Positive Atmosphere. High quality coaching combined with challenging workouts. I have a disability and all movements can be scaled to my needs without any fuss and without any attention drawing to it. Lots to learn and whatever fitness level you are at you are bound to improve. Highly recommended!

Ive been coming to CrossFit Pendle for nearly five years now, and its honestly been the best decision I ever made, in regards to my fitness journey! I love the atmosphere, the varied workouts, the chance to learn new skills, and the little extended family Ive made there (on top of my three siblings who I roped into joining!)
Its my go to place to shake off a bad day, ease any worries or stress and just have fun in a safe, non-judgemental environment!

Would Highly recommend Crossfit Pendle, Mike, the coaches and the atmosphere is second to none and makes going to the gym stress free and definitely more enjoyable than a conventional gym! All the workouts are programmed for you each day, which was extremely helpful during lockdown, the whole team ensured all the members kept fit, motivated and connected via daily zoom workouts. All the coaches are highly skilled and can scale/change any movement down to your ability so youre always in safe hands whatever the workout is. I wouldnt ever go anywhere else to workout

When I joined CrossFit Pendle, I was so nervous but from the moment I walked through the door I was made to feel at ease. The coaches are brilliant and all so helpful. The way the coaches help you when needed is second to none. If youre insecure just ask and youll get an answer and the help you need. Ive been a member of many gyms but always seemed to have a lack of interest after a while. Not with CrossFit Pendle I feel like its the place I should have always been.
