CrossFit^® Richmond

Fantastic experience: The best fitness for sport

Fantastic experience: My partner and I attended CrossFit Richmond for a week whilst on holiday in Melbourne from Newcastle. It was a very welcoming environment and we were able to get our workouts in, even with our 3 month old baby in attendance with us. Loved the atmosphere and community vibe, which was accentuated by the integration of the cafe with the gym. Killer name for the cafe too. The sense of accountability from the members is what stood out most to me. Everyday people conscious of their health and longevity really trying to put their best foot forward. Bella and Dylan were excellent in my interactions with them and my observations of them with other members. They genuinely cared about each persons well-being and in ensuring people understood where they were and what they were doing. Keep up the excellent work CrossFit Richmond and we will see you again soon!

Fantastic experience: Large, friendly CrossFit community with great coaches, lots of session times. Caters for parents who need to bring their kids along, with a safe space for them to hang out and play with each other or just watch their iPads on beanbags whilst parents train. Having early morning sessions as well as a 930 session and a midday session is a big bonus for many. my wife Natalie came here after Crossfit Vault closed in the city and felt welcome quite quickly.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly professional and helped me thoroughly understand my physical capabilities. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Richmond was my first introduction to crossfit, and I could not be happier with the gym I chose! I did my fundamentals with Dylan, which was a very good experience and gave me the confidence I needed to jump into regular classes. All the coaches were super knowledgeable and friendly – special thanks to Bella who always pushed and encouraged me to do better. Crossfit Richmond is super inclusive and friendly and makes you feel part of the community immediately. Hope to see you again soon!

Fantastic experience: Great CrossFit box with great coaches.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Richmond is an awesome gym! I was visiting Melbourne for the week so did some drop ins and I loved it - the coaches are amazing and very knowledgeable, there's plenty of equipment and the members are all super friendly! There are also some incredible athletes training here which is always great to see!! Will definitely be back when I'm in Melbourne next! Thanks for having me guys!

Fantastic experience: I usually train solo, never did crossfit before. Crossfit Richmond is my first crossfit experience. Place is amazing, and people (Coaches and everyone else) extremely helpful, welcoming and knowledgeable. I felt welcomed and encouraged. Importantly, I’m challenged with new fitness programs, that definitely took my fitness levels to new heights, and it has only been less than 2 months, can’t even imagine what will happen after a year or two. I ask way too many questions, and they are more than happy to answer, demonstrate and adjust any thing requires adjustments. In addition, Crossfit can be like any other sport dangerous if you have wrong form, coaches are very vigilant and make sure that everyone does everything right to the smallest detail, which makes it a very safe sport at Crossfit Richmond.

Fantastic experience: The greatest gym; driven by its experienced staff, community and fun along the way!

Fantastic experience: An amazing CrossFit gym that caters to athletes of all abilities. Knowledgeable coaches, friendly members, and excellent facilities. Has made my move to Melbourne feel like the right choice!

Fantastic experience: I have been doing Crossfit for 7 years and this is by far the best Crossfit box I have trained at. The community, the coaches and the new owners are fabulous. If you want to learn Crossfit, get competitive or just hang out with awesome people whilst training.. this is it.. 5 stars, would recommend :)

Fantastic experience: Ripper gym, staff and vibe are both excellent. Tried a few different crossfit gyms around Melbourne and I came back to this one. Hands down the best programming and team.

Fantastic experience: An incredibly welcoming, supportive and fun community to be a part of. Also, an amazing crossfit gym. Super programming great coaching and awesome facilities.

Fantastic experience: I arrived in Australia almost 2 years ago, the first few months were tough. I was in a new country, I had no friends and my English was not great. But then I started training at CrossFit Richmond and it completely changed my life. I found an amazing and welcoming community. I had been in CF gyms before in my own country, and never felt as welcomed as I felt in here. The facility is massive. There is plenty of space and equipment. And the new owners (Heather and Simon) are putting a big effort in making it even better. The coaches are all great people, they are very knowledgeable and passionate about CrossFit. Honestly, I couldn’t recommend it more.

