CrossFit^® AERE

Fantastic experience: Since joining Aere, through the programming and coaching I’ve become stronger and fitter. I’ve been to other CrossFit boxes in other states but my strength, fitness and technique has taken a huge step forward. The main difference with other boxes, which I’ve noticed, is the attentive coaching Darren provides. Where other coaches have been “keep going, good job” or provide generic instruction, Darren coaches on technique and continuously supports you to identify the areas you need to work on. The community is warm and welcoming, and helps to keep everyone honest. The culture has encouraged me to really commit to training and has been a positive challenge.

Fantastic experience: A strength focussed CrossFit gym which regularly tests and provides metrics to improve performance. I’ve trained (primarily by myself) for over 6 years and found progress to be the biggest motivator. The program, coaching and community supports growth.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit has changed my lifestyle a lot, I've lost 13 kg so far. I learned from CrossFit to prioritize my life and my habits, I learned not to judge people but to admire each person's limits and their efforts to reach their limits. Crossfit AERE welcomed me to Adelaide and now I can say not only that I do CrossFit, but that I go every day to challenge myself and meet the people who support me on this journey.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to CrossFit AERE for over 6months now (Previously from a Functional Fit gym for 3 years) and from the workout structures, technique knowledge of Couch Darren and the vibrant community feel, I have managed to obtain new strength and +10kg PBs for all my lifts already. I have also enjoyed the opportunity to compete in my first competition and the Opens. If you want to get stronger and make friends at the same time, this is place to do it!

Fantastic experience: After coming from your generic, commercial gyms- this CrossFit Box is incredible! The programming and focus on strength training is second to none! I’ve done powerlifting and external programs in the past- but nothing compares to What’s on offer here and that you’ll be encouraged beyond what you thought your body was capable of doing. Coach Darren is wonderful and holds his members accountable (I really need this) and this goes beyond what any PT or business would otherwise offer! 10 out of 10, would recommend

Negative experience: Unfortunately it didn't satisfy my expectation, the website isn't coherent with the actual services provided. 1) I asked for a personal training session and I received as answer "I don't have time" which is unprofessional in my opinion as it is on the website. 2) On the website it says Saturday 7am but when I asked they said we don't do it. 3) On the website it says two coaches but only one coach available. With no doubt you can  find a better place with better qualifications, better timetable and better services.

Fantastic experience: I've never been a person who really liked exercising. I tried standard gym and some CrossFit places but I had never found something that really made me feel good. For the first time I really enjoyed training somewhere, I've been going to CrossFit AERE for 6 weeks and I can already say that I'm enjoying training! The coach is super attentive and hardworking with the athletes, he really FOCUSES on seeing you progress and learn all the technique with care and quality, something that is not so easy to find anywhere. I highly recommend it, it's worth doing the trial and feeling the cool energy of the people helping each other.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing CrossFit for about five years in Adelaide and recently changed to CrossFit Aere. The coaching has been phenomenal and the community super supportive. My training was stuck in a plateau but since switching to training at Aere I have seen an increase in both my cardio fitness and strength. The programming is great and Darren’s coaching and dedication to his athletes is second to none. Highly recommend training at Aere if you want to push your fitness to higher levels.

Fantastic experience: I've been training Crossfit for over 6 years and I've been trying to find a gym with a coach who motivates you and helps you develop. Coach Darren is one of the best coaches I've ever had and in fact the Crossfit Aere environment is one of the best places you will find to train in SA.

Negative experience: Poor communication. I sent an enquiry two weeks ago and I still haven't received any answer.

Fantastic experience: Coach and athlete community have vast knowledge in crossfit, definitely fun to learn from them

Fantastic experience: Started training with CrossFit Aere recently, excellent equipment, amazing team of coaches and an awesome crew of athletes!!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic community, opportunity to grow strength and mobility with a very experienced trainer! Make you feel welcomed the second you walk in

Fantastic experience: Very friendly space with knowledgeable trainers. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained with my brother many times. No shortage of knowledge. Always been very passionate about fitness and helping people understand their true potential. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches, lead by Darren. This is a gym with a community feel. The programming centres around increasing your strength but is complemented by “metcons”, which are more cardio based pieces. This beats any cardio based gyms ie F45 etc by a long way

Fantastic experience: After relocating to Adelaide from the North Coast of NSW finding Crossfit Aere felt like home. The sense of community was felt straight away. It was welcoming, friendly and the camaraderie very present. Something that really stood out was the mutual respect between coach Darren and all the athletes. Darren is extremely knowledgeable he cares, challenges and supports the growth of each individual. Age is not a factor here, it is all about energy and there is lots of that there, positive, supportive vibes and a nudge of two that you begin to welcome to become the best version of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. It really covers all bases. Make the decision, take a deep breath and walk through the door, you won't be sorry, it will be one of the best things you have ever done. You will be held, supported, challenged and celebrated. Crossfit Aere meets you where you are and takes you to the next step. A wonderful place to train with an amazing group of athletes of all ages, skill levels, fitness and strength.

