The Verdict on The Functional Fitness Centre

Suits adults who want coached strength and conditioning sessions or independent open gym time in Royston, and most classes need no prior experience. Check the app timetable first, because Performance classes require experience and the gym is not a CrossFit affiliate.

Best for: Beginners, Independent lifters, Royston locals

Pricing Notes

Full Membership is 83 pounds per month for unlimited coached classes and Open Gym. Open Gym Membership is 55 pounds per month for Open Gym only, with no coached classes. Discounts are offered for Blue Light, ages 65 and over, and under 25s, on enquiry. A free trial is available through the app using code FFC-TRIAL, with the total shown as 0 pounds at checkout. Third-party city research notes say single class passes cost 10 to 15 pounds, citing the official site, but no official page gives that price, so it is not in the price columns.
