FOLLOWING a successful launch in September, a gym in Woolston is celebrating its progress with a call to arms for those thinking of getting into fitness.

"Now is the time to change your life," say the owners of CrossFit Warrington, Sarah Lunn and Sian Edwards.

Sarah and Sian opened the Woolston gym officially at the beginning of September, and it is now moving from strength to strength.

The gym is one of the newest editions of the nationwide CrossFit family, and to mark the successful launch of Warrington's site, the gym is welcoming the head of CrossFit UK to its gym.

Karl Steadman has been involved with CrossFit, alongside his wife, Rachel, for more than 15 years.

CrossFit Warrington's owners said: "Do you imagine yourself as a person who can run around after your kids without getting out of breath?

"Pick up both heavy bags of shopping without thinking about it, or worrying about your back? Grab your suitcase from the conveyor without struggling?

"This is what we do, we help you to get fit for life."

The gym will be hosting an event with CrossFit's head on Wednesday, November 9, at 6pm.

Since opening in September, the gym has had rave reviews, from its coaching and personal training staff to the atmosphere and environment of the workout space.

One member of CrossFit Warrington, Lisa, said: "I have now been a member for four months and I can honestly say it's been the best decision I have made in terms of improving my fitness and surprising myself with my capabilities!

"I was very apprehensive at first as I thought I was too old - 43 - and CrossFit was for super fit athletes walking around on their hands and swinging off ropes, but I was wrong."

Another member, Emily, added: "It's a great community to be a part of, it's really welcoming and supportive!

"The coaches are really knowledgeable and are always able to scale different movements to your ability."

CrossFit Warrington will be hosting a 'What is CrossFit?’ talk on Wednesday, November 9 at 6pm with the Head of CrossFit UK, Karl Steadman. 

The gym is located at Unit 14 Greys Court, Woolston, WA1 4SH.