Fantastic experience: Are you looking for a great gym, with a great community atmosphere? A fantastic facility with all the equipment necessary to achieve all your health and fitness goals? An amazing coach, who will push you to strive for more and bring out a side of yourself you did not know exsisted? Well then, CrossFit Aere is the place for you. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Start CrossFit was a great coice for my body, but started at CrossFit AERE was great for both, body and mind. I'm committed and motivated as I never being before. Everyone is extremely friendly and the coach pushes you to always be better!

Fantastic experience: I am an experienced CrossFit individual with a level 1 trainer credentials when I’m travelling to Adelaide Darren’s Gym is my first choice. the attendees are all welcoming and the equipment is top notch ️‍♀️ which is great they make you feel welcome and Darren has a wealth of knowledge and a Beast! as a trainer so is his crew. do yourself a favour get with these Pep’s #WODLYFE…

Fantastic experience: (I had a lot to say so it had to be split into 2 parts) Part 2: ... I am now just over 3 months in. As it turns out this specific approach to strength and conditioning training is exactly what I needed. I’m starting to be able to Rx some of the workouts. My pain has become very manageable and minimally restrictive on my life. I’m sleeping better than I can ever remember sleeping. Through the input of other members I’m even eating better. As a bonus, I’d apparently started noticeably looking larger and more muscular before I even hit the 2 month mark. I’ve dropped to 89kg, yet gone up a shirt size. And importantly, I’ve found myself in a better place mentally, having gained a healthy physical outlet, more effective than any form of fight training I have tried in the past. I’ll be honest. When I was in the Army and CrossFit was starting to become popular, I thought it was a fad and I had absolutely no interest in it. Now I wish I had started it years ago. Having said that, it’s the approach of this particular gym that has kept me going consistently and looking forward to the next session.

Fantastic experience: After only three weeks of training at Crossfit AERE I am already seeing tremendous results, even after having completed 11 years of resistance training prior to joining. The only thing better than how welcoming and supportive all the members of Crossfit AERE are, is the knowledge, dedication and passion of its Head Coach, Darren. I cannot recommend Crossfit AERE enough ❤️

Fantastic experience: Best box in Adelaide! I joined CrossFit Aere more than a year ago and have been absolutely blown away by the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and made to feel right at home. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, always pushing me to do my best while also ensuring that I'm staying safe and using proper form. The box itself is top-notch, with all the equipment I could ever need to get in a great workout. I love the variety offered, from gymnastics to Olympic lifting and everything in between. Every WoD is challenging but also a lot of fun, and I always leave feeling like I've accomplished something. One thing that really sets CrossFitAere apart is the community. Everyone is so friendly and supportive, cheering each other on during workouts and celebrating each other's successes. I've made some great friends here and always look forward to coming back. Overall, I can't recommend CrossFitAere enough. Whether you're an experienced athlete or just starting out, there's something here for everyone. If you're looking for a supportive and motivating box with top-notch equipment and the best coaches , look no further than CrossFitAere.

Fantastic experience: AERE is exactly the place you want to train out of. The community is so welcoming and so strong. The head coach and owner Darren legitimately cares about each of his athletes, he is solely focused on developing his athletes and will not rest until each person progresses. This is the place you want to train out of and just a place you want to belong to.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train - Darren is an extremely knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated head coach who also practices what he preaches being a great athlete himself. Terrific place to learn or push yourself and improve - the community also within the gym is very welcoming and caters to everyone - couldn't recommend highly enough!!

Fantastic experience: Joining CrossFit AERE has been one of the best decisions I have made. I started 6 months ago as a complete newbie. I had never lifted weights before and was very out of shape. I've really enjoyed the challenges and seeing what I'm capable of doing. Darren has been so patient with teaching me everything and so knowledgeable in what he teaches. Darren has created a strong and supportive family. I felt welcome as soon as I stepped into the gym. I love that it's so easy for parents to bring there kids if they need. I would 100% recommend if your thinking about joining :)

Fantastic experience: When I first started CrossFit, I had no clue what I was putting myself through. I knew I needed a change and haven't looked back since then. Coach Darren and coach Lorraine are both very knowledgeable and keep us accountable regarding whatever fitness goals we have in our mind. I discovered my passion for weightlifting through Darren, and I can't thank him enough for it. The community is very welcoming and honestly, you will create some great friends for life. So go ahead and try CrossFit AERE; all you have to do is commit to training consistently, and he will take care of the rest. See you at the gym!

