ABOUT CROSSFIT ULYSSES
Born out of a passion for CrossFit, CrossFit Ulysses opened in April 2016 and looks to bring all the benefits of CrossFit and Level Method to the Middlesbrough area
We are one of only 2 fitness facilities in the U.K and around 100 in the world to use Level method, its a unique fitness grading system that when complete gives you an overall colour grade. This allows us to understand exactly what your fitness, flexibility and strength levels are. In class you then complete a version of the same workout as everyone else that day but only at your level. The major benefits being-
Safer progression which keeps you training longer and helping your fat loss and muscle toning goals.
Indicates your weaknesses in a positive way so we can prescribe a how to improve guide.
No more guessing from members or coaches on what weights or movements to select
Improves safety and reduces injury risk- We all think we can do more than is possible at the time! This is our EGO and we like to keep it in check
Intensity is just right for your ability
These tests give us constant feedback on how were improving

What can you Expect from CrossFit Ulysses
Our coaches get to know you personally, what your strengths and weaknesses are, what your goals are and always support you.
Every single workout is ‘scalable’ which means the newest beginner can be training alongside some of the athlete-level members and completing the same workout.
No workout is ever the same and we always maintain very small class sizes to enable our coaches to focus on every single member. Expect coaching ratios of 1-16 as classes are capped.
We are family-focussed and kids are a big part of Ulysses. We have a crèche and kids classes aimed at providing fun and interactive sessions.
We want Ulysses to be as accessible as possible so we do not have any contracts, our membership is completely flexible.
We have a busy calendar of social and charity events and offer even more support and friendship to our members through our private Facebook group.
“I find it a great honour being able to help normal people do things they’ve not been able to do for years, improved posture is a big thing and a gift I’m passing on. Creating a family atmosphere with no ego’s whilst pushing peoples limits in a safe and friendly way.”

Head coach Ben
Personal trainer, CrossFit trainer, Health Coach and weightlifting coach
I started my fitness journey in the British army in 2003 where I was trained on a revolutionary course that instead of the usual beasting, we were educated in strength, flexibility , core, group management plus aerobic and anaerobic training systems. Since leaving I've trained athletes, football & rugby teams and individuals all over the world. 5 years after starting CrossFit I settled in Middlesbrough to bring my passion for human movement and flexibility to the area. We teach technique, consistency then intensity. We are now getting to help people on a deeper level with nutrition and 90 day transformations.
