CrossFit® CBD: Opinions
Fantastic experience: About to finish ~6 months training at CrossFit CBD and have loved it. Karl, Steph, Joseph, Anthony and Ryan always made the classes worth the time and effort. Best hour of your day. Whether you’re looking to meet new people, stay active, try something new, or have a competitive outlet, CrossFit CBD is the spot. Get yourself signed up. I will miss the 9am/4:30pm squad
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym!
Fantastic experience: Great coaching, programming and community ✨
Fantastic experience: Great crossfit box in the heart of the cbd. The coaches are supportive and appreciate not all memebers are elite athletes. The members are so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I feel lucky to have found this place, since the first day I felt part of its great and kind community. Although not know English very well all the coaches are patient and teach you with love ☺️
Fantastic experience: Whether you’re in for one session or looking to go for the long haul, CrossFit CBD is the place for everyone. You’ll be taught to move safely, scale as appropriate and, above all, enjoy movement. It isn’t easy finding places with a genuine community but Karl & Steph have built and fostered just that in abundance, filtering down to all of the coaches and members alike.
Fantastic experience: Amazing owners with so much passion and run the Affiliate in the way CrossFit was designed, constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity, with a good warm up so you feel ready and a solid cool down. Not only have i found a great CrossFit affiliate here and got healthier and fitter, but i have also made great friends.
Fantastic experience: The adorable coaching staff stands out for their remarkable ability to cater to diverse learning needs. Particularly noteworthy is their adeptness in accommodating people, like myself, who experience difficulty processing verbal instructions. Through tactile demonstrations and alternative explanations, they ensure comprehension of movement techniques. This commitment to inclusivity is commendable, fostering a supportive environment. Their dedication to continuous improvement and passion for assisting members in achieving our fitness goals is evident. Lastly, thanks guys for all support during the mornings (9am team).
Fantastic experience: I challenge anyone to find more passionate, dedicated and skilled CrossFit Box owners than Karl and Steph. This is the authentic CrossFit experience where movement quality and inclusivity is paramount. Having had 3 back operations including a fusion they have provided a safe environment to progress skills, movement proficiency and feel part of a growing community. All coaches are highly trained and share the owners passion and movement standards. Call in and experience this for yourself.
Fantastic experience: I remember that I just came to Crossfit CBD and was very unfamiliar with the whole training mode, coaches and people here. Since it was the first time I tried the CF program, I had many doubts about myself, but the coaches and people here helped me build my confidence. Many times when I come to Crossfit CBD, I feel like I have returned to my home. I have loved family and friends here, which makes me feel like I am home❤️
Fantastic experience: Love everything and everyone here in CrossFitCBD, joined this family for only 5 months but I already want to call it home❤️ the coaches here create such a safe environment for everyone to grow stronger and better day by day. The workouts are never easy but I survived them all(so far). Really really happy with the progress I’ve made
Fantastic experience: You can workout at every crossfit box, and you can definitely get challenged at every crossfit box - but you may not be able to get the same level of care, sincerity and knowledge like you can at CrossFit CBD. The coaching team here is a m a z i n g. They are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and patient. And if you think you know enough - be prepared to be surprised, because the coaches will give you a new gift of knowledge every time you walk through their doors. On top of that, the level of care that you get from the coaches here is immaculate. Every single individual is cared for, no matter how advanced or how new you are to CrossFit. The community here is also the most supportive i’ve ever seen. Everyone is genuinely happy for each other’s successes, and every individual is celebrated. As a fairly new member of only a month, i’ve felt so welcomed. It makes training so much more enjoyable and joyful! I highly recommend anyone stepping foot into Melbourne to give CrossFit CBD a try. I can guarantee that you’ll walk out happier than you walked in!
