TWOTON CrossFit

Whilst reasonably fit and sporting in my youth, a mainly sedentary job resulted in me feeling the need for more than gentle walks. I live in rural NE Scotland and we have the luck of having a local CrossFit gym. About 18 months ago, aged 69, I enrolled in their twice weekly classes tailoring the WOD for an over 60 group. No athlete, but I feel fitter with better stamina, more strength and suppleness for daily life. But experience has taught me that missing a few classes will result in extra suffering when getting back!Down in Taunton for two weeks I was pleased to find TwoTon CrossFit. It’s not one of those gyms packed with all the latest equipment and leaving you to get on with it. TwoTon has all it needs for CrossFit but the real gem is found in the classes and tuition. I joined a few morning WOD groups, initially with trepidation when I realised I was clearly the eldest there. But, in CrossFit classes, the only benchmark is yourself. Jon ensures everyone understands each exercise, breaking it down into its individual elements, and keeps a careful eye on everyone - and quickly steps in with individual coaching to help each person get the best out of it - and provides the encouragement essential to pushing yourself. And working in a group, even with mixes abilities, it’s also a nice social experience.If you’re in the Taunton area and looking to improve your strength, flexibility and stamina for daily life, I recommend giving TwoTon a try.

I've been doing Crossfit for nearly 10 years and visited many different gyms in that time. I joined TWOTON after moving to the area last year. The coaching here is top-notch - knowledgeable, motivating, and there's a genuine invest in everyone's progress. You will receive excellent guidance tailored to your individual needs, making even the most challenging workout approachable. What truly sets this place apart is its incredibly friendly environment. It's a welcoming community where everyone, regardless of their fitness level, feels supported and encouraged. The positive vibes and camaraderie make every session enjoyable and something to look forward to. I can highly recommend TWOTON for anyone looking to elevate their fitness.

First time at a CrossFit gym and it was fantastic. A very welcoming coach and a good atmosphere, looking forward to attending more CrossFit classes worldwide in the future.

Twoton is an incredibly supportive and exciting place to be. I shy away from the gym as I feel self conscious, but I didn’t once feel that here. The coaches and other athletes cheer you on and there is a real community feel. Absolutely love this gym and cannot recommend it enough!

Great box - really well equipped space with two units and fresh well cared for equipment. Lovely ethos. Thanks for having us to visit!

I dropped in last Friday morning after staying over in Taunton for work. I try to find a CrossFit box and book a hotel nearby when working away. Jon the owner was really friendly and welcoming and the box has a great selection of kit. I visited during the Open 23.2 and had a great session. All members were really welcoming and supportive so I’d throughly recommend this Box!

I joined TWOTON CrossFit for a week while I was doing a training course and I’m very glad I did. Great group of people and great coaches.I would definitely recommend this box to anyone interested in CrossFit.
