What you can be sure if that the WOD will include a combination of tried and tested functional movements that support progress in the 10 measures of “fitness” described above ​​​ The coach will provide: Proper warm up and cool down Full explanation and demonstration of all aspects of the WOD and why they are being performed Advice on how to scale the WOD to suit your ability and provide a challenging but safe workout Supervision and guidance throughout the session to the group as a whole and to individuals Motivation and encouragement to make sure you get the best workout you can

Variety: WODs are different every day and the lack of repetitiveness both prevents boredom and challenges the body and mind, leading to continuous progress. The variety of movements within CrossFit is unique and brings huge physical benefits. ​​ Intensity: CrossFit is focused on achieving the intensity necessary to drive real physical change - via the class environment, the presence of the coach and the nature of the WODs – but always safely scaled to an individual’s own ability. ​ Community: The class environment builds camaraderie and sense of community and helps motivate members as they work out alongside each other. ​​​ Progress: Improvements in performance are measurable and the regular attainment of goals, whether small or large, has a huge motivating effect and brings a sense of real achievement. ​​ Consistency: All of the above make CrossFit fun and rewarding, encouraging consistency of participation which in turn drives further achievement in a virtuous circle of increased fitness and well-being.

CrossFit Tufnell Park was founded in 2017 by five friends who are passionate about health, fitness and of course CrossFit. As experienced CrossFitters, we have a good understanding of what makes a CrossFit "box" (CrossFit lingo for a gym) fun, and that is why we founded CFTP. We want it to be a facility embedded into our community, catering to the fitness needs with anyone who is willing to show up, apply some dedication and see where the journey takes them. ​​​ Our facility has plenty of space and height which allows great flexibility when programming WODs. It is also very well-located, with excellent transport links and proximity to Central London and the City. Many other similar gyms have had to compromise on either space or location due to lack of available real estate, but we are fortunate to have both! As well as plenty of functional training equipment used in CrossFit, we also have traditional gym equipment including cardio and fixed weight machines. We have longer opening hours that most CrossFit gyms so members have the option to use all of the equipment (both the traditional gym equipment and the CrossFit equipment) to supplement their training, work on their own goals or target specific weaknesses, outside of classes. Get in touch with us to find out more about the range of memberships we offer which allow flexible training on top of our core offering of classes. While CrossFit is at the heart of what we do, our varied timetable goes beyond just regular CrossFit sessions, and includes additional specialist sessions. These allow members to drill down and improve on specific areas (such as strength training or olympic weightlifting) which in turn allows them to progress faster during the CrossFit sessions. When you join CrossFit Tufnell Park, you get CrossFit and more!
