A NEW gym specialising in a type of exercise training called CrossFit has opened in Worle.
Adam Stanton has created his business called CrossFit OxHouse, based in Ebdon Road.
The new discipline is a strength and conditioning programme used by the armed forces and sports people.
Mr Stanton said: “It is functional fitness training with a combination of weightlifting, gymnastics and cardiovascular movement at high-intensity.
“I have trained most of my life in martial arts and what I liked about CrossFit is the community aspect of training in a group and helping each other out.”
He said he had to travel around 20 miles in order to find a class and so decided to create his own business in Weston.
He added: “A lot of people I know wanted to try it and they have been coming to me to help them out.
“I enjoyed doing it and helping them so I decided I wanted to bring CrossFit to Weston.
“It is the first CrossFit gym in the area and I really like to show people what it’s about and to bring them into the community.”
