Many athletes use CrossFit for overall fitness and then use it as a base to prepare for HYROX races and events - especially for functional strength and varied conditioning.


What is CrossFit?

Crossfit is a general body workout for overall fitness. It combines weights, cardio, gymnastics, strength training and varied conditioning. No workout is the same, keeping your body on it's toes! There is a real sense of community and support from members.


What is Hyrox?

Hyrox is a structured race event that is sponsored/ branded. It is a competitive event that is fixed in format. It enables its competitors to gain world wide global time ranking. It concentrates on functional strength & endurance throughout and is typically individual races.


Are you fit to train?

We can help to get you in your best shape for training and competitions alike.


What's the purpose of Prehab (maintain)?

To keep an athlete healthy, functional and performing well and to prevent injury or recurrence.


We'd love to invite you to our Clinic for a Prehab (preventative) assessment, designed CrossFit/ Hyrox Athletes of all levels.

Whether you train Crossfit and/or compete in Hyrox events. You need to be mentally and physically prepared. We can help by looking at your posture, core strength and any imbalances that may affect you through a simple assessment.


What does an assessment involve?

  • A full assessment of your body mechanics that encorporate CrossFit/ Hyrox.

  • Identification of any imbalances or areas for improvement, such as:

    • Lower back

    • Shoulders

    • Elbows and wrists

    • Hips, knees and ankles

  • A bespoke treatment plan, combining hands-on manual therapy with corrective and performance-based exercises

  • Review of any previous injuries, niggles or ongoing conditions that may affect your performance


What's the purpose of Rehab?

To restore function after an injury or surgery and safely return the athlete to sport.

Do you know the benefits of Sports Massage for Crossfit and Hyrox?

Maintenance Sports Massage is a MUST for Crossfit and Hyrox athletes.

Think of it as a regular MOT for your body — helping you stay gym-ready.

Just like cars, our bodies need regular servicing — in fact we need MORE!



Crossfit and Hyrox places repetitive load through the knees, ankles, shoulders, forearms, hips and calves.

Regular maintenance helps to:

  • Reduce muscle tightness and fatigue

  • Improve mobility and recovery

  • Lower the risk of injury

  • Keep your body performing consistently


Our goal is to keep you training pain-free, stronger and for longer.
