Glevum Fitness

Fantastic experience: Hi everyone My name is lou and I'm 41yrs old. I have two children, a son who's 10yrs and a daughter who's 6yrs. I've decided that this year is going to be my year to do something for me and get back into shape, certainly after putting on 5 stone with each pregnancy! Now that my children are both in school and I only work part time,I have some time to be able to do this. I've always found that I'm much more focused when doing classes and have been looking at lots of gyms to see what they have to offer. I came across your website, and it looked right up my street. I'm now 4wks in, and I'm loving it. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. A big thanx to Caroline for making me feel at ease on my first session. The instructors have been amazing and never let me give up. I'm constantly being pushed, which is just what I need. Hopefully, I will get to meet all of you at some point. If your thinking of joining a gym then I strongly recommend glevum.

Fantastic experience: Had a great year since joining, made so many improvements and hit targets along the way. The environment is second to none and all abilities can enjoy every individual session. Wouldn’t look anywhere else

Fantastic experience: Since joining Glevum gym the physical and mental changes I have seen in myself are amazing. Working out used to feel like a chore and something I had to do. I was unable to stick to an exercise routine, finding myself yoyoing in and out of gyms. Now I look forward to my workouts, I can feel myself getting physically fitter and stronger, as well as growing in confidence outside of the gym too. Over the past year Glevum have supported me tremendously through pregnancy, a torn ligament and now post partum recovery. They have adapted workouts so I am still able to attend the classes I love, even while on crutches and navigating my ever changing ability while pregnant. The variety of workouts and scaling options is just one of the reasons I love this gym, along with their encouraging and fun approach to get the most out of the sessions. I'll be forever thankful to have found such a wonderful community full of knowledgeable, kind coaches and supportive, friendly members!

Fantastic experience: Since joining Glevum my confidence has grown in movements that used to terrify me. Everyday people are encouraging, Welcoming and kind. Im hotting more pbs and have made some great friends in a place that feels like home

Fantastic experience: Stopped in here for a ‘drop in’ CrossFit WOD with my sister who is a member, while I was traveling. The 7am coach was very welcoming as were the members. The workout was explained well and movement patterns / expectations were priority. Therefore giving opportunity to anyone who needed to sub for something else in order to still get a good workout. The facility was super clean and has all the equipment needed and expected. Will definitely be back when in town and I hope others make the effort to train here. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Having been a member since January can't recommend highly enough. Never really been a "gym" person but the workouts are a great mix of manageable, challenging and fun. The atmosphere is great as well with all the other members being really supportive. Probably shouldn't have waited until the mid life crisis to join!

Fantastic experience: Started training with the Glevum team in August. They really look after you as an individual and make sure your training is catered to you, your wellbeing and progression. Everyone as been so friendly and supportive. Their crossfit daily programs and great communication in person and via email, really helps you stay motivated. I was never really motivated by doing my own personal gym sessions, preferring to be outdoors. I can however really recommended Glevum to anyone who has a gym membership they never use, or are not sure about going to the gym because you need a little more guidance, or just giving it a go, you won't regret it. Thanks everyone for making me feel so welcome.

Fantastic experience: I joined in June and it’s been a game changer for me. Was apprehensive going into my first testers but Walt and the whole team there made me feel welcome. Since then the community; friends and workouts have made it somewhere I can’t wait to get back to for the next session. Fitter, stronger, happier. What else could you want!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Glevum fitness since March this year. The only thing I would change is that I wish I had joined earlier! Dan, Walt, Rosie, Chris, Kevin, Coops and all of the Glevum members have made me feel so welcome in a place where my biggest worry was “would I fit in?” Every session is challenging but energising, all abilities are welcome and nobody gets left behind. The workouts are varied enough to keep you excited and all you need to do is book in and turn up. All the hard work of planning the workout is done for you. If you need help with nutrition you can enroll in extra sessions. If the coaches notice you’re not feeling yourself they will get in touch or if you’re slacking they are always there to hand you an extra couple of plates for your dumbbell! I can’t really recommend Glevum fitness enough. If you are not sure then give it a go, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Glevum is great! I’ve been attending for over a year now and enjoyed every second! The coaches are knowledgeable and they tailor workouts to all fitness levels. The community is supportive and welcoming, making each session something to look forward to. Highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to push their limits and achieve their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Coaches and members are super friendly. The workouts are challenging but scalable to all levels of fitness. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: As someone who is recovering from an eating disorder, building a healthy relationship with excercise is so important, and Glevum is really helping me to achieve that. The coaches and others in the class are so warm and welcoming and I come away each time feeling so happy with myself. The inclusive environment means I never feel any pressure to over exert myself and I know that whatever I achieve in a session is enough and something to be celebrated. No matter your ability each excercise can be adapted which has helped me to set sustainable goals for the future.

Fantastic experience: The most welcoming, encouraging gym you’ll ever find. The best community and the coaches are total experts in their field! Completely transformed my physical and mental health since joining!

Fantastic experience: This gym is one of a kind, work outs are serious and considered yet there is a total positive family orientated feel where everyone is welcome, no matter what level! The gym is also gorgeous. Even the bathrooms are stylish and have really considerate items like hair bobbles!

Fantastic experience: Joining Glevum gym was the best decision! Super friendly coaches and great atmosphere. Be careful though, it's addictive! I planned coming twice a week and very quickly realised I need more. Thanks Glevum!

