Here’s what CrossFit Ancoats actually looks like.

Nearly 10 years in Manchester. A community that started outdoors and turned into the city’s biggest CrossFit gym. Real coaching. Three workout options every day. High-fives mandatory.

You deadlift every day. You just call it picking something up.

Shopping. Kids. Dog food. Keys.

We just train it properly - so your body can keep doing it for life.

"CrossFit is too hard for beginners."

Only if the coach is doing it wrong.

Mechanics first. Consistency next. Intensity only once you've earned it. That's the system.

CrossFit isn't about elite athletes, that's the sport. The methodology was built to make ordinary people genuinely healthy. Coached every session. Scaled to your level. Mechanics before intensity. Always.

In 1969, living openly as an LGBTQ+ person was largely illegal in the United States. New York State laws criminalised homosexuality, and bars could lose their licences for serving gay patrons.

[CrossFit Ancoats @CrossFitAncoats]

The uprising inspired people around the world to organise, speak out and demand equality, giving rise to the first Pride marches and the global celebrations we know today.

[CrossFit Ancoats @CrossFitAncoats]

What followed was several days of protests that became known as the Stonewall Uprising: a defining moment that helped ignite the modern movement for LGBTQ+ rights.

[CrossFit Ancoats @CrossFitAncoats]

As a result, many gay establishments, including the Stonewall Inn, were operated by the mafia, who paid off the police to stay open.
On 28 June 1969, the Stonewall Inn was raided by police, not for the first time, but on this night, the community fought back.

Huge week for Rachel, who hit her first bar muscle-up.

Strength, coordination, timing, balance, and body awareness all working together. That’s what makes moments like these so special.

Once inside, will anyone talk to you? Where is the bathroom? And what should you wear?

Super Saturday crew.

Team workouts are a big part of what we do. It's not a competition, it's a community supporting each other through a workout.

It’s hard being a beginner.

You see people in the gym doing cool things and want to get there yourself, preferably as quickly as possible!

Be able to move the same each time.
Once movement mechanics are ingrained, the next step is to test consistency.

Can the athlete perform the movement in a correct, predictable fashion from one day to the next?
Can they do so without constant oversight f… https://t.co/rSmdG61nYg
