I started with CrossFit muscle yard a few weeks back and loving it so far. Really friendly helpful staff/coaches that help you through all the movements and lifts if you are just beginning.

Been going to muscle yard for the pass two weeks, had majority of the classes i’ve attended taught by Rob. been into fitness nearly two years now and wanted to find a community within fitness also somewhere to push me to my fullest. the teams down at muscle yard have put together a great fitness hub for all capabilities and I’m great full to be a part of it.

Training is brutal, just how I like it. Classes each day are structured, varied with techniques well broken down suited to match all abilities. Great coaches and crowd. Definitely recommend CrossFit Muscle Yard

Amazing workouts, amazing atmosphere, wish I found it sooner! Highly recommended

Great place to be, very encouraging staff and clients and definitely designed to make you fitter! Really enjoying attending and look forward to my personal progress in the coming months.

I have been allergic to exercise for pretty much my whole life, but decided I needed to try and get into something to not only help myself physically, but also mentally!

Crossfit muscle yard, has been welcoming and encouraging since I started 3 weeks ago. Being completely new to CrossFit and not having exercised in years, the community at muscle yard are so supportive.

Highly recommend! Lovely people, excellent workout, and great fun!

Couldn’t recommend cross fit enough I was so anxious and had zero confidence going into a gym I had never been to before but rob and the rest of the team made me feel so welcome I absolutely love it and cannot wait to continue building up my confidence and getting fitter 💪🏻 Xx

Very friendly and welcoming environment, I love how varied the workouts are and all the coaches are very supportive and accommodating

Brilliant atmosphere, fantastic coaches, everyone so supportive, best gym in Rayleigh!!

I joined CFMY almost a year ago now and i continue to be amazed at the variety and variation of workouts, its entertaining and engaging. There is something for all skill/fitness levels. The coaches are friendly and knowledgable and the members are a fantastic group of people to which i am proud to be a part of 😁

I had completely lost all motivation before joining CrossFit muscle yard. The classes are great as not only are you pushed to your own individual limit, they are challenging and fun too. Learning new movements and exercises has been great for me mentally and physically. A great place if your looking for some new found motivation for your fitness goals.

Been a member at crossfit muscleyard for 3 years now, this really is a special place to workout, the facilities and equipment here are immaculate, Rob and he's coaching team are excellent and extremely helpful, the members here are great too, so inviting, polite and encouraging. Looking for class based training in Rayleigh, you won't find better than this.

I've been coming here for 6 months(ish) and it's a game changer. Before joining, I struggled to keep motivated for more than 3 months at a time at a regular gym. Signed up to this place and I can't stay away. The coaches, members and community are next-level. It's weirdly addictive, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Really enjoying our time at CrossFit muscle yard! Getting strong and fit! The coaches are great and the equipment is top notch

Rob and his team are awesome, super friendly and the whole box is incredibly welcoming. Everyone's catered for, come along, don't be shy 😁

Have been a member for a couple of weeks; have been welcomed, coached and guided thoroughly through sessions by experienced instructors. Have really enjoyed so far and already seeing results. A friendly, encouraging gym. Totally recommend.

Really good gym great community best gym in Rayleigh 5*

Great gym with great coaches, if you want to get fit then this is the best place to go.

This gym in Rayleigh, is LOVELY!!!!!!!!

Everyone is so welcoming and supportive and the trainers help you achieve more than you ever would on your own. Love it here!

I’m so happy I joined CrossFit Muscle Yard 2 months ago. I genuinely look forward to turning up and training, which I never thought could happen! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and I would recommend it to anyone. It doesn’t matter what stage of fitness you are at, the classes are for everyone. I wish I had joined sooner!

I started my CrossFit journey 11 months ago, and my only regret is not starting it sooner! In that time I’ve learnt new skills including: rope climbs, kipping pull ups, double unders, various Olympic lifts, along with improving core strength and technique in deadlifts, squats, bench to name just a few… I love how every session is different and each workout can be scaled based on your ability, all...