Fantastic experience: I SHOULD HAVE JOINED SOONER! I thought I was fit playing soccer for years… until I joined AERE and discovered that I had only been scratching the surface of my capabilities for years. With Darren at the helm, Lorraine as another great lead coach and a tremendous community of veteran athletes and some emerging coaches, CrossFit AERE is the place to go to level up in all facets of your fitness journey. I have seen benefits from the coaching, programming and the influence of the amazingly supportive community that’s been grown at AERE. My strength, fitness, range of motion, joint health, skills and mental health have all improved drastically across my 6 months since starting up. Best decision I made was simply rocking up to give it a go… never looked back. ❤️

Fantastic experience: I recently joined this CrossFit gym approximately 3 months ago. I wish I’d joined sooner. My first session I was pleasantly surprised by how welcoming and warm the members are. The coaches are knowledgeable, approachable but also have your own fitness journey at their forefront. They will help you achieve whatever you’re seeking to achieve on your fitness journey and also keep you accountable. Join up, you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I have recently come to train at CrossFit Aere. I have tried many other gyms and classes and eventually I would get bored and give up. That doesn’t happen at CrossFit Aere. Coach Darren and coach Lorraine inspire and push me. Having recently become a mother I felt out of control of my body and weak. Over the last few months I have regained my strength and then some. Children (and fur babies) are welcome in the gym and Darren is especially sweet to them. The other members are also extremely helpful and patient with the little ones. As Darren says: you’re not just joining a gym, you’re joining a community.

Fantastic experience: I've been attending Crossfit AERE for several months now, and I can honestly say, I think it's one of the best, if not THE best, Crossfit gym in Australia. Crossfit is a high-intensity fitness program that combines elements of weightlifting, gymnastics, and metabolic conditioning. It's designed to improve overall physical fitness and prepare athletes for any physical challenge. Crossfit is important because it promotes functional fitness, which means it helps people become better at everyday activities, and who doesn't want to be the best version of their self?! The coach, Darren, is tough but fair, and he knows how to challenge you in the best possible way. He'll push you to your limits, but he'll also help you get stronger emotionally and physically. The athletes who attend Crossfit AERE are some of the most committed, friendly, and supportive people you'll ever meet. Whether you're a seasoned Crossfitter or a beginner, you'll feel welcome here. Everyone encourages each other to do their best and reach their goals. The gym at Crossfit AERE is impressive, with legitimate and professional equipment that's always well-maintained and clean. So whether you're looking to improve your strength, agility, or endurance, you'll find everything you need here to take your training to the next level. Overall, I highly recommend Crossfit AERE to anyone who's looking for a challenging, supportive and super-fun Crossfit community. If you're willing to put in the work, Darren and the rest of the Crossfit AERE team (Yew! Coach Lorraine!) will help you achieve your goals and become the best version of yourself.

Fantastic experience: Great community and good training schedule.

Fantastic experience: I have been on and off Crossfit for the last 6 years. Been to different boxes across different cities and countries. And so far, Crossfit AERE has provided me an amazing experience when it comes to crossfit. Amazing environment, great people, well elaborate program to make you progress physically. However, be aware: if you don't want to become a better version of yourself, more fit, happier, healthier, and meet amazing people, then why are you even checking the comments? ‍♂️

Fantastic experience: After having tried many gyms during the past years without reaching any goals, lack of discipline and motivation, I landed in crossfit Aere without any kind of knowledge, or technique. It has only been 5 months and I am proud of what I have achieved so far, although I still have a lot to learn and improve, but I am sure that I will achieve my goals because I have the help of great coaches who have always been helping to create the best version of me. At crossfit Aere I have not only found myself improving physically, I have improved on my mental health and discipline. Every day after work I go to AERE and I meet the best group, all willing to give their best, laugh and push HARD!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit AERE was definitely the best choice that I have made when it comes to my health. From day one, I feel more motivated, committed and amazed by what my body is capable of. Every four months, we go through different strength phases with different focuses and head coach Darren takes the time to explain the importance of every single movement and the right technique. Darren invests in every single one of his members, no matter our different abilities, and genuinely cares about our progress and commitment, always holding us accountable to our goals. Also love all the support from the AERE community to be the best version of myself, whether from a physical or mental perspective.

