Cultivar Health - CrossFit CHWE

Fantastic experience: Joined in today for Cultivar's open day. First cross fit session ever. I was the oldest person in the group and felt totally catered for and supported. The other first timers of the group also (much much younger than me) were also encouraged and smashed it. Joining up. The coach was so attentive to everyone and so so encouraging. My daughter also totally enjoyed this work out. Could not recommend Cultivar Health more if I tried. Thanks to the owners - keep up the great work

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. The community is awesome, the workouts are fun and the new changes to the gym are really nice. Also the music is never loud, so I’m not sure about those other reviews? It’s definitely not CULTIVAR

Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit gym in Brisbane

Fantastic experience: Since there are nearly as many gyms as there are people in West End, it can be really difficult to figure out which one to choose. Cultivar Health is exceptional because - It's a fun, friendly, affirming environment to train in and I felt welcome from Day 1 - Alex, Ellie, and Amber's professionalism and attention to detail in coaching and everything else. They are passionate, knowledgeable and seem to genuinely love what they do - It doesn't matter where you start out fitness-wise, they take the time to assess each individual for their specific goals, capabilities, injuries, etc. and help you to customize each workout around where you're at - The programming is really well-rounded. - The nutrition coaching they provide goes above and beyond to find a hassle-free, super easy to follow approach that works for your specific lifestyle and feels do-able long-term - There are dogs.

Fantastic experience: I've known Alex and Ellie for several years and think they are great coaches. Very friendly gym.

Fantastic experience: Why should I join Cultivar? 1. Results: Yes, it takes a while. Unfortunately it takes more than 100 sit-ups a day to build a 6 pack. There is a lot of nutrition, training and genetics involved. But if your goal is to run 5k, of lift 100kg, I'm sure that by joining Cultivar you will have amazing results. Listen to their great coaching/programming and for sure you will get your results. 2. Improving yourself: Most of us think that this means that you are losing 10kg in 15 days. But in Cultivar it is so much more. It means you are getting healthier and stronger. Every day is a new day to be a better athlete and to make tons of progress. 3 Accountability: Peer pressure but in a good way. If you want to bond and build friendships, this is the place to go. You will find fitness motivated friends that will create a healthy competition environment. They will make you want to go to the gym to see them (and work out) all the time. As Crossfit is a sport built around a great community worldwide, I dare to say that after travelling around the world and visiting many boxes, I have never felt unwelcomed. But the level of coaching and care that Ellie and Alex show to everyone around them is special.

Fantastic experience: This place is more than a gym. If you have always been curious about Cross Fit this is the place to be regardless of where you are in your fitness journey. The coaching team genuinely care about you and all areas of your health (just see their five pillars) and the culture they have created is something special. The time and effort that goes into programming and ensuring there is something for everyone regardless of whether you're recovering from an injury, just wanting to move, up for a new challenge or an elite athlete. I've almost completed the 12week nutrition programme that they offer which has helped me implement new habits with the smallest of changes and it's the fittest I've ever been (achieving a few PB's) and all achieved without counting one calorie. Come join the community that inspire you and push you to keep showing up day in and day out.

Fantastic experience: Cultivar totally rocks! A friend suggested I attend a trial session. In my mid 40’s, and never having tried CrossFit, I was nervous BUT from the get go I recognised Cultivar is so much more than a place to train. Why Cultivar is different: 1. The coaches are experienced and professional 2. The classes are capped so you receive personalised coaching 3. You are treated as a person rather than a ‘number’ to meet a quota 4. Classes are at a variety of times to meet different lifestyles 5. Other services are on offer to meet your needs and goals 6. Cultivar is a genuine community where you are always made to feel welcome. No matter what your age,fitness level, goals and needs, give Cultivar a go - you won’t look back!

Fantastic experience: One of my biggest experiences in Brisbane and CrossFit Gyms in general. You have a group of strong female coaches that made of every single Wod a new challenge with big motivation. You can feel the inclusive atmosphere from day 1. I had a personalised follow-up. Every person that attends to the classes becomes part of a warming and friendly group. I felt comfortable from the beginning.