An absolute cracking box/gym. I assumed I had to have a certain level of fitness before I could join. How wrong was I. There are all levels here and everyone is welcomed and encouraged to train to the best of their abilities. All classes are taught by friendly and approachable coaches. Give it a go, it'll be the best thing you'll do to start your crossfit journey

Without doubt the best place I’ve ever trained!! So welcoming with varied training plans daily. Easily get 10 stars if there was an option!!

Gets you fit and focused. all levels welcome and coaches ensure you stay motivated and technically move well.

Fantastic facility, with a lovely team spirit.

Great gym friendly people great coaches would thoroughly recommend

I joined CFMY after being at commercial gyms for years. Best decision I’ve ever made. If you enjoy pushing yourself and being pushed to be stronger, faster and just generally fitter; then this is the place for you. The coaches are amazing and have guided me through injuries, pregnancy and post parting training. It’s not just a gym but a team! Best gym in Rayleigh!

CrossFit muscle yard is a amazing place to train it’s definitely the best gym in Rayleigh. The coaches are so encouraging to everyone what ever your fitness level is. I love spending the best hour of the day at CrossFit muscle yard.

Really enjoyed the session Well worth joining. Everyone is friendly and there to help

Great place, great staff and welcoming members. Really pushing me to reach my fitness goals.

Friendliest gym, great coaches… a gym for everyone!

There are many reason I like CrossFit Muscle Yard, the biggest one for me is how versatile the workouts are. Everyone can find something they good at, while challenging yourself to grow in other areas as well. I LOVE those burnouts at the end. The only thing I regret is not starting sooner!

Have been a member for over 3yrs now and never looked back. CrossFit teaches you so many different disciplines and puts you within an amazing community of people who are all striving for the same results. Half the battle is making it to the gym but once you start CrossFit you won’t want to leave!!

I have been going to CFMY for just over 6 months and I love it! My husband has been going for 5 years and I didn’t think that I would be able to do the same workouts as him but everything can be scaled and I have made lots of progress already! It has a friendly, fun atmosphere and is a great place to train.

After years of typical gym sessions (cardio class, weights class and the sprinkle of self motivated weight lifting) decided to try out cross fit with an open mind.

Initial fundamental session was great with Coach Gemma, setting my mind at ease with expectations and what the sessions were about. CFMY is a great place to train, the coaches and members are so supportive and everyone is your official cheerleader! Every sessions is like a group PT session, lots of laughter, enthusiasm and encouragement. That is not to say its easy! I have cried after some sessions, but I return stronger and ready for the next challenge. I would recommend this to everyone! Less

One of the loveliest box I’ve been to! It was always immaculate, everyone was very supportive and the coaches were attentive and can help scale the workout around your injuries. 100% recommend to anyone. Keep it up, Rob and team!

Large and well equipped CF box, with experienced and friendly coaches, the atmosphere and community is very nice, everyone is helping and motivating each other, the best box I have ever used, wouldn’t change it, highly recommended for athletes with any level of fitness

The gym is great, loads of equipment, clean, sessions are challenging and varied, not too many people in a class and the coaches are super helpful. Above everything else everyone is really friendly and genuinely cheer each other on.

I have been a member of CFMY for 6 months now. I joined as wanted to get fitter, stronger and also take me away from working all the time. I now keep going because the training is fantastic, the community spirit is amazing and I am seeing real results in fitness, strength and mindset. Highly recommend CFMY, Rob and the training team are brilliant!

CrossFit Muscle Yard is fantastic place to train. Everyone is very friendly and encouraging and all the trainers are very knowledgable and are great at perfecting your technique whatever your level! I would highly recommend!

Great bunch of people and really enjoyable workouts. feel so much stronger even after only 3 months and has really helped with an ongoing knee injury. highly recommend.

