Small Group Functional Fitness in Manchester
A fully equipped training box in the Arches by the AO Arena, with coached classes capped at 10.
We handle everything.
Just turn up and bring the effort
Programming is hard, and it’s one of the most common places people limit their own progress. We plan every session for you in structured blocks, coach your technique and adjust things as you improve. You just need to turn up ready to work.
Training Methods
Never More than 10 Per Class
We believe 10 is the sweet spot. Small enough for accountability and individual coaching, but big enough to keep the atmosphere and energy of a group session. Our workouts change weekly and because classes are kept small you can push yourself, progress your workload and try new techniques with a coach watching.
Personalised Coaching
Rush242 Community
The best part of Rush242 is the people. Everyone here cares about their fitness, and with regular events outside of class there’s a lot more to it than the workouts.

Yes. Every workout is scaled to you, and your coach sets the right starting point at your free taster. With never more than 10 in a class, you’re coached properly from day one. We've got all the equipment for all levels of ability - all you need to bring is the effort.
Your free taster is a normal group class. Pick any session on the timetable and arrive a few minutes early so your coach can say hello and check if there’s anything they should know. Then you train with the group, with the workout scaled to you. No pressure to sign up afterwards.
It means you never have to work out what to do. Your coaches plan the programming in periodised blocks, set goals with you, coach your technique and move your weights and scaling on as you progress. Nutrition guidance backs it up, and a group that expects to see you keeps you consistent. You just turn up and bring the effort.
Both. Our small-group functional fitness classes (never more than 10) are at the heart of Rush, with sessions running six days a week. If you’d rather train 1:1, our coaches also offer personal training and can help with personalised nutrition planning.
£99 a month for up to 3 sessions a week, or £129 unlimited. No contract. If you prefer to pay as you go then credit packs and day passes are available too. All options include coaching, programming and a sessions capped at 10, and your first class is free.
Arch 3, Arena Court, Mirabel St, Manchester M3 1PJ, in a railway arch directly opposite the AO Arena, between Manchester Victoria and Salford Central. You'll see the RUSH sign outside or listen out for the tunes and unmistakable sound of a max-effort WOD.
We have a couple of dedicated spaces which are first-come-first-serve. The box is well situated though less than 5 mins from Manchester Victoria Station and Salford Central is only a short walk away so there are plently of transport options.
