Orwell Fitness

I have now been a member of Orwell Fitness for over four months. I can honestly say joining this gym has been the best decision I have made, definitely 5 star. After several years of triathlons and a few Ironman events I really needed to concentrate more on strength training and conditioning, probably a factor of age more than anything. Each session I have attended has delivered what feels like one on one training even in a class of 15 people, a true testament to the instructors and the experience and skill they have. It's a great environment with great members that will make you all feel at home. Definitely worth a go.......

Never stepped in a gym having been a runner/triathlete for 20 years - but it was time for me to try something different. From the first day the whole team were so warm and welcoming - they all seemed to know my name from the start and have been so supportive in starting me off down this new path in the correct way. I have already moved from 2 or 3 sessions a week to 4 or 5. The other members are very friendly and supportive too - and it is great that the gym is full of people of all ages, sizes and goals.

Have been with Orwell Fitness for a month now. I came with specific goals; from the trial session I knew this was the place for me. The staff are great and make you feel welcome and part of the community.
What I love about this gym, is that each of the trainers want to get to know you, they make a point of learning your first name. They support you to get the best out of you. Always giving pointers on technique, alternative exercises if needs be. The classes have mixed abilities and cater for all needs, whatever your goals. Every session you are shown the moves you are going to do, so never feel left out, overwhelmed or out of place. Any egos are left at the door. A friendly community, I’d go as far as to say it feels more like a big family. Loving the journey.

i have been coming here for nearly a year and it is quite possibly one of the best decisions i have ever made. the atmosphere & community here is unmatched. everyone is so kind, both the members and coaches. having moved from london and not knowing anyone, orwell fitness has become my second home. and to the friends i have made here, i am so grateful for you all. the coaches care personally for everyone, and are made to feel welcome regardless of background and experience.
thank you to the coaches for getting me into my healthiest & strongest version yet, both mentally and physically. if you are thinking of joining, i can almost reassure that you won't regret it. love to everyone at orwell fitness. 💙

Hands down the best gym experience I have had, having been parts of multiple gyms and sports clubs throughout my time. Supportive and competitive, homely and community focused. Little in terms or anything I could ask more for. Keep it up team Orwell

After being a member at David Lloyd for many years doing the usual training, I was very unsure about joining somewhere new and being out of my comfort zone.
As soon as I met Darren and his team I knew I had made the right decision, all of them are so friendly, helpful and make you feel welcome, best thing I've ever done 👍🏻

I've been a member at Orwell Fitness for the past two years and I absolutely love this place. The staff/coaches couldn't be more friendly, helpful and encouraging. Whether you join the OC (Orwell Conditioning), WOD (Workout Of the Day), Gymnastics or Weightlifting classes then you find each session is more like a group PT session rather than a regular gym class.

Excellent new CrossFit and weightlifting gym with highly knowledgeable trainers. Darren started me on my CrossFit journey 4 months ago and with patience and encouragement has transformed my fitness and health. Highly recommended!

A great place to train in what is an idyllic location.

Darren & Kirsty are cracking coaches & really know their stuff.

If you're looking to get fit & healthy while having a laugh and making some friends, CrossFit Orwell is the place to go.

It's nearly been a year since I joined Orwell Fitness and it's been the best year for both my physical and mental well-being.

I was nervous joining as I was very much out of practice but all the coaches made me feel so at ease and confident every class.

Attention to detail is amazing and facilities are quality. All the coaches are so attentive to technique and are genuinely interested in getting to know everyone on a personal level to make sure every class is enjoyable and informative.

To top it off, the Orwell Fitness community is amazing. Everyone is welcome and I can't recommend it enough.

What a gym! I look forward to training here and go because I want to, rather than because I feel I have to. Since joining Orwell Fitness last year, my mindset on training and how it fits into my lifestyle has changed for the better.

The coaches are incredible and so welcoming, the members are lovely and the sessions are structured so that they can be tweaked to suit all abilities. Highly recommended!

