CrossFit Solent

CrossFit Solent strives to be a safe space for EVERYONE. Irrespective of age, race, ethnicity or nationality, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ability level or disability, neurotype, or religion.

To show our support for the LGBTQ+ community 🏳️‍🌈 we'll be celebrating Southampton Pride weekend with a dedicated Pride WOD on Saturday 29 August 🏳️‍🌈

Pride is a celebration, but it's also a reminder of why spaces like this matter — rooted in the fight for the right to simply be who you are, from Stonewall in 1969 to today.

It would be great to see as many of you as possible dressed up in colourful clothing that day 🌈 Come and sweat with pride!

🎉 A massive HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our Head Coach, Simone! 🎂🥳

From the entire coaching team and all of our amazing members, we hope you have an absolutely awesome day!

Thank you for everything you do for the gym, the coaches and our community. Your leadership and passion are a huge part of what makes Solent so special. ❤️💪

Now go and celebrate the only way we know how with a great WOD class and maybe a wine or two!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIMONE! 🎉🎈🎂

Good luck to all our members hitting the floor at this weekend! 💪 You've put int the work to qualify, now to have some fun!

Go get it, team! We're cheering you on every step of the way.

🎉 500 CLUB – IRENE! 🎉

Huge congratulations to Irene on hitting 500 classes! 🙌

We've loved watching Irene’s journey. She’s made loads of new friends along the way, grown in confidence and tackled things she never thought she’d be able to do - including that first box jump and her first pull-ups! 💪

She’s worked so hard on her Olympic lifting technique 🏋️‍♀️ and is always keen to learn and improve.

Irene is one of those members who is just a pleasure to have in the gym - friendly, really coachable, works hard without any complaints.

500 classes is a pretty impressive milestone, but it’s everything that’s happened along the way that makes it special.

Well done Irene! Here’s to the next 500! ❤️🙌

Let's go!

Age is just a number. Fitness is for life 💪

Our Legends Class is for anyone 55 and over, no matter your starting point or fitness level. Whether you're getting moving again after time off, coming back from an injury, or just want to feel stronger day to day, this class meets you where you are.

Each session includes a proper warm-up, focused technique work and a great workout, built around strength, mobility, balance and coordination. No previous experience needed and no minimum standard to hit.

It's not just about getting stronger. It's about getting fitter, healthier, and joining a friendly, motivating community along the way 🙌

Because staying strong isn't just about fitness, it's about independence. Carrying your shopping. Getting up off the floor with ease. That's what we're training for.

Come and give it a go. Your future self will thank you ✨

It's here! The week steps onto the competition floor at the CrossFit Games 🥳

Embrace every moment. Trust the work you've put in. Enjoy the experience!

We'll be shouting at the livestream, refreshing the leaderboard, and cheering you on from the other side of the world. We couldn't be prouder to have you representing our community 🙌

The whole of CrossFit Solent is behind you 🤩✨