Fantastic experience: I don't have many regrets in life but I do regret not joining Glevum Fitness sooner! This place is incredible and has changed my whole perspective on how I train and build my own fitness levels. The team at Glevum Fitness foster an environment which allows you to grow, learn and develop your own fitness pathway. In the short time I've been a member I already feel physically fitter, stronger and my mindset is also so much better as a result of coming here. I'm hitting PBs in the one to one coaching sessions they offer (well worth doing alongside the regular classes). The weights I'm lifting now I never would have got to without the amazing coaching and safe environment which you get at Glevum. The group classes/sessions are immense fun, well structured and can be scaled to meet your own fitness level. All the coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly too. I look forward to coming to all the classes! I recommend Glevum Fitness to you all, it's the best!!!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere. Friendly and supportive staff

Fantastic experience: I visited a lot of gyms in the area and Glevum Fitness was by far the best value for exactly what i required on my better lifestyle journey. The Glevum Team are most welcoming with fitness regimes that carer for all. I felt a Personal Trainer was what i needed so i was teamed up with Chris his training programme was interesting and varied.. I highly recommend Glevum Fitness a most professional outfit..

Fantastic experience: I have recently joined Glevum Fitness, and I’m loving it! Everyone is super friendly and really made me feel so welcome! I’ve not been to a Cross Fit gym before, and I was a little nervous, but I shouldn’t have been as everyone has helped me out and been really encouraging in class. The staff are great always checking in with you to make sure you’re happy with what you are doing and enjoying the session. I’d really recommend Glevum Fitness for anyone thinking of joining.

Fantastic experience: After spending a year at a commercial gym, I felt I needed a change of scenery and somewhere to be challenged. This gym has ticked the boxes. Having 4 1-2-1 sessions to start helped to see what I was capable of. Then after the completion of the sessions it was into the planned group sessions. Each one very different and challenging. The coaches are always welcoming when you walk in, spending time to ask you about your day and genuinely wanting to find more about. The group sessions are fantastic as you get encouraged and pushed by others. You get to log your results via an app which brings the competitive edge out but also allows you to see what the session is going to have in store. As if that isn’t enough this gym does social events: Christmas party, Halloween and bring a buddy weeks. Wish I had made the jump to this gym a year ago!!

Fantastic experience: 6 Months in to Glevum and I could not recommend it enough. Feeling healthier and all round fitter and stronger within a few months. If you have no experience please give this a try like I did. No experience needed and help and advise is always available. Its great to see they have a range of packages and the class options and timings are perfect from early to late. The kit is amazing and I love the challenges of all the workouts. Its great there is both cardio and strength performance classes available. Plus the team are all super friendly and always there for help. Definitely recommend coming down for a session to try out for anyone new.

Fantastic experience: Grate Gym

Fantastic experience: Since joining Glevum Fitness 1 month ago I have already experienced dramatic changes and my attitude towards training has taken a sharp turn positively. A gym where the coaches are incredibly approachable and very knowledgeable. It was made so easy for me to join and everyone I have met so far has been welcoming and eager to help. Whatever level you are at ,the exercises are tailored to suit so you don't feel left behind. Best decision I have made in a long time!

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend this gym enough. Great people and a great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: After joining, and not attending (!) many gyms over the years I felt I needed something different. My confidence was low and shyness had set in so I looked for a gym where I would feel at ease. The staff at Glevum made me feel immediately welcome. There is no pressure and all the workouts are personal to each individual. I have never met such friendly people who are all happy to help. I have only been going a few weeks but already feel at home and have enjoyed all my workouts so far. I'm so glad I walked through the door of Glevum and look forward to continuing to improve my fitness levels in the moving forward .

Fantastic experience: Ever since walking into Glevum Fitness and meeting with one of the coaches Chris, I knew that it was a different place. Over the years I have been the usual new years resolution gym member, determined to make 'this' year the one I finally lose weight and get fit, only to quit within weeks of joining. I have now been a member of Glevum Fitness for just under 3 months, and I have changed from a person who would easily talk myself out from going to a traditional gym with a 'I'll go tomorrow' self lie, in to the person who looks forward to the next session at Glevum and is disappointed when I can not go. This is I believe is down to the set up Dan and Rosie have at Glevum, both in the the type of training they programme for their members, and the passion and personal dedicate they and all the coaches put into both the gym and members. Dan, Rosie and all the coaches really want the members to reach their goals and enjoy the training they come for. They have created a high quality and professional set up as well as foster a community type atmosphere with all the members. I have met lots of new people there and very quickly felt part of the gym. I have trained with and alongside many of them and there is help, support and encouragement at hand all the time. There is no ego in the gym only respect and support. Everyone is friendly, there is no pressure only encouragement and there is no hard sell spiel when you enquire or pop in. I can not say enough good things about Gleuvm Fitness, it has certainly changed me mindset and approach to my fitness and because of this I am making strides towards a healthier and fitter lifestyle that is sustainable. You get out what you put in, but what Glevum does is really give you the opportunity to succeed in your fitness goals. Give it a try, give them a ring and pop in.

Fantastic experience: I joined up with Glevum Fitness as I have not been feeling myself since going through the Perimenopause. Chris has been supportive and very welcoming and I look forward to seeing my results. I already feel stronger.

Fantastic experience: Master your movement and challenge yourself in new ways - that was my aim going into this. Now by no means am I new to training, but with Glevum everyday feels like a a school day - I'm learning new things about myself and my body. I've always wanted to learn Olympic lifts, but was afraid of injury without proper training, and I wanted to integrate Aerobic and Anaerobic training concepts into one, but sometimes you just hit a wall. With the Glevum Fitness community you are encouraged to think less and move more, they do the thinking for you and you benefit from their expert advice. The tweaks can make all the difference. Considering how much we spend on pointless material things in this day and age, I would say I'm glad I've made this investment into my health journey. Health is Wealth and Glevum Fitness is a great place to re-invent yourself. Thanks to Dan and the team.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Glevum gym since November 22 .Everyone is so friendly and welcoming I couldn’t imagine not going.

