Elite 818

Fantastic experience: Conan made my experience at Elite818 a really positive one. Even though I had limited experience in some exercises/movements he was able to support and coach in a way that made me feel comfortable and at ease.

Fantastic experience: Super welcoming, great workout

Fantastic experience: Great gym, Conan the trainer is the best! He motivates you to push yourself in every class, helping you choose your weights and always aiming to increase them while focusing on strengthening muscles. The classes are very comprehensive, working the entire body. I highly recommend it 100%!

Fantastic experience: Thanks Elite 818 to be the best place in Port Douglas to workout, with full motivation, fun, good vibes, and incredible trainers...just can't wait to my next training day! Feel more stronger with Elite 818!

Fantastic experience: I love it nice people, amazing place and hard training

Fantastic experience: Never felt more supported and encouraged embarking on a new fitness journey. So motivated and excited for this process!

Fantastic experience: I began my fitness journey under the guidance of Elite 818 in March 2024, and today, on July 19th 2024, I am thrilled to report a significant achievement: I've shed 9kgs (in just under 5 months). However, the true measure of my success transcends mere numbers on a scale. From our very first session, Conan and Saalia’s approach was refreshingly holistic. Rather than fixating on weight loss alone, they emphasized sustainable lifestyle changes and overall well-being. Beyond physical exercise, they provided invaluable nutritional advice tailored to my needs, empowering me to make healthier choices without feeling deprived. Their encouragement extended beyond the gym, fostering a positive mindset that has been instrumental in my journey. Today, I can confidently say I've never been happier or more content with my overall health. Thanks to Elite 818’s expertise, patience, and unwavering support, I've not only transformed my body but also my perspective on fitness. Their dedication to my success is evident in every session, making them not just a coach, but a true partner in my wellness journey. If you're seeking more than just a gym routine, but a transformative experience that nurtures both body and mind, I wholeheartedly recommend Elite 818.

Fantastic experience: Love training at the gym with Conan and the team, everyone is so welcoming and supportive which makes for an awesome environment to push yourself and achieve your goals!

Fantastic experience: Hermosa experiencia! Solo 1 hora de tu día para sentirte feliz de haber hecho algo para tu salud física y mental. Con el seguimiento personal en cada clase, los logros físicos se ven muy rápidamente. Un lugar para divertirse entrenando!

Fantastic experience: Cada clase es una experiencia increíble! Los entrenadores muy amigables y el lugar está completamente equipado, muchas gracias por enseñarme que cada uno define sus propios límites y que cuando te lo propones, ningún ejercicio es imposible.

Fantastic experience: Hermoso el box, un ambiente fabuloso y los profes maravillosos. Lo Recomiendo 100% para mejorar la salud mental, física y social!!!

Fantastic experience: I have just trained at Elite 818 for the week of my holidays at Port Douglas. I have many years of powerlifting/bodybuilding/CrossFit training experience. I commend Conan and Saalia for the unique set up and community they have :0) It felt like the gym family I just hadn’t met yet. The coaching, the welcome and the banter were something I will always remember. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough the next time you are in Port Douglas and need your workout or WOD fix.

Fantastic experience: We’ve been on holiday in Port Douglas for the week and couldn’t have found a better gym to attend up here. As non CrossFit gym goers, Conan made us feel so welcome and clearly explained every movement. We’ve loved every session at Elite818 and are so sad to be leaving, we wish there was a gym like this in Melbourne. We would highly recommend this gym to people visiting.

Fantastic experience: Best thing I ever did for myself was signing up to Elite 818. Without sounding cheesy, I really wanted to make some changes in my world and this has been the kickstart I needed. Conan and Saalia are amazing at what they do and they genuinely care about getting people healthy, happy and on the right track to reach their individual goals and successes. I never thought I would enjoy going to the gym!

