Review Participation

14 out of 66 members asked left a review (21.2% participation rate) in the last 90 days. This is above the network average of 13.6% across 1,252 gyms.

Boutique gyms typically see higher average ratings than big-box gyms because members are personally asked by coaches they train with daily — not through anonymous post-visit emails. This personal connection means the feedback is more genuine and detailed, and members who love their gym are naturally more motivated to share that experience.

I was working in the area and had no evening plans so took advantage of the free session (and came again after). From arriving was made to feel welcome, lovely atmosphere, encouraging and supportive people. Plus the session was really good, hard but still good 😊

This was my first taster session in strength training and I enjoyed it. Everyone was friendly and Laura supported me all through the class explaining things as we went. All in all a positive experience - thanks!

Another great session today at Claydon CrossFit. Today’s workout was challenging. As I started to tire, my form slipped and the coach stepped in at the right moment to offer some advice and cues to get me through the workout safely. It’s a supportive community here. Would highly recommend.

The variety of classes is outstanding, with no two WODs the same, keeping it fresh and helping me learn new skills. The instructors are very informative and supportive, and the welcoming atmosphere at Claydon CrossFit makes it a great place to train.

Claydon CrossFit in Great Blakenham is excellent, and I love that there are many group classes I can join. It’s also great that I can work out with health concerns with modifications. This is the first time in a gym for me, and I had no idea that it could be so much fun, as well as being super effective.

Verified Review

I really like Claydon CrossFit because they have a good range of times to choose from, making it super convenient. The gym definitely feels inclusive to everyone, which is awesome. It’s not too busy during peak hours either, so I can get my workout in without any stress.

We recently started the mayhem workouts which I am loving and today’s class was a mayhem workout. Suze took the time to explain and demonstrate the workout and we each tried the different moves before the class started. This is very helpful because once the class starts it go go go. I enjoy coming to CCF. Suze is lovely and everyone is very friendly and helpful.

Today was my first day. I was given such a lovely warm welcome by Susannah and the other ladies in the class. Susannah was careful to monitor my performance throughout the class, giving me lots of encouragement and adapting the weights to help ensure I could complete the class. This was exactly what I was hoping for. I left feeling exhausted, exhilarated and exited to return on Tuesday for my next class. Thank you 🙏

I have been here just over a year now, wanted to learn something new and have really found a passion for CrossFit. There’s excellent variety through out a weeks worth of classes and so many classes on in a day. This sport is for all abilities yes you have some crazy top end athletes here but you also have a fair few 60 year olds absolutely smashing it. Keeping mobile and looking after themselves, CrossFit is for anyone

Claydon CF is such a great place to train. The sessions are always varied and properly challenging, but in the best way. The coaches are super supportive and always ready to help you push yourself, scale things when you need to, and pick up new skills. It’s a brilliant gym to be part of.

Verified Review

Today’s session was well structured, and you can tell the programming has been carefully thought about - not just thrown together. Each part of the workout flowed smoothly into the next, balancing strength, endurance, and technique in a way that kept me engaged the whole time without feeling overwhelmed. Craig is an excellent coach, always making sure to support and mentor members throughout the class. He pays close attention to everyone’s form, offering helpful adjustments and encouragement that make you feel confident and safe. What really stands out is how he brings a sense of humour to the lessons, which I feel is a great touch - especially for newcomers - as it breaks the ice and makes the whole experience more enjoyable and less intimidating. His positive energy and genuine care create an atmosphere at Claydon CrossFit where you want to push yourself while still having fun.

I think the coaching is fantastic, I’ve tried 3 days different classes and loved every 1.

Coach was excellent, made me feel very at ease and explained everything very well. I understand you might introduce an over 65 class in the near future in which case I would definitely join crossfit. I just feel I wouldn't be able to keep up with the younger age group. Really enjoyed today though, thank you.