Fantastic experience: Such a great team of trainers and athletes always giving amazing advice and tips to improve and get gains. The space is huge so you never have to fight for space, especially as they offer so many classes and open gym times. If you are ever in Richmond, VIC you should drop in you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend! One of the friendliest crossfit gyms I’ve been to and the coaches truly care for you, regardless of your fitness level. Whether you’re thinking of joining a new gym or just looking to drop in, CFR is for you.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for years. Great coaching, great programming and even better community. Thanks Adam and Kath! - Ryan

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! My daughters home away from home while in Melbourne. Coaches are very helpful, supportive and friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained at CrossFit Richmond for the past month while visiting family in Melbourne. I can’t speak highly enough of the coaches and community. The programming is varied and progressive and caters for all levels whether you’ve been doing CrossFit for 10 years or just starting out. The coaches are incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. Every member was super friendly and it felt like I’d been training there for years. The facilities are huge, plenty of toilets, showers and parking. Highly recommend CFR if you’re visiting or lucky enough to live nearby and join as a member. Thank you Adam and the wonderful team!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic system of training, the right way. Excellent tailored coaching by very caring staff. The best way to train to get results, for functional strength and fitness.

Fantastic experience: The absolute best CrossFit programming and training I've ever received (and I've been going at this for 8+ years). The facilities are huge, there's an incredible amount of gear and machines and the other CrossFitters here just get on and get the work done in a friendly manner. At 40+ years old, I'm getting gains I never imagined possible....thank you CFR!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Richmond has excellent, knowledgable coaches, strong programming and a diverse timetable! I love training here!!

Fantastic experience: I would recommend this to anyone interested in getting fit and healthy. I've been to many gyms and this gym unlike other CrossFit gyms is done in a safe and motivating way. The trainers take the time to fix any technique issue you might have to keep you injury free and keep you getting stronger, fitter, more flexible and learning skillful gymnastics movements. Why wouldn't you give it a go?

Fantastic experience: Never did crossfit before joining this gym and now I can't imagine not having crossfit in my life. Adam, Kath and the fantastic coaches have taught me a lot about training, good technique and how to scale it according to my abilities. I started with little knowledge and everyone is friendly, helpful and patient. After 1 year, I'm feeling very strong and fit, and people around me are noticing. Love getting up every morning to train at Crossfit Richmond! Great community and people.

Fantastic experience: From the moment i joined this club i was hooked! All the coaches are top notch and the programming done here is unreal! My only regret is that i didn't start sooner! I have already gotten two of my friends to join up since i started a few weeks ago. If you are thinking about it giving it a go, DO IT!!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to train. Adam and the team push you to your limit however keeping mindful of where you're at, watching (and correcting) your form and scaling you accordingly. They are highly result based and there is no segregation/splitting into 'A and B' teams like other Crossfit establishments tend to do - you're in there training with everyone else and you can feel the comradeship and upbeat vibe oozing out of everyone. Their online Wodify programming is easy to use, recording and mapping out your results and progress. Get off your bum and have a chat with the guys today.

Fantastic experience: Excellent training facility, great programming and friendly environment. All CrossFit Richmond coaches are experienced, encouraging and dedicated to getting the best out of members. I have had several serious (non crossfit related) injuries and the rehabilitation I have done at CFR with the coaches has kept me physically fit and mentally tough. Fantastic place to work out!

Fantastic experience: Had a great time as a drop in for a week. Staff are super friendly and will take the time to correct your technique. Will come back next time I am in town.

Fantastic experience: The most incredibly professional and supportive training environment I have ever been involved in. Adam, Kath and all the trainers are at the top of their game offering training services that are second to none in an absolutely fantastic facility. The morale is always high and the care and support that exists throughout makes it an absolute privilege to train there.

Fantastic experience: Simply perfect - outstanding comuity vibe, the best coaches that care, and people don't take themselves to seriously and have a laugh 10/10 ✌️

Fantastic experience: CFR is such an amazing place to train!! I've been with CrossFit Richmond for 3 years and I absolutely love it. Awesome coaches and really positive vibes in the gym, professional programming which suits anyone who wants get fitter and stronger. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Really friendly and attentive coaches and a great atmosphere. Other members are all really welcoming and friendly too. Love CFR!

Fantastic experience: Extraordinary coaching and culture! If you looking to become an athlete, this is the place to be. Adam and his team take coaching and safety very seriously. I have improved my technique so much since I join their gym. People are very nice and competitive, which pushes me and challenges me every day. When you start they give you all the time to build the skills and improve lifts. However, be ready for a professional approach and strict coaching. While you there ask for the hot Mexicans! Fernando and Orlando

Fantastic experience: Been a member for over 5 years... tried many other Boxes and nothing beats CFR

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym to train at - the coaching is as good as it gets with a huge focus on safety & technique, with top programming. Brilliant people to train with and a great culture

Fantastic experience: Great sized gym with awesome coaches and lots of equipment.

