Getting Started

The First step to Getting Started:

Read our Club Policy then read the”About” section to get an Overview of the CrossFit Program. The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability, making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same exercises for elderly individuals and Athletes. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

Our Club Policy

We are looking for the right people, people that are positive, motivated and fun to be around. We have people from all walks of life, age groups, and abilities that train side by side. CrossFit is community grown which means our members are the ones that grow it. To grow it must be somewhere people want to be.

If you’re negative, want to gossip, segregate yourself or compare others so they feel intimidated, then you won’t be welcome and we will ask you to leave without hesitation. We are NOT a commercial gym, we are privately owned so we don’t have to please anyone apart from the people here. In other words, we don’t have to put up with anyone’s shit! There are plenty of gyms that don’t care about you…. so feel free to complain in those gyms as much as you like.

We only offer 2 options for payment:

  1. Fortnightly direct debit, on a month-by-month agreement. 1-month notice after the next billing date is all that is required to suspend or cancel.
  2. If you want to pay up front it is pro rated until the end of financial year eg. We conduct all our paid up front renewals in June, (Eg: If you join in Feb you pay up until June 30th.)  We do NOT accept cash payments on a monthly basis. We do this to simplify our operations and avoid getting tied up in admin. We believe that you pay us for coaching not for filing paperwork streams of renewal paperwork each day.

If you are a CrossFitter from overseas or interstate we will charge you our weekly rate x the amount of time that you are here in one lump sum payment.

We DO NOT coach PT’s or other trainers to teach their own clients.

You cannot attend classes if you have not done fundamentals unless you are a member of another CrossFit Affiliate, to do fundamentals you must be willing to become a member. 

We keep our policy strict so we can deliver quality coaching and put our time into our members

The Second Step: Free Intro Session

This is a session, in which we evaluate your fitness level and you can get a feel for what we do and how we do it. We’ll take you through a specialized warm-up to start the evaluation process. Next, skill training, to evaluate the level of training you will need, and finally, the workout. After which we’ll go over the next course of action for you and the answer any questions you might have.

The Third Step: Fundamentals Program

CrossFit utilizes a broad range of multi-joint functional movements from three different modalities: weightlifting, gymnastics, and monostructural (commonly known as cardio). We introduce you to the fundamental exercises over 4x 1on1 Personal Training session. The (Squat, Pull-up, Deadlift, Sumo Deadlift High Pull, Medicine Ball Clean, Shoulder Press, Push Press, Push Jerk and others) in our “Fundamentals program”. After you complete the 4 sessions and you still need some work, we will get you in before or after classes to work on your technique.

We assess fitness levels, movement patterns, flexibility, and use this information to design and tailor your workout progressions.

These sessions help us understand your fatigue limits in a closely monitored environment. This is important so that we know when to modify a workout, offer support, or give you a kick in the ass. The thing to remember is unlike showing you a leg press which you can learn in 2 minutes, teaching you how to move properly takes that longer and a bit more experience.

The Fourth Step: CrossFit Classes

Once you have completed the Fundamentals Program, you can jump in as many regular classes as you would like. The regular classes are 1 hour long and generally consist of: a warm up, a set of technical movements (that will be demonstrated and then broken down into coached steps) and a Workout of the Day (WOD). After this we spend about 10-15 mins on mobility exercise and stretching, this is just an important and the exercise itself.

The WOD can vary in length from 3min-60min, but generally are around 8-20min long. In regular classes you will expand your repertoire of movements as you continue to develop. Regular classes will rarely, if ever, be the same as another day. Constantly varied, functional movements, performed at high intensity is the goal. A month of these classes will have a solid effect on your life.

Yes we are more expensive than traditional gyms.

Chances are your reading about us because you are NOT getting value for what your paying now or you just want to do CrossFit! We aren’t charging you to cover our payments on expensive, non-functional machines that look flashy and that provide you with a rack to rest your magazine that you read while talking on your phone and “working out”. You pay us for focused, personalised training. You pay us to be responsible for and attentive to your progress. You pay us to program your workouts for you. You pay us to teach you to move correctly and safely. You pay us to support you in making optimal nutrition changes. You pay us to be your guides and support for increasing your health and fitness. Compared to the “take a number”, “I’ve forgotten what you want from me, but all my clients are doing bicep curls today” personal training you pay for in many places-we are a phenomenal value. We do not pay our staff peanuts to fill your water bottle and show you how to press start on a treadmill, we pay our staff very well as what they deliver is exceptional. We too stand by “you get what you pay for!”
