten times over. Andy has created the most fantastic community that was a pleasure to be a part of. 

The sessions are made friendly for all different abilities. Starting out I hadn’t done much CrossFit, all the coaches were so patient and so helpful explaining the moves to me. After our travels we will most definitely be returning!

Ive been a part of the Astraea family for nearly a full year. Through that year ive made so many friends.

I look at myself 20kg lighter than I was in December of last year, thats just physically, emotionally its so much more as theres always been an ear available to talk to.

I have been a member of so many different gyms over the years and never been happier than I am now. I've never felt comfortable enough to attend a gym night out, never mind share these photos. Our captain convinced me it was the right thing to do on both counts.

You could offer me a free membership to any gym and i would still choose to pay for this gym as the community is one like ive never experienced and thats from the members to the coaches.

I guess what i am trying to say I am grateful to be a part of something special.
 

"CrossFit Astraea has been a game-changer for me. Andrew and the team's support and expert coaching have helped me achieve results I never thought possible. The community is incredibly motivating, and I've gained strength, confidence, and lasting friendships here. I'm grateful for my journey with CrossFit Astraea!"

At first I was a bit sceptical about joining a CrossFit gym, thinking it would be cliquey and I wouldn't manage or enjoy the classes - this was not the case at all at Astraea! There is such a community feel with a welcoming and friendly atmosphere and the members are all so supportive! 

There is a wide range of classes available and the coaches are great, ensuring they cater to a range of abilities as well as modifying for any injuries. I'm so glad I joined and would highly recommend!

I’ve trained at CrossFit Astraea since it opened and cannot recommend the gym highly enough. 

I’m currently training with an Achilles injury and the coaches have been amazing at scaling and modifying all workouts so I can take part as I normally would. 

Andy and the team are playing a hugely positive role in both my physical and mental health rehab through all this. If you feel unsure about getting into weight training or think CrossFit isn’t for you then this is the gym and the community to change your mind.

CrossFit Astraea is a really supportive and friendly environment. The atmosphere at classes is great. The coaches are very knowledgeable, really encouraging and are always helping you to improve.

It has been really nice getting to know fellow members and coaches, and the classes are really enjoyable and varied. Since joining CrossFit Astraea, I have improved physically (strength, flexibility, injury avoidance) which definitely wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t joined.

I would definitely recommend joining CrossFit Astraea!

I was very worried about joining a CrossFit/Class based gym as I never really feel comfortable in this sort of environment. I have found the coaches and members to be very welcoming and supportive making me feel comfortable from the start. I would strongly recommend this gym to anyone at any level :)

Fantastic gym and community. :) I’ve been doing CrossFit almost 6 years and training at Astraea since 2020 and it’s like a second home and family, particularly as I work from home! 

The programming is excellent to help members progress and achieve their goals, whether that’s competing, getting fitter or just having a good sweat. Andy and his team genuinely care about members and are able to advise, encourage and also enjoy some cheeky banter.