Fantastic experience: Best box to train at. Wonderful coaches. Fantastic vibe. Friendly and happy people - even at 5:45AM

Fantastic experience: As someone who has only just recently started CrossFit I can honestly say that training at CrossFit Richmond has been one of the most positive and welcoming environments that I've experienced. All of the coaches and members have been so supportive. The biggest thing I've noticed is the level of coaching I get when coming to sessions, the attention to detail and appropriate guidance I get is fantastic, it means I never feel out of depth or like I can't participate in a session. There's no elitist vibes going on, just a great bunch of people who genuinely want to see each other do the best they can - love it!

Fantastic experience: Highly qualified and friendly coaches, a well equipped gym, great programming, and a welcoming community... what more could you want? CFR focuses on safe and quality movement, and caters for athletes of all levels. You won't find a better box than CFR!

Fantastic experience: This gym has the best atmosphere and people to train with on the planet! The level of expertise and consistency with coaching is incredible. It is a community of people that come together to train, grow and support each other every single day! Highly recommend Crossfit Richmond for all athletes from beginner to advanced and anyone in between!

Fantastic experience: Walked in 3 years ago...and have never looked back! CFR have by far the most professional and experienced trainers I have ever been exposed to. They have created a wonderful community and attracted an amazing group of members which I all consider family now. My Crossfit has improved exponentially since starting and am still continuing to improve with their exceptional programming. They are focused on all elements of Crossfit and I feel I have developed all around because of this. An absolute delight to train there! Highly recommend it.

Negative experience: I wanted to continue my weight training in a location close to me after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016 and my training was interrupted by surgery, 6 months of chemo and 6 weeks of radiotherapy and many many complications and infections on top of having a lifelong illness. I spoke with a trainer from CrossFit Richmond who agreed to see me on a needs basis for personal training. Then someone called Kath (i think one of the head coaches/co-owners) called me back and told me that they cannot offer me pt sessions because it was "bad for everybody" for me to come on board due to me going through chemotherapy and not being able to commit 100%. She also referred to someone she coached previously and said that the other person also had breast cancer and "dragged herself to training" when she was going through the treatments and that there was no reason why i shouldn't do the same. I had only just started strength training after being interrupted, and I understand that the other person was already well into her training by the time of her diagnosis. Kath continued to cut me off again and again to state her opinion on my cancer experience, and referred constantly to this other person and i told her that everyone is different and that not everyone can train that hard throughout chemotherapy, but that I was going to try my best to stick with appointments, to which she cut me off and told me that they would not be able to train me even after the other coach already said he was happy to meet with me. There's quite a bit of hostility in her voice as she dominated the conversation. I understood that they want to only cater for capable people who can commit to payment. Just putting it out there that perhaps a training center that does not have your best interest in mind, and doesn't really care about you if and when you get sick or have anything happen to you out of your control, then perhaps the training center isn't really about you. It's about them and what suits them. I also received some other feedback from an extremely lovely, experienced and highly reputable coach whom I will not name, that the lady I spoke with can be quite harsh and that the culture at the gym can harbour animosity. Please beware, find out all you can about it and talk to them about differing scenarios before joining. Please try elsewhere if you have any illness or disability and/or wanting to start something new.

Fantastic experience: Excellent training facility, great programming and friendly environment. All CrossFit Richmond coaches are experienced, encouraging and dedicated to getting the best out of members. I have had several serious (non crossfit related) injuries and the rehabilitation I have done at CFR with the coaches has kept me physically fit and mentally tough. Fantastic place to work out!

Fantastic experience: Honestly the best coaches I have ever had! All the coaches care about you so much and want you to succeed and always challenge me. They remember you on an individual basis and what fitness level you are at. The coaches are always so attentive and encourage you too. It's so refreshing to get coaches that walk the talk and actually know their stuff, unlike most gyms you go to!The community of cross fitters are Also amazing people and brilliant to train with!

Fantastic experience: Honestly the best CrossFit box by far!! These guys are truly awesome. They are so welcoming, have incredible highly trained coaches, great facilities and the programming is on point! They are very accommodating and enabled me to train right through my pregnancy. Well done CFR!

Fantastic experience: A bunch of qualified professionals that follow your progress very closely..It's great fun but at the same time they take training very seriously.. the groups are great and very supportive... WODs are carefully planned to improve your strength and skills overtime which is awesome and they are very much welcome to suggestions on how to make your experience better. The fact that there is on site myotherapy and physio is also a big plus! If you're thinking about it, come and ask the coaches and give it a go! Thanks to the team!