Fantastic experience: Thank you for all the support guys !! I love this place

Fantastic experience: Great gym, owner was great and extremely accomodating! Would highly recommend if you need somewhere to train in Port Douglas

Fantastic experience: Thought I was joining a gym but ended up joining a beautiful community full of people supporting each other to reach goals! Conan and Saalia are always available to coach me through life and have helped me achieve so much in such a short amount of time! So happy I joined Elite it really is the best decision I have made since moving to Port Douglas!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Elite818 gym for 12 weeks and I love it. Awesome people and awesome gym. Cohan is great, whether it be to help with technique, encouragement to keep going, advice on nutrition or a chat about what’s going on in your head! Physically and mentally I feel so much healthier and happier! I’d never done group fitness classes before and was nervous I wouldn’t be able to keep up but the way a class is set up it works for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Before joining Elite818 in September 2022, I had never joined a gym or done a fitness class. In fact, outside of excessive amounts of walking, I never had much interest in actually building a rigorous exercise habit, even though I knew intellectually of course that exercise was transformative for the body, mind, and spirit. I couldn’t quite get how people enjoy it and was quite intimidated by the prospect of even walking into a gym. But on Day One of The Six Week challenge, as I signed up for the gym for the first time in my entire life, the gym intimidation wall soon fell very quickly. What I was greeted with was a warm welcoming community, fun structured fitness classes, a beautiful open gym, and, of course, the magic of Conan and Saalia. The Elite818 husband and wife duo, ever the consummate professionals, masters in their craft, deeply care about their clients, in whatever shape or stage of their fitness journey they are on. Above and beyond feels like an understatement frankly. As I reflect on my journey now seven months in, I am filled with a deep well of emotion that I struggle to put my heartfelt gratitude into words. Not only do I have exercise habits built into me now, but I truly love the journey of exercise + strength training that I am now walking down - for life. All thanks to Conan and Saalia’s little nexus of human transformation they have created here in Port Douglas. They have truly changed my life. From regular classes to coaching chats to five highs, to ice baths, to an awesome positive community; it all comes together to create a flowing brew of Elite818’s magic. I could write a huge list of all the other little things, but I say come in and experience the Elite818's alchemy for yourself. I’d recommend Elite 818 for everyone- whether you are here on a holiday looking for a class or two, or a local looking for a place for regular training, Elite 818 is the place to be. To anyone reading this, who like myself may have never been to a gym before and may find it intimidating, I get it. But what you may find may surprise you, and like me, change the trajectory of your life. Love you Conan and Saalia.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Conan & Saalia at Eltite 818, went here during my holidays for a workout. Good session timings, great mix of cardio, strength and endurance training. Place had a great vibe and Conan is a excellent coach. Would highly recommend these guys for some HIIT if your up in Port Douglas. Wish you guys well!

Fantastic experience: I have never considered myself a gym person, but that has changed in the last few months I've been attending Elite 818. Conan and his team provide an excellent, supportive environment where you can ask questions and just give it a go. Don't worry if it seems hard at first - give it a chance, give it time, keep turning up. You can take things at your own pace but will still benefit from the trainer's encouragement and attention. The collective knowledge of staff Conan, Saalia and Helene on fitness, strength and nutrition is exceptional. In just 8 weeks, I've gained strength, lost weight and most of all, gained confidence and a strange joy in lifting weights. Hard to explain, I'm surprised myself, but there you go. I thoroughly recommend this gym and encourage all to try it. I'm just an average person, not buff, not skinny, not a gym bunny, and I love it. This place is for everyone keen to improve the quality of their lives.

Fantastic experience: Great coaching team, welcoming community and fantastic support. If you’re looking for somewhere to train around the Port Douglas area, look no further than Elite 818!

Fantastic experience: Amazing! Life changing… not just a place to go and work out. A holistic journey that is so supportive and beneficial on so many levels. Such a fun, high energy environment, you’ll receive first class genuine care in such an inclusive environment for all abilities. I highly recommend. You won’t regret it! Blessed with the best at Elite 818

Fantastic experience: The best gym ever!! I have so much more confidence in myself and have more muscle then I have in years thanks to Conan and saalia for being such amazing coaches they keep you motivated and make it enjoyable as I don’t usually like doing things in groups but they make it such a comfortable place to just be yourself and do your thing

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the elite818 team, is such an amazing environment to be in. This team has helped build my confidence and strength they have mentally and physically challenged me and I feel so much better about myself then I thought was possible.

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere at Elite 818 is uplifting, inclusive and inspiring. I’ve never had a better support crew to check in with me and hold such a positive space for growth…both mentally and physically. Conan is a solid coach who gets straight to the core of what you need and keeps it real. I really value his no bullsh*t approach to calling things out but equally celebrating success.

