WELCOME TO
CROSSFIT EVOLVING

We've Evolved to Support our Community outside of the Box.

Introducing SQ-WOD
The semi-quarantine workout of the day
Perfect for when you're missing your CrossFit box training

We've designed a brand new programme designed to keep you physically and mentally fit during the Coronavirus outbreak.

If you’re looking for a way to stay fit and well during this period of semi-quarantine then SQ-WOD could be just the thing for you. A programme specially designed to be followed at home or in your outside exercise using a mixture of bodyweight, household objects. If you have some home gym equipment great! if not then don’t worry as our programme every day comes with suggested objects and equipment to keep your training functional, varied and at a good intensity for now.

A mixture of coached and guided sessions to keep you on track

Our programme has a number of sessions daily where you can train with a coach throughout the whole class. We use an online group video programme to enable us to see and correct your movements. The great thing about these sessions is you have the time and space to ask questions of the coach and also have a chance to see your fellow athletes working out too. A great way to stay motivated, stay home and stay safe.

As well as the coached sessions our SQ-WOD membership package includes videos to guide you through the session on days when joining a video call just isn’t the right thing for you. With clearly video guidance on the movements, recommended and alternative equipment as well as some tips on how to approach the workout for maximum benefit you will be well set up to start your session. We also provide video guided warm ups and cool down so that you have a strong structure for your whole workout.

Arrange a Drop In?

We get that the lockdown is a mental challenge as well as a physical one. Joining our SQ-WOD programme also gives you the mental and emotional support you might normally get from your fitness community. You can expect weekly challenges, regular check-ins, online socials and plenty of nutrition and wellbeing tips.

SUCCESS STORIES FROM OUR MEMBERS

Just had my first coached SQ-WOD session; it was great!

Kez H.

SQ-WOD members

I have found doing the SQ-WOD each day has helped keep me sane and given me the motivation to keep up the exercise too. Its great to see the friendly faces of the trainers leading the workouts each day.

Mark H

SQ-WOD members

Thank you for everything you have all done to keep the workouts happening. We really do appreciate it.

Fitness plays such a large part in our mental health so thank you so much.

The coaches are absolutely amazing.

SQ-WOD members

We always try to take CrossFit sessions when travelling so we’ve had the chance to see a few boxes in different countries. I’m very confident to say that evolving is by far the best. We can see there is a lot of dedication from the management and the coaches to provide the best possible service. In my view, even when the structure is the same everywhere, at evolving you get a bit more, the wods are better designed; the movement preparation, warming and stretching is better; the seminars and complimentary activities, etc. All of this is greatly appreciated. We will definitely miss the box but will try to come back every time we visit London.

“Thanks a lot for the past six months. It’s been an absolute pleasure to train with you. I feel you’ve made me a better athlete, taught me about mechanics and strategies and made me excited about nutrition.”

Jakub J.

“I have to say that I am absolutely loving training with you. I’ve dropped into a number of boxes in several countries but I have never been so impressed with the coaching. I have had so many helpful corrections, critiques and tips already, and it’s only been a couple of weeks. It’s so great to feel that the coaches genuinely care about everything and everyone. I’m really happy to be a member here.”

Tamin J

“I joined Evolving Kilburn after 2 years of sports absence. At first I felt intimidated by the numerous terms, exercises, WODs, metcons, as I didn’t know what they mean. The team at Evolving Kilburn welcomed me to the box and took the time to explain to me the terms and the technique.2 years on I feel fitter and stronger than ever. I am constantly pushing to exceed myself and also enjoy the friendly competition against the other athletes in the box. Although we train in groups, the coaches are hands on and checking each and everyone’s technique and progress, and provide feedback at the end of each session. I am now thoroughly enjoying every session and I look forward to the next challenge with the coaches!”

Andreas L

“I joined Crossfit Evolving Kilburn when I was bored of going to the gym and wanted something new. It ended up being the perfect mix of challenging and fun, which was exactly what I was looking for. The coaches are knowledgeable and encouraging, the community is welcoming, and crossfit itself is so addicting. I just wish I stumbled onto it a few years earlier!”

Arjun R

“Having been heavily influenced by the sports and fitness industry for many years, I found myself spending several hours a week training in the gym and outdoors but with no clear purpose or goals. I discovered crossfit in the summer of 2016 and after identifying Crossfit Evolving as my local box , the variety that the sport of Crossfit offers, immediately became a massively important part of my life. Crossfit Evolving drives me to forge the fittest version of myself possible within a first-class environment built upon their thriving and passionate community. Whether you want to improve your strength, agility, competitiveness or just overall fitness, Crossfit Evolving’s coaches and members will help you to achieve your fitness goals”.

Colin B

“I started doing CrossFit early 2016 as I was looking for something new to get back in shape and have fun. I enjoyed it so much that later in the year, I convinced my wife to join as well. Overall, we quite like the ability to do a class together where each of us can do the exercises/movements by scaling them to our own ability level, something that we had never been able to do before. There is also a nice community feeling in the classes and we have made some good friends.Overtime, we both noticed that we got fitter and gained again the ability to do movements such as handstands and pull ups that we had not done in years (or ever before) and for us that has been a really great journey which is still far from being over as there are still so many things to learn, improve and develop.

