Welcome to Elite Fitness
The world’s fastest growing Fitness, Strength & Conditioning programme.
Get ready to join our community of motivated and excited individuals who love fitness. We are a family run box looking to pass our enthusiasm for health and fitness onto others and improve peoples health and fitness in the area. We are dedicated to creating workouts that are designed for people of ALL levels so everyone can participate.
Here at Elite fitness, we pride ourselves in developing your understanding of movement and how it applies to you and your everyday life. Our methodology is using functional movements as training methods to improve overall health and fitness. We are all here to learn, develop and support this growing community.
Workout at your pace
“Scaling or Modifying” are words that you will hear frequently here at Elite fitness. During each class, everyone does the same overall workout, but that workout will always have several different movement options. This makes it possible for everyone including those with previous injuries, different body types, personal goals and levels of ability to work alongside one another safely. We motivate one another, cheer one another on, and even participate in healthy competition. Ultimately, every workout is yours alone.

“I’ve been a member at SR1 for over a year now and normally you will see me attending the 6am classes. Working full time, I find the first class on a morning perfect to fit in with my busy schedule.
The thing I love the most, is the constant improvements you can see yourself making. From being able to run that little bit further, getting a new personal best on a weightlifting movement or even perfecting a movement in a WOD you once struggled with. Everything is recorded with the Wodify app SR1 uses, So you can see where these improvements are made, for me this gives me the motivation to keep going!
Crossfit Sunderland SR1 is much more than a workout on a morning for me, it’s a community and a family. It’s somewhere we’re I have made amazing friendships.”
“As a new joiner I was apprehensive having never done CrossFit before, turning up for the first session I was made very welcome, you get trained how to complete the exercises, get coached so you can complete it properly and there’s options to scale down the activities so that anyone can do it.
I really like how there is a variety of times available meaning I can get in before I start work. You can track progress to measure your improvement and the motivation from the group and coaches pushes you to achieve more, beats ‘traditional gyms’ hands down.”