Fantastic experience: When I joined Elite 818, I didn't realise what I was signing up for, all I know is that I needed to change. If not for me, for my son but I'd let my past get in the way of that. I've tried to join a lot of other gyms and fitness classes looking for something that would get me on the right path to being the kind of person I want to be for my son. I honestly had my doubts but Saalia and Conan helped me realise the life I want to live and the example I want to set for my son. It may not always be easy, and sometimes it's downright confronting but for the first time in my life I am actually looking forwards to making fitness my priority. Each week I find new and better ways to challenge myself and have found the most amazing community by doing so. Thank you…you have literally changed my life

Fantastic experience: The first time I have committed to this type of workout environment, and with a very specific goal ahead, I wondered how I would go. I completey loved this experience and for me Conan was a fantastic motivator and coach throughout this time, he continuously checked in with me personally to ensure I was getting what I needed for my goal, which I absolutely was. Physically as well as mentally I wanted to be challenged, and that was certainly delivered, and at the end of the 6 weeks, I gained even more than I expected to. Digging deep in both areas, gaining clarity, confidence, strength and further motivation along the way. Bringing a great combination of focus as well as fun, the sessions remained both varied and challenging. A great bunch of regulars also allows for a good vibe and encouragement. Conan you are brilliant at what you do. Thank you Conan and Elite 818!!

Fantastic experience: The best gym!! Conan & Saalia are both incredibly supportive and encouraging coaches. Each session is a different routine which makes things exciting! The Elite community are an awesome bunch of friendly people who support each other through the workouts. Can’t recommend Elite enough! The results are amazing.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a quick workout whilst on holidays in Port Douglas. Awesome gym and trainer.

Fantastic experience: We were in Port Douglas for 2 nights and I wanted to burn off some beers; Conon was very welcoming and the workout definitely burn the beers. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I wanted to keep up my work outs while on holiday and this was just the place. Conan ran great classes which I was able to join as a drop in.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Conan for last few months for private coaching as well as joining in with Conan and Saalia's group classes. Conan is a warm and personable coach who is always available for his clients. I really enjoy training with Conan workouts are intense and varied with focus on form. Conan devotes much of his time with you asking the big questions and unpacking which habits are serving you and working on those that don't. Great facilities in the gym, well laid out. Classes are intense but easily scalable to all fitness levels. You always feel amazing when you leave 818. Great family business, well worth the investment in yoir self!

Fantastic experience: Conan’s programs are great! The diversity keeps it interesting and prevents boredom!! As a coach Conan naturally brings an element of fun to all sessions, meaning you always want to come back for more!!!!! I love working out with Elite…. the physical intensity of the sessions have been very helpful for me to improve focus and clear the head!!!! Thanks Conan!

Fantastic experience: Conan is a great inspirational motivator! He is helping me get stronger and believing in myself! The ice baths at the end of each session is so good for sore joints and muscles!

Fantastic experience: Love, love, love my classes with Conan at Elite. Classes are different each time so you are never bored with the same routine. You can work at your own level so will suit all ages and fitness level. Space is clean and well maintained.

Fantastic experience: I honestly never thought I would like the “concept” of a group fitness program. But my perception was completely wrong with Elite 818 and Conan brought a whole new meaning of fitness to my life. It’s not just what you do in the gym, but awareness and accountability outside the gym as well. The crew is fun, encouraging and welcoming from day one. No judgement means no boundaries. I’ve not only grown stronger physically, but mentally, which is most important. I feel supported & encouraged and am thrilled that I found a place where I can be myself while getting everything I need from a fabulous coach in the process. He genuinely cares about each person individually. When you are away for a few weeks due to travel or illness and are greeted back with a hug and a “welcome home”, you know you are in the right place.

Fantastic experience: Conan and the team at ELITE818 have been everything I could ask for. They have supported me through injuries and provided guidance to continue to train at a high level. The facilities are top notch, the coaching is excellent and supportive, and each session is unique to keep it interesting. I would highly recommend giving ELITE818 a go, regardless of your fitness level, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome. I have tried many times over the years to maintain a gym routine with no tangible success but with specialist help from Elite_818 I have been able to stick with it and be in the best shape of my life both mentally and physically. They offer so much in the way of programs, diet and personal coaching and genuinely care for each of their clients needs to help them to achieve whatever goal they desire. So much love and gratitude for theses guys.

Fantastic experience: Conan is a five star person and five star personal trainer. Every program is well considered and motivational toward reaching personal best goals. It was my lucky day to find him.

