CrossFit Victoria

Really difficult to join unless you want to pay for intro courses and nonsense long term joining fees. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to walk into a gym as a man and pay individual sessions at your discretion and get on with it, not here I am afraid, prepare to go through hoops to just get on with it.

After years of a variety of exercises from "dancing" in a high impact class, pump, cycle, to traditional weight lifting style ( i.e back and bi's, chest and tri's etc) i decided it was time for some variety. CrossFit has done a couple of things: it has challenged my definition of fitness and it has offered me an opportunity to really consider the mechanics of my movements so i don't injure myself. But by far the greatest attraction of this big tin box is the "community". Strangers encourage your set, people whose names you don't know cheer you on and offer friendly suggestions to improve your technique or attempt a noval exercise. How often do you go the gym and speak to no one but the reception staff? How often are you conscious of the competitiveness of the fellow on the next bench, who wont share his/her weights. How often do you feel intimidated by those exercising around you.......WELL if you want something different to this, try CrossFit You will be challenged, ...read more

Nothing but good things to say. Amazing trainers, great facilities and an excellent environment to stay fit. People have asked me why I go the the gym so often. After thinking about it, it is mainly because I just don't want to miss a single day. I've got a bunch of friends to casually compete against, the warm-ups and workouts are both fun and challenging and the trainers are excellent resources at my disposal.

I contacted crossfit Vic via email and spoke to a staff (a great salesman and motivator btw - the star is for him). I arrived tonight at 6.10pm to sign up and try out an elements session (for technique etc). The gym looked gr8 and the training seemed fun. I stood at the front office (clearly a new client) and sadly not one staff member came to my assistance. At $250 a month I would have thought that a staff member would be on hand to sign up new clients (especially before an elements class). The training sessions are only half of the reason people sign up!! I'll be going elsewhere.
