Fantastic experience: Hello everyone! I want to share my amazing experience at CrossFit Essendon. I came to Melbourne to study English and stumbled upon this place through an online search for crossfits in the area. And boy, was I in for a pleasant surprise! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with incredible warmth and hospitality. This place truly fosters a sense of community and brotherhood. I'm so delighted to have found it and to be able to share the fun and sweat of this beautiful sport with all of you. One of the standout aspects of CrossFit Essendon is the coaches. They are absolutely fantastic, and each one brings their unique teaching style. This is incredibly important because CrossFit coaches care just as much about strengthening your mind as they do about your body. Honestly, I believe this is a place where you can enjoy the process of learning, and personal progress is evident at first glance. I would highly recommend CrossFit Essendon to anyone looking for a welcoming environment, excellent coaches, and the opportunity to measure their progress tangibly. I can't wait to continue growing and challenging myself in this incredible place!

Fantastic experience: I love training here! The coaching team is incredible. They are always very patient for when you are developing skills and refining technique, as well as being a constant source of encouragement for you to continually challenge yourself. I have found that since joining, I have improved so much in terms of strength and fitness. The friendly community also makes the classes a lot of fun. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: CF Essendon has such a good community and vibe. Mark and all the coaches are very knowledgeable and attentive, always making sure we are having fun but doing things safely at the same time. All in all a great place to workout. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Love going to this place! Right from the start I have felt welcome, supported and motivated to improve. I began as an extreme beginner who didn’t have a clue what CrossFit was, and have since been coached by Mark and the team to consistently improve in the areas of strength, mobility and cardio. I never thought I’d start doing something like this in my forties but I’ve never felt fitter and healthier in my life. Workouts are also tailored to different levels of fitness, strength etc. so you don’t feel like you are pressured to go hard if you’re not up to it yet. I also did the Nutrition Plan they offered complimentary and lost 13kg. The community is also great, with regular social gatherings, competitions and fundraisers to keep you motivated. They also listen to your needs and tailor workouts to suit your individual requirements if necessary. If you’re interested in doing CrossFit but are unsure if it’s for you or not, give this place a go, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Fun, welcoming environment for all abilities!

Fantastic experience: Throughly enjoyed the sessions and Mark and the rest make you feels like you are joining a community and not just another members going through the motion.

Fantastic experience: I lost 10kg and put on at least 5kg of muscle here in the last year. It's a great community that keeps me coming back!

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaches! Nice crossfit group, friendly people.

Fantastic experience: I joined for a 12 day trial and still here 18 months later. Love absolutely everything about the box, never thought I would make so many friends, laugh so hard or enjoy CrossFit as much as I do!

Fantastic experience: First time at Crossfit, and here I am 5 months later getting stronger after each sessions. Super friendly and highly qualified coaches. It's a small place to train so you get enough time with the coach to get your techniques right, especially if you're a beginner.

Fantastic experience: Mark and the team are brilliant! Had so much fun here and learnt so much during a short time. Recommend Crossfit Essendon to everyone - especially beginners who don’t know where to start!

Fantastic experience: I have been to many CrossFit gyms in the last 5 years as I work all over Australia. I signed up for 3 weeks while Working in Melbourne and I have learnt so much in this time even after years of CrossFit. Coach’s and workouts 5 star

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience! Incredible trainers! Incredible team! I completed the 12-week challenge with Mark and the team and smashed my weight loss goals. Down over 10kg, and I am so happy to have gone through the journey. As a trainer, Mark is in constant contact and has innovative ideas to keep you on track. Loving my experience and am keen to keep kicking goals! Cheers team!!

Fantastic experience: I've been training at CrossFit Essendon for nearly a year now and have only positive things to say. The trainers are awesome. They take the time to go over technique when lifting weights to ensure you are doing it properly. The small class sizes are a perk, for the one to one time with the trainers. The other CrossFit members are so encourgaging and fun to train with. There is definitely not a dull class!

Fantastic experience: It's been a year and few months since i joined Crossfit Essendon and i've never been to a gym where i feel so belong and welcomed until i joined here<3 Mark, the owner/coach, had guided me ever since i started. It's not like other gyms where you have to pay more to get more coaching. And that's one thing that i super like about this place. Classes are run in small group hence the coaches are able to concentrate on each of the athletes to make sure that they get enough / more coaching as much as possible. It's like doing one to one with a coach without paying more everytime i finish a class. I had two introductory sessions with Mark and he trained me the basic crossfit movements. He along with other coaches have been very patient and very passionate about coaching me and the others. This gym also offers nutrition coaching, check in sessions to see where you are at and what you want to achieve in the next couple of weeks. The coaches in this gym are very knowledgable and highly skilled as well. There's also some fun events and competitions that this gym run. This gym also runs some workshops like gymnastics, olympic lifting on top of normal crossfit classes which i really like to be able to focus on some specific movement. The gym also has more than enough equipment for the gym size. I love it here!!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Essendon has been fantastic. Super friendly and inviting community + amazing coaching. Mark the owner is extremely knowledgeable and invests a lot of time and energy into everyone's individual fitness goals. Coaches Sam and Gulia are excellent and have really helped me improve my olympic lifting and gymnastics movements. I have been a member of many other CrossFit gyms, and can confidently say that CrossFit Essendon has the friendliest community--it has been a pleasure training there the past year.