Fantastic experience: Elite 818 provides an awesome opportunity to take charge of your life. By setting my goals and working hard to achieve them I have not only gotten more physically healthy, but my overall quality of life is improved. I am more motivated, more confident, more productive and I feel happier and more patient within myself. Conan and Saalia are incredible coaches, identifying and celebrating each of their students' greatness (without comparing them to each other). The road to happiness lies within our own self-improvement and Elite coaching provides guidance and encouragement all along that road, I'm so pleased I decided to take the plunge and do something powerful and meaningful for myself!

Fantastic experience: Elite 818 is more than a gym, it’s a big family. Australian, French, Italian, Spanish, wherever you come from, how old you are, they will always look after you and push you to your best. We all support each other and this is why I love this gym. Saalia and Conan do everything to help you about your body but they also give you so many keys to be a better person and to feel good in your life. I see my body changing week by week, that’s gave me the motivation to change my diet, to listen my body, to take the right decisions for myself. And this is because I go to the RIGHT place every week, ELITE 818.

Fantastic experience: Great team of supportive coaches, huge variety in the workouts, just a whole lot lot of awesomeness all-round! So easy to keep motivated, just turn up, follow instructions and you'll get fit! Simples! I'm addicted!

Fantastic experience: Great Coach, recommended to join who is serious about fitness.

Fantastic experience: Conan and Saalia are incredibly supportive, encouraging and knowledgeable with a genuine interest in your own personal goals. Whatever your ability they are there to help you get better and reach your goals at your own pace. There is a real friendly community feel so you can feel comfortable while you are working out with great support.

Fantastic experience: From the moment I spoke to Conan over the phone after considering doing a 6week program, I knew I'd found the right place. His passion and no nonsense approach to not only fitness but life, is addictive and fun. The gym is an amazing setup and the people are friendly and encouraging. If you're even considering giving it a go, just don't think about it, just do it! Thanks team for the physical and mental kick I needed

Fantastic experience: My partner and I spent a week on holiday in Port Douglas and wanted to keep our training up. Conan was exceptionally gracious and flexible to allow us to train at Elite 818. Had a fabulous time at the very friendly and well equipped gym - highly recommend a visit!

Fantastic experience: Motivating, supportive, friendly staff. Variety of class times and workout options. Professional and caring attention shown to all members. A great place to workout! Keep it up Elite 818.

Fantastic experience: Elite818 is amazing. Great classes in a highly supportive environment makes it an absolute pleasure to train and reach your fitness goals, whatever they may be. Conan and Saalia have created the perfect combination of mental and physical support in an ego free space that means anyone of any level can feel part of the whole. I cannot rate it highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy going to Elite, Conan is an awesome trainer and keeps each session interesting and exciting as the workouts are always a bit different every time I go. I leave there feeling like I’ve got the most out of the session as he’s really encouraging and pushes you to give you’re absolute best. I definitely feel like my overall fitness has improved and feel a lot stronger since I’ve started, not just my body but my mind too.

Fantastic experience: After being dragged to a ‘bring a friend’ class I was hooked! Conan is very welcoming and takes the time to correct anything not done properly. After only a short time training at Elite 818 I’m already feeling stronger. 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience: Elite 818 is a great gym in every sense. The programme seems at exactly the right point of intensity and safety, the facility is well located, well equipped and well organised. Conan certainly know his stuff and has a very effective approach to both training and motivation. It’s clear that he is personally invested in your success and goes above and beyond the physical training. As a new client it is an enthusiastic, welcoming and supportive team that you’re walking into which makes the 5am wake ups something to look forward to!!

Fantastic experience: After hearing good things about elite 818 from a few people which had trained at the gym, I decided to start a 6-week transformation challenge. From the first contact with Conan, where he explained what was included and how it all worked, I was impressed ..... Turning up for the first session I was nervous but also excited, the coaches as you walk in removed any nervous feelings and made you feel right at home. As the weeks progressed I felt more and more part of the elite team and seeing the progression within myself thanks to the guidance of Conan and the coaches has been amazing. The extra push that comes from have a coach/mentor is fantastic !!! I would say that I have gained a new group of friends from this gym. Overall I have loved every moment of training in the elite gym and look forward to continuing training here for the future.

Fantastic experience: Joined just over a year ago to finally get the strength and confidence I have always wanted. Conan and Saalia provide a safe and fun community that really gave me the confidence to push myself and improve my general well-being. Cannot recommend them enough! Perfect for those individuals who are starting gym/exercise for the first time and perfect for those who have been exercising for a long time. Please give them a call you won’t be sorry!

