Best crossfit centers in Birmingham: find options near you

Since December, I’ve been a member of SCFIT and can’t recommend it highly enough. The facilities are excellent, and the coaches are knowledgeable, highly motivating, and very patient, which is a great help for me. Having played team sports for over 25 years, I never enjoyed a gym environment until I was recommended Second City Fitness by a mate. They were the CrossFit bore in the pub, and now I am too! I only wish I had discovered it two decades ago. It’s tough work, but incredibly rewarding.

This was my first ever CrossFit membership/experience, and the team and coaches were immensely welcoming & supportive. They made sure I was comfortable with the exercises and made sure to offer exercise variations, to suit my experience and fitness levels. The equipment, workout plans & communication from the team are spot on. Unfortunately, being away a lot I haven’t made as many classes as I’d like to – but every member I have met is super friendly & supportive. Definitely feels like a community & I’ll 100% be re-joining when I’m back in Birmingham more frequently.

I’m just over a month in to joining Second City and starting crossfit as a whole, and I’m only annoyed at myself that I didn’t do this sooner. The team have been super welcoming and have met some really supportive and fun people so far. The highlight for me though has been the attentiveness and support of the coaches. Dan, James and Lauren (who I’ve had sessions with so far) have been awesome and are always happy to give guidance and adjustment where needed and make you feel supported, especially when I felt like I’ve had no clue at all. Can’t wait for the journey to continue!

One year in, and my best year yet! Having never done Crossfit before, I’ve felt really safe and had the courage to try new movements and learn new skills because of the guidance and support from the coaches who are just brilliant! There’s always a version of the workout I can do, and every day is different. It’s hard work every single time, but so rewarding and satisfying. I love it here!

I can’t say enough great things about Second City Fitness! This is my 3rd week and from day one, I was welcomed with open arms, and the coaches Mike,Daniel, James and members make you feel like family. It’s such a friendly and supportive environment, everyone genuinely cheers each other on, no matter your fitness level. The coaches are knowledgeable and encouraging, always helping you improve safely while having fun. This isn’t just a gym; it’s a community that truly cares about each other. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home and motivates you to reach your goals, this is it!

Wonderful box with an awesome set of coaches. Have been going for nearly a year and always feel like I get an informative and challenging workout whenever I’m here; delivered in a safe and enjoyable atmosphere. On my 1:1 sessions Ben as been brilliant at helping me focus on my core skills, as well as giving me the confidence and mindset with which to approach future workouts. Cheers Second City

I’ve recently joined and am loving my experience. The coaching is great and something for all levels of fitness and knowledge. There’s a real friendly environment and my fellow members are super encouraging when it gets tough.

Joining MSC Performance has completely transformed my training.

Every session is structured, purposeful, and focused on real progress. The coaching is exceptional: knowledgeable, supportive, and always challenging you to push beyond what you thought possible.

What really sets MSC apart is how they help you build confidence alongside strength. I’ve seen improvements in my technique, strength, and overall mindset in the gym.

The environment is motivating, consistent, and full of people striving to be better. I’m constantly learning, improving, and levelling up. Can’t recommend it enough.

Top notch gym. I’m currently doing their Barbell Club training program which I’m greatly enjoying! I like the accountability and the fact that we train loosely as a group. The coaches are great and there’s a good vibe in the gym. Plus, people make sure to put equipment back when they’re done with it. I’ve already recommended it to a few friends. I look forward to seeing what the next few months bring.

I started going to MSc as I stopped being consistent and lost myself slightly particularly with going to the gym. Having worked with Kitti now for many months, i can truly say she has helped me grow so much both in an out of the gym. The gym itself is amazing and welcoming and the equipment is great, there is also such an amazing community feel that is really lovely and takes the monday morning dread out of going to the gym! I would recommend to anybody!

This gym is amazing. The community if very friendly. Staff and couches are very helpful and I’ve been welcomed into the group. The group sessions barbell and met con are amazing and feel I’m getting alot out of the gym. I would highly recommend if you want to get in the best shape of your life.

Visited Brum for the weekend with an early morning spare, met by friendly staff who let me partake in a met-con session and put me through my paces for a great start to the day. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting.

