Welcome!

Thank you for choosing CrossFit Effects (CFX), the best strength and conditioning gym in Australia for your fitness needs. CFX provides clients with comprehensive health and fitness programming. With experience in training athletes, military’s special forces and at home mommy’s, we have developed a fitness program that is second to none. We furnish general and sport specific conditioning programming, injury prevention training, and coaching. Our focus is a core strength and conditioning program that is constantly varied to create a stimulus like no other.
Your Training!

CFX begins your training with setting up goals and starting with the 9 fundamental movements (squat, front squat, over-head squat, press, push press, push jerk, deadlift, sumo-deadlift high pull, med ball clean). Afterwards, we will determine the type of workout most suitable for you based upon your fitness goals and abilities. You should expect that gradual progress in achieving your goals is the normative. Our bodies adjust to physical stresses slowly. It’s important, therefore, that you remain patient during the entire process and expect results over an extended period. The keywords in physical training are patience, consistency, and more patience!

Workouts are conducted at CFX, and last approximately one hour (unless otherwise changed).

The Purpose of this training is to improve not only your performance but also your life! Our research and development over the years in training for not only ourselves, but others has been aimed at getting us and you to our fitness goals, regardless of our potential athletic ability. The training that we have learned is designed to provide you with the proper means to achieve your desired results with these goals.

We are extremely proud of the clients/athletes we have trained over the years and their continued commitment to a healthier, more efficient lifestyle. We consider each of these people including you an athlete! We must stress that as an athlete you are ultimately responsible for your own performance.

Results are not guaranteed; THEY ARE EARNED!

The stimulus provided is always varied and the results are dramatic. The atmosphere is one of support and camaraderie to anyone willing to put in the work.

Our techniques are operationally tested and proven to develop the very best in physical capability.

Importantly, we believe that CrossFit trainers should lead by example.