Fantastic experience: Darren and his team have built something truly special here. This is more than just a gym, it is a family, and a community where everyone pushes each other to be better. The mindset here can be tough, but it is easier to be motivated when everyone else is on your side. You don't feel alone in your journey to fitness and training, you have the support of everyone around you. No matter your skill level, the coaches are accommodating and put in their 100% effort to helping you. They are highly qualified in both CrossFit and Weightlifting, and also programming and building mental character. I highly recommend this gym to people of all levels - just remember, everyone has a starting point. That starting point is better when there is an open and supportive community. And if you are not just starting out - then I challenge you to take Darren on.

Fantastic experience: Joining Crossfit AERE was one of the best decisions I have made in a very long time. I did not know what to expect, originally I was definitely nervous due to my lack of strength and fitness. However, upon joining, I was able to realize just how much strength I actually had but was hidden under terrible form. Darren is an incredible coach who will push you to your limits and beyond, as well as provide constructive feedback due to his extensive knowledge of the field. He is extremely dedicated to each athlete and will bring out the best out of you. Also have to give a big shout out to the rest of the athletes that further contribute to the experience at AERE. Everyone is so welcoming and supporting, definitely couldn't recommend this place more

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Aere is an encouraging community of coaches and members. Coaches who genuinely care about your progress and support you every step of the way to become a better, stronger version of yourself. The programming is fantastic. The equipment available is top notch. Every other member at the gym is so welcoming and always there for verbal encouragement and high fives after a tough metcon or a good lift. I can not speak highly enough of Darren and Crossfit Aere. Whether you are experienced or not. You will not regret joining!

Fantastic experience: This is the place to get stronger not only physically but also mentally while you become a better version of yourself. I started a year ago and since then, Darren has shown an impressive set of coaching skills based on solid knowledge, experience and athletes' needs. The community is an added value hard to find somewhere else, every member contributes in different ways to each other's journey making the process more valuable and meaningful.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at CrossFit AERE for a few months now and have never been stronger! I’ve had years of issues with my back and hips and starting CrossFit and getting strong in all the right places has caused that pain to disappear. It’s such a supportive, encouraging and fun environment, and it feels like a family! Coach Darren is so knowledgeable and knows how to push us all the way we need it in order to improve. Highly recommend this gym if you’ve ever been interested in trying CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: I Googled Crossfit gyms in my area and this one stood out for its philosophy and quality website. I haven't been disappointed. Can't speak highly enough of the great experience I've had and the quality of the people and community CrossFit Aere has achieved. I'm really happy I gave them a call.

Fantastic experience: As soon as you walk through the doors at CrossFit AERE you will be greeted and welcomed by everyone. I originally came in for just the week and had no intention of signing up to CrossFit AERE, but after my first session I knew it was where I wanted to be. What attracted me to continue was Darren’s passion to coaching, his knowledge and expertise in the fitness industry. He has built not just a strong community but a fit fam that will support you no matter what level you are at. Darren is an outstanding coach, but also a friend. He will push you to be the best you and will teach you that fitness is not just about aesthetics and weight loss, but how strong you can become physically and mentally. The programming is well thought out, there is always an objective to the structure of it and is tailored to every skill and fitness level. Drop the stigma that you need to be fit to join, that could not be more wrong!! I could not recommend CrossFit AERE enough. It will become something you get to do, not have to do. It is challenging, fun and addictive!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place!!! I first started in January 2021 to build my mobility and strength as I hadn’t done any physical excerise in 10 years and I wanted to get fit and get me ready for State League Soccer, Every workout is scalable to all skill levels. Not only do I get the amazing Coching from Darren, but the support and encouragement from everyone at the “Box”. It’s more than a gym, it’s a community and family. Both my daughters can’t wait for a School Holiday program or Kids CrossFit Program to begin! It’s a safe and welcoming community, and very family orientated. Looking forward to continuing this amazing journey with my family through an healthy and active lifestyle. .

Fantastic experience: I am so glad that I found Crossfit Aere when I moved to Adelaide. Darren’s coaching supports correct form & technique and he goes above and beyond in the amount of time he dedicates to programming, providing feedback and guidance to us. What I also love about Crossfit Aere is that I can take my children with me. Having a young family can make it difficult to get to a gym to train however this is not the case at Crossfit Aere. Darren is more than happy for me to take the boys and to help look after them while I train. Thank you Darren for helping me be a positive role model to my boys when it comes to exercising. The boys love our "Crossfit" mornings.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit AERE has been the best decision of my life. The community is amazing, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming and encouraging. The coaching is incredible, Darren is a nationally accredited genius who takes every aspect of each members life into consideration, if it's strength building, self esteem development, social aspects and even encourages all aspects of members families to get involved from partners, parents, kids and dogs it's an incredible environment for everyone. It's turned me from a frankenstien into a frankenfine!