Fantastic experience: CrossFit CBD is not your typical CrossFit gym. Many people are worried about the risks of injuries and the intimidating atmosphere often associated with CrossFit, which made me hesitant before joining. However, Karl, Steph, and their team of highly trained coaches go above and beyond to provide a safe and welcoming environment for EVERYONE, building genuine connections with their members. Over the past 7 months, they've not only helped me get fitter and stronger but also taught me how to become a better person. Their influence doesn't stop at the gym – it's changed how I eat, move and respond to challenges. I've started paying more attention to what I eat, choosing healthier options. Plus, I've noticed I'm better at handling stress and challenges in my daily life. Although I know there's still a long way to go, I'm grateful to be a member of this incredible community created by Karl, Steph, Ryan, Anthony, Kirby, and all the other members. Their genuine and continuous support has made this journey truly remarkable. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Great community and good vibes. Coaches are very experienced. I wasn’t always the most athletic person and started CrossFit with 0 experience. The fact is that CrossFit comes with scaling options and is beginner friendly. The coaches break down each movement in sections and explain in detail. Would recommend if you’re new to CrossFit and want to challenge yourself!
Fantastic experience: CrossFit CBD is an amazing community, it embraces everyone regardless of their fitness levels or prior CrossFit experience. Karl and Steph plus all the other coaches are so welcoming and have taught me so much over the two years I’ve been a member. Would highly recommend anyone who is curious about CrossFit to pop by and give this box a go
Fantastic experience: The Best CrossFit gym ever! The community is super AMAZING! Head Coach Karl and Steph along with Coach Ryan, Kirby and Anthony are fantastic and bring fun and fresh challenges everyday which keeps one strong mentally and physically. Always keeping the workouts fun. If you are in Melbourne CrossFit CBD is a must visit! #livestrong
Fantastic experience: If I could give 100 stars, I would! CrossFit CBD is a welcoming community that delivers top-notch coaching, support for members and the best hour of your day (and truly, so much more) Thank you, Steph and Karl!
Fantastic experience: A bit of an overdue review this, as I’ve been a member of CrossFit CBD for over 2 years now. At least I can say I know the gym well :) I’d been a member of a few other CrossFit gyms before I moved to Melbourne and tried this one. How lucky I was that it was near my apartment at the time! The dedication, professionalism, and passion of the coaches is unrivalled. They go the extra mile to make everyone feel welcome and build that sense of community that I had never experienced before in other gyms. For me it’s a ‘safe haven’ amongst the hustle and bustle of Melbourne CBD, and I do feel at home and among friends when I’m there. The coaches’ method puts safety and technique first, and this has been a game changer for me. In previous gyms I felt I constantly had to overdo it and go heavier than I should have, meaning that I was very often sore and the results were slow to come. At CBD, however, the coaches made me realise that if you take a step back and focus on getting the movement right, then you can take two forward in less time, and most of all without injuring yourself. It is really a gem in the heart of Melbourne and I’m lucky to have found it. ✌
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend CrossFit CBD to anybody wanting to give it a try. The workouts are challenging but the coaches make all workouts scaleable and accessible for every level of fitness! The community is amazing, always cheering each other on. It's such a positive and motivating environment!
Fantastic experience: Fun, welcoming and great work out.
Fantastic experience: Great location for drop-ins, been around for a long time and the coaching team is just awesome. The community is super welcoming and supportive. On the days when you don't feel like working out, you're glad you showed up.
Fantastic experience: Karl and Steph are amazing coaches, I’m so glad I found this little golden nugget hidden in the laneways of Melbourne. All the staff and members have made me feel welcome, safe and pushed me more than what I could have done alone. The location is also ideal as I work in the city.
Fantastic experience: I dropped into this CrossFit from overseas and had such a positive experience. The coaches were fantastic and the members were welcoming and helpful. I felt that I learned a lot in my short time here, while also feeling supported along the way. The process to drop in was extremely easy through their app (I especially loved that they had a choice of a 6 day pass along with the day pass). I would 100% suggest this CrossFit to travelers and new members!
Fantastic experience: Dropped in while visiting Melbourne from overseas. Very easy sign up process as guests, website has all the information needed and the community is very friendly. Location is very central and price is reasonable, highly recommended to visit this box!
Thank you so much for your review Alexandra! We are thrilled to hear that you found the process of dropping in so easy. We hope that you can come and visit us again :)Karl and Steph
Fantastic experience: Crossfit CBD is the most amazing gym in the centre of Melbourne! As I am on a working holiday visa, the community and people within this gym have created a home away from home for us. I was quite new to the crossfit scene at the beginning of the year and was really nervous to go which is why I love how supportive and encouraging the coaches are! They go above and beyond consistently for their members. From the consistency of the programming I cannot believe how much I have improved over the past year and how motivating everyone is around me! This crossfit box has a community like no other and I couldn't encourage people more to drop in if there are visiting Melbourne or take that leap and give it a go!
