Hey there everyone. I'm currently here in Houston, but I'm going to be relocating to London in a few months. I was there for a few weeks and visited Capital Crossfit, had a pretty good time, but wasn't able to visit any of the other boxes. Workout times don't seem to be that great on any of the boxes in London, and none have weekend times except for Capital. Is there like a group of people that do their own WOD's? I'm going to be in Central London for a while in corporate housing, is there a park with a pullup bar?? Boxes here in Houston are pretty big, but then again it's TX. I'm also in to cycling does anyone have info on cycling groups in London? Thanks in advance for your help and look forward to being in your great city.

Hello mate, welcome to FK.UK

When was it you were in London last?

CrossFit London - http://crossfitlondonuk.com/ - now have their own box in Bethnal Green. Good wee box and great coaches.

Judging by the online booking system it seems they have classes on Sat 1100-1200 and Sun 1000-1100.

Don't know a huge amount about the other London boxes TBH.

I was there a few weeks ago. I must have not looked hard enough.

hi there
welcome
I think there are more CFers that go it alone rather than join a box in London although there are more and more popping up so that may change soon.
I'm also a cyclist and work (but don't live) in london so probably not much use.

If you are anywhere near Primrose Hill park (just over the road from London Zoo) there is a free outdoor exercise area with bars aplenty (and rings).

Thanks, I'm in London next week, and I usually go jogging around Regents park so I'll have to go check it out, and maybe pack my rings.

From Regents Park north side, cross over the pedestrian bridge over the canal, right next to the Zoo's offices; then cross the road at the zebra crossing and into Primrose Hill park. Turn right and follow the path and the exercise area is on your right behind some hedges (and next to the public toilets).