Rob and the team were great! Very welcoming as a newbie in the gym! Also great people who go there to train! Highly recommended

As a member who has since joining had had various obstacles to climb ( not gym ones) the coaches have been so encouraging and helpful with getting me back to the gym each time. Really lovely community :)

This is an excellent place to train! Brilliant coaches and detailed programming. All capabilities catered for

The best part about CrossFit is the coaching — you can come in with no plan, no idea what you’re doing, and they will teach you. It’s almost one year since I nervously signed up to CFMY. Previously I’d worked out at Gyms, did lots of running and I continue to play Netball 2 to 3 times a week but nothing has pushed me like CrossFit does.

CrossFit Muscle Yard has helped me reach a whole new level of fitness I didn't think was possible. It's an incredible environment that is being run by the best people in the business. I look forward to going every time and cannot thank them enough for helping me reach my goals.

I’ve attended many gyms and fitness classes but nothing seemed to alleviate back problems until I joined CFMY. 2yrs later, my back is a lot stronger and mobile and continuing to improve. My whole body is progressively getting stronger, fitter and mobile which is what I would like as I age. The coaches are very dedicated, knowledgeable and encouraging. I didn’t need to be fit to join. The programmes are tailored and scaled to individual’s ability. I wish CFMY had existed many years ago, when I first had back problems. Less

My 5th session and enjoying every class so far! Everyone is friendly and supportive/encouraging. The atmosphere is always lively and it's definitely a healthy training environment - not intimidating at all! I really like that beginners and advanced CrossFitters can train together. It's amazing to see people in their 50s/60s do more sets than I do (beginner here)! The coaches are well-trained and will demonstrate all the workouts before we start. They are able to provide alternate ways to do particular workout (e.g. overhead dumbbell press/pike pushups instead of handstand pushups) to suit each person's ability. They are constantly monitoring our form throughout the session. Making sure we are focusing on quality rather than just quantity. We are also provided with an app to book classes, key-in our results and progress. The emails we get are also helpful (healthy recipes, explanations of workouts etc) If you are looking for a place to start and/or increase your fitness, I would recommend giving this a go :) Less

Thoroughly enjoying CrossFit Muscle Yard! Rob was very supportive from day one when I had been struggling mentally and physically and it is a great community to be involved in. I look forward to every session I join and learning new techniques, all demonstrated by one of the coaches who will support you along the way!!

Rob is just as welcoming and is an incredible coach too. It’s been two weeks since I joined and I am loving it so much.

Incredibly friendly place to train. Great community and tough but achievable workouts

Crossfit Muscleyard is not just an other gym / box, here you don’t just have a membership but you are part of the team. We have an amazing community where everyone is a friend, we laugh together and cheer eachother on. The workouts can be scaled to match any fitness level and you always leave the gym buzzing …The coaches are supportive, full of knowledge and always there to answer any question.

Be prepared to work hard in a friendly and fun environment, with some knowledgeable coaches prepared to help everyone. Be careful it's addictive.

Awesome place to train, no egos and great laugh everytime you step through the front door!

Friendly Atmosphere and a workout that is specific to you and your goals!

Muscle Yard has great energy, staff, and feel. Box is clean, full of amazing people and friendly atmosphere. Keep up the good work!

Rob and the CFMY Team are awesome and makes going to the box an absolute dream. Excited to see my progression this year and onwards!

Just started at CrossFit Muscle Yard last week as a complete newbie to CrossFit - Great atmosphere, awesome facilities and everyone couldn’t have been more welcoming 😁

Super friendly gym with a real sense of community. The coaches are all wonderful and for the first time, I enjoy working out regularly and hitting new goals. 110% recommend!