Fantastic experience: Great community, friendly coaches and programming that produces results! Glevum has converted my health from a chore to a habit, and an addictive one at that. 18 months ago, I was struggling to stay motivated doing solo bodybuilding-style ‘fitness’. Having done some kids classes at Glevum back in 2014, I knew it was a great gym and decided to give it another go. Since I started I’ve… - gained 4kg muscle - lost 4.5% body fat - been able to keep up training at CrossFit gyms in Bath, Copenhagen and Sydney - got my mum and brother to join and seen their health improve - been happier and more motivated outside of the gym Easily the best decision I’ve ever made for my health. I’m extremely grateful to Glevum for the community and gym they’ve built. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Fantastic experience: First time joining a cross fit gym and it's been amazing. All the instructors have been great, and everyone makes you feel welcome. Big shout out to Liam for the one on one session and chris as well. I have just started my second full month, and I can already feel the benefit in my fitness level and motivation in going to gym. Great gym

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to train. The coaches are friendly, approachable and are always super keen to help people out. They genuinely take an interest in every person in every class and are constantly motivating and coaching everyone as they go. Wish I’d joined sooner!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at glevum for over 5yrs now and it is like a second family. If you want train with friendly and supportive people who motivate you then you will get all that and more at glevum. They’ve been there to support me with an ongoing injury which has helped my motivation to still train and get fit

Fantastic experience: Thank God for Glevum! Being the wrong side of 50, overweight, unfit & carrying some old injuries, I was very reluctant to join 'yet another gym' that I was sure wouldn't work for me. How wrong I was - Glevum is world's apart from 'those' gyms! The expert instruction, support & encouragement from the coaches during the initial 1:1 personal training sessions allowed me to get to grips with everything in my own time, discover exactly what I was capable of & boosted my confidence enough to transition into group classes. The absolute best bit (for me, anyway!) about the Glevum approach is that every single exercise can be scaled/adapted to suit you personally, so all workouts are 100% accessible: you can easily accommodate your dodgy back or stiff knees etc & work up to the more challenging options as your fitness improves. There's no judgement whatsoever; everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming & supportive of each other. It's like no gym environment I've ever experienced before & I only wish I'd discovered Glevum years ago!

Fantastic experience: The only place that’s made me stick to going to the gym. Amazing, supportive coaches and members, couldn’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: The best coaches and the best community focussed gym in Gloucestershire! The whole team are so supportive and genuinely want to push everyone to improve every session. The coaches not only have a fantastic understanding of how to coach all key movements, but also understand the difficulties people have if they haven’t performed the movements before. I can’t fault anyone involved with this gym and wish I had found them sooner!

Fantastic experience: It’s more than just a gym . 7 years on and I still look forward to going.

Fantastic experience: I joined Glevum a few weeks ago.. it’s a really friendly place and the staff are lovely, welcoming and very encouraging. This is the first time I have stuck with a gym, joined others and lasted about 2 visits before giving up!! Yes it’s hard sometimes to get motivated to go but when I get there I really enjoy it. BTW, Walt’s the best, great sense of humor, great coach….

Fantastic experience: I saw Rosie's post on Facebook about helping people get fit & healthy and had been wanting to do something for quite a while. I spoke with Rosie on the phone and she was really warm, welcoming and understanding. I hadn't done any fitness for 13 years apart from a few Zumba classes here and there and was sooo nervous about embarassing myself with how unfit and over weight i was. The first time i arrived at the gym i didnt know what to expect and was a bit overwhelmed but the minute i opened the door i was greeted by Dan with a huge smile and he used my name without an introduction which made me feel at ease straight away. My first session was all about getting to know each other and finding out what i was capable of (which was more than i thought) and i'm not gonna lie it was tough but i felt really great after, like i had achieved something. I was still a bit nervous and unsure but the people there are so supportive and encouraging with no judgement and by my 4th session i am starting to really enjoy it and feel so good that i made the call. If you feel like me my advice, be brave and take that first step by calling Glevum Fitness, i promise you wont regret it.

Fantastic experience: Always have a great time at Glevum, the classes are engaging and the coaches are great at scaling the workouts to suit all abilities. Can always be a bit daunting going into new gyms/classes but felt very welcome and everyone is really friendly. Gave me a great base to work off and the 1 on 1’s at the start prepare you really well for the classes. Can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing, positive and supportive team of personal trainers. It really feels more like a family and although I’ve only been there for a short time, I can say that you will always feel welcome and look forward to coming back.

Fantastic experience: I was a completely new to CrossFit and after years of on-and-off memberships to ‘normal gyms’ I decided I wanted to commit to something different, that’s when I found Glevum. I have been so so happy ever since I’ve joined! I was very intimidated by weights and big barbells at other gyms so would keep to trusty cardio based workouts (that I never actually enjoyed). Glevum is a class-based gym which provides me with exactly what I need; accountability and encouragement. I cannot speak highly enough about the team, they are there to tell me when I’m doing a great job, when I need to push myself harder and to help me when I’m doing a movement wrong. Thank you guys so much!!

Fantastic experience: It’s going to be very hard to put into words exactly what Glevum Fitness has done for me. I joined last year, unfit and overweight, having not done any exercise for as long as I can remember and desperately looking for a gym where I wouldn’t feel “I don’t fit in here…” From the very first PT sessions with Liam and Walt I was coaxed out of my “I can’t do that” mindset and a whole new world of exercise opened up for me that genuinely gives me so much joy! I have more energy than ever before; I don’t get out of breath for no reason; I enjoy more activities with my family as a result of the improvements to my health and fitness and the changes to my shape and muscle tone is an unexpected bonus. I attend 3-4 classes a week as well as 2 one-2-one sessions each month and would attend more if it wasn’t for work getting in the way! As Glevum is so brilliant at adapting the set workout for the individual’s ability and fitness level, you always feel that you have fully taken part with everyone else in the class and finish the workout so thrilled at what you have achieved. I know I would not have embraced exercise if I had joined a traditional gym and not had the support and encouragement that you get from everyone at Glevum (coaches and members). Dan and Rosie have created an amazing “community” feeling at Glevum, it really is a home from home for me now and I couldn’t imagine it not being a part of my life.