Thanks Abbie! You’re doing so well and your consistency is paying off!! Thanks for the rad review! ✌️Karl & Steph
Fantastic experience: CrossFit CBD made dropping in on holiday a breeze. Enthusiastic coaching, and friendly, encouraging environment made an evening of running and thrusters enjoyable, (as it can be ).
Thanks Stephanie for dropping in. We loved having come by.Thanks for leaving us such a lovely review, we’d love to have you back again if you’re in town :-)Karl & Steph
Fantastic experience: 장소가 넓진 않지만 코치가 매우 훌륭합니다
Fantastic experience: Amazing crossfit with awesome atmosphere. Coach very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely recommend! ✌
Fantastic experience: Welcoming and friendly box - Karl was very accommodating and great workouts. Thank you and will be back!
Positive experience: Friendly staff, well located, basically has all you need for any workout.
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing, welcoming community. The coaches are so passionate and encouraging - no matter your ability! Coaching style is very attentive to our own personal needs and skill levels to make sure that we’re feeling confident and safe but still being challenged to learn new things. Crossfit CBD has helped me love exercise again.
Fantastic experience: Karl & Steph (and the other amazing coaches) have created a community here. They take the time to get to know each and every athlete and encourage them to be the best version of themselves. I’ve been here nearly 5 years now and cannot recommend them highly enough. They’ve changed my whole life and given me access to so many amazing new friends!
Fantastic experience: Great energy and culture at this gym. Super welcoming and friendly for beginners and experienced crossfitters. If you're thinking of trying crossfit, this is the perfect gym to start in with their knowledgeable, caring coaches and lovely members.
Thanks for the kind words Alex. We love you! Karl & Steph
Fantastic experience: CrossFit CBD is an amazing community with at least 2 Level 3 coaches! Coupled with a phenomenal 81 year old and 19 year old, the range of people who call this box their goto is legendary! During CrossFit Open season, the three weeks are turned into a fun and exciting time for all! Theme weekends and all participating in the events was truly awesome to be a part of! If you are still thinking that CrossFit is not for you, think again!
Fantastic experience: Great gym, amazing community vibe and very knowledgeable coaches !
Fantastic experience: I did a drop in session and Coach Karl was very welcoming, demonstrated sound knowledge and clearly explained the wod and its intent. Great experience, highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Crossfit CBD is a great gym with small class sizes so you get lots of personal attention and coaching (from highly qualified and enthusiastic coaches). The atmosphere and community are second to none and incredibly welcoming. There's lots of people popping in when visiting Melbourne or just moved here, definitely a home away from home vibe
Fantastic experience: Really nice CF box in the heart of Melbourne. Dropped in for a class, Karl was quick to respond, very welcoming and accomodating with timing due to flights. Facility is clean, tidy and a truly well equipped box! I love how the entire gym wall almost are pasted with encouraging, uplifting words, photo walls and skills milestones. Coach Gina was cheering the whole way and that is wonderful support especially dropping in as a lone visitor. What a wonderful community. Shame I was flying in and out. Will definitely visit again with friends next time.
Fantastic experience: Great coaches and a perfect set up on the roof top! I am a Physio and send lots of my clients to Susan and Carl with full confidence in their management and training ability
Fantastic experience: Fantastic CrossFit gym in Melbourne’s CBD - Karl and Steph are knowledgeable and passionate coaches who I cannot recommend more. I really enjoy attending their beautiful facility of which is always clean, organised and always being improved. I highly recommend it!