Fantastic experience: Awesome coaches and community! Really make you feel welcome and comfortable with trying new things. I love this place and training here is amazing!

Fantastic experience: Community is often thrown around with Crosfit, but Cultivar is family. Not only the feel of the place but exceptional coaches who are professional, caring but above all genuine in their approach to people. They cater to the complete health of the person as well, not just about the WOD or the PR, but if that’s what you want you won’t be disappointed either. Having travelled the world this is the best box I’ve ever been associated with. Enjoy!

Fantastic experience: Cultivar Health is the epitome of a perfect balance of health and wellbeing. Ellie and Alex, our head coaches take the time to make sure you are getting closer to your goals. They take the time to listen, to offer suggestions and truly understand what needs to happen to get to next step. It isn't about having the best athletes, unless you want to be, for them it is about creating the best version of who you are. I have had pleasure of knowing these amazing humans before Cultivar was opened, and watching them grow in to strong, happy people is a true testament to the dedication they put in to Cultivar Health. Nothing is done half a*sed - the programming, the physical space, the community they foster. Its all done with purpose. Even if I have to be there at 5am, in my zombie like state - I still could not rate this place anything less than a 5! Thanks for creating Cultivar

Fantastic experience: Gyms can be daunting - seeing all these fit people throwing weights around and feeling like a blob in comparison. But at Cultivar, everyone has a word of encouragement for you and all the workouts can be scaled to your ability so that they're achievable goals, which I think is really important, nobody likes unattainable goals. For myself, it's difficult to be social. But at Cultivar, I've never felt left out despite keeping to myself most of the time, so fellow introverts have nothing to worry about. For the social butterflies, Cultivar has social events like celebrating the anniversary of Cultivar, Halloween dress-up workouts and "non-crossfit" stuff like stress management seminars at no extra cost! Alex, Ellie, Mary, and Amber are the coaches there and they have built a wonderful community and truly care for their members. Sometimes I'll go on a bit of a hiatus from the gym and they'll ask me where I've been/what I've been doing, but never in an accusatory way, more from a place of concern and curiosity. And I find that really helps me get back to the gym because honestly, I'm not an active person at all, I much prefer video games and sometimes I fall off the path. Not having that judgment truly helps. Lastly, having been a part of multiple gyms, I understand that "new kid" feeling and Cultivar is a gym that clicks so well with so many different people and the members aren't clique-y at all, everyone is welcome to be part of the group. I used to dread partner workouts because I didn't want to be picked last or be paired with someone who was waaaay ahead of me in ability and end up dragging them down. But as I said, the coaches really do care and know the abilities of each member and will pair them up accordingly. No need to waddle up to someone and ask if they'd like to be your partner, you already have one assigned to you! TL;DR Cultivar is an amazing gym and is one that I would recommend, and have recommended to my friends and family because it's made up of a diverse, caring, and welcoming community.

