Functional U: Opinions

4.9/5 (35 Opinions)

Fantastic experience: Awesome box! 6 months in, gained 5kg muscle mass and can now squat 100kg!

Fantastic experience: I've been at Crossfit U from the start as a foundation member and have witnessed the gym continue to grow from strength to strength over the past year. Personally, my gains have gone through the roof and my awareness of all the different movements have significantly improved from the day I started. The coaching team are excellent and are always focusing on proper technique execution and safety during every workout. Keep up the awesome work guys!

Fantastic experience: Went down for a competition to raise money for charity. The gym and comp was organised very well and there is a great community. Would recommend the gym to anyone who wants to change their lifestyle and be healthier with a great community.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in for a casual class at CFU over a year ago and realised it was the right place as soon as I walked in. I haven’t looked back. The coaches are very competent and dedicated. Poor technique and laziness won’t be tolerated. Thanks to the CFU crew I’m now faster, fitter and stronger than ever. If Alex and Rosa’s good cop / bad cop routine isn’t enough to motivate you, CFU has an amazingly supportive community – a great bunch of individuals always ready to work hard and have fun, both inside and outside of the gym. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: The guys are great, knowledgable and motivating. They ease you into it as it can seem a bit daunting to start. There is a great mix of guys and girls. Social and low ego place to workout. Also offer yoga and nutrition classes. This beats going to the gym hands down.

Fantastic experience: I've really enjoyed my time at CrossFit U, the team are really committed to getting the very best out of you and helping you achieve your personal goals. The focus on not only the mastery of technique, but the building of a community to support you during your time there is very inspiring, and I would highly encourage anyone who is even curious about CrossFit to speak to the team at CrossFit U.

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers/owners who are highly experienced and very passionate. You can tell they love what they do and take so much pride of their business. These guys make it an absolute joy to get out of bed on a frosty day to train. I cannot speak more highly of this fitness centre.

Fantastic experience: Having never enjoyed "traditional" gyms, Crossfit U provides an environment to push yourself hard, while working out with a group of friends. A focus on movement, strength and health has established a community that enjoy working out together, as well as socialising together (occasionally at the same time, to the chagrin of the coaches). There was never any mention of weight, nor ability, just a focus to keep moving. 8 months after joining, I've been in the gym 3 times per week (and look forward to every session), have lost almost 20kg, am a lot stronger, feel great and have met some close friends. I'm now curious to see what I can achieve for the rest of the year.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at CFU Melbourne for just over three months now and have loved every minute of it! The workouts are constantly changing and evolving, which is fantastic; this makes it fun to keep coming back as it is always fun and challenging. The main reason to come back though is the great community feel one gets at the box. The coaches have been wonderful. They are very attentive to each member's development and always providing feedback and tips on each athlete's technique. Recently whilst on holiday, I did a session at another box in the UK and the coach commented on my excellent technique and was very surprised that I had only been crossfitting for three months; this a true testament to the excellent coaching and dedication Ben and Alex have put into the box and its members. One must not though, forget to mention the other members! I've always felt welcomed and encouraged by other members each time I've come to the box and can truly say that to be able to workout in such an awesome, energetic and encouraging atmosphere has been fundamental in my recent gains in strength and fitness. I'm very happy and proud to report that a long time goal of mine was recently achieved at the box; that is.. to be able to do a pull-up; of which now I can do multiple. Give it a go. Even if it sounds scary or daunting. And no, you don't need to be superfit to start. To get fit, everyone needs to start from somewhere.

Fantastic experience: I'd never done much fitness type stuff before joining Crossfit U. Or rather, I'd never found exercise that I actually enjoyed and stuck to for more than a month. However, from my first session here I was hooked. The workouts are always different, always challenging but always fun. The rush of endorphins you get when lying on the floor after finishing a hard WOD is unlike anything you could get a regular gym. The coaching is also excellent, with plenty of individual attention given even in a larger class. It was clear from day one that the coaches are very experienced in teaching people from complete beginners to competitive athletes. There are opportunities to join in classes focused on olympic lifting, and also competition training if you're keen to work on particular skills. Another great thing about Crossfit U is the community, a group of people who come together to work hard and have fun. We compete with each other in the WODs but also support each other whilst developing strength and fitness. If you're thinking about trying Crossfit, then Crossfit U is the best place to do it. Even if you think you're too unfit for crossfit - because everything can be scaled to your own ability. You'll be amazed at how quickly your skills and strength develop under the teaching of Crossfit U coaches Alex and Rosa. You'll learn to love the hard work because it gets results. Overall, I would (and I do) recommend Crossfit U to anyone who wants to get fit whilst actually enjoying it.

Fantastic experience: Functional U is easily the most comfortable and confident I've ever felt in a Crossfit gym. The coaches offer great personalised feedback and the workouts are super varied and fun!

Stuart N 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place. While it's true that most Crossfit boxes offer a great experience, Functional U has something special. The coaches have designed a strong training program and there is a focus on building a FU community spirit. This box is one of the best.

Omar Odeh 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Functional U is undoubtedly the best CrossFit box in Melbourne - Knowledgeable coaches, friendly staff and a truly supportive community! Suitable for all ages and levels of experience, you won't find a more professional or lovely bunch of humans! A special shout to the owner, Alex - I am beyond grateful for your incredible generosity! ✌

Fantastic experience: Beautiful box, it's the place where you'll find great vibes and energy, amazing coach's there, I've been training for almost 6 months and They're pushing me to improve every day, thanks for that...

Lee Emberton 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place isn't an ordinary gym... its like your personal workout warehouse in west Melbourne, a place to feel comfortable, get sweaty and enjoy the community whilst reaching your personal fitness goals. If you are starting out this is the place to come the coaches will teach you whilst those around you will support you so you just cannot help to keep motivated. Highly recommended.

Jeff Yates 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I couldn't be more enthusiastic about this gym! I just love going here. Alex and the coaches facilitate the best vibes in their crossfit classes. The community here at the gym and around North Melbourne are incredibly supportive in a class with encouragement and after class over coffee. Highly recommended!!!

Issellnc Christinea 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The coaches go out of their way to put you in a routine that's perfect for you. I was very impressed and the ability to scale routines makes me want to come back for more.

Jasmine Tremblay 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: A friendly and fun way to get fit! I didn't understand gyms or how to get the most out of weights, rigs and my own balance. Now I'm getting stronger and fitter everyday with the help of wonderful coaches and some sweet tunes! Thanks CFU!

Alana Corbett 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym.. Great community.. Great coaches.. Came here after having a kid and found it a great place to get back in shape. Helped me with my nutrition and most of all motivation. I’ve been to quite a few gyms previously and this one I’ve ended up staying at and haven’t looked back.

DanShi1996 4 years ago

Positive experience: I was disappointed, I was expecting a place where they would teach you how to crossfit and help you grow and improve your movements, but instead I found a place where you do not seem to exist, coaches are not attentive to what you do and it seems that They only want you for the money, it is also an expensive place in my opinion. It's a good box, but it does not have good rutine.

Doran McGregor 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: The coaches really care about the members and make it a fun place to train. The workouts are varied and scalable for everyone. Being fairly new to Melbourne it’s great to have somewhere to go to meet new people and train with a great community.

Fantastic experience: I was not sure if CrossFit would be for me but these guys have made me feel like I belong right from the first day. All the trainers are safety conscious and quick to offer alternatives for things I'm not up to yet.

Positive experience: Friendly and knowledgeable coaches.Good facilities and equipment. I did not get to experience this, but they seemed to have a good approach in community building with community events like a "movie night".