Fantastic experience: Glevum Fitness is a truly wonderful and welcoming community. I've been a member for just over a year and Dan and Rosie really go out of their way to make this a gym for EVERYONE. In their recruitment, advertising, programmes, social events, the lot. Whatever your age, size, fitness or experience levels, this can be your gym family. Yes, you. ❤

Fantastic experience: Fantastic and friendly, Dan and the team are great at communicating and respond really quickly to questions and queries. There is a great range of people and abilities at Glevum, from just starting out / returning from an injury up to super fit and experienced but everyone I have met and spoken to has been friendly and encouraging, even though I've only been a member for a short time, it feels like years. The real theme of Glevum is inclusion adjusting classes or exercises to suit and them help to gently push and encourage to the next level.

Fantastic experience: I hadn't been to a gym for a very long time, and just doing my own thing wasn't working for me. So getting in touch with the team at Glevum and starting the introduction programme was a game-changer. The programme is well thought out, with 1-2-1 coaching to introduce techniques and terminology, transitioning to small, friendly classes. The coaches help tailor each exercise to suit individual circumstances - maximising training benefit and avoiding injury. Ultimately, it combined the structure I needed with support and motivation from the coaches. As a result, I walk out of each session with a huge sense of achievement and looking forward to the next one.

Fantastic experience: Glevem is a brilliant gym full of friendly, welcoming people and fantastic coaches. I arrived two years ago, unhealthy, unfit and unsure whether I would fit in as I assumed it was a place full of superfit people who would be able to do everything. But everyone is on their own journey and at different stages and from my first session I felt so supported that it has been really easy to make it part of my weekly routine. I wish I had listened to my husband and joined years ago!

Fantastic experience: At the beginning of August 2021, I decided to join Glevum Fitness: CrossFit in order to improve overall physical and mental health. The coaches are absolutely superb and go to great lengths to provide personal fitness and nutrition goals. The technical aspects of using the equipment properly combined with both group and individual 1-1 tuition is brilliant. These guys know how to provide constant support and guidance through a gradual transformation in body composition. It’s probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and looking forward to the journey ahead. #Dan Crisp #Walt Greenwood #Rosie Walker #Liam Mustoe-linnane #Kev Smith

Fantastic experience: I've never much enjoyed working out but was recommended Glevum. I've only been coming a few weeks and it is changing my life. Every class is small and the instructor enables each person to work to their capabilities whilst still encouraging new goals. For the first time, I actually look forward to gym sessions and I can feel my fitness improving. A great team of people too and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely incredible gym, professional coaches and a friendly atmosphere. This place can really change your life for the better!

Fantastic experience: Just finished my 6 week induction with Glevum and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of joining. Liam was great in 1-2-1's helping me get comfortable with the movements and checking technique was looking good. The group classes were great, everyone was friendly and all the coaches helped with scaling when needed. Options either side of work for times also meant it was easy to fit in.

Fantastic experience: Joining Glevum Fitness was a life changing experience for me. The best thing about this place is the felling you join a family rather than a gym. Keep up the good work team.

Fantastic experience: One of the best Crossfit gyms I've been to. Everyone is so warming and welcoming, the coaching is great and they really went all out to make sure we stayed on track during the tough lockdown periods. Would recommend Glevum to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I really recommend this lovely place to everyone ❤️ This CrossFit gym is amazing and it’s not possible that you will feel lost in there. Big thank you for all the coaches who are always helpful and always motivate us to be better version of ourselves. Not only my body has became stronger but also my head has changed a lot. I started to focus more on the progress and even when my steps are very little , I’m happy about every little goal.

Fantastic experience: If your looking to find somewhere to start your fitness journey or to restart it, cannot recommend Glevum Fitness highly enough!! I am a very anxious and nervous person, the whole team at Glevum are really just the best, from the moment you walk in you will be greeted with a really warm welcome and they put your nerves at ease. The team are amazing they get to know you.. to the team your not just another sale or number through the door.. they actually care about you and want to see you achieve your goals welcomed with open arms to the Glevum family . Keep up the great work!!

Fantastic experience: The best investment I ever made for myself was to join Glevum. After consistently using the gym for 2 years, it's become the best hour of my day. The help from the coaches is at the highest level. From doing a year long nutrition course to build healthy habits, to working with coaches to improve my body composition. If you want to be the best version of yourself, this is the place to start.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic, supportive gym. Great coaches and a welcoming community.

Fantastic experience: Why I didn't join sooner?! The positivity and smiles are infectious, I've never felt a welcome like it at a gym before. The staff are great (big shout out to Liam for being so patient and informative), the facilities & equipment are great and I haven't looked back once since joining. It's helped me both physically and mentally, it has become my favorite time of the week and I look forward carrying on with the hard work and seeing the results!

