About us
We're Daryl and Amy.
We took over CrossFit Mendip in August 2023 with 40 members. Two years later there were 250 of us, and the average member stays for more than 19 months.
We know what starting feels like. A photo of ourselves we didn't like, and a body scan we liked even less, made us realise we weren't looking after ourselves well enough to be around for our little boy. Daryl went from 130kg to 80kg. Amy went from a size 20 to a size 10.
That's who trains here: people who were bored of the gym, nervous about starting, or coming back after years away. You don't need to be fit to start. Got an injury? Daryl spent years as a paramedic, so we can always find a way for you to train.

At first I was a little sceptical about signing up to CrossFit not knowing if it was for me but in all honesty my only regret is not signing up earlier . It really is a great community to be part off with experienced coaches who make you feel welcome and support you from day one . CrossFit Mendip caters for all levels of fitness . Thanks guys for making me feel so welcome .Posted on Google![]()

I really love my sessions at CrossFit Mendip ! Today I received an email, to congratulate me on attending my 100th class ! This is just one example, and typical, of how owners Amy, Daryl and their amazing team roll. All of them are unwaivering in their support and encouragement, helping to build your confidence to grow, and move forward to the next level whatever your personal goals. Every little win at CFM, no matter how small, is recognised and celebrated, not only by the team but all the inspiring members that make up what I have found to be the very best community. Basically everyone here is lovely, real and genuine. My CrossFit Mendip journey began with a 6 week challenge at the end of June. I decided to address changes I had noticed in my muscle strength and joint mobility. Because of the improvements I experienced, signing up to a full membership was a no brainer for a longer term investment in my health. Almost 9 months on and I’m totally hooked ! Every class here is switched up to develop varying skills, all of which have improved my confidence, physical strength, cardiovascular fitness and for the first time in my life I am learning gymnastics! No doubt about it, CrossFit is hard work but also exhilarating and fun! It gives me a sense of achievement and self belief. Inherently I am driven so I love the structure and discipline of CrossFit, it tests and builds my resilience to be stronger in training and deal with life’s daily challenges. Despite carrying extra weight, my most important goals didn't include weight loss. I have lost over 9 kilos though, so that's a bonus, i feel so much better for and another win for my health. Apart from a choice of classes and team workouts, Amy and Daryl have given me the opportunity to participate in my first ever CrossFit competitions, both In House and The Worldwide Open CrossFit Games, and an amazing Weightlifting Seminar learning from the best, Olympic weightlifting athlete and gold medallist Michaela Breeze. The sense of community and working together in these classes and events has really helped my introverted self socially and to respect the value of teamwork which I have grown to love. There is no corporate gym stuffiness here, Amy and Daryl have created an incredibly welcoming, relaxed environment which feels like family. Personally I find that being a newcomer to any environment can be daunting, but from day one I have been welcomed and seen, and the support has been phenomenal. Expect 1st class coaching from the entire team here. Each coach is extremely knowledgable, experienced and bring their own wonderful personalities and style. My classes are mostly with Coach Danny who is fantastic. He is supportive, encouraging and does not miss a thing !!! He will push me to the next level if I appear to be managing an exercise well. Without his brilliant coaching style which is from the heart, energetic, clear and precise, disciplined and fun, I would not have developed the physical strength or mental self belief to attempt some of the elements of CrossFit with confidence that I find more challenging. Thank you Team CrossFit Mendip, I can not recommend you highly enough.Posted on Google![]()

Great Crossfit programming, super-knowledgable, friendly and attentive coaches who have built a fantastic fitness and social community. Bring max effort but leave ego at the door. I look forward to every session.Posted on Google![]()

Taking CrossFit classes has truly been a transformative experience for me. Not only have they elevated my fitness, but they’ve also had a huge impact on my mental health. As someone who has always been more introverted, stepping into a group fitness environment was a huge challenge. But surprisingly, CrossFit has helped me break out of my shell. CrossFit has added an extra layer of richness to my fitness journey after my second pregnancy. It’s definitely been more than just a workout; it’s been an essential part of my well-being. At CrossFit Mendip the coaches are truly the best. They provide support, creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed and encouraged. I’m looking forward to taking part in more classes in the future when I have more time and can challenge myself even more.Posted on Google![]()

So much fun and supportive team. They encourage you all the time and no matter if cannot do exercises in time given, they appreciate the effort. I love the fist bumps at the end. It makes you feel that you've actually achieved something. They make sure they help you with your goals and to your standards. For e.g. if have injury/joint problem, they alternate the exercises for you. I always feel happy and stronger after each session. Thank you! I would recommendPosted on Google![]()

Hadn’t stepped into a gym for 10 years, needed to get my act together. I threw my proverbial hat into CrossFit Mendip last December. I have found that the classes are inclusive regardless of ability and fitness, catering for everyone! Coaches are friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging. The members are welcoming and supportive, I haven’t seen ego’s or likewise in over a year of attending classes. People talk about community at this gym, it’s real, it emanates throughout the classes and engagement with both coaches and members. Give it a go, embrace it… you’ll love it!