Fantastic experience: We stumbled across Crossfit Essendon through a trial and it literally changed our lives - I never thought Crossfit would be accessible for someone like myself (who dislikes gyms and struggles with lifting weights) but Mark and all the coaches at CE (Mark, Andrea, Christine, Maks) are such genuine, encouraging and wonderful coaches - it has changed my ideas about 'gyms' and 'Crossfitters' into something that's really accessible and motivating. I love how diverse the community is, so many different shapes and sizes and fitness abilities, and everyone is so welcoming and encouraging to work towards their individual goals. Mark invests so much love, time and effort into not only the physical training but the nutritional and mindset of building strength and staying healthy and fit for the long term gain. I highly recommend anyone looking for lifestyle change and fitness community to come to Crossfit Essendon - I have joined so many different gyms and there's something about CE that speaks to Mark's dedication and expertise.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly gym! Awesome space to workout with a supportive group. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: I trained at CrossFit Essendon for my short, sharp and sweet few months in Melbourne and the team were nothing short of accommodating and amazing. All of the members are so lovely and down to earth, making it feel like a family. For the price of a membership, the inclusions are the best I have ever seen for a CrossFit gym (and I have been to atleast 5 different gyms over the years due to travelling for work). Mark makes sure his members are looked after properly and are given the best experience possible. I will definitely be back for a drop in and recommend anyone considering a CrossFit gym to check it out. Thanks again guys.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and a great community! Mark and the other coaches are really knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. I love how every class is different and challenging and there are options for every level of fitness! An incredibly fun and motivating way to exercise!

Fantastic experience: This is an incredible place to train! I have felt so well suppported by Mark and the rest of the team. There are individual sessions in the first 3 months that teach you the correct lifting techniques and address any limitations. It's very hands on to make sure you're doing everything safely and getting the most out of your training. There are a lot of additional programs to be a part of depending on what you want to achieve e.g. 12 week nutrition program for fat loss or muscle gain. The vibe is amazing and keeps you coming back. I've lost 11kg in the last 6 months and have never felt stronger! Regardless of your fitness level, you will be blown away by the progress both physically and mentally.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Essendon is an amazing community and such a welcoming gym. I have grown so much and improved my fitness out of sight in the last 8 months. I enjoy coming here every day to train. Additional services provided such as physio and nutrition have been amazing.

Fantastic experience: Upon exit from Hotel Quarantine in December 2020 I contacted a few gyms to express interest. Mark was the first to phone me back and I am so glad that he did.. A day later I was at the gym to watch the end of a session and meet with Mark who explained how they operated, additional services and his background as a physio. CrossFit Essendon genuinely caters to all types of people, races, ages and backgrounds (its a mixing pot but in a great way!). I hadn't been inside a gym for 8+ years and not once have I felt judged since my first session. In combination with attending 3 or 4 times a week, setting 90 day goals and joining onto a 12 week nutritional program I've not only learnt a heap, improved my strength and condition but also lost 10kg over the time putting me back into the "healthy" ranges. Personally I'd like to thank Mark, the team and the rest of the members for helping me get through a tough personal time. The encouragement and friendly faces make attendance all the more enjoyable beyond the "buzz" when you get home and relax :)

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Everyone works as a team. There is zero judgment and heaps of support. No matter how small your steps are, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the group cheering and pushing you forward. Mark and the team are very committed to helping you improve.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome gym. Mark and the team are extremely knowledgeable and there is so much variety in training - strength, cardio, mobility, gymnastics A++

Fantastic experience: The best place! Great facilities, encouraging coaches and supportive community. What more do you want! Have been coming for about 5 months now and it just keeps getting better. Thanks Mark and the team!!! :)

Fantastic experience: This gym is one of a kind. Not only that you'll get strong support from Mark and the team, but also learn effective ways of reaching your fitness goals. Thanks to the program, I lost 15 kilos! At CrossFit Essendon, every workout is different. I enjoy training at this gym. You'll love the positive environment and the community. Highly recommended.

I always felt cared for and supported and got a lot of attention to make sure I was doing the movements correctly and safely. I’ve never been stronger or fitter.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym more than any gym I’ve ever tried. The quality of all the trainers has helped me improve my form and lifting so much. But the best part about this gym is the community. Every person there is welcoming and has becoming more like a big supportive family to me then anything else! I can’t imagine going anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches who are always knowledgeable and motivating no matter your skill or fitness level. The Crossfit Essendon community are always open and supportive of each other and truly the best reason to keep showing up every session! The best Crossfit gyms make you forget you’re there for health and fitness and make it feel like you’re just hanging out with friends and I believe Crossfit Essendon definitely has that vibe!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Essendon has shown me that getting fit can be fun. I had gone to those boring same old gyms for about 7 years, being apart of crossfit has opened my eyes and rejuvenated my love for exercise. My plan now is to compete in the crossfit games and represent Crossfit Essendon. Existing times ahead for me

Fantastic experience: Crossfit trainer Mark is a very qualified trainer who has a sports science and a physiotherapy degree, he is very engaging and gives everyone the right amount of attention. Great place to do crossfit very positive environment.

Fantastic experience: I started coming here in Winter last year because I prefer the environment in group exercise classes. Crossfit Essendon didn’t disappoint. It’s a great atmosphere where everyone is welcoming and supportive and all the trainers are there to help you reach your fitness goals. Lastly, because Mark is a physio one of the key things he and the trainers do is to always ensure that your technique is correct and that everything is done safely to prevent injury.

Fantastic experience: My goal was to squat 80 kg in 6 months, I’m currently 8 kgs away and feeling confidant about my new stronger body. Highly recommend Crossfit Essendon

Fantastic experience: I've been training with CrossFit Essendon for around 2 years. It's been the best change I've made to my fitness and health routine. Not only are the group training sessions fun and challenging, but Mark and the team also have a wealth of knowledge regarding nutrition and healthy lifestyle living. My strength and fitness levels continue to improve every week and looking forward to improving even further! Thanks Mark and the team!