Fantastic experience: I joined Glevum in 2013 and have been a continuous member up to the present day. From a young age I have played lots of different sports but mainly rugby. At the age of 34 I retired from rugby due to injury. It was at this time that I was introduced to Glevum by a friend. As soon as I started to train at Glevum, I completely fell in love with the gym. The whole structure appealed to me and all the different techniques and movements. With a combination of running, cycling and rowing put together with weights and workouts . It has made me feel so much better about myself over the years and I enjoy every single moment I am able to attend the gym. The owners at Glevum are Dan and Rosie, and they are the most amazing gym instructors. They are extremely supportive and are willing to help you every second of the way. Rosie is also a fantastic nutrition coach and which I am currently signed up to. I cannot thank Dan and Rosie enough for what they have done for me over the years and I will continue to be a member at Glevum for many more years to come. James Cooke

Fantastic experience: To put it simply - I love this gym! Having recently moved to this side of Gloucester, Glevum Fitness was the perfect location for me. I’ve only been a member for about 2 months now but I feel like I’ve been welcomed straight in! The coaches are passionate and great at what they do; and they also care about you as an individual too. All of the other members are so friendly, all of the kit is really high quality - I don’t think you could ask for more. It’s one of my favourite hours of the day and I always look forward to attending my next class. Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my 6 week on boarding. I learnt lots of new skills and each of the coaches were brilliant at making me feel at ease and being able to do all of the classes with confidence. Really great atmosphere at the gym with coaches and coachees alike. You never feel like you are out of your depth and everything can be scaled for your individual ability. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Having tried boot camps and gyms before I took the plunge and came into something I always looked down on, in all honesty! Was CrossFit for me? Never thought about functional fitness etc.... From a welcoming environment to a great bunch of people to train with, Glevum ticks the boxes for me. Great kids classes too Contact the team for further information and to get involved

Fantastic experience: Im not the type of person to normally write reviews whether its products iv purchased or hotels I have stayed in etc; but I joined RCG at the back end of 2018 and wanted to write a bit about my story because I am sure there are others in my position considering doing CrossFit but apprehensive to take the plunge. I retired from playing team sports which I had done all my life, and gave me many friends and helped keep me fit. I also held memberships at various gyms to keep myself "ticking over" but was never really confident in what I was doing, felt instructors were not approachable and so kept it safe and didn't try anything knew for fear of stares and embarrassment. I toyed with the idea of CrossFit but put it off as it is more expensive than regular gym memberships but with football finishing and the gym sessions not making any positive impact I knew I was starting to go backwards and needed something different and positive. I took the plunge with an intensive 5 x 1 to 1 session taster with Nick whilst witnessing CrossFit sessions going on around me. I was made to feel at ease immediately; still my first proper session was full of nerves, but it needn't be, each session starts with a warm up and literally a step by step guide of how to do the days workout with the excellent coaches who show you exactly what to do and scale it to the level you are at. My fear was over, I am now not shy to ask any of the coaches or fellow CrossFitters for guidance and tips, everyone is so friendly. I have now been doing regular weekly sessions which fit around my busy week. Each session brings something new, some sessions you find you have a good base for technique, whereas in some I have discovered I have minor muscular/flexibility issues which I would have never picked up on in my previous routine and which no doubt would have given me cause for concern in later years. Thanks to the coaches I am now addressing these issues. Fast forward to now, I am noticing improved results in both my flexibility and core strength which makes my everyday working life easier. Thinking back, team sports was what I missed a lot, and the people you train with here give me that camaraderie I have been missing. I cant recommend Reebok CrossFit Glevum enough. Steve - 41 years

Fantastic experience: I joined Glevum back in early Jan 2020. Initially it was just an enquiry about membership fee’s and services, opening times. I was invited over to the gym for an introduction and to discuss my personal goals and interests in joining a gym. To be honest I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the Glevium setup, I had no idea what CrossFit was but Dan explained the fundamentals of the sport and how the classes work each day, how the classes are lead by an instructor and they advise you on various techniques and scaling options so that you can complete the workouts within your abilities. I was offered a six week induction programme which covered one to one fundamentals training intially, unlimited access to the gym classes and access to a nutrition coach to help support with my personal health goals. Four months on and I can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made, i have seen results from weight loss, improved mobility, being naturally more active, making healthier food choices and personal wellbeing. I found going to the classes quite addictive as the programme changes every day with new exercises to challenge you. I really look forward to them, they are well planned out which is great for me as it means I can just focus on the workouts and not lose interest from the repetition. The coaches are very passionate about what they do and how they can help and develop their gym members to meet there health and fitness goals. This is also shared by the gyms community members, who have all been friendly and welcoming to me. To anyone thinking about making a change and wanting to improve their health, fitness and wellbeing you should really give the Glevium team a call. You will not regret it! To the Glevium coaching team thank so much for the help, guidance and support over the last 4 months. It really has been appreciated, I have seen some great results so far and looking forward to hitting the rest of my goals in the coming year.

Fantastic experience: I've always had a passion for fitness. However, my personal anxieties and lack of social confidence have moulded a bit of a lone ranger when it comes to training. My first impressions of the gym were nothing but positive. From my first 'no sweat' consultation I knew that this was where I would continue my fitness journey, but this time not alone! The incredible professionalism and knowledge of the coaches have opened my eyes to a much bigger picture regarding health and fitness. I have been provided with the tools and constant support, enabling me transform my mental attitude. I now find myself having an ever growing positive outlook on many aspects of my life and access to a whole new dimension of training. I must admit, I underestimated the concept & power of crossfit. However I feel that it has very suddenly began unlocking my real potential with no restraints. What's even more amazing is that it is naturally contagious. My familly are not only enjoying the 'new & improved' me, they are making their own perosnal positive changes. Through my commitment I have inspired others to achieve their own goals which I am very proud of. It is still early days for me and I have lots exciting things to learn. I am looking forward to meeting so many more of you and becoming even more inspired by the incredible community. I am certain I am just beginning a very exciting journey with Reebok Crossfit Glevum and I can't wait to continue along this path with all of you guys!