This is an awesome place to work out at. Like a big family, where people motivate each other and there is great camaraderie.

a friendly atmosphere and everyone is so welcoming, the coaching is brilliant and all the programmes can be scaled to suit each individual. can highly recommend

Back in Dec 2019 I finally plucked up the courage to walk through the door of CFMY on my own….. I can 100% say changing gyms was the best decision ever. I’ve not looked back since and have made some fantastic friends along the way. 😊

After deliberating joining CrossFit for a couple of months I am SO glad I made the jump. CFMY gave me such a warm welcome, every single member is so supportive and encouraging making it such a motivating place to train as well as having super experienced and friendly coaches pushing you!

Amazing place to train! Would never go back to a normal gym! Coaches are fantastic and look after each member. They support you through your workout if you have an injury or need to scale the workout. Every member is supportive. Never been so fit!

A great place to have fun, build a community, work out, make new friends and challenge yourself to be the best version of yourself All the trainers are approachable and engaging. making you feel at ease, they're on hand for support and guidance. A great place, a great atmosphere and a great support system

The best gym iv ever been to! Iv been coming to CMY for 4-5 months and I absolutely love it! was so scared at first incase I wouldn’t of been able to anything but all the workouts are scaled to you and your fitness levels so your able to improve each time! Also everyone is really friendly and supportive and the coaches are amazing too. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Rob, Gemma and the team have not only built a great community but one of the best equipped gyms I have been to. The workouts are tailored to each persons ability with all members keen to support and encourage each other. A truly unique gym.

Great gym with amazing coaches. All session have a different variety and great for motivation workouts.

Love this gym… the coaches, the workouts, the people, the community! A place that is always pushing you to give that little more and therefore achieving things you didn’t think you could.. and that gives me a great buzz. The atmosphere is buzzing (even at 6 am classes) and everyone is routing and cheering each other on. Always learning here and always striving.. great gym!

As a new joiner I can honestly say it’s been one of the toughest but most fun and rewarding introductions I’ve had to any fitness/sport in recent years. Quality gym and brilliant coaches and members. Absolutely loving it.

I cannot recommend CrossFit Muscle Yard enough.! Having zero understanding of CrossFit and not really being a gym goer, I didn’t know really what to expect. However, I done one of the fundamentals sessions to get a taste of it. I’ll be totally honest, I loved every second of it and signed up straight after. The coaches at CFMY are extremely welcoming and are very adaptable to their style. For me not knowing how to lift weights properly, they all take time to ensure your form in correct. I’ve had PT’s over the years and I can defiantly learnt far more in the two hours than I did with any PT I’ve had - this includes the coaching you get in the daily classes. I cannot stress enough PLEASE DO NOT BE PUT OFF IF YOU DO NOT OR HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THE GYM. For every exercise there are multiple different options that will suit you, this includes minor injuries/aches and pains I’ve learnt that you are always competing against yourself in the box, but you have many people round you to push you on through the workout. I’ve now been a member for 12 months and have honestly seen a huge change into my mindset, body shape and all round fitness levels. Get involved Less

Fantastic place and environment to increase fitness levels and learn many different athletic disciplines. Training in very supportive groups with wonderful coaches leaves you wanting more with every session completed, even though you might be buggered.

All of the coaches are not just super knowledgeable in their field but as well as all the other members have become life long friends. My wife calls crossfit a cult, but its not, its a second family. Without CFMY there is no way I would get out of bed at 5am (ok 5:30am most days) to go and work out at 6am. There's no other place where you will be laughing and having fun whilst also training, learning and getting fit. If you are thinking of joining and reading reviews for reassurance then don't think twice. This is by far the best place to come and get fit not only in Essex but the whole world. Less

Great gym if you are looking for a workout with a difference. It's a real community spirit where you get to know each other and celebrate each others success. Everything is tracked so you can see you continued improvement. Coaches are brilliant and can tailor each workout to you if you have any problem areas or injuries.

I went to one of the handstand pushup masterclasses and learnt so much! If I hadn't moved to Australia I would have signed up as a full time member as their classes are so informative and everyone was super friendly and welcoming!

Although I'm not a full member yet! I attended the muscle yards fundamentals foundation course on a Saturday and it left me very impressed. Saturdays session was really good and super informative.

