CrossFit® Durnovaria
CrossFit · Dorchester
17 studios — yoga, pilates, boxing, climbing and more.
Last updated
Dorchester's boutique studio scene is concentrated around Charminster, Athelhampton and Puddletown, and Piddlehinton, with fitness studios, martial arts gyms and pilates spaces making up the bulk of what's on offer. CrossFit is particularly well represented, with CrossFit® Durnovaria drawing a dedicated following, while Coach Dan's Fitness and Fight Sports in Athelhampton and Puddletown covers boxing and combat disciplines under one roof. Strength training and reformer pilates round out a varied independent scene that sits largely away from the town centre.
