ABOUT UNIT 54
Unit 54 is a unique and new revolutionary facility with its own style of indoor and outdoor training covering Hybrid and Functional fitness. We are a privately owned facility set on its own grounds in the beautiful countryside on the outskirts of Bath and Bristol.
We have created our very own style of fitness from functional strength and Olympic lifting, GRFT Full Gas cardio classes, Hybrid and Hyrox, GRFT Yard Work, and to top it off we have our very own Thermal Hot and Cold recovery centre.
We have moved away from the commercial gym environment so you can experience and enjoy fitness and reap the benefits whilst being part of an ever-growing member-based community. Unit 54 is like no other, and we facilitate all abilities from our Legends Classes down to our Mini GRFT’ERS!
THE OWNERS
MEET JOE, HEAD COACH
Yo! I’m Joe “Tux” Tucker, founder of GRFT Training, co-owner of Unit 54, father of five girls, ex-professional cricketer, and your head coach alongside my beautiful partner, Millie.
I spent nine years playing professional cricket, representing England U19 at World Cup level before injury ended my career at 25. Along the way I developed a passion for strength and conditioning, gaining qualifications in weightlifting, speed and agility, and coaching. On top of this, I've worked with some of the best strength and conditioning coaches in the world!
After running my own construction business for 17 years, I returned to my true passion, fitness. What started as a small “Studio 54” has grown into today’s Unit 54 GRFT Training Club, a full training and recovery facility where we help people of all levels achieve their goals.
Millie and I compete in Hyrox and endurance races, and together we’ve built a community focused on training smart, working hard, and enjoying the process.
That’s me - Coach Tux.
THE COACHING TEAM
Meet the people behind the coaching at UNIT 54. A team with serious experience, a love for what they do, and one goal - helping you become better, stronger and more confident in your training.
IZZY (left)
Izzy has an EPIC coaching and competition background and we’re bloody lucky to have her bringing that experience to UNIT 54.
She started CrossFit in 2019 before moving to Sacramento, USA in 2021, where she coached CrossFit and worked as a Personal Trainer at Iron Mile Fitness. She also ran The Overcome Project, a non-profit using fitness to bring hope, connection and community to young people. Away from coaching, Izzy has competed in CrossFit at Elite and RX level, both individually and as part of a team.
Now back in the UK, she’s ready to bring all that knowledge, experience and competitive fire to HQ and put you through your paces.
IZZY (middle)
With 10+ years of coaching experience, Izzy brings a serious depth of knowledge to the UNIT 54 coaching team.
She has built her experience through years of competing, coaching and programming, both for herself and for the athletes around her.
Her reputation within the competitive CrossFit world speaks for itself, but what really sets her apart is her ability to take that knowledge and turn it into great coaching.Whether you’re just starting out or chasing your next big performance, Izzy knows how to get the most out of you.
EMMA (right)
Emma discovered CrossFit while living in New Zealand back in 2012 and has been hooked on functional fitness ever since.
She’s an experienced coach and high-level Masters athlete, most recently taking the win at the 2026 CrossFit Games. But Emma’s focus isn’t just on her own performance. She’s passionate about quality coaching and helping athletes get better, whether that’s in a group class or through 1:1 coaching. Over the years, she’s coached and developed athletes at every level, from complete beginners to competitive CrossFitters.
That’s the team behind UNIT 54.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"After years of suffering with my weight and fitness I was looking for a gym to go to without feeling out of place. Luckily I found Unit 54. I would recommend any of the services that Unit 54 has to offer, purely based on how I feel in the gym and the level of support I have been given. If you’re looking for a supportive group of people to get you over the line to reach your goals then these are your people."
NATH
"2.5 years ago, after having a baby, I joined Unit54, and it’s honestly the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ve lost weight, toned up, and made amazing friends for life. The atmosphere is so friendly and encouraging, and our coach, Joe, is knowledgeable, approachable, and incredibly supportive. Unit54 isn’t just a place to train, it’s become my lifestyle!"
LOU
"Unit 54 has honestly changed my life, I didn’t enjoy exercising before joining. As I’ve lost more weight and become fitter & healthier, I now really enjoy it. I love pushing myself and feel incredible after a workout. I’m always talking about this gym. It’s an incredible community of people. Anyone can train at the big brand gyms, but this gym is so unique, also has an incredible supportive atmosphere."
