HyFit HQ | Training - Oldham

I’ve recently completed my first six weeks at Hyfit and have absolutely loved it. I’ve never been able to stick at something for this length of time and I think it’s down to the friendly, welcoming community and patient, professional guidance of the instructors. I was really unfit when I started and didn’t think gyms were for me, but training alongside people from all walks of life and fitness levels is so inspiring and has encouraged me to really push myself. I’d never used free weights before but because I’ve been patiently helped 1:1 to build a proper technique it’s given me real confidence. I’ve lost weight, feel stronger and better in my own body. It’s a really great way to wind down after work and the class times are spaced throughout the day so I can work it round a busy week. I couldn’t recommend this fab community highly enough!

Just completed my 6 weeks intro to the gym and it’s been excellent. I’ve been made to feel very welcome and supported in my quest to improve my fitness and undertake strength training for the first time. All the coaches are knowledgeable and very encouraging. It’s been great fun and you are made to feel part of a community. The programmes are varied and always interesting and training in a class setting is much more enjoyable and motivating than training alone. I definitely recommend the 6 week programme to kick start your health and fitness journey.

TL:DR - This place really works and massively helps with motivation and accountability. If you want REAL change and don't just want to "Go to a gym" then this is the one for me.

After a long hiatus from the gym due to years of shoulder injury then surgery, a return to a gym was pretty daunting, plus as I hit 40 I was more focussed on wanting to be fit and healthy.

Having researched various options I came across Hyfit, and after a brief chat on Whatsapp with Danny the gym owner I decided to sign up for their 6 week programme. See what I could achieve in six weeks if I fully committed to Danny's asks from me (The accountabillity bit)

So...

The Ask:
Danny mandated that I do 10k steps a day, and workout minimum three times a week, with some small adjustments to my schedule such as going out walking for meetings I didn't have to be on video for example or walking at lunchtime / after work I made this work
Classes have lots of options, so I've been able to easily make three a week work, and there is so much variety that I haven't done the same thing twice in six weeks, it's always fresh with a great combination of sometimes lift focused sometimes cardio/conditioning focused
Nutrition Danny asked I stick to 1950 cals a day, was originally 2150 but I said I wanted a proper blowout once a week ha, I've been sticking to this pretty religiously, Danny also mandated 50% carbs which was a big surprise to me as I thought it would be higher protein, I protested that I wanted to lose weight, he asked me to trust him as we needed to fuel my workouts, I did, he was right.

The Gym - The gym itself is really well equipped, never any issues with not enough equipment, it's of a high standard and there's nothing more to say. Full marks.

The community - The gym is full of every kind of everyday person, people of all shapes and sizes, regardless of your current mentality I promise you will fit in here, everyone is friendly and approachable too, they have a really nice community going and do regular socials, group hikes etc for recovery. It's really nice to see outside of your normal gym. There are of course people in amazing shape that can inspire you! My point is don't feel like you can't come here because it's full of massive men or gym bunny women. Everybody can train here.

The coaches - Every session is led by a coach who is friendly, and VERY helpful, got an issue with an injury? They'll help you work around it in a way that let's you carry on working, got a question about form? They'll break it down so you understand it bit by bit. Again top marks, great people and really helped my confidence despite some injury concerns.

Extra: On top of normal programming they run extra programmes in cycles, for example at the moment a "GAIN" programme focused on building extra muscle through a small addition to your normal session of 30 mins before or after your workout. They run other things like shred for fat burning etc. Each of these is ran in a programmatical way that assess where you are first, then puts a structured approach in place as to how to improve. Very effective.

The results: Six weeks in I've lost 6KG, my muscles feel harder, my body looks better, don't get me wrong I'm not transformed overnight, it's six weeks of honest work and it takes time, but for six weeks Danny has delivered impeccably, I've been able to have the odd small treat through the week so I feel normal, with a proper treat on the weekend.

How I feel: I feel great, fitter already, though again I'm sure there is lots more to go, I have more energy, feel less lethargic and look forward to my sessions. I feel fresh.

Summary - If you got this far in my detailed review then I'd urge you to get in touch with them and just give them six weeks, commit to the programme and you cannot fail. Danny and the team really know what they are doing, I'm now a permanent member.

I love training at CrossFit Saddleworth! A very friendly and welcoming place to train with a great community, excellent equipment and high quality coaching who are all really supportive and knowledgeable and will tailor workouts for each individual - making it suitable for all abilities.
You are always challenged to push yourself as there is always something new to learn or improve on.
I would recommend CrossFit Saddleworth to anyone who wants to improve their fitness and try something new!

CrossFit Saddleworth is a great place to train, with great varied programming. A very welcoming gym where I have not only become the fittest, strongest and most mobile I have ever been but also had great fun and met some amazing people along the way. Highly recommended.

I started going to crossfit after a long break from exercise. It's totally different to any other type of exercise I'd done before. It beats any typical exercise class hands down. Despite it being fairly weights based it's not a remotely intimidating gym. There's a really friendly atmosphere and great supportive coaching. I thoroughly recommend it.

Crossfit Saddleworth is a fantastic place to work out and push your body to the limits. Great facilities, great coaches and more importantly great team mates who help you through the pain barrier!! I have only been coming here for 9 months but wish i had started a long time ago because Crossfit is like no other form of exercise i have done before.....its brutal, but great fun!!! The detailed work outs and coaching cater for all levels and abilities and it is very much an inclusive gym. #teammates

I started training at the CrossFit Lite sessions when my baby was 6 weeks old. These daytime pay-as-you-go sessions are perfect for parents as you can take the kids with you. My baby was happy to watch me train and hang with the other babies. Now I’ve returned to work after mat leave so I’ve joined the gym as a member and started to attend the full classes. I never ever thought I’d train at a gym but this place is addictive! Really friendly with varied workouts that allow you to learn new skills and get strong. Give it a go!
