Wales’ most experienced coaching team.
Our Story
Addix began back in 2011, when we opened CrossFit 31 — Bridgend’s first CrossFit affiliate.
At the time, functional fitness was brand new to the area. We were a small gym with a simple goal: to bring structured, coached group training to everyday people.
Those early years shaped us.
CrossFit taught us the value of community, intensity, and accountability. It helped people fall in love with training again — and it helped us grow into better coaches, leaders, and mentors.
We coached thousands of people across Bridgend — from complete beginners to advanced athletes — and watched them become fitter, stronger, and more confident than they ever imagined.
But over time, we wanted to go further.
We saw what worked, and what didn’t. We wanted more structure, progression, and individualisation — without losing the spirit that made CrossFit great.
So, in 2017, we made a bold move. We de-affiliated from CrossFit and began building something of our own: a system that kept the best parts and roots of CrossFit — community, intensity, functional fitness — but refined everything else.
The result was Addix Fitness.

OUR EXPERIENCE
Over the past 15 years, we’ve coached thousands of people from the Bridgend area — from complete first-timers to high-performing athletes.
Through data, experience, and thousands of hours on the gym floor, we’ve continuously refined how we coach, how we programme, and how people progress safely and sustainably.
In 2018, we became one of the first CrossFit Level 3 coaches in Wales — an achievement that represents not just technical knowledge, but years of dedication to the craft of coaching and real-world application.
We’ve taken everything we’ve learned — from the early days of CrossFit to modern strength and conditioning — and built a coaching model that is structured, safe, and designed for long-term progress.
We’ve kept what worked:
Real community
Varied, functional training
Measurable progress
And we’ve made it smarter:
Progressive programming instead of randomness
Clear structure and planned testing cycles
Purpose-driven coaching, not just instruction
Addix is what CrossFit taught us to be — and what we’ve evolved it into.
We are redefining fitness for the everyday athlete.

Frequently asked questions
Is Addix Fitness still a CrossFit gym?
No. Addix began as CrossFit 31, Bridgend’s first CrossFit affiliate, back in 2011. In 2017, we made the decision to de-affiliate from CrossFit so we could build a more structured, progressive coaching system of our own.
We kept what worked — community, intensity, functional training — and refined everything else. Today, Addix Fitness follows a smarter, performance-based training model built around progression, testing cycles, and long-term results.
How experienced are the coaches at Addix?
Addix has over 15 years of real coaching experience in Bridgend, working with thousands of members — from complete beginners to advanced athletes.
In 2018, we became home to one of the first CrossFit Level 3 coaches in Wales, a qualification that reflects years of study, practical coaching hours, and commitment to professional standards. Our coaching isn’t guesswork — it’s built on experience, data, and proven systems refined over time.
What makes Addix different from other gyms in Bridgend?
Addix isn’t a commercial gym and we’re not a franchise. We’re a coaching facility built around structure, progression, and measurable results.
Every class follows a plan.
Every training block has progression.
Every member has a clear path.
While many gyms offer access to equipment, Addix provides professional coaching, structured programming, and accountability. That’s why we’re considered one of the most established and premium training facilities in Bridgend.
Is Addix suitable for beginners?
Yes — many of the thousands of people we’ve coached over the past 15 years started as complete beginners.
Our programs are structured and scalable, meaning you train at your current ability level while following the same progression model as everyone else. The focus is on building strength, fitness, and confidence safely over time — not throwing you into chaos or intensity for the sake of it.
Why do you describe Addix as “premium”?
We’re premium because of the coaching quality, structure, and results — not because of gimmicks or flashy facilities.
Members invest in Addix because they want professional guidance, measurable progress, and long-term development. We hold higher standards for coaching, programming, and accountability — and that standard is what delivers lasting results.
