“What drew us to XO Fitness was their ambition and common goals to step up fitness and well-being in the local area, to improve lives, health and friendships”.
Michael Odell, Race Director
Founded by Chris and Harry, local entrepreneurs with a vision to transform the fitness experience. Developed over ten years, the XO Fitness Hybrid Training concept redefines fitness services, offering personalised coaching, an incredibly supportive community, and first-class facilities.
During a pivotal interview with Chris under the Australian sun, Harry’s life took a transformative turn. Upon his return to the UK, it became crystal clear that he and Chris shared an aligned vision for revolutionising fitness services. Their complementary skills were the perfect match, igniting a partnership that would lead to the creation of XO Fitness – a venture rooted in redefining the fitness landscape.
Continuing the success of their CrossFit Skipton business, Chris and Harry opened XO Fitness in January 2024 in The Moors shopping complex in Ilkley. They are now looking at opportunities to develop the XO Fitness brand and potentially venture into nutrition and fitness apparel; watch this space!!!

XO Fitness offer an array of functional fitness services, including:
CrossFit – XO Fitness’ core product aims to develop fitness in all areas. You’ll become stronger, faster, and fitter than you’ve ever been while learning new skills and enjoying constantly varied group workouts. Classes are 60 minutes and require you to complete our Fundamentals Course before starting (unless you have previous CrossFit experience).
Fundamentals Course – This is a three-part induction to CrossFit. Learn the basics and get to know our team in small groups. It’s a fantastic way to start your fitness journey; sign up for a membership, and your fundamentals course is FREE. It must be completed F1, F2, and then F3. If you can’t make the class times, get in touch, and we will be able to help.
Sweat – An extremely popular alternative to CrossFit. Burn calories through high-intensity functional workouts without some of the more complex movements seen in CrossFit. Classes are 45 minutes and do not require any previous experience OR fundamentals course. Jump in today!
Hybrid – Get faster for your next fitness race or simply join in with the latest fitness craze with our Hybrid Classes, brought to you by coaches with multiple HYROX World Championships races under their belts. Combining cardio elements such as running, cycling, rowing, or skiing with functional movements such as lunges, burpees, wall balls, and sleds, these 45-minute classes will get you fitter, faster, and ready for anything. They don’t require a fundamentals course or any previous experience, so you can start immediately.
Open Gym – Do your own thing at your own leisure. Whether you want to practice some skills, follow your own strength programme, or add some extra cardio, open gym slots can be booked throughout the day and are limited to 12 people. No fundamentals are required.
Personal Training – For a bespoke approach to your fitness journey, work closely with a coach in a 1:1 or small group setting and find yourself under the watchful eye of one of the best physical therapists in the business.