Fantastic experience: For a long time going to the gym was a chore and something I knew I should do but struggled find the motivation to do. This has completely shifted now that I am a member of Cultivar! I genuinely love going to the gym, seeing the friendly faces of coaches and other members, and feel so happy after every session. Getting fitter and stronger is an added bonus. The vibe at the gym is top notch (e.g. there are dogs to pat) and the quality of the coaching and training is excellent. The coaches are very approachable and give great feedback and push you to improve. They have cultivated an excellent community (for example, we had an internal 'olympics' competition which was so much fun). 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Cultivar Health. The workouts are challenging, fun and other members are always encouraging and great to be around. I learn something new every time I go. The coaches are easy to talk to, listen to you if you have injuries or questions about a workout and will modify movements so you are working out safely. Cultivar Health is clean and well maintained making it a great environment to be in. Ellie and Alex are professional and very proud of the community they have created.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing CrossFit for four years now, have trained at other CrossFit gyms in Brisbane, and Cultivar is hands down the best one. 10/10 would recommend. Whether you’re like me and have been doing CrossFit for years, or you’re looking to try it for the first time, you won’t regret choosing Cultivar. Here’s why: 1. The coaches genuinely care about you. You will get a friendly hello every time you walk in the door. There’s no room for generic coaching cues at Cultivar – the coaches take the time to understand how you move and how you could move better. If you miss a class, they will check in to make sure you’re okay. If you’re injured, they will tailor a workout specific to your limitations to make sure you are still getting the most out of your training. 2. The community in the gym is the best. If you’re looking to start CrossFit, but feeling scared or intimidated, come try Cultivar. There is literally no ego in this gym. The best athletes in the gym are the most humble. Every single member is friendly and encouraging and genuinely just there for a good (hard) time. I was lucky enough to make the move to Cultivar with some of my best friends, but even luckier to have made some amazing new friends. 3. The programming is the perfect mix of skill/strength/fitness. If you’re currently doing CrossFit, but don’t feel like you’re getting the results you want, come try Cultivar. The programming is focused around developing you into a well-rounded athlete, rather than smashing you and sending you home with injuries. Genuine thought goes into the weekly programming – we focus on one or two movements for a six-week cycle to track and measure our individual improvements. Whether that means getting your first pull up or your first muscle up – it’s all about progression. And just when you think you’re getting better, Alex will program a workout that makes you question your entire life’s purpose. Literally the hardest workouts EVER. 4. 10/10 facilities and services. In addition to the weekly programming, you have access to mindset and nutrition coaching, Olympic lifting coaching, yoga, gymnastics skill programs, personal training, open gym, dogs welcome, sometimes we do BBQs… Honestly, what more could you want from a gym? Cultivar is a community that develops well-rounded athletes and even better human beings. Ellie and Alex are two of the most passionate, humble and caring people I’ve ever met, and their gym is a direct reflection of that. Cultivar is genuinely the best part of my day, so come join us and hopefully it can be the best part of yours too!

Fantastic experience: Wanting to improve your fitness? The choice is easy - Cultivar Health. Choosing Crossfit for the first time can be intimidating but the coaches Alex, Ellie, Mary and Amber have created a welcoming atmosphere, catering for all fitness levels from beginners to advanced athletes. Coaching - the coaches are experienced, encouraging, humble and extremely fit and strong! All the coaches provide the guidance and motivation for you to achieve your goals including nutrition coaching. The coaches have created a fantastic culture and I can assure you they will remember your name before you remember theirs. Community - all the members are very welcoming and often catch up outside training for coffee, breakfast and even a Sunday recovery run. During the workouts you always feel part of a community especially when your the last to finish a workout and you hear all the other members cheering you on. Programming - the programming, including stretching, warm up and warm down are varied and related to the workout. The coaches often run 6 week cycles focusing on a few exercises whereby you're tested in the first and last week to demonstrate your improvements. The programming caters for all fitness levels and includes a number of scaled down options. The classes are capped to ensure the coaches can provide the necessary attention during the workouts. The Olympic Lifting Classes are very popular allowing members to improve those movements. I can't recommend Cultivar highly enough. An added bonus is they have no joining fees or lock in contacts so in the unlikely event you don't like it you can leave anytime.

Fantastic experience: --- WELCOMING --- CHALLENGING (if you want it to be) --- GOOD CHAT --- CARING --- DOGS --- GOAL FOCUSED --- JUST JOIN ALREADY --- You know you've found a one of a kind gym when one of the coaches says you have a trash core but they say it with love and the intention to help you remove your core from said trash with months of agony (progression) and torture (structured programming that can be scaled depending on your skill/fitness level). All of the coaches are technique focused and do their best to coach you through developing different movements properly. I have nothing but great things to say about Cultivar, great coaches, great people to train with, no meat-heads/egos (in fact the people that are the most impressive are the most humble and keep to themselves but will help you if you ask for it). Is your goal weight loss (nutrition programs available), strength gain (PT available), mobility (Yoga classes), Olympic lifting technique, general fitness or injury prevention or building a base back from an injury post-rehab? Then try Cultivar... It is a CrossFit gym, so if you don't like CrossFit you won't enjoy it. If you do like CrossFit or you don't know (like I didn't) and want to try it - join. There's no crazy lock in periods - their growing client base stays because they want to stay, not because they have to. I haven't been there long but I'm stoked with my find! The programming is structured properly (thought actually goes in), and you can scale it depending on your injuries, fitness level, age, etc. there's really no one they can't cater for. Try it for a month, what have you got to lose? N.B. you'll try it and stay...