Fantastic experience: Darren is a phenomenal coach. The strongest & fittest I have ever been, has been training at crossfit aere. As a single mother it’s hard to find time to train and juggle life. One of the reasons I chose to train at CrossFit aere was the community and how warming and friendly everyone was. The fact I could have my son there & Darren would help look after him made it possible for me to be there as much as I was. Without Darren and his support to all the warriors, especially the parents, it wouldn’t be possible for us to live strong, fit & healthy lives and be a positive role model for our children. 5 stars always from me!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Aere is a great community and a great place to learn. My health and fitness has improved so much since I joined and that's all thanks to the dedication of our coach.

Fantastic experience: Darren is the best of the best. Ever since I stepped foot into his gym at Crossfit Aere I have been coached with sound knowledge and experience, surrounded with support and made some incredible friends along the way. I wouldn't be the confident and fit woman I am today without him. Darren not only coaches to help you with your health and fitness but everything in life that surrounds it. He cares about each and everyone who walks through his doors, the professionalism, drive and encouragement Darren has to push everyone to their highest potential is unbeatable and that is why he is the best of the best in the business. He has created an amazing atmosphere at Crossfit Aere, he has created a family of which I am so proud to be a part of!

Fantastic experience: I started at the gym after spending the previous couple years filling out the typical dad bod. 6 months later I'm stronger and healthier than I ever have been. The programming and coaching is absolutely spot on and supports anybody wanting to get stronger, fitter, and drop the unwanted KG's. The community is amazing, very open, with quality banter. The gym is full of people with all kinds of backgrounds, age, body type, and experience. The mixture of community and results will ensure you don't lack motivation. Dogs and kids have been welcomed and very responsibly cared for while you work on getting stronger, Darren is the best!! If you're not sure, or just weighing up options, reach out to Darren and give AERE a go.

Fantastic experience: I started joined CrossFit AERE after a mate at work suggested I come with him one morning and that was October 2018. I was nervous and honestly scared initially but as soon as I walked into the gym I felt super comfortable and at ease, I’ve always been short, small and gyms had always intimidated me. Darren and all the regular morning crew were so welcoming and helpful, they very quickly became like family. CrossFit AERE has definitely changed my life, not only physically but mentally. I never knew I could push myself the way I do now, every session Darren designs is different and exciting and the crew make it a fun and social environment too. It soon became apparent CrossFit wasn’t just short term, it was going to be apart of my daily routine. Darren is amazing, always helping and modifying workouts for you as I needed. There is such a stigma that you need to be fit to start, that could not be more wrong. I was not fit at all when I started, but with commitment and drive I am the fittest I have ever been. I now cannot imagine my life without CrossFit or the people I have met along the way. I am stronger than I ever knew I could be, mentally and physically, and loving every aspect of my life.

Fantastic experience: If you are seeking a gym that cares for your training with a kind welcoming community then Crossfit Aere will be right for you. Darren is an exceptionally caring coach that passionately invests time helping his clients meet their potential. After 4 years of training with Darren I have seen myself and others transform through his extensive knowledge of Crossfit and how he applies this disciplined and fun fitness regimen. I would highly recommend anyone looking to try something new and wanting a coach that will take their long term training goals seriously. Darren seeks to develop and adhere to the latest knowledge and techniques in the fitness industry and takes a personal approach to each of his members goals.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of CrossFit Aere for around 5 months now and can honestly say joining has been life changing for me. I originally joined to lose some weight before my wedding day, but at that time I was unaware of the rich community I was about to become a part of. Not to mention the positive impact this would have not only on my fitness, but also on my mind. Coach Darren has been accommodating and supportive since the first moment I arrived at the box. Darren has a wealth of knowledge and passion for all things fitness and strength, but also how to deal with people and their varied fitness levels on a daily basis. Which makes for fantastic community of good people. I am still amazed to this day that someone like myself, having zero sporting/fitness background and even less self confidence, could achieve what I am today. Darren and the CrossFit Aere family have helped me more than they could ever imagine. Thanks Team!!

Fantastic experience: Darren, creator and head coach at CrossFit AERE, makes sure that every member feels welcome and included, in a safe, fun and supportive way! Darren’s coaching style is like none I’ve seen before, he’s direct, committed, guided and only wants the best for his athletes (or as he likes to call them, his warriors). If you’re looking to be pushed to be the best version of yourself, joining CrossFit AERE will get you there, not only by coach Darren but by every single warrior - you’ll become part of the AERE family the second you walk through the door!

