Gym Membership

The price of a gym membership varies hugely throughout the UK according to a number of factors, including the location of your chosen gym, how often you pay, how long the membership is for, and what exactly it includes. 

CrossFit gym memberships in the UK tend to range from £55 at their lowest, to £250 in locations such as London – averaging out at about £80 per month. 

Orwell Fitness’s comprehensive memberships are priced at £70 per month (£60 for discounted groups including students, military, and emergency services) and cover unlimited access to any of our classes and open gym sessions. We accept payment monthly and allow our members to cancel anytime.

Whether or not a gym membership is worth it comes down to a number of factors, but ultimately rests on how you use it. If you’re committed to your exercise routine and use your membership, its value can go far beyond its monthly fee. A well-used membership to a good gym can be the all-important cornerstone of your fitness journey, offering access to equipment, a motivational environment, fitness classes, a friendly community, and training experts. 

For many, simply paying a monthly membership serves as motivation to consistently attend their sessions or go to work out. 

We believe our gym memberships are especially good value at £60-£70 per month – offering all-inclusive access to our range of six fitness classes, open gym sessions, and facilities. To find out more, read above.

Every gym member has their own reasons for signing up. Common motivations include establishing better habits, meeting a specific fitness or weight goal, meeting new people, or trying a specific class or discipline. 

Joining a gym and completing an exercise routine regularly is scientifically proven to deliver massive benefits to both physical and mental health – meaning those committed to their gym schedule are often at their happiest and healthiest. Whilst building noticeable strength and muscle may take time, the feeling of accomplishment you’ll get after a class, workout, or personal training is immediate and often long-lasting. 

Outside of obvious physical benefits and mental accomplishments, the gym can be life-changing across a wide spectrum of areas. Whether you’re looking to join a community of tight-knit, like-minded people, build your confidence and self-esteem, motivate yourself, hold yourself accountable, improve your overall health or even establish a better sleeping schedule – gyms can deliver.

Whether or not CrossFit is worth it for you personally ultimately comes down to how you use your membership and your personal preferences. CrossFit gym memberships can be pricey in comparison to traditional commercial gym memberships – but tend to offer greater access to a welcoming community and more personal classes. For many CrossFit attendees, the camaraderie of its classes and gym environments are a key factor in their motivation and improvement.

How exactly your gym membership works depends on its provider/the gym you attend.

Some memberships operate on a fixed term contractual basis, whilst others are rolling and offer the ability to cancel anytime or within specific circumstances.