Found the lifting instruction awesome and noted that this is aimed at every level from beginner to advanced. Its a great gym facility, which is friendly, fully coached and ego free. I applaud Rob and the team of coaches. I'm my opinion, It's extremely difficult to achieve this level of support and instruction in a gym in today's age. For those of you asking why I'm not a full member yet. I'm involved in martial arts and other sports activities currently its purely a time constraint on my part. Happy Training. Less

CFMY is a great place to work out and is suitable for everyone, including beginners like me. Everyone is welcoming and friendly, which creates a great place to come and workout in. The coaches are brilliant and they help support you, as you grow into learning new ways of exercising and improving your health and fitness. I would recommend this box to everyone who is looking for something new.

Friendly, welcoming environment, where every day is a school day. There’s always something new to learn or a skill to improve on. Knowledgeable coaches who always make time for each and every member. No fitness minimum is required just a willingness to do your best! 💪🏻

Amazing box with loads of equipment, the best part is the fun community, each class is loads of fun! And I always feel like I've worked hard. Both my mum and I go, despite having different abilities and injuries :)

One of the best decisions I’ve made!! The coach’s are amazing, knowledgeable, supportive and so friendly! The members are really lovely, and all cheer you on! Loviest group of people I’ve met! Certainly a special community here, where I always feel welcomed! I trained at many gyms, but this exceeds them all!

Certainly a special community here, where I always feel welcomed! I trained at many gyms, but this exceeds them all! I’m in my mid 40’s and watched CrossFit games thinking they were all crazy and super fit, which initially stopped me joining. Then I decided to give it a try, I had nothing lose. I can honestly say, I’m actually able to do more than I expected, the rest I’m improving on all the time!! Less

Brilliant CrossFit box! The coaches are so knowledgeable and encouraging, they really know how to push you, while keeping your practice safe. They’re also lovely people! Would highly recommend!

I have been the husband of a CrossFitter for many years and always liked the sense of community it brought especially as we travel around and this meant she could go to different boxes and get a great welcome and have friends instantly as they share a common goal of functional fitness , I finally took the plunge last year and absolutely love it , great combination of workouts and not nearly as intimidating as I thought it would be training with athletes , everything can be scaled to your ability including injuries and fitness level and you track your progress , joining made me want to try harder on my fitness and make some lifestyle changes but by no means are these imposed , you be you and have fun and move around if that’s your own goal , i have visited a few different boxes and Muscle Yard is fantastic , great bunch of athletes and coaches and I would suggest anyone come and join , you won’t be disappointed Less

The best gym FACT! made some great friends!!!

The best place I have ever worked out and with the best community you could ask for. The coaches push you to become the best you can be. #crossfitmuscleyardforlife

Love CrossFit Muscle Yard, great coaches, great training and one big happy CrossFit family!!

Five stars!! As someone new to CrossFit I was quite apprehensive but Rob and his team have been great . Super friendly,knowledgeable and quickly responding to my emails . Would 100% recommend to anyone thinking about starting CrossFit and there a bit unsure

Great facilities, fantastic coaching and awesome team atmosphere!!!

Started training with Rob back in June last year, I am completely new to crossfit/type of exercise. Had no knowledge of techniques for lifting Olympic weights, how to do a lot of exercises including rope climbs, rig work including progression on how to scale things.