Fantastic experience: There really needs to be more stars that 5 for Crossfit CBD. If you are looking for an inspiring crossfit gym to join - look no further. Being well known for my hatred of sport, or anything that even vaguely looks like physical activity. I'm more of a bookworm/bar fly (as my google maps history will support). A bush walk is usually as adventurous as my activities get. You get the drift.....so after a particularly sedentary period of studying almost full time, working full time, eating too many burgers and drinking too many beers, I decided it was time to atleast attempt some sort of intensive physical activity. So I went to one class at Crossfit CBD thinking that most likely it would be my last. I was wrong, very wrong. Its been over 18 months, 5 lockdowns and I love it. It's almost embarassing how keen I am to attend classes. Totally attributable to the wonderful coaches and amazing members at Crossfit CBD. The coaches are great at making you feel supported and for knowing just how much to push to get the best out of you. It's a real skill. Plus they have gone out of their way to support us through the lockdowns and to keep in contact. The IGTV video's are a highlight! There is plenty of time spent preparing, training and practising and it makes a real difference to the enjoyment of the workout. I could spend all day espousing the wonders of Crossfit CBD, but in the interests of space - come along, see what Crossfit CBD is all about!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit CBD is easily one of the best in Australia. They have great coaches who strive to be their best and practice it. With the main coaches achieving their L3 and L4 in crossfit. Where I find most stop at 2. They are super knowledgeable but also have great communication and scale the fitness to the level of the client. In session on the fly. If the client needs to decrease I saw them always quickly spot and they will offer advice (this was something the head coach did and got all his coaches do also) the advice can be taken or not. But they see and are looking for people doing technique correctly and change quickly. I didn't feel missed out when I was their. Along with this I didn't walk in and go straight to 100%. I eased up and achieved great results which I felt like was a common thing at the gym. Many clients came is weak and in a short time I saw people around achieving goals. Again so far this my favourite gym in Australia and yet to find better coaches or a better box. It ticks so many boxes which is what crossfit is about.
Fantastic experience: Superb Gym This gym is clean and well-maintained and the facilities are excellent. There is a solid Squat rack, standard Olympic barbells and plates along with most of the standard equipment one may need for a great workout.
Fantastic experience: Cozy rooftop gym, great community, attentive coaching
Fantastic experience: Dropped in from Las Vegas, Coach Karl and Coach Steph couldn’t have been nicer. Had an incredible class with some great people.
Fantastic experience: Great box
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, super awesome community and fun to workout on a rooftop in Melbourne city! Highly recommended to anyone.
Negative experience: Visited just once, the lady running the class was not even fit, no offence but it put me off to start with, then the class was just not up to crossfit standards that I have seen all over the world. Equipment was old and limited so was the space, overall not great. I won’t be going back
We are really sorry you didn't enjoy your experience at our unique rooftop gym. We definitely have a smaller gym and it is a unique space. We honestly believe in the training and the community at the rooftop and don't have a "flashy" gym with the latest and greatest of equipment. We don't believe having fancy equipment makes a difference. Having the right equipment and trainers who's sole focus is on helping our members obtain results using the core Crossfit principles is what we believe we must deliver.I also 100% agree I don't look or feel as fit as I use to but that's one of the downfalls of being 6mths pregnant. You are more than welcome back to the Rooftop of Dreams.
Fantastic experience: We dropped in twice at Crossfit CBD while on holiday, I have to say the location is the best I have been too. Working out on a nice sunny day on the top terrace of a building is definitely a great experience. The community were extremely friendly and welcoming. Thanks Crossfit CBD for the drop-in :)
Fantastic experience: Welcoming community, great coaches.
Fantastic experience: Good location and amazing class!
Fantastic experience: CrossFit CBD is an amazing and unique box in the heart of Melbourne - ever wanted to train on a rooftop?! Aptly named the Rooftop of Dreams by coaches and members alike, CrossFit CBD is a family and the community that has been created there is second to none. The coaches are super knowledgeable, follow traditional programming and care so much about each and every person that enters their facility. CrossFit CBD has changed my life for the better in every way, I have never been more fit or strong!
Fantastic experience: A fantastic Crossfit gym with dedicated and switched on coaches. The class sizes are small and the rooftop makes for an awesome spot to train. Checking out Crossfit CBD is must!
Fantastic experience: This is a great space on the rooftop of a building. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating to drop ins.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, excellent set up and even better coaches.
Fantastic experience: This is an great Crossfit box! Very supportive team atmosphere and amazing coaches. I started as a beginner and have been successfully working towards my goals. Everyone is given the support they need, from the Crossfit pros to the newcomers. The program is carefully planned and scalable to any fitness level. If you’re looking for a new place this is the one
Fantastic experience: Guaranteed to break a sweat.
