Athlete X

We got wind of this gym through word of mouth. Having previously been at a CrossFit gym for nearly 10 years, we decided it was time for a change and haven’t looked back. We were made welcomed straight off, the coaching staff are friendly and approachable. The gym caters for all levels of fitness and experience. You’re never too young or old to learn new skills or movements in a safe environment with no judgement. Highly recommend this gym, great people all round, including the members.

I was invited to leave a review for a place in which I have called a second home over the past 6 years. If you’d asked me back then if i would recommend Athlete X to my family and friends it would have been an overwhelming yes. Today not so much. In short the premium price is not justified by the poor coaching and lack of competitive drive. If you are serious about fitness this isn’t the place for you.With a change of primary owners comes a change of direction for this gym, and unfortunately what followed was a chain of poorly constructed business decisions which old and founding members like myself did not take lightly too, with a seemingly increasing desire to put profit above the members.From increasing weekly rates to a premium $75, (the most in the area) which was off the back of a poorly thought out economical purchase of a Sauna. It forced members regardless of intention to use the sauna or not to pay the costs of the mistake by the business. Who plans to use a sauna in Summer? What followed was yet another “business decision” to let go the only male coach and the only coach with qualifications suited to CrossFit and functional fitness. Leaving the level of experience and quality of teaching severely lacking and under the responsibility amateur coaches who fail to demonstrate movements themselves. As a result of this attention is solely put on new members, and those wishing to uspkill technique are forced to look elsewhere as the coaches simply don’t have the experience necessary. The programming is also not difficult, catering for beginners which disincentivises members to improve and sets low standards.It’s a place which preaches inclusiveness and “choose kind”. A motto which is decorated all over the walls and merchandise. Though the reality is that it’s an overwhelmingly woke environment with an abundance of clicky groups who have a distaste for any inconvenience to them.With a number of seasoned members choosing more competitive, cheaper and friendly options nearby I would suggest doing the same.

Been at AX for almost 3 years. It has genuine owners who actually listen, care and take an interest in your training/life without a catch or pressure to buy anything. The culture they have created with their members is incomparable to any other gym I’ve been to. I have not met a rude/arrogant person there yet (which in a regular gym is common). With so many ages and abilities, you can work at your own level and to your own goals. A particular exercise doesn’t work for you? They’ll change it. Feeling like you want to push harder? They’ll extend it for you.The hardest part of starting exercise is showing up.With AX having such a great vibe, it makes it a whole lot easier!

If you have an illness, and are worried your limitations will be a burden at a gym. This place is for you. I never feel like I am too hard or untrainable. And that means more to me than I think the beautiful coaches realise. You will not regret joining. It will be the best decision you have ever made.

My husband and I made the move from our old CrossFit gym, where we had been for 10/6 years respectively. It was a difficult and daunting decision initially, however the team at Athlete X were very welcoming and we have felt like part of the family right from the beginning.The programming, coaching, and knowledge of all the team is definitely a strength. Coaches take the time to get to know you and are always happy to help you adapt movements due to any injury or mobility issues. Training blocks focus on developing core strength and mobility for functional fitness based on cross-fit style movements, without the competitive nature that you have in many other gyms. You train at your level, and the community spirit means everyone’s achievements are celebrated. At 46 years old, I feel stronger and fitter than I ever have as a result of the programming and support I have received. Our move to Athlete X has been extremely positive and I could not recommend them highly enough.

Athlete X offer a great quality service for people from all walks of life. The individual support combined with the wholesome good vibes and motivating team atmosphere, makes it an all round experience to be a part of.They are very goals oriented, and really help to keep you on track with whatever it is you’re wanting to improve on, fitness or other.Their facility is also a one stop shop. The kind life & co cafe makes sure your beverage of choice is ready after your session.All The coaches understand that there are many aspects of life that can impact your fitness & training journey, and they do an amazing job to take these things into consideration as soon as you walk into the gym.

Great gym that has done wonders for the physical and mental health and well-being of our junior and senior players (and a number of community members too). We are truly lucky to have the fantastic people from AX (particularly Elijah and Mel) involved with our club.We couldn’t recommend a gym any higher than Athlete X!

Athlete X is an awesome gym with a fantastic energy! The coaches have created a fitness community which encourages members to take their fitness to next level! Starting at a new gym was daunting for myself, but I was guided and supported by coaches and other members! The group classes are suitable for everyone from beginner to experienced individuals. Over the past year I've made great progress in terms of strength and endurance! Couldn't recommend Athlete X enough!

Great facilities and trainers that promote an inclusive team environment whilst caring for your individual needs. A credit to both management and members for creating a positive training environment for all.