Best gym in Birmingham if you’re looking to achieve your fitness related goals. Lots of equipment, amazing facility and great coaches & community

MSC has been a fantastic gym. I started out with extremely limited confidence and I was reluctant to engage with the gym. I started my journey with 2 months of semi-private PT with Jura and he was brilliant. 4 months in, I’m now able to squat my body weight and I’m actually looking forward to getting up at 6am for MetCon classes!! The gym is clean, staff are welcoming and there is plenty of equipment to use. Thank you to everyone at MSC for giving me a whole new perspective on going to the gym!

I have been a member of Rigs Fitness for many years now but this place has been a life saver for me during my pregnancy. From the very beginning, everyone from the team at Rigs has been absolutely amazing! My goal was to stay strong, healthy, and supported throughout and all of the coaches have been very knowledgeable, encouraging, and incredibly thoughtful in adapting workouts to meet my changing needs.

Every session has felt safe, empowering, and genuinely enjoyable. The coaches- Dave, Rob, Lou, Matt, Lewis, Richard, Kim- take the time to understand what’s right for you, not just physically, but mentally as well. I’ve felt stronger, more confident, and well-prepared for the changes in my body thanks to their guidance. They never made me feel like I had to slow down, just adjust and train smarter, which made a huge difference in both my fitness and my mindset.

It’s more than just a gym, it’s a community. The atmosphere is always welcoming and positive, and I’ve felt very supported by the staff and fellow members during this journey.

If you’re pregnant and wondering whether you can (or should) keep training, Rigs is the place that will remind you you absolutely can!

Thank you to everyone at Rigs for being such an important part of this special chapter in my life. I can’t wait to join the Mama & Mini classes with my little one soon!

Recently joined here I am really enjoying it. The sessions are challenging but you can go at a pace suitable for you. I absolutely love the 9 rounds class with Rob. I always feel great after classes and like I have done a real workout rather than motivating myself to go and lift weights at a mainstream gym. Mix of people of all abilities so it doesn’t feel too daunting, the staff are very friendly and ensure you feel welcome. I have full confidence training here will make me a lot fitter and push myself further than training alone.

Once you join Rigs, there’s no going back. By far the best gym experience I’ve had. The trainers and gym friends are welcoming and warm. There is a good balance between banter and training. Trainers push you to achieve your best; Rigs has helped me achieve my best fitness levels and have you feeling amazing about yourself after each session. I would definitely recommend!!

I’ve been a member of Rigs for just over a year, and I absolutely love it. The focus on classes, planned by expert coaches who are both knowledgeable and friendly, has been a game-changer for me. The best part is that it completely takes the thinking out of each session, while still ensuring I get a solid workout every time.

For me, the community is one of the standout aspects of Rigs. The coaches and fellow members are genuinely supportive, and everyone really wants to see you achieve your goals. It’s an environment that makes you feel motivated and welcomed every time you walk in.

I couldn’t recommend Rigs more highly and I’m so glad to be a part of it.

5⭐️ is a minimum for this place! This gym is more than just a space to workout, it’s a community full of welcoming members and passionate, knowledgeable PTs who genuinely care about your journey. From day one, I’ve felt supported and inspired, and it’s been life-changing.

Not only have I discovered the joy of exercising here, but I’ve also gained skills I never thought I would, like learning how to box and lift weights safely. The guidance and encouragement have helped me grow in confidence and ability.

There’s a special energy in this gym that always brings a smile to my face. No matter how my day starts, I leave feeling happier and accomplished after every workout. And with consistency, I’ve seen real results that keep me motivated to keep showing up.

If you’re looking for a gym that truly transforms your approach to fitness and well-being, this is it. Give them a go—you won’t regret it!

I joined a couple of months ago and straight away felt welcome and comfortable. The coaches are friendly, knowledgable, supportive and will push you in every class (my heart rate definitely confirms this!!).
I work shifts and have settled into a routine of classes that works and most importantly, is realistic and sustainable for me. The vibe is awesome and totally different to any gym I’ve ever been a member of before. I look forward to exercising now.

I joined Rigs recently and it’s been a great experience. I have really enjoyed strength training and boxing, which are things I normally would have avoided! All the coaches are super supportive. A really friendly gym and I would recommend it to everyone!

I highly recommend HCF, and here’s why…

I joined HCF 1.5 years ago feeling low on confidence. I was overweight, my fitness wasn’t where it should have been, and I just didn’t feel like myself. I wasn’t in a good place and, honestly, I didn’t like who I had become.