We would really recommend for people to try and keep an open mind about it. You will feel getting fitter and healthier over time, whilst at the same time learn new skills and make friends with new people.”

“I joined crossfit evolving 2 years ago. I came from a normal gym where I was repeating the same things day in day out and was lacking in motivation and getting results I was looking for. I had tried crossfit on holiday in Thailand and took to it straight away. Crossfit evolving is much more than a gym but a community. The staff are very helpful and push you to achieve more. Would highly recommend it to all levels of fitness”.

Paul O

Carpenter and Construction Business Owner

“It’s not your average gym, that’s for sure. It’s a community with a beating heart, where everyone has a vested interest in whatever your own goals are. From getting back into fitness, to getting that first pull up to trying to make it to regionals, the box is there to help all of us move closer to realising our goals. For me, my goals have evolved (badoomtish!) and these days I’m focussed on quality movement and maintaining good health and fitness. And the box continues to support me in achieving that. I couldn’t be more thankful for my Crossfit family. It’s been a fantastic four years and I look forward to many more years of PRs, lifts and laughs to come”.

Meena R

“Crossift has been great in improving our overall fitness and strength. Evolving is an environment that we felt comfortable immediately as there were people of different abilities, size and age. It provided that competitive edge for me and that overall “general fitness” environment for Dennis”.

Josie and Dennis M

Sports Physiotherapist

“Crossfit is an exciting, highly rewarding but also a demanding sport, both skill and fitness wise. It requires patience, tenacity, and continuous training.
And then you have days when things don’t work out. Your technique doesn’t work, you’re not strong enough, your motivation simply is not there. It is during these times when you need your coaches and your co athletes to help you out and pick you up. Give you that motivating jolt you’re missing, reassure you that you got one more rep in the tank, help you fix your technique and get better.

But what about fun, someone would say ? Well, Fun is made of sweat in Kilburn Evolving’s case! While Crossfit can be certainly difficult to train, at the same time, our box is a safe place where we spend some quality time, where it does not matter how we look or what we did before we went through Evolving’s front door, where we all go through these “Crossfit trials” (as we call them), without losing either the fun element of training or our enthusiasm on reaching our goals. And for this we rely on our awesome Kilburn Evolving coaches, who keep us inspired, on the support of the community and on each other”

Panos and Olga

“After a year of doing CrossFit I only have positive things to say and expect to be continuing for many years to come. I thought I was pretty fit before I started – coming from a background of football and running – but actually, I realised I only had one type of fitness! CrossFit has significantly improved my all-round fitness, especially in terms of strength in my case. And maybe somewhat surprisingly, this has actually had a positive impact on my distance running performance too.

Along with the fitness gains, the main attractions for me are that there’s a full schedule of sessions to sign up for, which is really useful for someone with a changing work and family schedule like me. And I also know I’ll be in and out in hour, having done a really intense work out. But all this works particularly well at Evolving as the coaches are all fantastic, the box is professionally run and training in a group is so much more enjoyable and motivating than training alone”.

Mark B

What I like about Crossfit Evolving is the variation in the workouts, they’re always different and many are also very challenging! Especially jumping on 60cm boxes!I think Crossfit is also very levelling, by that I mean it makes you re-access what you thought about yourself & what you can push yourself to do. To me, that helps to keep a sense of humbleness about yourself, because you sometimes realise that Crossfit is a work in progress & in a way, never stops being a challenge.

And no one is big headed precisely because of the above (in my opinion!).

I like being part of the Kilburn box, all the people I see there are friendly, committed to their fitness and are motivated by the great coaching team. And Scott and Emma organise the socials and things like Lift Off, which helps people to be see other members outside training when they otherwise might not.

“Crossfit Evolving Kilburn has really changed my perspective about weight training for girls, before I thought it would make me big and bulky but actually crosfit training has been more effective than anything I tried in getting my body in the toned shape I wanted! And more importantly, it made me feel more confident about new exercises in general and also gave me a healthy habit of doing sports in the weekend rather than sleeping in. Now I recommend crossfit to anyone I know who want to get in better shape, no matter what level of fitness they have, and honestly with the right coaching ANYBODY can CrossFit!”

Yoon L

If i have to give an honest answer i started CrossFit not sure of what i would find! i’ve never been a Gym person and every time i tried i would end up quitting after a while without never even notice the slightest result…

All that changed once i arrived at Evolving Kilburn where after a shy beginning, and pretty much understanding that i wasn’t able to do a singe thing i was suppose to do, everything started to get into places.

As results started to show up little by little i was getting more and more hook with this little gym and its community! For the first time i am actually looking forward to my hour workout for the day and i get to feel sorry if i miss one. It’s all do to the great vibe that obviously must start from the Coaches that manage to make you fell comfortable even in those workout that seems impossible…

It’s still a long journey to finally consider myself a real Crossfitter and so many more thing i feel the need to learn before getting to that result. But improvement are showing up everyday, and it’s so exciting to try to imagine how far i could go!

