CrossFit® Iron Bear: Opinions
Fantastic experience: CrossFit Ironbear is an amazing fitness company run by Adrian and his family. I love the atmosphere Ironbear has whether you go to the 6am or 6pm. Going to CrossFit Ironbear has not only helped me mentally but physically keeps my body free of injury thanks to the huge range of experience coaches have, and the warm up, strength piece, workout of the day and cool down routine kept each day. Forever grateful to the family vibes of the place.
Thanks Liz. I love having you in the place, and you bring great life to the sessions. Part of the family
Positive experience: Cross fit Iron bear has a terrific culture, very encouraging and supporting coaches who get the best out of you at every training session. All the Athletes that train also contribute to that hard training attitude which is very refreshing to see. I recommend the “box” as a wonderful training facility with plenty of room and a welcoming environment.
Been great having you in the place and seeing the progress you’re making. Keep up the great work
Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic gym to workout in! The coaches are very welcoming and attentive to everyone's needs. As a visitor to Melbourne, this was an amazing experience to complete my WOD each day and be a part of a wonderful community! Adrian was especially helpful with my temporary membership and getting to know my way around the area. Whenever I am nearby again I will be sure to drop in!
Hey Lincoln, was great to have you with us. I’m sure we will catch up again in the future
Fantastic experience: The gym is clean and well equipped, they have many classes in a day, for before and after working hour. The coaches are friendly and know what they doing. Wanna try Crossfit for the 1st time or just come for dropping the barbel, you will be in the right hand.

Thanks Malise. Was great to be able to accomodate your training. Hope to see you again real soon.
Fantastic experience: Incredible gym with wonderful community and excellent programming. I've never felt more motivated to show up and get to work as I have in this gym with this team. The week free trial is brilliant for getting a feel of how CrossFit works and whether it would be the right gym/programme for you. All I can say is, give it a go!
Thanks Obed. Love having you in the place always smiling and keen to improve
Fantastic experience: The most encouraging, supportive and friendly Crossfit gym you will find! Adrian and his team of knowledgeable coaches and even other members always make you feel welcome and apart of the family; whether it’s your first or fiftieth class. Love starting or finishing my day with a CrossFit class :)
Thanks so much. We love having you in the place and the work you put in is just amazing...and then go and do a half marathon!!! Well done
Fantastic experience: How encouraging to read the post from a young mum taking the bold step to join the challenge while managing her family. Well done. I also took the challenge. Yes I am Adrian.s mum but I took the challenge to keep myself functioning as a 79 year old. I go to exercise classes appropriate for my age but I needed a goal to work towards. This seemed challenging but as I have no experience in "Gyms" as such I was a little apprehensive as too my ability to cope with workouts. I want to encourage people of my age to go to Cross fit especially my son's in Ferntree Gully as the effort was well rewarded. The coaches were encouraging attentive to mine and all other people's abilities, they were able to give options to the exercise if it was physically difficult for my age to cope with and they were so professional and focussed. The modified program I did was challenging but not impossible to do. The improvement in my agility and mental attitude is so good, as I was seen as just another person trying to "keep going" in Life. Yes It was hard ! Yes it was tiring and Yes I am exhausted after "my programme" but the benefits are so worth it. I would love to see other people my age there working out It is such an encouraging place. To be not seen as an old person but another person taking care of their health and attitude. And finally it was fun. Thank you Anita and Steve I loved it.
Thanks Mum! Keep moving and improving.
Fantastic experience: The crew at Iron Bear are amazing, the atmosphere that Adrian and team is creating is one of support and passion. It is just like a big family. I just have a blast at every training session. And I'm proud to be a member and part of such a great gym.

Fantastic experience: I started here last year at age 50 not having done any type of gym training before. . If you are like I was and starting to feel old and stiff then this is the fountain of youth. Give it a few weeks and you will feel 20 years younger. See you there Scott McKinnon
Haha I remember your first few weeks. Credit to you for sticking at it. The gains in mobility and strength are fantastic and there is so much more to be found. Love the fountain of youth!