Started training with Rob back in June last year, I am completely new to crossfit/type of exercise. Had no knowledge of techniques for lifting Olympic weights, how to do a lot of exercises including rope climbs, rig work including progression on how to scale things. Before I started I mentioned to family and friends that I was starting it and they were all shocked as they all believe it was really intense and hard workouts, they all thought it was gruelling workouts. They couldn’t be further from the truth! There are ‘RX’ workouts which means you do as the workouts as prescribed but you can scale everything to fit your needs, from heavy deadlifts, to running and pull ups. Rob and the other coaches really focus on progression movements and give you support 100% of the way. The box is so warming and welcoming, when I started I couldn’t really do much at all, everyone was running rings round me, lifting weights double my weights and I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all, everyone helped me and pushed me along. If I went to a commercial gym I would not have any motivation to get anything done, but these workout really get me going, push myself further each session, everyone has set up their own goals that are individual to themselves. We are pushed each session which is good for me personally, I really enjoy training with Rob at the box as it is a tight knit community, we all do things together, such as the nuclear races event in Brentwood, some go on runs together on weekends, events in the summer and Christmas parties. Like a second home to me! Shame I can’t give 6 stars 🤔 Less

I have been a member at CFMY for approx 18 months now and it’s completely changed the way I train, and the way I look at fitness. My main driver always used to be to lose fat, however now I am more focused on my overall health and fitness and have a new found appreciation for my body and what it can do, and what I can achieve. It also embodies all of the elements I enjoy about working out - it’s not just solely cardio or weights - it’s functional fitness with everything combined. The coaches are fantastic, and will always make sure you’re doing ok but also encourage you to push yourself. The community is also another level - surround yourself with good people, who believe in you, who will encourage you and will always get you through your last rep 💪🏼😅 I have made some friends for life at CFMY and can’t wait to see what the future brings - both personal fitness goals and for the box. Come on Yarders!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Less

I have trained in so many traditional gyms and CFMY beats them all. The inclusion, the community, the encouragement, the programming, and especially the coaching staff make this a place you want to spend time in to achieve your fitness and well-being goals!

Very warm and welcoming community with knowledgeable and friendly coaches who push you on to the next level. The friendliest and best equipped CrossFit in the area.

When your guided to workout like this and encouraged to work hard you get fitter !!

What’s not to recommend. Best equipment, friendliest of members and the greatest coaches.

The programming at this box is second to none. The coaches are excellent and dedicate so much time into helping everyone. Everything is really well organised and clean. Highly recommended place to train and make significant changes to your fitness, shape and size.

I’m new to CrossFit, been going for just over 2 months now and find it so rewarding. CrossFit Muscle Yard is a great place to train. The coaches are very knowledgable and there is such a good vibe. It’s very supportive to be pushed and encouraged.

18 months ago I decided to switch gyms and venture into CFMY. Did I make the right decision? ABSOLUTELY YES I DID! Felt at ease straight away and very welcomed. Always walk out feeing like I’ve worked hard and had a great workout. Great coaches with very knowledgeable advice. Love the community and team feel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve been doing CrossFit for 3yrs now (2yrs at other gyms) but in just under a year of training at Muscleyard I can honestly say my fitness & strength has improved massively & my body shape has changed for the better.

Great place to train!! Always lots of giggles and uber amounts of encouragement when the workouts get tough 💪

Been going to CrossFit Muscle Yard for about 3 weeks now. Absolutely loving it, great support from the coaches and everyone in the class is very inclusive. Highly recommend

had a free session this morning and absolutely loved it. everyone is so friendly and welcoming and the coach put me and my friend at ease supporting us all the way through the workout. signing up for membership as I want to be part of the cf community

Awesome atmosphere, great way to train and all around great fun! The best gym you will ever go to, you will never walk into an ordinary gym again!

Great box! Friendly helpful coaches who really help you work through your weaknesses. Lovely friendly atmosphere!

Nice friendly box, thanks for letting us drop in. Sarah & Mark.

The best training community environment. Very challenging and motivating, putting you in the right frame of mind to achieving your fitness goals...

Best decision I’ve made when it comes to my fitness. Rob, Mike, Jay, Gemma and Chris are fantastic coaches and everyone is so welcoming.

I've just completed my first month of CrossFit at Muscle Yard and I honestly love it!

I had never been to any sort of gym before and didn’t know what to expect. After being pretty apprehensive I booked on the foundation and have never looked back. Such a great community of people with fantastic guidance from all of the coaches.

