Clifton Running Club - Bristol

As someone who moved to Bristol knowing very few people joining Clifton Running Club was the best thing I ever did. I was looking for a way to keep fit, meet new and interesting people and hopefully build a great group of mates. Clifton Running Club could not have blown my expectations further out of the water.

I have made a fantastic group of mates since joining, who are up for anything from climbing, cycling, quizzes, nights out, camping and beers in the sun. There is something for everyone and they are all super supportive and welcoming.

Rob, who started CRC, is brilliant. He brings the right mix of exercise and social activities to the club. From beginners level to advance everyone is welcome. Each session is tough and varied but always supportive. I have developed both fitness wise and socially since moving. He always motivates you and has time for every member. There is no running for miles and miles it's all tempo, hill sprints aimed at keeping everyone included.

So...if you want a social bunch of people who like to exercise and get fit and push yourself then Clifton Running Club is #1 in my eyes. Pop along for a taster session and you will see 😁 hope to see you at a session soon.

Cannot recommend this running club enough! Joined when I moved to Bristol beginning of 2020. The sessions are always different and you can really push yourself. Everyone in the club has also been so friendly and welcoming. Great way to meet new people and improve your running!

I joined CRC about a month ago as I was looking a new training environment to increase my motivation to train. The club is very welcoming and all full of very friendly people. There is a great team atmosphere and support to make sure you get the best out of every session.

In a short space of time, I have taken part in several dynamic and varied sessions ran by Rob which have been very enjoyable.There is a great social aspect to the club also which I am looking to get involved in.

I would definitely recommend the club to anyone with a running/fitness interest who is looking to train with like-minded people, and enjoy a social drink too!

This club is unbeatable for combining fitness with social life. If you're new to Bristol and want to make friends with similar interests, or just want to try something new, you'll definitely find it all at CRC. Such great fitness sessions and so many opportunities to socialise and make friends. Rob is dedicated to creating an inclusive, positive and social community for everyone- such a great club to be part of!

Amazing fitness and social club with members of all abilities, from beginners to marathoners. Fun sessions, predominantly focused on strength, speed and hills. The coach makes each session different, and you can work to your own ability. I joined when I had only just started running and quickly felt part of the club and have made some great friends there.

I joined CRC when I was new to Bristol 2 years ago. Since then I have made some really great friends, enjoyed all sorts of social activities from camping to ski holidays to nights out, and to boot my fitness has improved ten fold. Couldn't think of a better way to get fit, make friends and feel good about yourself!

Clifton Running Club is great fun! There are so many different parts to it - running, circuits, football, netball, cycling and more! There's something for everyone and all abilities. It's super sociable and a great place to meet people if you're new to Bristol. Rob is a great personal trainer too who helps with technique and getting you motivated with all of his energy. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

I absolutely love coming to CRC sessions! I've never looked forward to exercise before but the amazing friendly people, varied and interesting sessions and top guidance given by Rob (the trainer) have made me into a fitness lover 🙂 I've been coming for over a year now and my fitness levels and confidence have increased dramatically in that time. There are socials happening nearly every night of the week so it's impossible not to make new friends!
