Last week, I was in bournemouth for a long weekend and I attended Westover for two drop-ins. This had the best online presence and that's the only real thing I had to go off; this is more of a comment on other Boxes in Bournemouth. As someone who is 4 months into Crossfit/fitness and this being my third time trying a different Crossfit venue, I had that initial anxiety of going to a new box. The set up at Westover Crossfit was perfect to resolve this case of 'drop-in jitters'. By being located at West Hants club and being greeted by a receptionist, I appreciated a clear professional, welcoming

The team is amazing and always a nice atmosphere. Adrian is really friendly and pushes you to work harder when he should and lets you scale down when necessary. The WODs are fairly demanding but always with options to scale down. Only recommendation would be to include more gymnastic exercises but that's only personal preference