I’ve been a member of Orwell Fitness for 3 months and I’ve enjoyed every session so far. As someone who struggled consistently going to commercial gyms, being active or living healthy I really enjoyed using the trial to understand the culture of the gym and how it could support me in reaching my goals. The team at Orwell provide well structured and enjoyable sessions for everyone no matter the stage of their fitness journey. Since joining I’ve lost 4KG, have achieved personal goals and I look forward to working with the team to improve my fitness and lifestyle in the months to come. With a great range of classes available throughout the day I highly recommend Orwell Fitness to all!

Amazing gym! I was very apprehensive when I first joined but I shouldn’t have been, everybody was so friendly and welcoming. Coaches are brilliant, everything is adapted to your ability and needs. Really supportive environment. Great range of classes from CrossFit, conditioning, gymnastics, weightlifting and strongman/woman. 5 months in and can notice a big difference in my general fitness and strength. Wish I’d joined sooner!

Since I’ve joined around 3 years ago, my fitness has improved drastically. The atmosphere that Darren and Kirsty have created is second to none and it is a friendly and fun place to train no matter your age or ability, with top quality coaching, who are always on hand to give guidance on technique. They really invest in the gym, with high spec equipment that is well looked after and are constantly working to make sure they’re providing the best service for all the members. Can’t recommend it enough!

By far the best gym you will ever sign up to, and that’s not only down to the coaches but every other person inside the gym.

I would 100% recommend this gym to anyone who is thinking or looking, best decision I made.

Can’t thank Orwell Fitness enough for completely changing my mindset on my physical and mental health and feel very lucky to be apart of the gym

Joined Orwell Fitness in August 2022 to maintain my fitness levels and learn different skills. I’d always like the idea of trying CrossFit and I’ve definitely found the best place to do this. The coaches are friendly, very experienced and informative throughout the workouts, always guiding you and ensuring you are working out safely and effectively whilst encouraging you to achieve and push yourself all the time.

All the members are friendly and welcoming, everyone trains at there own level and pace but you feel part of a big team.

Darren and Kirsty run a very efficient, clean and welcoming place to train, you always feel important and they are constantly striving to make it the best place possible to train.

I loved it since the moment I walked in 😊

I've been going to Orwell Fitness since the day they opened.
Kirsty, Darren & the team are fantastic coaches who really ensure you enjoy the sessions.
The equipment they have is high quality and kept in very good order. The gym is kept super clean.
The gym has recently been developed by adding a big mezzanine so there's lots of more space for more members.
Come along and try a free first session, you won't regret it!

Orwell Fitness is far and away the best gym I have ever been to. The gym itself is fantastic, spacious and well-equipped with top of the range equipment that is well looked after.

What sets this gym apart from others is the level of coaching that members receive in every class. All the coaches work so hard to ensure that the workouts are fun, enjoyable, and adapted for people of all levels and fitness abilities. The coaches are all friendly, approachable, and excited to help you reach your goals! There is a real community feel, everyone knows your name, and you always know that you will have a friendly face greeting you when you walk through the door!

Classes are on offer from 6am until 9pm, and on weekend mornings, with a huge range of classes to focus on your goals such as gymnastics, weightlifting, conditioning and everything in between.

For anyone looking to try something new, get in shape, and exercise in a friendly, positive environment, I would 100% recommend Orwell Fitness, and know you won’t be disappointed!

What can I say other than I love it !!
The sessions are addictive it’s just become part of my weekly routine.
The coaches are brilliant, very attentive and encouraging and they never forget a name which is impressive too .
The whole gym has a good vibe about it with plenty of encouragement from other participants and boasts top notch equipment.
I am definitely reaching my goals and only wish I had found this little gem sooner, thanks to Darren , Kirsty and Jacob 👏👍

Everyone at Orwell Fitness is on a journey, whether they are serious athletes or beginners. The owners and coaches have created a friendly and strong community who support each other. Everyone is very encouraging and committed to their development which creates a positive atmosphere.
I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s changed my life mentally and physically and I’m grateful to the coaches and members for their encouragement.
