The Team
Liam Moore
Head Coach & Owner
Liam’s passion for sport, exercise and fitness has led his path in life; from representing and captaining Gloucestershire County cricket team and playing semi-professional rugby, to a successful career teaching physical education and now working as a strength, conditioning and CrossFit coach. Liam has trained consistently for over 30 years, gaining a wealth of knowledge and experience, and understanding what does and does not work.
After seeking an alternative style of training to that offered by a traditional gym, Liam discovered CrossFit in 2008. He started completing CrossFit’s online ‘workout of the day’ (WOD) and loved the challenge, variety of workouts and most of all, the results.
As the CrossFit industry travelled over from the USA and opened gyms around the UK, Liam became a member and was instantly hooked on the exceptional quality of the training and coaching, and new friendships made with likeminded people. So much so, that in 2013 he left his career as a secondary school Head of Physical Education and opened CrossFit Sunbury. He hasn’t looked back since.
A true labour of love, CrossFit Sunbury has become the hub of the community and boasts a fantastic member base from all backgrounds, ages and abilities. Seeing the members’ physical and mental health improve from training consistently over a matter of weeks and months is the biggest satisfaction for Liam;
“It is incredibly satisfying to see a new member grow in confidence, skill and ability over time. The science of what we do here at the gym means we are able to engineer steady, consistent progress, and I love helping members achieve their goals by paying specific focus on gains in strength and technique that ultimately translate to stunning improvements in their fitness, that they’d have thought impossible at the start.”
At 48 years old, Liam is the strongest and fittest he has ever been, demonstrating how brilliant CrossFit’s programming really is. Liam trains 5-6 times a week, designing and testing the class workouts in readiness for his members.
