Dropped in from Canada. Jules coached a great class- had a blast, got some fitness in! Would highly recommend!

Really friendly memebers with great scaled workout options so everyone can do a similar (ish) workout Coaches are really helpful and make minor corrections that make lots of difference Well worth it

A super welcoming gym and community, a great place to go for ANY level of CrossFit!!

Only starting coming a couple of week ago but so far so good. Nikko, Jules and Jake are great coaches and make the session really inclusive for people at all levels on their fitness journey.

The team are absolutely great and it’s a really supportive and inclusive environment! I’ve made more progress in a month than I probably did in 3 years with a PT

Amazing, friendly, and supportive - what more could you want!

I’ve been going to Rush242 for just two weeks, and I’ve never felt more welcomed and supported in my entire gym experience. Nikko and the team have created a truly unique environment that builds confidence through competence and education, unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The facilities and equipment are top-notch, and it’s an absolute pleasure to work out here. Highly recommend!

I’m new to exercise and was a bit unsure about starting CrossFit, but Rush242 has been amazing. The coaches are incredibly supportive and encouraging, and I've already seen progress in my ability and confidence. I highly recommend giving them a try.

It's fun and challenging ! Happy to get back to shape !

the place is quite amazing! And coaches are very friendly!

Rush is a very friendly gym where the community is lovely and supportive with no judgement. Coaches and members alike made me feel welcome from my first days, everyone made an effort to remember my name and include me.

Rush is a very friendly gym where the community is lovely and supportive with no judgement. Coaches and members alike made me feel welcome from my first days, everyone made an effort to remember my name and include me. Everyone fist bumps each other after every session which is one of the small details that make me love the community! It's also worth mentioning the gym is very women-friendly and LGBTQIA+ inclusive. The coaches are all passionate about crossfit and very knowledgeable. They explain every workout and each move in detail, so even as a complete beginner I don't feel lost. The sessions are tough but the level method adapts each workout to each individual's level and tracks progression which feels very rewarding. The gym itself is lovely as well, they really optimised the space and all the equipment is excellent. Amazing experience so far so a big thanks to Nikko, Jules, Fraser, Lara and all the Rushers x Less

100% recommend to anyone thinking of joining! As a CrossFit beginner who didn’t go the gym before joining (and had crazy anxiety about it), I’ve been made to feel so welcome by all the coaches and current members. No matter what your level, there is a workout to suit you and you’re supported and pushed to achieve your best! It’s a welcoming, inclusive environment with no judgement. I can’t recomm... More

Great atmosphere. Brilliant coaches, really supportive and always pushing you to new heights.

Really enjoying my experience at Rush242! The coaches are super helpful and really care about your goals 😊

It's been a month and I stand by my initial impression. This place is a gem. Lara has a gift for including people in conversations, adjusting workouts without belittling people, and believes in you to reach higher/go harder even if you dont think you can.

Jules is a fantastic coach and delivers her sessions in a way thats accessible to anyone who turns up. She regularly posts what she is grateful for in the FB group and although it's not always active in the comments, it really helps to get through the week/ prompt positive thinking! Nikko is outstanding his commitment to his members is like no other I've ever seen or advertised elsewhere. Nikko takes the time to get to know you and it genuinely feels like he's asking. The effort that is put into this place doesn't go unnoticed because I've never seen anyone who's left the gym with a sad face. This team is the very definition of what "above and beyond" means. Less

As a complete beginner to CrossFit, I couldn’t have asked for a better gym to start my journey.

New to cross fit and reslly enjoying the workouts and support available from trainers and fellow cross fitters

So many great things to say about this place and its people. I have been to many CrossFit Boxs/Gyms in Manchester, Salford and beyond, it is here though where I have progressed the most. I came from ClassPass after working abroad for awhile and needed a new start for my fitness and I couldn't have found a better place Thanks to Rush, I am in the best shape of my life. As well as looking my best I am performing at my best too. As soon as I could afford it and my passes expired I joined as a full member Nikko and Jules are incredible coaches and go out of their way to ensure everyone they coach develops, whether you brand new or you been hooked on CrossFit since the days of Froning and Fraser. The fellow CrossFitters at the box ade some of the loveliest and most support bunch out there, always looking out for one another and helping each other get better. A prime example would be thr Open yesterday. Without them and the coaches, no way I would have done the weight I did for as many reps as I did. Very grateful. What is offered here is so unique, stuff I haven't seen elsewhere, all that helps those who go here. Small classes, Level Method, PT sessions and more, all make the experience more personal. You are able to easily see your strengths and weakness, improving on the latter with support in class and beyond if you want. This feels much better than feeling like you are either a Beginner or Pro, RX or Scaler, here you are your own athlete, who will crush some elements and be crushed by others until you find a way manage them all... Well hopefully, keep ya posted when that happens, still working on those high weight exercises. Getting there though Thanks to all at Rush TLDR: Rush 242 is a great CrossFit Box in Salford/Manchester with great people and it would be a great idea to join 😝😝😝 Less

Awesome gym and an even better group of people. Team Rush242 has been so welcoming and encouraging right from the beginning, and made me feel so included and capable. Great coaching and spicy workouts. Definitely recommended!! 🙌🏻👌🏻

I couldn’t recommend Rush242 more. In only a short time have I seen improvement in my technique, strength and confidence and that is all down to the brilliant coaches and amazing community that they have created. Whether you’re a beginner (like me) or have been crossfitting for years, this is the place to be! 🌊💪

Absolutely amazing Box, all the coaches are super friendly & knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend this gym for newcomers & CrossFit veterans 💖

Great trainers, very welcoming for everyone regardless of ability, definitely felt very supported during the sessions!

