Thirty seconds. Five questions.
Would you fit in here?

Five quick questions. Every yes earns a chalk stamp.

The map

Your 21 days, mapped.

Three weeks is exactly long enough to find out whether this is your place. Here’s roughly how it goes, based on watching hundreds of people do it since 2016.

Days 1 to 7 · Week One

The foundations of moving well

A coach meets you at the door. You learn to squat, hinge and press, scaled to exactly where you are. By Friday, three coaches and a handful of members know your name.

“I remember turning up absolutely completely nervous. But everyone was just so welcoming and friendly.” Bekki

Days 8 to 14 · Week Two

The bit where PBs start appearing

You know the warm-up now. You’ve got a favourite spot on the floor. A barbell that felt impossible on day two goes up, and someone across the room cheers, because that’s just what happens here.

“So rewarding when you think, I’ll never achieve that, and you do.” Manda

A crowd of members cheering under the international flags at CrossFit Leamington
Days 15 to 21 · Week Three

The bit where you’re one of us

You’ve found your favourite class time. You’ve done your six classes. Your £50 is on its way back. The only question left is what happens on day 22.

“Shaking, really nervous, thinking I couldn’t do it. Here I am a year later, still here, virtually every day.” Manda

The Show-Up GuaranteeDo 6 classes in 21 days
and your £50 comes back.

That’s how sure we are. Turn up six times in three weeks (that’s just twice a week) and the trial effectively costs you nothing. Refunded in full, or credited towards Foundations if you stay. The only way to lose is not to show up.

“I just stood outside and I kind of actually wanted to just leave.”

The door test

What you think is behind the door.
And what’s actually behind it.

If you’re nervous about walking in, you’re in good company. Here’s what people imagine from the outside, and what day one actually looks like.

What you think is behind the door
  • “Really just muscly men and women doing like 100 push-ups and really big weights.” What Adele expected
  • Elite athletes only. Kam’s exact assumption before she plucked up the courage to walk in
  • A whole room of people watching you and judging every wobble.
  • Getting left behind while the class sprints off without you.

None of this survives first contact with an actual class.

What’s actually behind the door (day one)
A full class at CrossFit Leamington squatting empty barbells together while a coach demonstrates
  • A coach who asks your name, your goals and your injury history. And remembers all three.
  • “Every single workout and every single activity we do is scaled down.” Lex
  • “Every member says hi to you when you first join, especially that first class.” Bekki
  • Mums, over-50s, total beginners, and one very supportive Jim.

The myths

The myths that keep people outside.
Tap one, get the truth.

Every myth about starting has been believed by someone who now trains here every week. Tap the one that sounds most like you. The answer comes from the member, word for word.

You’re a name, not a number.

“We know every single member by name, what their injury history is, and what their strengths and weaknesses are.” It’s the whole point of capping membership.

Hello, my name isAdele Hello, my name isJim Hello, my name isMolly Hello, my name isHellen Hello, my name isKam Hello, my name isTracey Hello, my name isAlan Hello, my name isBekki Hello, my name isAmy Hello, my name isLex Hello, my name isManda Hello, my name isAideen Hello, my name isCasie Soon…You

Recognise yourself?

This is for you if…

“The vast majority of our members are hard working professionals, mums and dads. You know, normal people.” Here’s who walks through our door.

…you’re a mum who wants an hour that’s yours

One coached hour with your phone away and nothing to plan, and kids who get to see a whole different version of you.

“They get to look up to a really strong mum.”Aideen, mum of two

…you’re over 50 and being told to slow down

We’d rather build your strength than manage your decline. So would your consultant, apparently.

“What do you do? Because your bones are so strong.”Kam’s consultant, after her bone density scan

…you’re a total beginner

Never touched a barbell? That’s perfect, because there are no bad habits to unlearn. Every movement is taught from scratch and scaled to you.

“I knew absolutely nothing about CrossFit. Never picked up a barbell.”Lex

…you’ve plodded round a gym for years

If it’s been years of the same machines, the same playlist and the same body, what was missing was coaching and variety, not effort.

“10 years doing the same stuff at the gym, wondering why I wasn’t getting the results.”Amy

…your diary is carnage

Classes from 5:30am to 8:30pm, Monday to Friday, plus Saturday mornings. The workout’s planned for you. Just walk in.

“You come to a class, you don’t even have to think about what you’ve got to do. It’s already done for you.”Tracey

…you’re nervous just reading this page

You’re our favourite kind of new member. Nearly everyone in our videos started exactly where you are right now.

“Shaking, really nervous, thinking I couldn’t do it. Here I am a year later.”Manda

…you’ve got a competitive streak

Every workout has a scoreboard, and a big crew of us does the CrossFit Open every year. It’s as competitive as you want it to be.