Fantastic experience: Tailored classes programmed by an experienced trainer; Coach Darren, who pushes athletes of all levels to become stronger, fitter and healthier!

Fantastic experience: I have trained at many other gyms over the years and Crossfit Aere is hands down the best ! The level of experience varies throughout the members but everyone is there to do the same thing and that's get better every day. Awesome atmosphere and coaching style. Highly Recommend

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Aere is an inclusive, professional and welcoming fitness community. The Coach has fostered a culture that embraces families (including small children and babies) and breeds healthy rivalry and competition. Fitness gains have come naturally and almost by accident as I have been enjoying the atmosphere and comeraderie that is ever apparent. I cannot recommend Crossfit Aere highly enough to do it justice.

Fantastic experience: As someone who never dreamed they could do Crossfit, for me, CrossFit AERE was a great introduction into the sport. The community of this gym is fantastic. No matter what session you attend everyone is there supporting you, and you never feel left out. Darren is a great coach, thanks to his training I am now that strongest and fittest I have ever been in my whole life. After struggling to commit to commercial gyms Darren , and my CrossFit AERE family has me finally enjoying exercise and I have been going there consistently for over a year now and plan on staying!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Darren when he worked at a gym for 5 yrs then when he opened up CrossFit Aere. I’ve never done any sports/ fitness before and I love it, because Darren is very passionate for you to learn technique and to better yourself as a person, his knowledge on this is so helpful to us all and to be surrounded by like minded people is a plus.

Fantastic experience: THE BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE CrossFit AERE - The Most Amazing Place, the Most Amazing Coach and the Amazing People that Workout here! CrossFit AERE is a place where magic happens, can go have fun and make new memories. It definitely has a strong community, who support each other and cheer each other, each and everyday.

You won't regret it! You will love it too! I highly recommend it to all to improve their personal best, get stronger, fitter, meeting new people and make your life better !!!!!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Aere is a great place to train. I feel lucky to have found this friendly, motivating community when I moved to Adelaide about 8 months ago. Darren’s coaching supports correct form & technique and he goes above and beyond in the amount of time he dedicates to programming, providing feedback and guidance to us. I would recommend CrossFit Aere, no matter where you are in your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Awesome CrossFit Box for the person that just wants to get fit again, through to the committed athletes that have specific goals or want to take their chosen sport to the next level. High level head coach with a wide variety of certifications and a breadth of experience and skills, developed over many years of commitment to the Industry.

Fantastic experience: Being new to Adelaide and a 3month sabbatical from training I searched “Gyms near me” with the intention of trialling a couple of different gyms but I was sold on Darren and Crossfit Aere after one session. Darren has a no BS, no frills approach but is friendly, positive and professional. His programming caters for everyone from complete beginners making lifestyle changes to seasoned athletes focussing on athletic performance. Every session has a combination of weightlifting, bodyweight and go hard or go home cardio components so there is always something for everyone to feel “comfortable” with and something to push you to your edge; it really is perfect programming. The Aere community is in a league of its own. There is a lot of light-hearted banter and smack talk around the box but what stands out the most is the genuine support, encouragement and inclusive dynamic amongst Warriors. CrossFit Aere really has it all

Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit box in Adelaide! Coach Darren is an outstanding trainer and motivator. Everyone is welcoming and encouraging. Fun group of athletes of all levels.

Fantastic experience: Not only has Darren taught me how to become a more complete athlete he has also taught me how to change a car tyre. I rate Darren 5/5 for putting the fear into the right people. Gym equipment & set up is second to none, there is a great community to get around you. Couldn't recommend more.

Fantastic experience: The thought of group exercise was intimidating at first but the community at Aere is as good as it gets. These Wod's will turn into the highlight of your day, the only thing you will regret is not joining sooner.

Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to come across CrossFit Aere when looking for a crossfit box to join several months ago and all I can say is I am so glad I joined this one!! It has an amazing community with all members being so encouraging and supportive, and the coaching is exceptional. It makes working out so enjoyable and I can't imagine training anywhere else :) If your thinking of trying crossfit for the first time or need a change I would highly recommend joining Aere! You won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Aere has an amazing community environment; everyone supports your wins as if they were their own, they pull you up when you're on your way down, they help you be a better version of you. Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success. This all would not be possible without the expertise, passion, and determination from the coach, Darren. No matter the fitness level or experience, Darren always strives to push you to your highest potential and doesn’t let you forget to aim higher. His programming supports correct form and technique, and he provides constant feedback and guidance to each individual member. Do yourself a favour, no matter your fitness level, get out your comfort zone, and come try CrossFit Aere!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Crossfit Aere over 3 months, this is the best decision I ever made! Coach Darren actually care for members and want each member to succeed whatever their fitness goals are. Darren design WOD's in such a way that it helps you to become better athlete and get stronger each week. This place is a community of great people who want to better each day & help each other out. I highly recommend if you want to be better athlete, get yourself down to this place, Crossfit Aere is a powerhouse .