I’m just very grateful to have found such a gym and such a team, which show me that training can be fun!

Fabio G

“In my opinion, Crossfit is hands down the best way to keep fit and healthy. It’s unique blend of weightlifting, gymnastics and metabolic conditioning ensures your body is always challenged, and with a vast range of skills and techniques to acquire and perfect, you are always striving for a new goal. A box packed with all the equipment you need, and training plans crafted by experienced coaches who are on hand to ensure you are constantly improving, take all the hassle out of training. The opportunity to compete against athletes of all abilities drives you to attain your fitness goals and I couldn’t recommend Crossfit Evolving Kilburn enough.”

Ross M

“I enjoy the feeling of getting stronger and meeting new challenges every time I attend a coached session at Kilburn Evolving. The community camaraderie and social time before and after sessions is also a bonus in addition to fitness gains and personal best in workouts. Feeling supported and encouraged by fellow members and coaches during metcons are always welcomed, inspiring you to work harder and achieve your goals.

End of each month brings fresh excitement in looking forward to the monthly programs ahead which are well-rounded, challenging and great fun especially partner workouts. I now try new things regularly because of the impact CrosFfit training has had on my life. Never thought I’d still be involved 2 years later hanging upside down and swinging on bars and rings. My confidence levels have improved through regularly training at the box and goal-setting principles from coaches which i apply in all areas of my life”.

Patrick A

School Basketball Coach

“I had been following Crossfit for a while and after some time of sedentary experience i decided to give Crossfit Evolving Kilburn a try. Apart from Crossfit being great and was the type of training that I wanted to opt for, what struck me the most at Crossfit Evolving Kilburn was that it is a true community. It was above and beyond than what I was expecting at a training facility. Staff at Crossfit Evolving are fantastic. Attention is given to a personal level despite being in a class and it is easy to track progress and set up personal goals as the staff are always there to assist. I remember Crossfit Evolving Kilburn opening just when I moved to London back in 2013, and the only regret, is not joining the community then!”

Simon M

I just wanted to share how much I enjoy training at CF Evolving in Holloway. You guys are great, all different, all great and dedicated to becoming better every day.
The vibe is great too and I just think it’s the best hour of the day when in the box.
Keep it up! Love it.

Hendrik A

Coming from a military background, I was used to doing circuit classes and functional exercise training. I was looking for a place that would help me stay fit for life and service, and also somewhere with a community feel. Like so many of us, I have a short attention span so the variety that CrossFit offers is perfect. The fact that CrossFit makes weightlifting more accessible to women was important to me; I used to avoid the weights at the gym, but as a doctor I know that it’s excellent for my health! Since joining Evolving I have noticed some important mental and physical changes. Apart from hitting my fat loss goal – something I am really proud of, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of being really strong and fit. I can do pull ups now – something I never thought I’d be able to do. Its really helped my self belief; I’ve smashed so many of the goals I set myself in other parts of my life. The box has taught me I am capable of much more than I thought possible. I’m much happier. Being fit is so good for the mind.

Fern A

Doctor and RAF Flight Lieutenant

“I used to enjoy boxing and jujitsu before some serious surgery put a stop to that. An ordinary gym wasn’t inspiring enough, so I decided to give CrossFit a try, as I had heard from a friend that I might enjoy the camaraderie and competition element that I missed from my old training.I was really nervous as I was out of shape by then and worried about pushing myself too hard in the wake of my surgery. As soon as I started I felt really well looked after. No one ever let me put any weight on the bar until I’d mastered a move properly. The coaches scale the workouts for individuals so that you can still join in in a competitive way with people much fitter than you and you don’t feel self conscious or worry about holding the group back. After two years of attending CrossFit Evolving, I am in much better shape than I was before my surgery. It’s the best money I’ve ever spent on my physical well-being.”

Alex T

Local Businessman and Father of 3

I have known for a long time that it is important for women to do weight bearing exercise and to lift weights in order to prevent bone and muscle loss associated with ageing. I was looking for a place to work out where I could learn to lift weights safely and effectively, a place where I would be supported in my quest for strength and flexibility. CrossFit Evolving is perfect for me, because as busy mum of 3 children, the limited time I have to myself has to be spent efficiently. At CrossFit Evolving, the workouts are really challenging, so I really feel I have had a good workout every single time. One of my favourite things is that the workouts are different every day, which means I never get bored. The support I found at CrossFit Evolving was amazing. I was shown that with good technique, I could be much stronger than I thought I was. The coaches are very patient with me, and they have all the advice and knowledge I need to get each movement right. I am stronger, fitter and healthier now than I was in my twenties, and the encouragement from the coaches at CrossFit Evolving has played a big part in that. The CrossFit Evolving community cheered me on and made me feel so welcome! I felt at home straight away. I had no idea getting fit could be so much fun and that I would make friends for life at CrossFit Evolving.