Fantastic experience: Changed completely my prospective on myself and what I can accomplish. Conan and Saalia create a super positive vibe where everyone help each other and push you to do more. After the 6 weeks challenge I was doing things I didn’t think I could and that had a positive impact on all the aspect of my life. The feeling of accomplishment has an incredible power on your everyday life. Also its great to see people of every age (I met ppl from 18 to 70) training together and give each other support. Totally recommended!!

Fantastic experience: Conan and Saalia put in 150% to help you achieve your goals and believe in you. They won’t quit and will give you all the tools you need to go plus ultra. Would recommend anyone to just do it you won’t regret it !!!

Positive experience: Great intensity and will push you to your limits - whatever they are!

Fantastic experience: After moving to Port Douglas in December 2020 I was very pleased to find a gym set up like Elite 818 have. The workouts programmed during classes are a great test both mentally and physically. Conan is a great trainer and it is clear to see that he is personally invested in each one of his clients and will go above and beyond in helping them reach their goals. Alongside the great gym space and trainers, the other gym members are amazing to train alongside with. I would highly recommend Elite 818 to people of all fitness levels that are wanting that little bit more out of life.

Fantastic experience: Elite has been one of the best choices I've made in my life. I love everything about it, the motivation, commitment and community. I joined to take my fitness to the next level and to push myself further then I would by myself and I have definitely got that. Training at elite is the highlight of my day.

Fantastic experience: Joining the team at Elite 818 has been an incredibly positive and rewarding experience for me. Their professionalism, knowledge and passion is next level, and their welcoming and friendly culture makes me look forward to every session. In a short time I feel stronger both physically and mentally, and I’m excited about what I can achieve under the guidance of these terrific trainers. Elite 818 has been a game changer for me, can’t recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Elite 818 is more than your own fitness journey; it's being apart of a fitness family who motivate, support and encourage each individual to achieve their goals. Each fitness session is different, including exercises testing your mind, body and soul. Coaches provide meal plans suited to you, gym equipment, unconditional support, a fun atmosphere, experience and knowledge to ensure you reach your goals. I look forward to going to each class. Could not recommend more. Joining elite has been one of the best things I've done for myself. Never been happier.

Fantastic experience: Simply put, Conan is the best trainer I’ve ever had. He brings a wholistic approach and genuinely cares for you and what your goals are no matter how ambitious or conservative the goals. I was a bit nervous about going in just for a week, but the second I walked in the doors Conan and his clients made me feel right at home. It’s a real team environment. I also really enjoyed getting to know the locals who trained there and then seeing them around town. We go to Port Douglas twice a year and I will be going to see Conan Monday, Wednesday, Fridays at 7 and then hitting the pool by 8.30. Thanks again 818, wish you were in Melbourne.

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers that are very knowledgeable and have that care factor for their people, highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I don’t even know where to begin! I’ve done my fair share of group training classes / personal training but nothing compares to Elite 818. Conan and the team really do care about you reaching your goals and go above and beyond to ensure that you feel like you’re making progress and creating a better you. It’s not just about working out at Elite 818, it’s about changing your bad habitats, eating healthier, getting stronger mentally etc... you also have the chance to meet great people while working out. The workout’s always push me and I’ve noticed such a change in myself since I’ve joined Elite 818. Thanks Conan and Saalia! (and scarlette and summer!)

Fantastic experience: Elite 818... not just a gym, it's a community. A non-judgemental environment where you're supported by Saalia and Conan, as well as your gym family. The workouts are wicked, and you're pushed to achieve your individual goals (and you actually reach them!). I've just completed my second program and there's already a huge shift in my physical well-being and mental well-being. Everyone is so welcoming, it's the first place I have felt truly comfortable in my own skin since moving to Port Douglas. So big thank you to the Elite 818 team, you guys are all so amazing.

Fantastic experience: The energy in the gym in Port Douglas is so positive, everyone is looking out for each other and helping each other, not an ego in sight! Lots of work has gone into creating a positive and encouraging environment, you work to your own abilities and there is always emphasis on individuals and body types rather than a ‘one size fits all approach’. After completing the 8 week program I feel fitter, stronger and have so much more energy, I love the work outs which are always different so there’s no time to get bored. Work outs are tailored if you’re beginner or if you’re an athlete, you’ll be motivated to work at your own level with your personal goals in mind. Conan is amazing to work with, super knowledgeable and always happy to answer any questions or help in any way. So far an amazing experience which I couldn’t recommend highly enough if you’re after something different to your regular regular gym experience.