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Aere is an amazing place to train. The programming is done with a lot of care to get everyone who comes the best version of themselves. The programming is tailored to every skill and fitness level. Since coming here I have gotten the strongest and healthiest of my life. The community is very welcoming and supportive to new members. Great people doing great things.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at CF AERE for about 3 years now and all I can say is that I wish it had opened earlier. My 3 years training in CF has taught me a lot about myself and reinforced the dedication that is required to improve as an athlete. The coach, Darren Lague, is incredibly knowledgeable and knows when to seek further advice on improving his clients (with Olympic lifting or gymnastics), helping them rehabilitate after injury (generally through physiotherapy) or seeking self improvement to assist with these things on a daily basis. There is no feeling of elitism at the box, you check your ego at the door and train. If you forget, Coach Darren assists you in this, ensuring that everyone feels welcome. His tough love attitude has helped me personally become mentally tougher and more confident in my abilities as an athlete and as a teacher (my current profession). I encourage anyone wanting to try Crossfit, come to our box and give it a go!

Fantastic experience: Since joining this gym I have realised that I am capable of more then I ever thought, the coach is very professional and is passionate about helping members become fitter and stronger and live healthy lifestyles . Everyone here is friendly , supportive and there is a real sense of community and a real team spirit among the members, I would recommend to anyone to come check it out .

Fantastic experience: After training for a year at CrossFit Aere, I couldn’t speak more highly of the community, coaching and atmosphere I experience every day. I started here with no weightlifting experience and from day one, every single member has supported me to be the best version of myself whether that be from a physical or mental perspective. I’m amazed day in and day out at what my body is capable of when I have a whole community of people rooting for me to succeed. Head coach Darren is a total wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things coaching whether that be technique, programming, mentality or preventing/adapting to injuries. He invests in every single one of his members no matter our different abilities or goals, and genuinely cares about our progress and commitment. Darren always celebrates our wins with us whether they be big or small and also takes nice pics of our bootys. I feel so grateful to be apart of this community because coming here is the best part of every day. I get to train with my best friends and get strong whilst I do it,!

Fantastic experience: Walk into CrossFit AERE and you’ll be greeted by the Strong Man and the wonderful coach “Darren Lague” He is the force behind every person seen in the box. Each and every person support and motivate each other. I was not very strong(no background in weight lifting and specially in my 36th year of age) and aerobically fit but I had a beginner mindset. It took me just couple of weeks before I could complete a workout as prescribed with my determination and willingness to do the workout. Overhead squats, snatches and cleans all seemed so out of reach. But after months of training, plus with strength and determination, now I can do all of those movements with ease. Today, I feel so confident and happy that so far I’ve accomplished so much already but still learning. I need to keep going and never stop, “JUST TRUST THE PROCESS” CrossFit Aere is the the place where your goals might be more achievable than you expect. You never know the potential hidden in you. Be there and Darren will craft your body with a strong you. If you are ready to change your life, put in the time and start CrossFit!!

Fantastic experience: Best Crossfit u will find in Adelaide, Coach Darren has instense knowledge of workouts, body functioning, Mobility and performing workouts in safer & secure manner. Challenge yourself with new WODs, track your performance history, u will c improvement in your workouts. Great place to be and socialise with other members of the Box.

Fantastic experience: I have been in the fitness industry for 13 years and to be honest have my reservations on Crossfit. However, Darren is not your average coach. He has a vast knowledge of Personal training as well as Sports & Conditioning to add to the experience for his athletes. This is a place where you can improve both in fitness and strength, be safe while doing it and most importantly have a lot of fun.

Fantastic experience: As soon as you walk through the doors at CrossFit AERE you will be greeted and welcomed by everyone. I originally came in for just the week and had no intention of signing up to CrossFit AERE, but after my first session I knew it was where I wanted to be. What attracted me to continue was Darren’s passion to coaching, his knowledge and expertise in the fitness industry. He has built not just a strong community but a fit fam that will support you no matter what level you are at. Darren is an outstanding coach, but also a friend. He will push you to be the best you and will teach you that fitness is not just about aesthetics and weight loss, but how strong you can become physically and mentally. The programming is well thought out, there is always an objective to the structure of it and is tailored to every skill and fitness level. Drop the stigma that you need to be fit to join, that could not be more wrong!! I could not recommend CrossFit AERE enough. It will become something you get to do, not have to do. It is challenging, fun and addictive!