Since joining HCF, I have lost nearly 3 stone, dropped a dress size, and now feel slimmer, stronger, and more toned. I’ve even competed in events I never thought possible: 2 Hyrox competitions (with my 3rd coming up in October), 2 Deka strongs, 1 Deka Mile, and several 5K and 10K runs, including Wolf Runs.

I wouldn’t have achieved any of this without the amazing coaches and supportive members of the HCF family. You are never alone here—everyone encourages each other every step of the way.

The coaches are outstanding. They ensure your form is correct, adapt workouts around injuries, and genuinely care about your progress—not just in fitness, but in life. I also do personal training sessions focused on my Hyrox goals. My coach has pushed me beyond my comfort zone, helping me feel more confident and prepared than ever. We also create weekly plans that include nutrition, running, recovery, and sleep, so I’m working on my goals even outside the gym.

What I love most about HCF is the group environment. You’re never working out alone—you’re doing it together, encouraging one another, and sharing the journey.

We also have fun along the way such as nice retreats to switch off and relax some lovely hikes and social nights out.

Since joining HCF, I am fitter, healthier, and far more confident. Most importantly, I’m starting to love myself again, believe in myself more, and feel genuinely happier in life.

Come and give it a go—join the HCF family and achieve your goals with support, laughter, and a community that truly cares! ❤️

Not your standard gym, it may not have a pool or steam room etc, but it is a community. I joined to get back to being active, I stayed for the people. Support, banter and exercise, what more do you want after a long day, making friends along the way too!

I started at Hudson Core Fitness 2 years ago. I wanted to lose weight , but also feel mentally good about myself. I’ve lost the weight and feel amazing physically and mentally. The trainers are amazing very encouraging and motivating, sometimes you just need that little extra push and they are there to support you. I would definitely recommend anyone looking to get fit and meet other really great people to come and join. It’s not just a boot camp it’s become a community of friends

Hudson Core Fitness is absolutely amazing! I’m so grateful I found this wonderful place. The three trainers are fantastic—each brings something unique to the sessions, which keeps things fresh, fun, and challenging.

Since joining, I’ve become fitter, stronger, and healthier. I’ve lost weight —but more importantly, I’ve gained a real sense of community. I’ve made friends, and I genuinely look forward to every session. I miss it (and everyone there!) when I can’t go.

The trainers truly care. They go out of their way to support and encourage everyone, no matter your fitness level. If you’re thinking of joining—do it! You absolutely won’t regret it.

HCF is so much more than a Bootcamp. It’s a place of friendship, camaraderie, fun and laughter. The workouts are fun, challenging and planned to suit all abilities and needs. If, like me you enjoy the outdoors then HCF is the perfect venue to get fit, healthy lose weight tone up and workout outside in the fresh air.
The personal trainers are truly inspirational, knowledgeable and passionate about getting the best results for us at HCF.
I’ve been attending HCF for several months I feel fit, strong, healthy, energetic, motivated and proud to be part of a happy community. HCF offers more than the bootcamp there are retreats and hikes on offer too.

I’ve been attending HCF for 3 months now, and it has been an incredible experience. The instructors are very knowledgeable and always willing to help, which makes a huge difference in the learning process. I really appreciate the variety of exercises tailored to different levels — it keeps things challenging but achievable. With sessions running throughout the whole day, 6 days a week, there’s always an opportunity to train and stay consistent. Over time, I’ve gained not only skills but also confidence, and I can clearly see my progress. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone who wants a structured, supportive, and motivating environment.

I’ve been attending HCF for a year now, which is the longest I’ve ever stayed consistent with exercise. The sessions are always varied which keeps things fun and challenging. There are multiple sessions throughout the day so it makes it easy to fit a class around my busy schedule.
Dan, Jack and Shay are motivating and supportive and the group atmosphere really helps me to stay accountable.
Not only have I lost weight, I also feel so much stronger and more confident in myself.
Would recommend HCF to anyone!

We did a drop in because we participated on the sid uk champs in july. Very friendly community and owner. Always open for a chat. The gym has also everything you need for your training. We absolutely can recommend it!

Great Crossfit Box and lots of nice people. We would love to come back 🙂

Really warm and nice people running the business! We went for a drop-in and had a good time with a conditioning workout: cal row, burpees and du’s.

Its an amazing gym, the coaches and the people who regularly visit create a superb atmosphere. No gym i’ve ever been to compares to this one. What a great place!

