5 /5 Emma Taylor: Great coaching, super friendly atmosphere
I’ve only been at RH10 Fitness just over a month, but I already feel like part of the community. From the very first phone call, Sam was friendly and chatty – we ended up talking about how to fix an issue with my mobile! It had nothing to do with the gym, but it set the tone: he genuinely cares about the people who come here, will go out of his way to help you (fitness focused or otherwise) and that really shows in everything they do.
Coming from a fitness background but new to CrossFit, I’ll admit I was a bit hesitant at first. Id heard all the usual CrossFit rumours and was concerned about injury or being thrown into workouts I wasnt ready for. But the coaching here is excellent. Movements are broken down clearly, options and progressions are always offered, and there’s time to try all the options and learn before the workout starts. You’re never dropped in at the deep end. I feel like I’ve learnt so much already.
All the coaches are super approachable and knowledgeable. Tim, for example, stayed behind after a session to run through handstand progressions and mobility work with me – just because it’s something I’m working on. His gymnastics background really shows, and it’s clear he loves helping people improve. Both Sam and Rob have also done similar and are receptive to questions, making time for people. Honestly, I could say that about every coach here. It is very clear they have invested in their education and have a passion for what they do.
The space itself isn’t huge, but it’s full of great energy. The community is one of the best parts – supportive, welcoming, and down-to-earth. People even feel comfortable bringing their kids along. There was a social BBQ recently where everyone’s nutritional needs were thoughtfully catered for. Whether you hit a new lift or try something for the first time, people cheer you on. It’s such a positive, encouraging environment.
Also – there’s a very cute dog (often in the office never in the workout space), and honestly, he makes it. Boston is clearly the star here.
If youre curious about CrossFit, want expert coaching, and a kind, funny, and well-organised gym family, I’d absolutely recommend giving RH10 a go. I’m fast becoming a CrossFit convert. Your in safe hands at RH10 fitness.