Fantastic experience: After leaving school my passion for any sport fell away. Then after seeing Glevum pop up on Facebook a few times. I thought, why not enquire and see what all the fuss is about. After speaking with Dan I went down to see a session unfold and I was blown away and thought 'I can not do this'. After completing the fundamentals and making some great friends and improvements through my fitness journey. After leaving the UK to go travelling shortly after beginning at Glevum, as soon as I returned to the UK I got straight back into it and felt like I had not left. AGAIN shortly after that I went travelling for the 2nd time and when I new I was coming back home I had to go back to the UK. This time with a new lease on life and getting stuck back into Crossfit, which meant I hounded Dan with emails about coming back. I was welcomed back with open arms from Dan, the coaches and the friends I had made. 100% recommend trying Crossfit and 110% recommend giving Glevum a try. It may seem from the outside a scary place to be, but can honestly say it's great and everything they say about it doesn't matter who you are, Crossfit can work for you. The community Glevum has built is second to none.

Fantastic experience: Like a lot of people, I came to CrossFit from a commercial gym that prioritised exercise for aesthetics and weight loss. It consisted of hours on the cross trainer or in front of the mirror with a pair of dumbbells doing bicep curls and poorly executed squats whilst plugged into your headphones feeling general dissatisfied and that you had never done enough. In the past 18 months since I have joined Glevum I have drastically improved my general fitness, weightlifting, strength and mobility (thanks Liam!) but that is nothing compared to the effect it will have on your mental health, general happiness and life satisfaction. What makes Glevum special is to be found in its coaches and community. It is rare in life that you will ever be in a room full of people where every person genuinely cares and wants you to succeed, where everyone has the same common goal and where you go and have the best hour of your day, without fail. It will undoubtedly put you in the best physical shape of your life but most importantly will change your whole life for the better.

Fantastic experience: My biggest regret is that I didn’t join sooner. I joined RCFG in December 2018 after my girlfriend had joined few months before and kept telling me how much I’d enjoy it. I was little unsure at first as heard a few people “not rate CrossFit” and I was currently a member at a commercial gym and had fallen out of love with training so I decided I’d take the plunge, give it ago and judge for myself. It has easily been one of the best thing I have done, not just physically but also mentally. Everyone at the box is so friendly and welcoming, both coaches and members make those first day nerves you get disappear straight away. My outlook on training and fitness goals have changed since joining RCFG. Before, all goals were based on how I looked. However since training at RCFG my outlook has changed and getting that first muscle up, double under, handstand hold or what ever that goal is will be a lot more rewarding than any image based gym goal, that’s for sure. The standard of coaching is brilliant and although this is the only CrossFit box I have been a member of, I have dropped into a few box’s in the uk and whilst on holiday, I seriously feel very lucky to be a member at RCFG. The coaches genuinely want to see you progress to become a fitter and stronger version of yourself. Most importantly they want to make sure you are having fun and enjoying training as well. You may hear about CrossFit being a community and before I joined I didn’t really believe it. All gyms I have been to before have been very clicky but that certainly isn’t the case with CrossFit and at RCFG. The hard work Dan, Rosie and the team put in day in day out really shows. Thanks to all you guys and thanks for letting me be a member at your box. If you’re in two minds about joining, pop along, stick your head through the door, say hi and you will never look back.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Glevum for 8 years now and it continues to be my happy place. Super supportive coaches and a great community spirit. Since the gym has been on Covid lockdown, Dan and Team spent days preparing free kit for every member to take home - so everyone could workout virtually at home.

Fantastic experience: I joined Glevum Crossfit initially on the recommendation of a friend. I thought first of all it was a place you should join when you are already at a medium fitness level, unlike myself at the time. After 5 training sessions I signed up for the first group training class. Initially I was nervous of this, though the trainers and the other people in the class made me feel at ease and I completed the class and felt very positive afterwards. I then carried on with the classes, on average three a week. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Crossfit and cannot see myself leaving it this gym. It has enabled me to lose weight, gain strength and confidence in class and outside of it, with other activities and exercise. Glevum Crossfit is a community of positive, trainers and people who train... It's very like a family with everybody encouraging you to improve and push yourself.

Fantastic experience: I joined Glevum just over 2 years ago, after being a member of a standard gym for over 15 years I was bored of spending 2-3 hours, 3 times a week doing the same workouts, treadmill, cross trainer etc. I did some research on line and found Glevum, I had never heard of crossfit so me and my husband just turned up one afternoon, we met Dan who shared such passion and knowledge about, fitness levels, nutrition and knew everyone that was in the class by name, we were wowed, never seen a coach like Dan before, we watched the class and although it wasnt what we expected we wanted to be part of this amazing place, to be trained by Dan and his coaches. Since we joined both me and my husband have lost over 2 stone in weight each, I am asthmatic and have been since I was 13 and for the first time in 37 years my inhalers were being reduced in strength, I couldn't run unaided without my inhaler, now I can do 5k without using it. I have never enjoyed training before but Glevum has the best community of people who are all supportive and coaches that help you achieve workouts to the best of my ability. Glevum, Dan, Rosie, Walt & Liam have turned my fitness onto a different level and there are not enough words to thank them, I look forward to continuing to workout for many years to come.

Fantastic experience: Don't sit and wonder whether you should start your journey, just book in. I wish I had not wasted months thinking about it. The fundamentals course with Walt was the most fantastic lead in to joining classes, by the time the day came for my first class I was actually quite excited! The class times make it easy to fit around any schedule. I feel shattered after every class but I always come away having done something different or pushed that bit harder. Dan, Rosie, Walt and Liam are super welcoming and everyone who goes to classes is super friendly!

Fantastic experience: Great facility to train in. The coaches are very knowledgeable and everyone is very friendly. Probably one of the best places to train in Gloucestershire if you want to improve your fitness and feel part of a community.