So lucky to have been here to see this place go from a wild dream to reality. Jules and Nico have made this happened and totally smashed it. They built everything from the ground up and most of all they brought together a very tight knit community of people sharing amazing values and passion 🖤 Couldn’t recommend this place and these two amazing people enough 💫

Whether you’re an experienced athlete or just starting out, Rush242 is the perfect CrossFit gym! 💙💛🌊 I was really anxious to join as a CrossFit beginner, but the community here is so welcoming and inclusive that I immediately feel right at home!

Welcoming and friendly, a real ' feel good ' vibe. Members soon feel part of this CrossFit community. Fantastic coaches are the key in this best gym in Manchester.

Rush 242 is a perfect place for training crossfit, our coaches are very empathic and professional, I enjoyed so much my time in this gym 😊🏋🏻‍♀️

The coaches make an effort to know your name and overall the environment they've created is one you feel safe in. Whether you are super experienced or completely new to fitness, the coaches give everyone the attention they need to ensure they are getting the most from their workout. The programming - level method - provides a really nice guide for athletes of all abilities and takes a lot of the guesswork out of how you might scale the workout. They also offer personal training sessions, nutrition guidance and have external experts host workshops too. I love going to this gym, it's worth every penny! Less

What a vibe this place is!! Coaches are so knowledgeable and super helpful... Great community & spot for both athletes and general pop to come together. Highly recommend! ❤️

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, this gym provides the perfect environment to challenge yourself and achieve your fitness goals. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Even tho the workout itself might be challenging, you will feel so amazing afterwards that you will want to come straight back the next day!!!))) Less

Amazing gym with super supportive coaches!

A fantastic, well ran, very welcoming crossfit gym, movements are explained and demonstrated well prior to beginning the workout with various options of scaling available to suit all abilities. 5 stars all day.

I thought I was too old to start at almost 50 !! ... but OMG I LOVE ❤️ the training and loving myself again. Thanks Julia & Nikko, you are the best of the best 😁💪

Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming and we always have a good laugh as well as a tough workout. I also love that all the exercises can be scaled to your personal ability, so it’s super accessible to all levels. Hands down best gym in Manchester!

My first time going to a gym and it was super fun! Nikko was so helpful and friendly and guided me when I needed it, lots of laughs too ❤️

I had an amazing experience at Rush242!! I absolutely loved it! Great community and amazing facilities! Would highly recommend!

Just finished my first 3 intro sessions. Highly recommend. Haven’t trained properly in years so was a bit apprehensive but Nikko is an excellent coach focusing on your technique and creating a fun and friendly environment!

Joining a gym for the first time at 30 years old, I was super nervous but both Nikko and Jules are always so friendly and welcoming. Nikko has been so supportive and encouraging! He always takes the time to demonstrate and explain each exercise, building my confidence massively and we always manage to laugh each session.

I was super anxious about joining this gym as it was stepping into the unknown however all the staff have been so so friendly and supportive making the whole onboarding experience so easy and enjoyable, as well as holding me accountable by often checking in with me to see how things are going and when they’ll next see me there! I can’t recommend this place enough, it has ignited my passion for fitness all over again! It has also changed my whole perspective on working out, I now look at what my body can do and achieve rather than how it looks. Less

Came for a weightlifting workshop. A really lovely and welcoming gym, with knowledgeable coaches. Will definitely visit next time I'm in the area.

Really nice! The scaling system they have here worked really well for me. Niko and Jules are brilliant coaches and the place has good vibes

I highly recommend getting involved!!💪🏻🌊 Jules and Nikko are amazing coaches and show so much passion towards helping their members achieve their goals.

A brand new gym but I've had classes with Coach Nikko for a while & he is so lovely and knowledgeable. He's really helped me improve & I love his classes - they're so fun. 100% guaranteed good vibes.

first time trying crossfit but nikko and jules are so lovely and create a welcoming, non-judgemental space. class sizes are nice and small which means you get loads of personalised guidance. great mix of heavy lifting plus cardio, i highly recommend !!

I had not been to CrossFit before joining the Rush242 gym. The coaches are patient and helpful, always making sure our form is correct and we are pushing ourselves. Every workout is challenging and fun, highly recommend.

Great Box! Its brand new, but the coaches bring with them a wealth of experience. New equipment, and a great member base means no matter what your level is, you'll be looked after.

First time doing cross fit and the coaches are very inclusive and welcoming! Really enjoy all the workouts and I can’t wait to see my fitness improve :)

A great box with brilliant coaches and good vibes! The way to teach and focus on the technique of each movement is amazing👏 Definitely hight recommended.

Loving this new box! 🔥🔥🔥 Nikko and Jules are incredible coaches - so passionate about what they do. I feel at home here 👌🏻

Good coaches with a lot of experience. The facility features new installations and excellent quality equipment. I highly recommend it.
