Sarah is a truly excellent coach. She has an amazing ability to recognise what I’m capable of, often beyond what I think my own limits are, and encourages me to push just the right amount. During workouts at Market Town CrossFit, she carefully watches my form and steps in to adjust my technique or suggest a slightly heavier weight when she sees I’m ready.She’s attentive, knowledgeable, and always positive, creating an environment where I feel both challenged and supported. Her personal and motivating approach has made a real difference to my progress - helping me build confidence as I master new movements, increase my strength through steadily tougher exercises, and maintain consistency even on days when motivation is low. Training with Sarah feels like a balanced mix of encouragement and challenge that keeps me coming back and improving week after week.

I’m 65 years old at the time of writing this review and have be doing CrossFit at Southtons Fitness for about 10 months now. This is my first experience of this type of exercising.The coaches are brilliant, they are all very encouraging and they ensure you are exercising safely and helping you get your best possible results.I’ve also met a great group of people of a range of ages who are performing at various different levels and who are more than willing to help, encourage and pass on their experiences too.Southtons Fitness is a wonderful and fun environment to be part of and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who wants to give CrossFit a try.

Elliot is always superb! He listens to each individual’s journey and makes reasonable adjustments. He enquires about life outside the gym and always brings the mood in the room up. He is a patient and encouraging coach, which motivates me to do better.

Elliot is always really helpful and gives great tips on how you can improve your performance and even try new things. Even in a busy class I always feel he is paying attention and giving me feedback which makes it so much more enjoyable and makes me want to push myself that little extra bit.

Loved everything about this place! The coffee bar serves amazing coffee, classes are very well structured, and every workout is planned to perfection. The gym has all the equipment and accessories you could ever need. The toilets and showers feel absolutely 5-star. The coaches are highly trained, supportive, and the wellness room is wonderful. The community here is so helpful and full of positive energy! It’s been one year, I have seen my body getting better for good in all sense. This is my happy n peace place!

Dropped into this gym while visiting family for the holidays and couldn’t have felt more welcome. Sarah was an amazing coach, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Great space with a big training floor, coffee area, changing rooms, and even a room with a sauna/cold plunge. Would definitely recommend.

I recently started at Southtons and I was really nervous! But I needent have been. The coaches are experts and have made sure that I’m doing exercise and workouts that work for my fitness level, helping me learn what weights I can do and making sure I’m using the correct posture and poses.The other members are so friendly and welcoming, also helping me when I’m unsure and cheering me on to finish my workouts.I now just need to learn the lingo and I’ll be all set!

2025-11-14T10:49:14.547Z

I started coming 8 weeks ago and was so nervous to get back into this style of training as it’s been a while. Everyone (both instructors and the other members) have been so welcoming and supportive. I really look forward to going to the sessions now whereas I felt so stale and bored with my exercise before. Cannot recommend enough! Thank you 🫶

I’ve been training at Market Town for just over a year and absolutely love the awesome coaching team. Shout out to coach George who has been consistently patient and supportive and helped me achieve things I never thought possible. He is always a great cheerleader and his dancing skills bring a welcome distraction when the WOD gets tough. Helping me navigate injury and finding balance with my training! Couldn’t ask for a better community!

Joining Market Town CrossFit has genuinely been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Every single coach brings an incredible level of energy and dedication that’s contagious. Whether it’s pushing through a tough WOD or refining technique, they know exactly how to motivate you while still keeping things fun. Each coach has their own style, but they all share the same passion and commitment to helping you become your strongest self. I’ve pushed myself further than I ever thought possible — physically and mentally — and that’s 100% thanks to their guidance and support.But what really sets Market Town CrossFit apart is the community. The support here is second to none. From day one, I felt like part of something bigger — people cheer you on, celebrate your wins, and lift you up when you’re struggling. It’s an environment where everyone wants to see each other succeed, and that kind of encouragement is priceless. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting out, this is a place where you’ll feel welcomed, challenged, and inspired every single day.

Sarah is so full of energy which is so infectious. That is what you need to get you through a workout first thing in the morning. She really helped me work on my deadlift technique, making sure I was on point! Thank you Sarah!

Elliot did a fantastic job at coaching today. The session today involved a lot of lunges, which I can’t do due to an injury, however, Elliot gave me a lot of support to flex the session to give me some alternatives that still worked the similar muscle groups but didn’t aggravate my injury. Thank you Elliot!!

