Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have showers?
Yes - we have on-site shower facilities so you can train and head straight to work or your day without any hassle.
What if I've never done CrossFit?
New to CrossFit, or exercise in general? You're in the right place, beginners are exactly who we’re built for.
Every session is fully coached and tailored to your level, so you’ll never feel out of place or unsure what to do. Whether it’s your first workout in years or ever - we’ll guide you every step of the way.
What if I'm not fit enough?
Nobody walks in “fit” that’s the whole point of starting. Our job is to meet you where you’re at and help you improve, step by step.
Most people say the same thing after a few months: “I wish I started sooner.”
What is Lift & Breathe?
Every class at CrossFit Ancoats runs three tracks. Lift & Breathe is our accessible track — the same effort and stimulus as the main workout but with simpler movements. No Olympic lifting, no high-skill gymnastics. It's perfect for beginners, those returning from injury, or anyone who prefers a less technical session.
What is The Sunday Roast?
Sunday Roast is our signature 90-minute endurance session every Sunday at 11am. Hyrox-style training — aerobic conditioning, functional movements, sustained effort. Open to all levels and unlike anything else in Manchester.
How do I get started?
Start with our Foundations course — three 1-to-1 sessions covering the essential movements before you join group classes. It's included in our 7-day unlimited trial for £30. Message us on WhatsApp or book directly online.
Can I do a drop in/pay and go?

What are the benefits of CrossFit?
In short - everything improves.
You’ll build strength, improve your fitness, increase energy levels, and feel more confident in your body. But what most people don’t expect is how much it helps mentally - reducing stress and giving you a real sense of progress each week.
And the best part? You don’t have to do it alone.
