FAQs
What should I expect at my first CrossFit class?
We won't throw you straight into a group class. If you're new, we first book a free 1:1 intro session where we explain how classes work, take you through a movement screen, and finish with a moderate workout pitched at your current level.
From there we recommend an on-ramp program covering the basics of CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting and gymnastics, so you feel confident before your first group session.
A typical class starts with a coach-led warm up and a whiteboard brief covering the workout and scaling options. Then comes a strength or skill piece, the workout itself, and then we pack up and log our scores in our app.
What do I need to bring to my first class?
A water bottle, comfortable workout clothes and relatively flat gym shoes. We provide all other equipment. Please eat beforehand: a carb-based meal 1.5 to 2 hours before class, or a piece of fruit or other quick-acting carb about 40 minutes before if it's an early morning session or it's been a while since you've eaten.
Do I need to be fit to start CrossFit?
No. CrossFit is designed to help you become fit. Every workout can be scaled and modified to suit your current fitness, experience and any injuries, whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced athlete.
How much does a CrossFit membership cost?
Unlimited membership is $65 per week (billed $130 fortnightly) and Part Time, with your choice of 3 classes a week, is $60 per week (billed $120 fortnightly). Masters small group training, for up to 3 sessions a week, is $100 billed fortnightly. Memberships have a 12-week minimum initial commitment and 2 weeks' notice to cancel. See our pricing page for everything included.

Do you run CrossFit classes for kids?
Yes. CrossFit Kids is for ages 5 to 12, no experience necessary, and runs Thursdays from 4:15 to 5:00pm during school terms ($220 per term, paid up front). We also run a school holiday program on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:15 to 4:15pm ($65 per day).
What is the Masters Class?
The Masters Class is low-impact small group training, capped at 8 people. These 45-minute sessions suit our masters members and anyone returning to fitness after a long break, using controlled, fluid reps and low-impact movements that go easy on the joints.
Can I train during pregnancy or postpartum?
Our coaches have experience in pregnancy and postpartum training, and 1:1 personal training is available with that focus. Check with your doctor or midwife first, then get in touch and we'll talk through what suits you.