2025-04-10T09:16:16.434Z

Elliot is always great and ready to adapt anything due to injuries/ niggles. He has so much knowledge and passion for CrossFit, it always shows in every class he teaches.

2025-03-31T13:23:53.454Z

Friendly and supportive all round

2025-03-31T13:05:48.714Z

Welcoming, professional and a great time.

2025-03-31T07:44:05.897Z

Far less scary than I thought, really fun work out and everyone was so welcoming, I would highly recommend these classes!

2025-03-31T07:31:39.926Z

My first experience of cross fit. Loved it especially as i have not done any exercises for years.Felt well supported and everything adapted to my level. Everyone was cheerful and friendly.

2025-03-19T12:44:23.588Z

After experiencing my first session, I am certain that I wish to be a part of this community. I had Sara as my coach today, and she was incredibly supportive, encouraging, and empathetic.I come from a gym background, and this is simply the next step up. I had no idea about my potential, I very proud of myself and I love it!

2025-03-15T13:01:47.435Z

Great group of people, make you feel super comfortable even when your self conscious like me. Best gym and great coaches!!

Market Town CrossFit is an absolutely fantastic place. I have been a member for just over 4 months now and from the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by an incredibly supportive and friendly community. What seemed daunting at first quickly became something I genuinely look forward to, thanks to the amazing coaches and members.The coaches are outstanding—patient, extremely knowledgeable, and always encouraging, especially for someone like me who’s not always that quick at picking up new skills! They take the time to ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident, making each session both challenging and rewarding.More than just a gym, Market Town CrossFit is a true community where everyone lifts each other up. I never expected to enjoy it this much, but it has completely exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a motivating and inclusive place to get fit!

Amazing class today as always! Sarah’s a top coach! I have a prosthetic leg and she always caters for all my needs and always tailors the classes to suit! Amazing energy from the coach very motivational and informative!

2025-02-06T19:38:15.907Z

Loved the session and Elliot is a wonderful coach. I learnt so many useful skills in such a short time.

2025-02-05T15:57:31.814Z

What I love about Sarah’s sessions, besides her ability to instruct the class concisely and clearly, is the quality of her coaching, her positive and engaging attitude, and the high level of energy she brings to each session. I truly admire her consistency in delivering this experience every time.

The best decision I have made.I have been a member of commercial gyms and boxing gyms for years and years, but never have I felt so supported and part of such a fantastic community. I will go as far as saying MTCF has become my extended family.Whatever stage you are at in life, and on your fitness journey, you come in, and for the time you are here you forget the world exists, you eagerly learn the new language of cross fit, which is drop fed to you by the excellent coaches. MTCF members have each others back at all times, never do you complete a workout on your own in you own agony of thoughts and never do you get an opportunity to give up, everyone will be your shield of strength and support and cheer for you to get stronger, and better whatever your goals are.If you are looking for a soulless place to tick sport of the daily routine - this is not a place for you! But!!! If you want to grow as an individual and learn to love your body, its capabilities and push your limits as part of something bigger and better - you are one of us!❤️

I never thought that I will be able to do cross fit. A promotional offer came up on my instagram and I thought "why not? I'll try it" . I was scared that I won't be able to keep up as I haven't done sports for the last 2 years. However all trainers are very welcoming and they adjust the workout to your possibilities. Always encouraging and empowering. I only had a chance to have training sessions with these coaches - George is always very informative and knows what he is doing whilst explaining different type of excercisses. Sarah is a bomb of positivity and explosive energy and Ruby is very patient, attentive and always encouraging. Overall, all of them are fantastic coaches and I'm very glad that I decided to join this family. Love going to the training sessions regardless of how challenging they are. Highly recommend to everyone that doesn't have motivation to go to the gym but wants to be healthy and fit - cross fit is so much more fun and fast pace. Highly recommend!

Sarah is a great motivational coachShe is super knowledgable and really enjoys pushing individuals to get the movements right and takes care of everyone in her class. She pushes you to lift heavier, get more reps and test your limits in a safe environment. She is always happy to offer extra help and leads the class with positive energy and a smile on her face. When you come to her classes you forget about your bad day and your in a zone to smash an awesome work out and learn new skills!
