Athlete X

Mel and her team are welcoming who made my daughter feel part of the team. My 13-year-old daughter thinks the atmosphere is great, the team and athletes are incredible.
​Thank you Athlete X

I LOVE this gym. Mel and the gang are so incredibly welcoming, they instantly make you feel part of the team. The atmosphere is great and the athletes are amazing. The Rates are super reasonable too which is the cherry on top. There's a coffee shop attached to the gym which serves delicious coffee in the mornings and a beautiful physio&pilates practice upstairs. There's also an ice bath and sauna for your post training needs.

I've trained in a lot of gyms and this one is right up there with my all time favourites. Don't miss the opportunity to train here!

I had been struggling to commit to the gym/ routine - until I found Athlete X.
When I joined the first thing that I felt was a real strong sense of community, the coaches and the members were so friendly and welcoming, instantly made me feel like I belonged here.
The training is all coach lead and programmed. The workouts are fun and progressive.
All the coaches are engaging, highly experienced and extremely friendly. I’ve been really happy with my progress in the gym thanks to the coaching at Athlete X.
I’ve also met some really wonderful people here.
Thank you Athlete X.

An unpretentious and welcoming space, with great coaches and a highly considered program. Whether you are learning how to gym or have been at it for years, this is the place to be. All you have to do is get to the door, and they handle the rest!

The moment I arrived at Athlete X I was greeted with smiles and I already felt like I belonged there. Trainers and gym goers alike were extremely welcoming and friendly. The programming for each class is clearly well prepared and there are always many scalable options for each exercise, making the workouts more inclusive. The coaching staff are second to none and are always carefully watching to ensure safe lifting and good techniques are being used to prevent injuries.

Thank you Athlete x - for the community you've built and the service you provide

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.

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.

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.
