How CF44 started 👊

What began as a space to train in the garden during lockdown turned into something we never imagined.

From side hustle PT sessions, to leaving our full-time careers and building CF44 from the ground up, it’s been a journey of hard work, growth, and a lot of belief. From garden shed, to studio, to the gym you see today 🤍

Who Are We?

We’re Tom & Shauna — husband and wife, and the proud owners of CF44 Gym. 💪❤️

Tom, a former PE teacher of 7 years, and Shauna, a youth worker of 10 years, came from two different but deeply people-focused careers.

In 2021, we started building CF44 from a garden shed—driven by our shared values, passion for movement, and belief in building a real community through fitness.

Fast forward to now: we’ve taken the leap, gone all in, and created CF44 Gym—a space built on inclusion, support, and strength.

From women-only strength training to youth-focused development, everything we do comes from the heart.

This is more than just a gym. It’s a vision brought to life by purpose, persistence, and people.

Welcome to CF44. 🤍🖤 by @cf44_gym

Adult HYROX Sim at CF44 🔥

What a way to finish the weekend!

Sunday saw a full day of racing at CF44 as our Adult HYROX Sim took over the gym, with athletes taking on 8 runs and 8 workout stations across the full and scaled formats. A huge effort from everyone who stepped up to the start line, whether you were testing your fitness ahead of an upcoming HYROX or taking on a simulation for the first time. 💪🏼

The atmosphere throughout the day was unreal, with plenty of support from everyone who came along to watch and cheer on our athletes.

A massive thank you to everyone who competed, supported and helped us bring the weekend together. Until the next one! 👀 by @cf44_gym

Kids HYROX Sim at CF44 💪🏼

What a turnout for our first Kids HYROX Sim! A morning of running, workouts and plenty of teamwork as our young athletes took on a scaled HYROX-style course alongside their parents.

It was great to see so many families getting involved, supporting each other and taking on the challenge together. A huge well done to every child who crossed that finish line! 👏🏼

Thanks to everyone who joined us and made the morning such a good one.
And that was only day one… keep your eyes peeled for our Adult HYROX Sim recap coming tomorrow! 👀 by @cf44_gym

CF44 Youth Athlete Development is changing! 💪🏼

We’re restructuring our Youth Athlete programme to make training more accessible and flexible, with more opportunities for young athletes to train with us each week.

The focus remains the same: developing speed, strength, power, fitness, movement and confidence to help young athletes build strong foundations for their sport. With more sessions available each week and a new flexible membership structure, athletes can train more consistently and get even more from the programme.