Fantastic experience: Joining CF AERE has been the best decision I made this year. After training at the gym for a few months, it is evidently clear that Darren has the knowledge, skills, and the experience to help you achieve your goal whether it’s to lose weight, get stronger or just to stay fit. The most appealing aspect of training at AERE is mental encouragement you get prior to every session. While the way to achieve your goal is via physical activity, Darren helps you prepare for it mentally so you can achieve a lot more than you think. Additionally, the community at the gym is amazing. Working out in a group structure felt challenging at first however, everyone at the gym is extremely supportive, encouraging and is always ready help you through your workout. If you are considering becoming a part of CrossFit AERE, I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit AERE is a fantastic place to train! The coach is knowledgeable and passionate about your fitness and needs and is always so encouraging. Darren has also been kind enough to watch over my children while I train and if it wasn't for this I wouldn't be able to exercise. He has been nothing but supportive to our families needs and is a great role model to my kids. CrossFit AERE is a real family environment and what Darren has built within the gym and the culture you will find no where in Adelaide. You must try it out for yourself!

Fantastic experience: The programing is bang on. Starts from the bottom on progressively moves forward with repeat movements weekly. Focusing on building a great base for strength mobility and quality in movements. The head training gets really involved with all clients asking for videos when training from home checking with no shows and always happy to reply to any question, even the dumb ones. The community is brilliant ensuring a positive environment. And encouraging all who trains. Egos are left at the gate upon entry. But fun competitiveness is encouraged.

Fantastic experience: Joined in December 2020 recommended by many. High levels of motivation and so much encouragement from all members. such a very welcoming community and lots of support form the coach(owner). Everyday is a new challenge with instant results. Love it

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Aere is a fully equipped box with top of the line equipment. Darren the owner/coach is so passionate about getting every member to succeed in their fitness/health journey through Crossfit. His coaching style is firm but only because he wants to ensure you are doing the movements safely and correctly to get the best results. The community in this box is so friendly and welcoming with a wide spectrum of fitness levels this is truly a box that anyone will fit into. I cannot recommed Crossfit Aere enough.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Aere has become my second home over the past year. I’ve definitely sweated, laughed and hit more PR’s than thought possible. This community is one of a kind!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Aere is by far one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to. My husband is from Adelaide and this is the gym we go to every time we come back to visit. Darren has well thought out programming and gives great advice/technique corrections. I love this gym and the people that go to it, you’re guaranteed for a great workout and good company!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at CrossFit AERE for about 6 months now. I love seeing the results I get from working out but being a part of this family has changed my life and my mindset towards myself. I would recommend CrossFit AERE for anyone, no matter your fitness level!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending at CrossFit Aere since January 2019 and i love every minute of it! Coach Darren is a friendly Viking who has an abundance of knowledge and is motivated in helping the athletes achieve their goals and pushes them into achieving things they otherwise didn't think possible and to that effect it shows in each of their respective results and performance. In addition, the community at CrossFit Aere is supportive and friendly and the camaraderie will keep you going back for more!

Fantastic experience: Great place to train crossfit. Darren is a great coach. The members are really warm and friendly which makes you look forward to going every day. If I am back in Adelaide I will be back to train again.

Fantastic experience: After taking Months on deciding whether I should try CrossFit , The regret I have is that I shouldn't have waited so long. Its a motivating and supporting environment where everyone is encouraged to be the best versions of themselves. Darren's coaching and guidance supports proper technique and form foremost whilst still testing our physical limits to get fitter, stronger , and healthier in a safe and sustainable way. Darren's coaching is clear and assertive yet he knows every one of his athletes and shows care and empathy for each and every one of them . Programs are well thought out, easy to understand and varied and the same workout caters for the experienced cross-fitter and rookies alike. CrossFit builds strength, endurance and flexibility and after trying circuit style training for a few years where boredom and lack of proper coaching was significant, I'm glad I took the step into this new and fulfilling dimension where the results will undoubtedly follow if you have the correct mindset and attitude. But most importantly, we have fun, we laugh at ourselves we make new friends and we support each other no matter what our goals are . (Minh Nguyen )

Fantastic experience: After trying a few different CrossFit gyms, this took the cake by far. Coach Darren is awesome and he always makes sure you are doing things correctly and the family atmosphere is unbeatable! Everyone is at their own level but we are all supported by one and other.