Tim! I’m really excited to see what you can achieve. Looking forward to watching you develop in CrossFit.
Fantastic experience: I am 60+, new to X-Fit. Signed up for the Motion 50+ class. Glad to have a very patient and professional instructor like Adrian, to cover with me the basic X-fit movements, building up my strength and balancing capabilities. Excellent. equipment and facilities at CFIB were great too
Thanks Clara. So good to have you trying new things, staying active, getting involved and continuing on your fitness journey regardless of age.
Fantastic experience: My home away from home! I love throwing weights around and improving my fitness here! All the members are great fun, enthusiastic and encouraging. Adrian does a fantastic job of running the gym and making everyone feel welcome & important...while also giving the athletes a run for their money in the workouts! Exeptional programming by Unifyd (Rob Forte - multiple Crossfit games competitor) who also coaches Torian Pro winner and Crossfit games athlete Jay Crouch. I'm lucky to have the best coaching from Cam, Steve and Andreas, I've also been coached by Anita who is an awesome coach. Keeping accountable on the leaderboard is interesting for me as I'm a little bit competetive The most fun you can have getting fit and improving your quality of life.
A run for ya money hey Well I have to make sure you're not taking the easy road out...haha Glad you're enjoying the place.
Fantastic experience: I've just recently started at Crossfit Iron Bear but have been welcomed with open arms. Every coach is kind and so helpful, such a warm and inviting place!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place and awesome people! Really positive environment with great trainers who push you to do your absolute best. I haven’t even been there for too long and never write a review but this place deserves more than 5 stars. I didn’t think I’d enjoy this but turns out I love it as trainers will make exercises according to injury if necessary!!
It’s been so good having you join us. There is so much for you to discover and I think you’ve uncovered some of it already. Remember to not let the old guys beat you…haha I think you know what I mean. Appreciate the review!
Fantastic experience: CF Iron Bear is a place with great energy where training is always fun, coaches take you step by step to improve your level and reach your goals. Find Yourself!!!
Thanks mate. Your smile is infectious in the place and love having you around.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism
Fantastic experience: Just completed a week of online classes because of lockdown 2.0, and it has been such a positive experience! The online classes run seamlessly, the coaches are so accommodating and able to scale ALL the movements depending on what is available at home (I've just been using a backpack with books and water in it!). I feel so energised and satisfied after completing a session.
Now I know it’s a reply 2 yrs in the making but thank you so much. I must say I’m glad we can train in the box though as I really missed the community aspect of CrossFit. Good to have you still with us today.
Fantastic experience: 5 STARS ALL THE WAY Crossfit Kids is such a great class.. All the coaches are amazing! the workouts are so much fun, and different each week!!! They coaches are great with kids that are super nervous, and have difficulty in believing they can do the movements. My daughter was one of them!!! It has given her so much more confidence within herself.. we love it here at Iron Bear !!
Fantastic experience: As we were visiting my wife's relatives, Crossfit IronBear was the closest box to their house. I had a chance to train there for a week and to meet lovely people. Mark is such a nice guy that he even helped me looking after my 2 years old son so I could train in peace. I know there are plenty of Crossfit boxes in the area but for someone who has been traveling and training in different parts of the world, this one stands out from the crowd. Michael (from FRANCE)
Fantastic experience: Fantastic workouts with awesome coaching staff. Combine that with an amazing and friendly family of people who help you, encourage you, and cheer you on, you couldn't ask for more
As I’m looking back I see your post. Love ya mate and now 3 yrs later you are still smashing goals. Just like a good wine, you’re getting better with age.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to train, whether you are just starting out or a champion athlete! Everyone makes you very welcome and there is a lovely inclusive culture of community. The coaches really know their stuff and give helpful tips and pointers to get techniques right.
A huge thanks Vicky. Appreciate the kind words
Fantastic experience: I don't train here but spectated at Cupids Roar Comp as was impressed how the event was run
