The Athlete Centre Reviews

I really like The Athlete Centre (TAC) in Horspath. I'm not a CrossFit or Hyrox person but love functional training and fitness, and have been looking for a local gym. Everyone is lovely and welcoming, and James (owner) has been extremely patient throughout my year+ of figuring out if I'll become a member, and then me thinking through training goals while I'm there. They've definitely made me feel welcome despite my sporadic nature of training and recent deliberations over goals. Also great it's connected to the athletics track with opportunities to use it. All the coaches are patient with particular note to Tombo who has put up with me adjusting some of the sessions to fit my personal training aims. It's a great team and it's good to have a functional training space with weights, racks and everyone is accommodating within a relatively small space to let you get on with you own session. Would recommend giving it a go!

Absolutely love this gym. I’ve been training here for a few months. The classes are challenging and fun. The community is wonderful. The equipment is top notch and the gym is carefully and diligently cleaned by the staff daily.
I’ve tried more than 5 gyms in Oxford and this one is consistently favorite. -
Best Box I've Been to So Far!
The Athlete Centre is my third CrossFit box, and by far the best! The community is incredible, as you'd expect from any CrossFit gym, but here I've never felt more involved or truly part of the group—it's like a cult in the best possible way (haha).
James the head coach is a down-to-earth, awesome guy who genuinely cares about his clients. He’s always thinking of ways to improve the experience, from organising socials and in-house competitions to adjusting and programming training sessions that cater to everyone’s needs.
The team of coaches is equally fantastic—each one brings their own expertise, from competitive rowers to olympic weightlifting coaches. They’re all welcoming, approachable, and make sure you're getting the most out of every session.
You’re definitely getting your money’s worth at The Athlete Centre, and I couldn’t recommend it enough! -
Have been a member for a couple of years now - TAC is a incredible gym. Classes are brilliant, coaches are really supportive and a super friendly community. If you're thinking of giving it a go, don't think twice!

The Athlete Centre is a fantastic gym, equipped with great equipment and a highly competent staff.
The classes are well paced and with commitment you are guaranteed to get serious results here.
Don't come for fancy perks and treadmills, come for results and a positive workout environment. -
Great places to drop in if you are in Oxford, cool place easy to reach. Take the bus number 4 then it's a 10 minutes walk to the gym or if you have the time walk along the river from Oxford. Drop in is 10 pounds, they accept credit card but it's quicker if you have cash. Coach and community are welcoming and nice even to outsider. The class was quite fast-paced compare to my home box but I didn't feel rush. I will be back next time I'm in Oxford thanks the Athlete Centre for welcoming me :)

Simply one of the best gyms around, as the coaches are top-notch, the facilities are excellent (there's a running track next to the gym!), and the location is easy to get to. Best place for a workout, cannot recommend it enough 💪

I am a member of The Athlete Centre and I can't praise it highly enough. The staff at The Athlete Centre are dedicated, approachable professionals who will do everything they can to help you reach your health goals. As a former member of most other gyms in and around Oxford I can confidently say the facilities are the best in Oxfordshire.
I would highly recommend calling and booking a free taster session to really get the most from your first visit. You'll be amazed at the difference The Athlete Centre will make in your life, it has certainly helped change mine for the better.