Fantastic experience: I joined RCFG 12 months ago by pure chance (and laziness) as it was the closest gym to where I work. At the time I didn't even know what CrossFit was. Like many others I had come from a background of doing little to no physical activity for 10+ years and spending my days sat behind a desk. I had little expectations for myself upon joining besides hopefully lose some weight and genuinely expected myself to give up or quit within 6 months. I expected myself to hate it but considered it a necessary evil. After the initial introduction sessions with Walt I jumped into the group workouts and have never in my life been met with such an accepting and welcoming community. I felt at home within just a few sessions and any pre-existing fears or aprehensions I had around a gym environment were gone. I started doing 1-1 personal training sessions with Walt in the New Year and started to see huge improvements in a short space of time. I was both surprised and impressed with the amount of time and effort Walt had put into preparing each session and tailoring it precisely to not only my goals but my current level of fitness and strength too. Each session pushed me perfectly to my limit but never broke me. Soon afterwards I took up Nutritional Coaching with Rosie as, despite knowing the obvious differences between what is good food and what is bad food, I had no idea what my body actually needed in terms of nutrition and what it used it for. After a few months it all came together - I genuinely feel like I have a solid understanding of how my body works and how to adapt and tailor my eating to suit what I'm doing on a daily or weekly basis. Again, the level of preparation and support received by Rosie during this was second to none. You really do feel that all of the coaches here are personally looking out for both your physical as well as mental wellbeing and will go out of their way to help you. To anyone out there who is looking for a gym whether it's to get yoursef into fitness for the very first time, as I did, or someone from another gym who wants more than to just turn up and lift weights by yourself for hours on end then I cannot recommend anywhere more than RCFG. You will come here to join a gym and leave having gained a family.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Glevum for around 4 months now and I am seeing some real noticeable results in my fitness, strength, mobility and general mood already. I had hit some kind of 'mid 30's slump' and having been injured from running for nearly a year, decided it was time to try and make a change. Coach Walt did my fundamentals and was quick to identify my weaknesses and what needed working on, and I'm reaping the benefits from my PT sessions with him. I'm now back running without pain and nearly at the same speed as before, without even doing any real running training! Being new to this kind of thing, I was very apprehensive about my first group class but i needn't have worried, as the coaches and my fellow members were so friendly and helpful. Anything you aren't currently able to do in the workout can be scaled, so everyone still works as hard as each other. Having previously disliked other conventional gyms, its refreshing what Dan, Rosie and everyone involved with this gym have created here. You'll be pushed, you'll be humbled, but more importantly, you'll have some fun. Just wish i had joined sooner.

Fantastic experience: Joining Reebok CrossFit Glevum changed my life for the better. I used to be a member of a commercial gym, whilst i enjoyed it I never really felt that i was getting anywhere. Glevum changed all that, I've since found my goals have changed from wanting to be big to now wanting to be more athletic be able to do some of the more challenging moves such a double unders and muscle ups. I've found the atmosphere at Glevum to be extremely supportive and the coaching to be first class. If you want to try something new, or make a life changing commitment to your health and fitness then join Glevum, you'll soon be calling it your second family, just as i do.

Fantastic experience: What can I say about RCFG ? A really special place, with brilliant coaches and an amazing community of like minded people. I was really wary of CrossFit before I tried it, assuming you had to be some kind of super fit machine but very quickly it was clear that anyone can get involved. I joined in June 2018, having tried pretty much everything else and was at the end of my tether. I struggled to get motivated to keep attending soulless gyms or lame circuit sessions and was close to accepting that at 40 years old, I'd have to live out my days frustrated and overweight. Glevum changed everything. I found a routine that works for me, training religiously 3 times a week, every week including the hugely enjoyable Saturday morning sessions. Not only have I lost weight (over 2 and a half stone in 10 months) but I've got stronger, fitter and more flexible which helps with everyday life - especially with 2 young kids. Other than the physical results, the main reason I keep coming back is the people. The coaches are welcoming and willing to scale exercises to suit your strength or skill level so you never feel out of your depth. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and I've found myself making sure I'm early for class so I can have a chat with the guys finishing the preceding session. That support and encouragement is what I was missing and having found it in abundance at RCFG, I'm in the best shape of my adult life. Thanks guys, you're the best.

Fantastic experience: What a breath of fresh air ! Joining CrossFit Glevum has been a great experience for me whilst enjoying hard workout sessions under professional guidance and knowledge . Good fun and a sense of community has motivated me to look forward to each and every session. I would recommend trying this out no matter what your standard of fitness !

Fantastic experience: I joined Glevum just over a year ago aged 57. I wanted to get fitter and feel healthier after years of doing very little. A year on and I am still surprising myself with what I am consistently achieving with them. From the minute I stepped through the doors for my first session I have felt welcome. The coaches are amazing, they enable you, encourage and support you throughout every session. I attend the mixed and ladies classes and really look forward to my workouts. I have never been made to feel that I am not capable or that I don't belong. I am looking forward to what lies ahead and achieving it with the support of the community at Glevum"

Fantastic experience: Love this place. After many years of doing the circuit around numerous gyms, both large name brands and small cosy gyms. I have never found the inspiration, atmosphere, support, coaching and friendliness that I finally found at Reebok CrossFit Glevum. As someone who came from a physically fit background (military, boxing, rugby amongst a few other things) I really let myself go over the years. This led me to being extremely apprehensive about giving CrossFit a go. I imagined everybody to look like you see in the magazines or websites and it wasn’t like that. Not at all! They looked and acted even better than I imagined. All shapes and sizes, all ages and abilities. I fit right in. Nobody judges, everyone has their own goals. I imagined everybody doing exercises I would never be able to do, I was wrong again. The coaches here are amazing at scaling the exercises to suit the individual. I’m full of aches and pains and I always feel amazed at how much I am able to do. Week1 I couldn't support my weight on my wrist. Week 4 I kicked up into a handstand against the wall! I never thought I could do it but the coaches...they knew something else. I hope reading this helps inspire you to come along and give it a go. Looking forward to working out with you. Oh yeah social side rocks too!

