What our Clients have to say
Doing Crossfit in the morning is the perfect antidote for a work life spent sitting in front of a computer in an office. Doing a short, high intensity workout outside in the fresh air each day keeps me physically and mentally ready to deal with work and life stress, and because it is all over and done with by 8am in the morning, I can fit it in regardless of how busy I am at work or how chaotic the rest of my life is. You only have a short time in your life to explore your physical potential, and CrossFit's emphasis on continuously improving all the dimensions of fitness is the best way I've found to find out what my body can do. Also, working with a group makes it more fun and encourages me to push harder than I would if I was training by myself.

I used to do your standard gym-workouts 3 times a week with weights and cardio. My body shape hardly changed if ever and I never felt fit.
In the 3 months I have been at CrossFit some dramatic things have happened. The results speak for themselves:
- I can do 100 chin-ups.
- 4 weeks after I started training I ran the SMH Half-Marathon and finished in 2 hours
- Without specific training I finished the City 2 Surf in 80 mins
- I finished the 100km Oxfam Trailwalker. The focused and intense CrossFit trainings provided the stability and core strength for me to finish without injury.
I'm fitter than I ever was at school. Only now it's more expensive buying smaller suits. I spend less time in the gym, am fitter and eat healthier. I tell my friends there are no fat people at my gym. Some start that way, but they don't for long.

When I first started with CrossFit Sydney in April 2008 I thought I was pretty fit, but I was also really bored with my exercise routine. I was hooked from my first session and continue to enjoy the variety that each session offers. In the 6 months since starting CF I have maintained my bodyweight but have dropped about 4% bodyfat (that means I've gained some pure muscle) and have increased my pull ups and regularly post improved times on every WOD we do. I recently ran the Sydney Half Marathon and despite not having run more than 5km in the past 15 years (most recently ran 5km about a month before) I finished the race in about 2 hours - right in the middle of the pack. I took a rest day and was straight back into my CrossFit sessions. I'm full of energy and convinced that CrossFit works. It's the most fun I've had exercising for a long time. Andrew's knowledge is second to none and his expert advice and opinion is always valued.

Crossfit has been the best work out program I have ever completed. Overall my speed, strength, and endurance have improved drastically. I can not recommend anything better if you are serious about getting into outstanding shape.

I've never felt better in my life. CrossFit is a mental and physical workout, where you are always in competition with yourself and others. I found this competitive element helped me maintain focus and give the 110% you need to give to fully experience CrossFit. I've got to say that it is not just about feeling totally and utterly spent at the end of each session, but the skills you pick up in lifting and throwing and agility and balance, skills you need to improve in order to get the most out of CrossFit, keeps you mentally alert and interested. Finally, the huge variety of workouts keeps you fresh and looking forward to what each new session may hold. As I said, it works almost every muscle in the body, including the brain, and makes you more motivated and sharp for the whole day.
