Reach out to us
We love to have a chat with all of our new sign ups, so after you join send us a message to say hi!
-
Yes, absolutely. We don’t believe in long-term contracts, so all of our memberships are on a monthly-rolling basis. In short, that means if you message us before you membership renews, we will stop your next payment going through (minimum of 24 hour notice required).
Cancellations are quick and easy - simply send us an email/message and we will sort everything from our side. When you cancel you will not be charged again.
-
Currently there are no formal group/family discounts on offer, however, exceptions have been made which make it cheaper for teenagers to attend classes along with their parent/guardian who is an existing member. If you think this could apply to you feel free to get in touch!
Arrangements are made on a case by case basis.
-
You must be at least 16 years old to be able to sign up and train by yourself.
Those who are younger than 16 (and older than 13) are also welcome to train - provided they are fully supervised by a guardian or parent and permission has been directly granted by us. In such cases we usually recommend they attend classes along with a parent/guardian where they can also benefit from the supervision of a qualified coach.
-
Of course! We are strong believers in ‘try before you buy’ and we’re always happy to chat and discuss your training needs. You’re more than welcome to come down and trail a class before signing up.
You must contact us before coming down as there is no guarantee someone will be there to get you sorted. Simply send us a message, and we’ll schedule a time for you.

We specialise on introducing members to CrossFit and the experience levels within our membership varies from advanced (RX) the whole way to absolute beginners. All of our classes are expertly programmed to be scalable to suit any level of gym goer. Advanced members should still find classes to be challenging while beginners (and upwards) should be able to scale every movement and be afforded the opportunity to learn and to love the sport like we do.

Our door is always open to visitors because we know what it is like to be out of country and not have access to a gym or CrossFit facilities.
Our policy with guests is that we don’t charge any set fees but they are welcome to put something in the jar if they so wish. We meet in person the first time (because it’s always good to get a chat) then can give you a code for access to the door - or even get you booked in to any of our classes*. Just remember, we don’t take walk-ins so be sure to reach out to us here.

Absolutely. While we are primarily a CrossFit gym, we still technically a hybrid training space where members can train whatever and whenever they want. One of the great benefits of CrossFit allows us to have facilities and equipment for all different types of training.
Members are advised that it may get busy at class times but they are more than welcome to train around this.