Fantastic experience: Friendly coaches and members. I dropped in while traveling on business and was made to feel very welcome.

Fantastic experience: Been a member for over 3 years, amazing community and fantastic coaching, cannot recommend Glevum highly enough!

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms you will ever come across.

Fantastic experience: So thrilled with my time at Reebok CrossFit Glevum so far! All the coaches are so friendly and knowledgeable and the classes are so welcoming. It’s a fab atmosphere of support that really encourages you to achieve things you may not have thought you could. The coaches are always amazing at supporting you in tailoring each workout of the day to fit your capabilities, whilst still pushing you. You’ll surprise yourself with what you’re capable of in every class, and make some lovely friends along the way! Can’t recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: 've been to various gym's and safe to say none of them have offered the level of service, advice and tutoring I've had in my first month at Glevum! Since joining, I've met some great new people and already feel involved as part of their growing community. Whether it's someone advising you on a workout or asking what goals you'd like to achieve. I've been unfortunate enough to have injured myself (outside of Glevum) and the coaches have advised me on alternatives to help me continue with the workout of the day and identify any weakness I have. If you were looking to get involved in CrossFit, I'd highly recommend you contact Glevum and ask any questions you have to the team!

Fantastic experience: I was very nervous joining but the staff and members of the group I train with are really friendly, supportive and motivational! Dan was friendly and reassuring about the support that will be available

Fantastic experience: The most incredible place to get fit which completely changes your life on so many levels. My whole lifestyle has changed and this is purely down to the dedication and support Glevum offer to all their members. In the last 2 years I have never looked back and I’m just loving the journey I’m on. A fantastic CrossFit gym that you don’t want to miss!

Fantastic experience: I have now been a member at Glevum for just over a year and a half and have loved every minute of it. Dan, Rosie and team have created and fantastic facility with a great atmosphere. The team and the rest of the members are some of the friendliest and most positive people i have ever met. I cant imagine training anywhere else and only wish i had joined earlier.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Glevum for PT for at least 5 years. I’m your average overweight gym hating 60+ year old with a couple of serious Muscular Skeletal problems. My main man has been Louis who is nothing short of wonderful in his approach to fitness in a semi wrecked body . More recently I have also had the privilege of having my PT with Dan the gym owner . I was concerned that maybe another young man wouldn’t get what was required but Dan has been great too .The ethos at Glevum is one of making sure you get fit by keeping the programmes fresh,focused, usually fun ( laughter through pain ) and even within a group ,individual. I can honestly say that even if I have had to work at getting there, I have never left Glevum miserable. It’s just a really nice place to be .

Fantastic experience: Great box to be a part of and one that I wouldn't ever want to leave. The people are so friendly and are like family, the coaches are fantastic and supportive and the atmosphere is spot on. If you want to feel like you belong to a true family community then Glevum is the right place.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Glevum for the last 4 years which I have enjoyed. From the second you walk through the doors you are welcomed by the coaches and the members. I have seen amazing results in my fitness, whilst doing workouts that are challenging and fun. This is a facility for all ages and all fitness levels and I would recommend it to everyone!!

Fantastic experience: I moved to glevum just over a year ago and have never looked back.. 6am is the best part of my day!!! The coaching is second to none and I have improved so much since I joined. Dan and the team are attentive, focused coaches and ensure that they individualise their coaching for each member. They know my frustrations, strengths and weaknesses and help me each session to become a better “athlete”. As for the other members I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to train with! No one has any egos and they are truly just a super fun, friendly and supportive bunch... the best community!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Glevum for over 3 years now and cannot rate it highly enough! I felt welcome from the moment I first walked in. Everyone is so supportive and encouraging. The workouts can be challenging, but the class environment helps you through it and you end up doing things you didn’t think you could. The workouts are also constantly varied and you don’t end up doing the same thing every time you go. To sum it up, the community is great, the coaches are great, the facility is great and the workouts are great! What more could you want?!

Fantastic experience: So much more than just a gym, with expert coaching, a friendly and social atmosphere with great people. You certainly get alot out of each session so much so I'm afraid to miss one for fear of missing out! If your looking to put your fitness to the test, learn new things every week and challenge yourself daily then Reebok Crossfit Glevum is definitely the gym for you.

Fantastic experience: I’m taking part in GTC18 and have to say that despite feeling really nervous before the first session I’m really enjoying the experience. The gym has a great feel to the place, the coaches are very welcoming, approachable and easy to get on with. I initially signed up for an 8 week course but I’m already thinking about staying on afterwards!

Fantastic experience: Great place, great facilities, fantastic coaching, fantastic community and an excellent place to train. Glevum has transformed my approach to health and fitness in every way possible. I’ve been a member of Glevum for 3 years now and joining was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! People who haven’t experienced Crossfit are often sceptical at the benefits it can bring and whether it is truly value for money. Dan and Rosie and the team at Glevum have created a wonderful environment and in my opinion is the #1 box. It is without doubt one of my most favourite places in the world to be.

Fantastic experience: Have been to a few crossfit gyms, this is by far the best. The group and one to one coaching is fantastic. All levels of fitness are well catered for and equipment is regularly updated. I have no hesitation in recommending this gym. 5 star ⭐️

Fantastic experience: Great place, great coaches, great community. Glevum changed my approach to fitness and my life. Can’t recommend it highly enough. Miss everyone there so much but love seeing the community grow!

Fantastic experience: Not your usual gym! Great trainers who keep it real and fun. Fabulous support regardless of your abilities and a real community spirit. Since retiring it has made a huge difference to my physical security and well being.

Fantastic experience: Great box, great coaches and great members. Love the Glevum family.
