A new CrossFit gym in Ripon is set to host its official open day tomorrow under the ownership of a local military man and his wife.

CrossFit Ripon’s opening will provide an opportunity to see the space, meet the team, watch live weightlifting demos, and even take part in fitness challenges.

There will also be several local vendors and businesses at the opening offering food and drinks, as well as skincare and nutritional advice.

The gym has already achieved 90% of its membership capacity in the weeks leading up to the official opening and is welcoming more potential customers at the new facility tomorrow.

Owners Mick and Sarah Meegan, who already run a smaller training studio in the city, faced a nine-month planning battle to secure the CrossFit Ripon unit.

They hope the new gym will tackle obesity and improve physical and mental wellbeing.

CrossFit involves various high-intensity strength and conditioning exercises and has risen to popularity over the past two decades.

Mr Meegan, who is serving his final year of 21 years of military service, posted on social media:

“Our long-awaited open day is almost here, lots of hard graft has been going in at CFR HQ to make our training space pretty special.
“You guys won't be disappointed.
“We look forward to meeting you all and getting you starting on your fitness journeys.”


The gym will be open every day and membership prices begin at £80 per month.

The open day will take place tomorrow at the unit on Ripon Business Park. It will run from noon until 4pm.