Fantastic experience: I started at Elite 18 months ago. With the intention of just completing the 6 week transformation challenge I thought yep I'll get to my goals and be much happier! HAA seems silly now. What Conan and Saalia do is dig way deeper into how you are feeling, how you WANT to feel and base training and goals around that. The vibe at the gym is just addictive. Everyone is so supportive. Not once have I ever felt judged or made to feel less than anyone else (one of my major fears when starting). I love that Conan can train you at any level. If theres a workout that seems way too hard....no sweat. He will adjust it for you so you're still hitting your workout goals. When I started I couldn't even do a squat or a push up. It blows my mind to see how far I have come and I feel we have only just hit the tip of the iceberg. Cannot recommend Elite818 enough!

Fantastic experience: ELITE818 for me wasn’t just a workout place where you can go and loose couple of kilos or put on some muscle it was more like an lifestyle, a lifestyle in which you could be better person , can have more self-confidence, someone who is always motivated to achieve the set goals. Also I would love to share my thoughts about Conan to me he is coach who has supported me through mental , emotional and physical challenges. He always inspired me for moving forward fighting through all the difficulties and I did and ended up winning over those problems. A big thank you to Conan

Fantastic experience: Elite 818 in Port Douglas is a GYM GEM! From the owners/trainers Conan & Saalia and their professionalism, knowledge and experience, to the never ever easy workouts, it is exactly what I needed and I am so glad I finally took the step and got back into exercising. The workouts are always challenging and I find the mix between weight/strength training and cardio a perfect combination to achieve my goal of becoming healthier, fitter and stronger. Conan and Saalia do live videos to the team members with health and fitness related topics, also Q&A live streams, meal plans if you want, we have an app to record our training progress and to book your next workout....and a lot of other extras you can take advantage of. The gym has a great energy, it is super clean and COVID safe and let’s not forget the great music Conan chooses for pushing us to our limits ;-) After 8 weeks training with Conan 3 hrs per week the results are starting to show and I feel energised! I will definitely keep going.

Fantastic experience: I recently moved to Port Douglas from interstate and work in a high-stress job. My top priorities in moving were to find a place to re-focus on my training and to meet people with similar interests and I have found that at Elite 818. Conan and Saalia and the training crew at Elite 818 are all very welcoming and supportive, the workouts are challenging and I love that I can track my improvements. There are people of all ages and abilities and the training is tailored and scaled to suit the abilities of everybody so that each person can progress towards their own personal goals at their own pace.

Fantastic experience: An absolute gem of a gym that I’m very grateful for in this tiny town. It’s got THE LOT! No matter how you like to train, Conan and Saalia have it covered. My personal experience is finding how they adjust exercises to fit around personal body limitations whilst still pushing you. There is no excuse for not being able to get there, as there are three time choices of class a day and three days a week for the group sessions. No matter how old or young you are everyone is catered to. Always a challenge on offer : video questions and answers : and a whole heap more Super glad I’m part of the Elite 818 team : I love it.

Fantastic experience: Conan blends the right amount of professionalism and friendly enthusiasm to make training and reaching your fitness goals a reality. For busy people the work outs and motivation from the fun crew makes this recommendation easy.

Fantastic experience: Elite 818 has been the best fitness program for me. In the year I have been with Elite 818 I have found myself to be more fitter, healthier and mentally stronger. Conan has helped me get through some difficult times and has pushed me to keep going. Elite 818 has become part of my weekly routine and I look forward to every session.

Fantastic experience: After a few years of trying but failing to get back into regular exercise, I have found the best place. It’s a perfect combo of supportive, motivating and adaptive. The work outs are hard but professionally tailored for each individual. The space is clean, well stocked with a plethora of equipment and covid rules are carefully followed. It’s family friendly, time slots are well structured and catered for three times a day, meaning anyone can attend. It’s a safe space. Zero judgement, just lots of like minded people of all ages, trying to get their collective exercise groove on. And whether that is starting at the beginning level or trying to get to athlete level, it’s all here. But the best part is that the coaches are professional, extremely knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging and all round awesome people. If you are lucky enough to be able to attend Elite 818, it’s worth every dollar and ounce of sweat.

