Constantly Varied

Tired of the same exercises, hours on a bike or same sets and reps? What if every workout was different to the last? Olympic lifting, gymnastics, rope climbs, row, run, push, pull, throw, swing, flip. Become good at everything so you are ready for anything.

Functional Movement

Biceps curls don't happen in the real world. Train to not suck at life. Learn to lift heavy, safely. Learn to move quickly, efficiently. Take what you learn and be able to use it everyday - at work or at play - that's real fitness

Intensity

Don't spend hours training when you dont have to. Training at the right intensity not only cuts your training time down, but garners the greatest results. Come and experience it for yourself - you will be amazed at what you can do.

Fitness doesn't have to be about endless hours spent on spin bikes and ellipticals. Fitness should be functional, inclusive and most of all it should be fun!

The real world doesn't reward you for doing bicep curls or lateral raises. In life we all jump, lift, throw, push, squat, pull and press - which is why CrossFit focuses on functional movements. No rows of machines here - just functional equipment - free weights, pull up frames, gymnastic rings, med balls, ropes, kettlebells, resistance bands, sandbags and much, much more (all the fun stuff!).

We focus on high intensity cardio, a broad range of gymnastic movements and olympic weightlifting. We squat, deadlift, pull-up, clean, press, row, run, skip, climb, jump and flip. Why? - because you do these things everyday - every time you get out of a chair, lift something to a higher shelf, climb a ladder or pick up something heavy off the floor - you are doing functional movements. 

At CrossFit Warrnambool you will learn to excel at life - not be a passive bystander!

And best of all - you do it as part of a community, working out is meant to be social and rewarding

Just as we push our athletes to develop, evolve and become something greater - we as a business must do the same. After six months of planning, organising, drafting and developing we are finally in a position to unveil to you - the next evolution of CrossFit Warrnambool.

We have expanded - and not just in floorspace.

THREE DESIGNATED TRAINING AREAS.

We have done this to allow greater timetable space, the ability to run some exciting new challenges and programs as well as preserve the space and integrity of everyones training time. We know that you fight hard to carve out time from your busy schedule to train so we want to ensure every valuable minute is spent doing what needs to be done.

CrossFit - we will maintain our current Crossfit class space for exactly that - regular classes. This space will now be dedicated solely for this purpose. 

Open Gym/PT - the opposite end of the building (part of the new space) will accommodate intro classes, On Ramp, scheduled Open gym, school/club groups and more. This space will be fitted out to same degree as the CrossFit space allowing us as coaches and athletes to do anything and everything our training requires

Weightlifting - the rear training room will double in size and be fitted out with 6-8 individual stations for lifting, squats, bench - all the fun stuff. 

That's almost 800m2 of space dedicated solely to making us all healthier, faster, stronger, fitter.

MAKING LIFE EASIER.

Here's a few little bonuses to make getting to the Box and training a little easier.

Expanded Timetable - we will be running timetables for each training area, allowing you much more time for training across the day. Expanded open gym times, weekly programming and much more.

Reception - our new office/reception/athlete lounge will be in the new entrance at the end of the building. We will be stocking new ranges of goodies as well as giving you a space to chill out after class. 

Kids Area (Under Construction)- we will have a space designated especially for the small humans. An enclosed area for kids to play whilst mum or dad get their training in. 

Showers/Changerooms - we will be maintaining our mens and womens separate showers and changerooms.

NEW CHALLENGES.

We will be bringing two new programs to CrossFit, the full details will be out soon but in the meantime here's a quick summary.

Industrial Strength & Conditioning - An old school approach to developing fast, powerful, capable, freight train athletes. We utilise the major lifts as well as short, fast, heavy conditioning to wring maximum results from every minute of training. This will be open to everyone, with membership options available for just being part of the Industrial program. 

AND THAT'S JUST THE START...