Friendly, down to earth gym that has become my second home since walking in as a complete beginner three years ago. A wonderful mixture of members from all walks of life and a wide range of abilities – everyone is made to feel welcome. Top coaching too. There is even a gym dog! 😀

The people at this gym are amazing, you will find friends for life. It’s a fun, happy and welcoming environment to get your fitness journey going. Highly recommend popping in and seeing what they have to offer. Getting fit should be exciting and fun and this gym provides exactly that.

I am getting fitter faster than I ever did going at it alone in the gym, and it is so much more enjoyable. The community feel at this gym gives it such an edge. Going along to the Free Trial was the best decision I have made in a long while, not only for my health and fitness but for my social life too!

Over the years, I’ve been so inconsistent when it comes to exercise, mainly due to boredom and not having the motivation. SCFIT Central is full of awesome, friendly, professional coaches that only my personal interests at heart. I’m learning new experiences every session and genuinely coming out of a work out feeling refreshed and ready to go! I couldn’t recommend this gym any more highly! Scrap your usual routine, and join the cross fit movement.

I was initially apprehensive signing up to a Crossfit box/functional fitness gym as I did not have the best experience when I did so 5 years ago. However, after regularly working out at SCFit Central for the last 4 months, my experience could not be any better.

Class sizes are small and you get really good coaching from coaches (special shout out to Gaz, Rhod, Mike and Elfie!) who really care about improving your physical fitness and nutrition. They push you without being arrogant and pushy. They expertly scale workouts to your current abilities. This in turn has helped me workout consistently and make exercise and diet a priority. Glad I took the leap and joined SCFIT Central!

Absolutely love this place. It’s the best hour of my day. It’s such a friendly, inclusive community, and the coaching and support is second-to-none. Over the years I have been a member of a lot of gyms, but this one is definitely the best because the coaches are so supportive and approachable.

The best gym you will find in the city centre without a doubt! Lovely staff who will guide you through every movement. Gives a mixture of a nurturing environment for those nervous to start their fitness journey and an intense, tailored workout for those wanting to sweat.
Offer loads of tailored nutrition and fitness programmes too

I’ve been trying to find a way to get in shape for a while, found a lot of other places super intimidating, and only really catering for people who were already fit. The guys at SCFIT made me comfortable from day one, sounds cliched, but feels like the really do care. The classes are great, and the coaches are super supportive. I think I’ve finally found something I can stick with

This gym has a great ethos! It’s so welcoming and suitable for any ability level. I love how the owners are constantly wanting to improve. Highly recommend!

Love it – Definitely a place to go and train, friendly staff and members. Get a good sweat on!

B76 is an amazing place, coaches offer a huge amount of guidance & support all the athletes support each other it’s a fantastic community! I simply wouldn’t want to train anywhere else it’s the best!!

Large CrossFit box located in the grounds of a local Rugby and Tennis club. Lots of outdoor space both grassy fields and a long stretch of drive off the main road which makes it a safe place to do a run or a farmer’s carry when your workout asks for them. The weights and other equipment is really well looked after and maintained and the gym itself is kept very clean and tidy as the owners, coaches the members are very proud of the space and treat it with care. There’s an impressive selection of cardio machines including assault bikes, concept2 rowers and ski ergs. The atmosphere is very welcoming too, it’s a great place for a one-off drop in, you’ll be made to feel very welcome and everyone will ensure that you have a really enjoyable workout. There are showers, changing rooms and indoor toilets on site. Like most CrossFit boxes there are no lockers because your stuff will be more than safe and there are some shelves inside where you can leave your kit bag etc. There are snacks & drinks available to purchase at the box. Walmley village is one a mile away and there’s a pub and a café there with plenty of parking should you want a pre or post-workout meal.

Love being a member of b76 the coaches are ace nothing is to much trouble to get you to achieve the perfect form ace coaching workouts are well planned and the community of b76 is so welcoming forget the rest b76 is the best

Awesome place to train, it’s such a lovely supportive community. I feel so comfortable training there.

Excellently equipped, friendly gym. Fantastic coaches with a great personal touch.
A real CrossFit community gym!

Best gym with the best coaches. Could never go back to a normal gym!

Stopped by for a drop in session. Friendly owner / coach. Welcoming atmosphere. Would recommend.
