IS THE CrossFit Bury The HIVE EXPENSIVE?
If you are comparing us to other gyms selling you access to their rows of machines, then YES we are!
If you are comparing us to other gyms packing members in like sardines and getting you through random circuit exercises, then YES we are!
But, we are a WORLD APART from those gyms. CrossFit Bury gym you won’t see rows of “fancy” machines, which most people don’t know how to use - this is not what we sell! Our focus is on free weights, conditioning and functional fitness - the stripped back look of the gym can be strange at first, however once you taste the benefits of having a mentor to teach you on how to maximise your health and fitness, you will never look back!
HOW BIG ARE THE TRAINING SESSIONS?
With group class sizes limited to 8 people, we are here to provide you with an affordable alternative to the one-to-one personal trainer format. We aren’t going to sheep hurdle you through the hour on one of those boring bootcamp circuit, we are here to COACH you! This means, we will guide your progress, build your strength, work on your weakness, to achieve those personal goals you have, and will make sure your get the best hour of your day with us! Our coaching and training is very personalised and technique-focused. We aim for quality movement above anything else. This is tailored individual coaching in a group environment.
DO I HAVE TO BE FIT TO do crossfit & JOIN THE HIVE Bury?
The simple answer is No! We get asked this by a lot of newcomers and our answer is always the same… You join The Hive to get fit. No matter what stage of your fitness journey you’re at, we can help get you faster, stronger and leaner. Our aim is all round wellbeing and performance.
"Yes IT’s hard, it’s physically demanding, it’s GONNA push YOU ON SOME DAYS to limits they have never been before, but the results, the gains and the personal rewards outweigh the hardship. That’s why people all over the world are falling in love with CROSSFIT."
A regular WOD at The Hive takes an hour and includes a warm up, a strength and skills sections, a WOD (Workout Of the Day) and a cool down.
At The Hive Bury there is no fancy machinery and no mirrors for the vain, it is just a box! But don't be fooled, this unassuming space has got a whole lot going on inside!
Please follow this link to our teamup page where you'll find our timetable for taster sessions, Hive Fundamentals and regular Hive WODs.
Wear anything that you're comfortable to workout in - we'd recommend shorts and a t-shirt, as well as sturdy trainers. Companies like Reebok design apparel made especially for weight lifting and cardio, but you don't need anything specific to do a class.
Fundamentals classes at The Hive introduces athletes to how to move with good technique and lift weights, including a barbell, properly and efficiently. All members must complete this introductory session to join our small group sessions.
We have an online booking system called Team Up, This is where you can easily purchase Memberships, Fundamentals and pay-as-you-go and will also control your direct debits. Click here.
At The Hive Bury we ask that members give us a minimum month's notice to cancel their membership.
We believe that three months commitment is the minimum for Hive members to reach some of their personal goals in training.
We recommend everyone has at least one rest day in the week. The nature of our training methods means there is lots of variation in the workouts, so your body should have no problems keeping up. We will find out together how much your body can handle. Some people may train twice a day, others twice a week.
If you’ve never done Strength training before we encourage you to take part in a Taster Week first. At the end of the taster week if you're keen to join, simply follow the teamup link on our regular timetable page, which will guide you through the set up of your membership. If you already know you want to join us, just call in, ring, text or email us and we’ll arrange to meet you at the gym and show you around, talk about your fitness goals and complete the booking together.
At The Hive Bury you join a community of like-minded people who you can train and compete against. Our members hold each other accountable for turning up and while regular gyms don't care if you ever show up, we are different. Our community aspect of training makes you want to show up and encourage each other to reach your goals and beyond.
Everyone is different so it’s impossible to place a time frame on your results. However what we can say is that our functional fitness, weights-focused training, most certainly achieves results quicker than most fitness methods out there. At The Hive Bury we focus heavily on performance goals and not whats in the mirror or on the scales. The harder you work to reach your goals the fitter you will become, therefore the better you will look and feel in mind and body.
Our training methods are proven to shred fat through our short, intense workouts. You will gain strength first, then once you become more adapted to Hive training and follow our coaches’ nutritional guidelines, unwanted fat will drop off.
You hear some women say that females who lift weights look too bulky. But remember when you are weight training, it pumps blood to the muscles and makes you look bigger. You can still lift weights and remain feminine, with the added bonus of being strong, toned and more independent.
Yes, however it takes time and hard-work, so don't expect results in the first week!