“There’s no workout that doesn’t push you to be better, faster, stronger.”Casie, who trained at CFL on her way to the Royal Marines

…you’ve got kids who won’t sit still

Good, because kids (7 to 11) and teens (12 to 16) train here too, Mondays and Thursdays, coached with the same care as the adults.

Whole families train at CFL, and the teens get their own Strength Academy.Run by Rob, our Head of Coaching

The coaches

“Their business is numbers.
Ours is relationships.”

That’s how our founder described the difference between CFL and the budget gym down the road. We cap our membership so every coach can know every member. By name, by goal, by dodgy shoulder.

  • Sotiris MandaliosFounder & CF-L3. Opened CFL in 2016 to build a professional coaching environment. Members call him “Sot”. Still coaches, still remembers your goals.
  • Kayleigh-Anne SteeleHead of Physiotherapy. Master’s-qualified, ex-NHS specialist physio, now in our gym, in your classes.
  • Rob SimsHead of Coaching. Leads technical delivery and the Teen Strength Academy.
  • Sarah “Elphie” ElphinstonHead of Nutrition. Sustainable habits, not soup diets.
  • Ross BrunnerFacilities. Competitive CrossFit circuit veteran.
  • David MelvilleOperations. Ex-professional rugby; supports rehab and competitive members.
The unfair advantage: an in-house senior physiotherapist. Injuries don’t mean stopping. Kayleigh builds the workaround into your training. Almost no gym in the country has this.

Before you decide

We’re not for everyone.
Here’s who we suit.

CFL will fit you like a glove if…

  • You want coaching, not just access to equipment. Someone watching your form, every single class.
  • You’ve been meaning to start for months (or years) and you know a deadline of 21 days is exactly what you need.
  • You want to walk into a room where people know your name and notice when you’re not there.
  • You’re happy to be a beginner for a bit. Everyone here was.
  • You see the trial as the start of something longer.

We’d point you elsewhere if…

  • You want the cheapest possible gym. That’s PureGym, and it’s very good at being cheap. Their business is numbers; ours is relationships.
  • You want to train alone with headphones in and speak to nobody. You’d hate it here, because people will talk to you constantly.
  • You want a magic fix without turning up. CrossFit Leamington does not offer any shortcuts to your health and fitness.
  • You’re after somewhere to pose for the mirror. There’s no posing and there are no egos here, just coaching, a scoreboard and a wall of flags.

If the left column sounds like you, that’s your answer. If the right column does, no hard feelings and good luck.

Before you ask

The questions everyone asks
before walking in

Wrong way round. “You don’t have to be fit to start, but you do have to start to get fit!” Every workout is scaled to your level. Same class, same clock, your weights and your pace. Alan couldn’t talk through his first row. He’s still here.
One coached hour: a proper warm-up, a skill or strength piece (we teach real skills, from Olympic weightlifting to gymnastics to how to use a kettlebell), then the workout. A coach briefs it, scales it to you, and watches your form throughout. Classes are capped at 30 with an average of 22, so nobody disappears in the crowd.
It’s practically our speciality. Our Head of Physiotherapy, Kayleigh-Anne Steele, is a master’s-qualified ex-NHS senior physio, and she’s in the gym, not in a clinic across town. Tell us what hurts and we’ll build the workaround into your training from day one.
Jim is 61 and competes with guys less than half his age. Kam’s consultant asked what she does because her bones are so strong. One member started at 50 with mobility limitations. In Jim’s words: “You’re never too old. Get out of the chair and do something.”
Plenty of CFL mums have. Laura trained until about 36 weeks and was back ten weeks after an emergency C-section. Every movement gets adapted to you, and always with your midwife’s or GP’s blessing. Tell us where you’re at and we’ll take it from there.
Classes run from 5:30am to 8:30pm, Monday to Friday, plus Saturday mornings, with classes right through the day. Kids (7 to 11) and Teens (12 to 16) train Mondays and Thursdays. Your trial covers all the adult classes.
Unit 3, Caswell Road, Sydenham Industrial Estate, Leamington Spa CV31 1QF. It’s easy to find us on the estate, and we’ll send directions when you book. You’ll hear us before you see us. Look for the Spartan helmet.
It’s simple: attend 6 or more classes within your 21 days and your £50 comes back: refunded in full, or credited towards Foundations if you stay. Six classes in three weeks is twice a week. If you show up, the trial costs you nothing.
If you love it (statistically likely), the next step is Foundations: a supported first month with 1-to-1 PT foundation sessions to sharpen your technique, then ordinary membership. Your trial £50 comes straight off the price. If it’s not for you, you walk away, hopefully having got £50 back and met some lovely people.

The door is the hard part.
You’re already looking at it.

Adele stood outside and nearly went home. Bekki wishes she’d done it earlier. Aideen’s only question is why she didn’t start years ago. In 21 days, you’ll know exactly what they mean.
