WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
Vale CrossFit first opened its doors in 2022. Our aim has always been to create an environment where people go, not just to achieve their ambitions, but also somewhere they can hang out, have a coffee with friends, meet new people and feel confident in themselves and their training.
Whether your goal is to do a pull up, run a marathon or become a professional athlete, we will work with you and encourage you every step of the way and celebrate every success with you.
