WHO WE ARE

Originally founded in 2013, CrossFit Marbella was one of the first CrossFit gyms to launch in Spain. Constantly expanding and developing, CrossFit Marbella has now doubled in size to over 550m2, and now offers three group fitness programs across two spaces, CrossFit, BeachFit and HYROX. We pride ourselves on our next level coaching, our world renowned welcoming community of staff and members, as well as a super clean and well equipped facility.

Every day, whether it be through personal training or group class our coaches bring their all to help our members reach their goals. Our programs are tailored to help our members improve their fitness levels, how they feel about themselves and therefore to live a healthier and happier life outside of the gym. We tailor to all fitness levels and capabilities.

Through the application WODIFY our members are able to register for classes, book goal reviews, track their progress, download skill, strength and mobility progressions…and MUCH more!

Each year we are visited by traveling CrossFitters and fitness enthusiasts from all over the world who are visiting Marbella. We love nothing more than to have visitors join us for our classes or personal training, and to meet and train alongside our members.

Inside our facility we have also partnered up with Physio Fitness complete with services of physiotherapy, massage and pre/rehab treatments.

FAQ’s

About Crossfit

What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is defined as “constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity”. Your journey into CrossFit here at CrossFit Marbella will begin with a free NSI (no sweat intro). Book your NSI here.

Each class is different, but each class is structured with a workout explanation, a warm up, a workout out and a cool down. We have members with fitness levels of all levels and LOVE having beginners with us.

Your workouts are released a week in advance so you can get excited and prepare for the weeks training ahead. Expect to learn how to use barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells and much more. We regularly run strength or skill ‘cycles’ over a 4 – 6 week period. The aim of the cycle is to help improve your technique and strength over specific movements used in CrossFit – the olympic lifts and gymnastics for example!

Your results are tracked through your personalized app powered by WODIFY, and our coaches are by your side in every class to ensure your safety and to guide you when needed. Just show up, we’ve got the rest covered!

Shirley Young

I originally heard about the world of CrossFit from my brother who thought I might enjoy it. Up until that point, my approach to fitness and nutrition had simply been what I’d picked up from magazines and internet but there was no real strategy behind any of it. I started training at CrossFit Marbella just over 3 years ago and it’s simply been the best decision I’ve made. CFM has given me a solid structure and variation to my fitness journey with unrivalled group support and a great feeling of community. My experience at CFM continues to be outstanding. The culture at CrossFit Marbella is amazing and has been created by the top class coaches and community of welcoming members. It is one of support and encouragement. From my early days, the CFM coaches provided high quality programming and did so politely
