About Us
At CrossFit SY1 we aim to produce a broad general and inclusive fitness. Whether the goal is weight loss, increased strength, reduced body fat or improving your endurance, all can be achieved through our workouts. The idea of the program is to prepare people for any physical activity.
Dan White
Trainer/Owner
I had been training for over 10 years but was becoming bored and frustrated with the lack of progress i was getting from the traditional split day training style. I was on holiday in 2011 when i saw the CrossFit games on ESPN America and couldn't believe the ability of the athletes. I researched CrossFit as soon as i got home and haven't looked back. In 2 years I lost 3st of bodyweight and was stronger and fitter than ever before. I enjoy the teaching methods of CrossFit, breaking a movement down to its progressions and ensuring the mechanics and form are correct. I learnt more completing my CrossFit Level 1 course than I had in years of previous training and now want to share this knowledge with our members.
Amy Watson
Trainer/Owner
My CrossFit journey started in 2015 after many years of training in conventional gyms, when i switched to CrossFit I saw results quickly in both strength and fitness. I made many friends through our box where previously I never spoke to anyone when training, the environment is totally different, very supportive and friendly. My passion for the CrossFit style of training and community grew and after going into partnership with Dan I took the plunge to become qualified as a level 1 trainer and CrossFit Kids trainer.
I coach the adults, teens and kids classes as well as training 1 on 1 CrossFit Skills and bespoke personal training sessions.

Miguel Ulloa
Calisthenics Trainer
Migs started doing Calisthenics in 2007 after his weight training was inhibited by a debilitating accident. He felt that bodyweight training was the best way to rehab and things just went from there.
In 2012 he started up 'Crazy 4 Calisthenics' with fellow Calisthenics coach Jay Anthony, creating an environment for all ages to enjoy bodyweight strength training and to learn new calisthenics skills and body control techniques.
