Booking and etiquette

63 gyms offer open gym, so a solo session is often possible.

• Book classes ahead in Paris. Silvaticus CrossFit takes bookings on Bsport up to 7 days ahead and deducts its 25 EUR drop-in if you join within a week.
• Escale CrossFit takes bookings through the RESAWOD app.
• CrossFit CSH has an open box area that needs no booking.
• In Lyon, Antropos CrossFit Confluence takes drop-ins Monday to Saturday through an online form. CrossFit Viridius books by email or phone.
• Free first sessions are common. CrossFit Lyon and CrossFit Lognes both offer one.
• Group sizes are small. Escale CrossFit caps sessions at 10 to 14 people and CrossFit Lognes at 12, so arrive on time.