Fantastic experience: Friendly, welcoming with awesome team of coaches providing plenty of guidance and encouragement for all levels of experience. Thanks for coming to West End Cultivar Health

Fantastic experience: Great coaching, great people, awesome programming. Lots of little things that make it easier to train - ability to have open gym access pass (5am-10pm every day), full weeks programming is released on Sunday before. Showers. Love it!

Fantastic experience: I joined Cultivar Health a couple of months ago and have been so impressed by the gym and community. Alex, Ellie and the rest of the coaching team are incredibly welcoming and have made me feel so comfortable in the new environment. The programming and coaching are of the highest quality, with focus on safe technique and accessible scaling for all fitness levels. The gym equipment is excellent, and the classes strike the right level of variety and challenge to get results and keep me coming back. I can’t recommend the gym and community enough and I look forward to the growth I can achieve going forward at CrossFit CHWE.

Fantastic experience: CHWE is an awesome community, full of good vibes & happy friendly people. Well-structured programming with workouts that are scalable for all fitness levels, you get great support and guidance from very knowledgeable, professional coaches. This place is the best hour of my day. If that’s what you’re into, then this is where you’ll find it !

Fantastic experience: Awesome coaches, great community. Best place I've ever trained!

Fantastic experience: Best training experience, since starting at Cultivar I feel really part of such an amazing community and even better, have improved massively health wise. Great coaching, programming is excellent and everyone is made to feel so welcome.

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility, prime location, and awesome community/coaches! Genuine people who care about the health, wellbeing, and humanity of everyone who walks through the door.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic coaching; the team at Cultivar has a thorough understanding of each member’s strengths and weaknesses (and injuries) and can scale workouts and movements accordingly. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t ask for a better gym! Facilities, coaching and programming are first class. Alex, Ellie and the rest of the coaching staff go above and beyond to create a quality, safe, fun and friendly environment. The coaches genuinely care about their members and always ensure everyone in class gets the guidance they need. When I started training at Cultivar I had a knee injury from soccer and everyone was really supportive and helpful. My technique has improved, I’m feeling stronger and my knee is feeling much better. No matter what your fitness or skill level is, you feel supported and welcomed by both the incredible community and coaches.

Fantastic experience: I like training that place. Wonderful coach. Good community.

Fantastic experience: I have known Alex and Ellie as coaches for a while. A no-nonsense and caring approach. The ability to not only work around, but work with any injury or niggle that I have had. A whole lot of firsts.... first bar mu, first ring mu, handstand walk and an array of PBs. I get to train, laugh, get stronger and improve my skills every time I train with these two!

Fantastic experience: Friendly, welcoming and professional. The coaches are experienced across all levels of crossfitters and the community is wonderful. The box is clean and well equipped and there’s so much more available than a normal box in regards to overall health and well-being

Fantastic experience: Never imagined that going to the gym would be something I look forward to every day but Alex and Ellie (and Tex) make it a true joy. The coaches at Cultivar are all legends, with loads of experience (Alex is CF L3), plenty of passion, and a bit of good banter. This has been highlighted even more so through COVID times, with Alex and Ellie doing everything possible to keep the Cultivar crew together (by distance) and going great lengths to ensure everyone’s continued health and happiness (and fitness, of course, but what’s the difference?). I put off trying CrossFit for years, thinking I already needed to be fit before I dare give it a go but was so wrong - the movements are all easily varied to suit any ability and the classes remain a sweaty hoot for all involved. The gym's facilities, equipment, programming, and members are also fab.

Fantastic experience: Incredible gym, fantastic coaches who really care about the clients and the culture of the gym. I absolutely love training here. Thanks for creating such a great gym and community.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, awesome place to train. Coaches provide consistent guidance during classes. Programming is well structured and tailored to suit any fitness level. My strength and confidence when lifting has improved dramatically already. Loving it :)

Fantastic experience: Alex and Ellie are fantastic coaches and really know how to work with you to realise your health and fitness goals.