I'm approaching 50 and wasn't sure if I could manage Crossfit. How wrong I was!!! Crossfit Muscle Yard, with its amazing coaches and fellow buddies, have made me welcome and I can see the results. If your unsure, go for it, I'm glad I did😊

Unbelievable place to train. The coaches are very knowledgeable and support you through every part of a session. I have been here two years now, normally I would quit the gym after 3 months through boredom. That shows what a great place CFMY is!

Warming and welcoming with great coaches. They will support your personal fitness goals in any way they can. Plus they offer a foundation course if you’re not sure and to see what it’s all about, I bet you get hooked. I like it much better then the gym. Conditioning, weight training, skill sets with handstands, skipping, box jumps, rope climbing, rings at your level.

Amazing workouts and community spirit 🙌👏💪

Amazing place to workout. Great programming and coaching with a clean space filled with great equipment. Without missing out the awesome people that encourage you to be your best and have fun in every workout. If you want to learn, improve and workout with a great bunch of people this is your place! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (5/5 big stars!)

Best decision I ever made was signing up for The foundation course with Rob Barber. Learnt so much and feel so much happier and fitter. Even though I was regularly training the additional sessions at the muscle yard are complimenting my training perfectly! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best gym I've ever been to, you'll love it!

Impressed by the warm welcome and professionalism of the coaches. Regardless of my current fitness level, all exercises were adapted to my specific needs, that was really encouraging. I always look forwards to training and improving:)

I’ve worked with great trainers and supportive classes before but this place takes it to a whole new level! An awesome and inspiring place to train. Rob and the team of coaches are first class, always checking to see that form is correct. The community feel is wonderful. This place is for all ages and abilities too.

I have seen massive changes in my overall fitness and body shape in this short amount of time.

A great Crossfit box. Good facilities and equipment, great coaching and programming, very friendly.

Welcoming place to train in a functional way.

Brilliant place both myself and my daughter train there. Can't recommend Crossfit or this box enough. If you're considering giving it a go, do it you'll love it.

I have been a regular gym goer for years and found Crossfit Muscle Yard after looking for a new fitness challenge. I'd seen a few Crossfit documentaries on Netflix so signed up for the foundation course just to get a taste of it - immediately hooked. Why I recommend Crossfit Muscle Yard: 1) Rob and the coaches are fantastic, spending a lot of time at the start of each session going through the movements to establish correct form before you even put weight on the bar. 2) All members are super friendly, different ages and fitness levels so you feel comfortable getting involved straight away. 3) Constantly varied and challenging fitness programmes mean you get out of your comfort zone and see results fast. I've been going to CFMY for 9 months now on 3 sessions a week and I'm fitter and stronger than ever. Get involved! Less

Rob and the coaching staff are mega friendly and supportive. Excellent community vibes and a great place to train. If you want to surround yourself with a like-minded, growth orientated, healthy living bunch, then join us!

This place has been awesome for me, it’s took my fitness to another level. The gym is modern, clean, the factilites are awesome and it’s constantly getting better. Rob, the owner, is a passionate guy and great coach. Dont make the mistake I did and ‘wait to get fit’ before you join up! Join up now you won’t look back, it’s the best Box in Essex!

The most enjoyable and engaging place I have ever trained. You will get results, and quick!

Fast growing crossfit box. Started just less than 2 years ago but already very pleasant to train in. Coach Rob has forged a great core group. Everyone help each other and every new member feels welcome. Absolutely to be kept in consideration if you want to start training seriously, safely and effectively.

Not like any other gym out there! Training in small groups really helps to get maximum results with the support of a great bunch of people who support you all the way! Everyone is so welcoming whether you are a crossfit pro or a complete beginner to fitness once you start you will never give it up!

The coach and clientele are great 👍🏻

Excellent place to train, great facilities and a friendly atmosphere! Absolutely hooked 👍