Fantastic experience: I love going to Elite 818. Conan is fabulous pushes just hard enough to keep us on the right track but most importantly i love everyone telling me how much weight Ive lost and how good I look. Who wouldnt love that. Everyone should join Elite 818 if they want to feel fabulous and look as good as they can.

Fantastic experience: The workouts are fun, the fellow members are inspiring, the workouts are led by very professional trainer - Conan! Who give hands on instant feedback and adjustments during the workouts and just the right amount of encouragement. He will push you hard, but reward is amazing. He also would talk to you about your diet and overall wellness. He cares! The music is blaring and the atmosphere is awesome. It’s a life changing gym experience and I recommend it highly to all my fiends and family.

Fantastic experience: It’s hot & sweaty, it’s fun & gruelling, and Conan is the best physical fitness trainer you could ever get. The gym is always clean, the music great, the workout challenging but it is Conan’s sessions that takes you to another level of fitness & strength. We all feel very fortunate to be in his program, and the results are real. Stronger, leaner & fitter bodies that enhance our overall life style. Love it!

Fantastic experience: I worked out with Elite 818 for about 3 months, it not only helped me loose fat and gain muscle but Conan and Saalia gave me all the tools I needed to continue my fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: I'm here from SA and was looking for somewhere to workout. Elite 818 welcomed me with open arms. Their crossfitesque style workouts were perfect to maintain my fitness regime while on holidays. They have everything you need - rig, bars and plates, boxes, echo bike, ropes, and a friendly space to house it all. My only issue was initially finding them but if you pull in at the bottle shop they sit just behind it within the shell car park. Highly recommend a visit.

Fantastic experience: We (wife, daughter and brother) visited Elite 818 while on a fitcation AKA holidays in July 2020. As we are a fit and active family we looked around the area for a gym. We google searched for gyms in the area and came across ELITE 818. The gym is awesome and has great equipment. This gym is also very big with plenty of space for all types of workouts. Very modern and state of the art, also very clean too. Conan is an excellent coach, he gave us exclusive access to the gym. He took his time to get to know us and our fitness ability. He takes you through the plan for the session in order to get you ready and warm for the workouts. He gets you through the tough workouts with his encouragement and positive can do attitude. He has a great eye for detail, correcting form when needed. Although we have been doing CrossFit for three and half years we still learned so much from Conan. We have taken this on board and now include it in our regular training. Elite 818 caters for all types of fitness levels and ages. My daughter (11 years old), who enjoys working out with us, was also catered for. The sessions were adjusted accordingly and she was able to comfortably join in the same session with her own unique set of movements and weights. If I lived in paradise (Port Douglas) this would be my second home. I highly recommend and suggest if you are thinking of getting in the best shape of your life and have fun at the same time, hit up Conan and go in there for a session. You won’t regret it. Can’t wait to get back to Port Douglas for another FITCATION and join Conan at Elite 818.

Fantastic experience: We were hooked from the first time we trained with Conan. His way of coaching far exceeds qualified personal trainer, he goes above & beyond to inspire, nurture, personally cater, push & motivate each individual to their max potential not only in the gym physically but also mentally. Conan is not only a coach in the gym, but also life coach with a wealth of knowledge & guidance. Elite 818's facilities are impeccable. Abundant equipment & always kept clean & hygienic. Always so grateful for the hard work put in which inspires me to give hard work back. Thank you Elite 818

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Elite818 for a few months and I feel like I have gone up another level physically, mentally and emotionally. The training is fantastic. The communication is awesome and I always leave feeling like I'm thriving. I highly recommend Elite818 if you want to level UP

Fantastic experience: amazing place to be to get urself all pumped and healthy thanx coach.

Fantastic experience: At 48 yrs old I never thought I'd be a gym freak but it's because Elite818 is way more than a gym. Conan & Saalia have created something where people welcome, guide & support each other & have a whole lot of fun in doing so. My huge weight loss is, of course significant, but more importantly, my whole change in focus is thanks to attending Elite. I have learned so much about fitness, nutrition & myself and have never looked back since joining. None of my friends can believe I get up at 5am to go to the gym because I actually want to!! To be honest, neither can I

Fantastic experience: Joining Elite has been a life changeing experience! So much more than just a normal gym or gym classes. The level of support and guidance far exceeds expectations! Highly recommend Elite 818... I’m hooked!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Elite for anyone wanting to change or better their physical, emotional and mental health! This isn’t just a gym class that you go to loose weight yes you learn to lift heavy weights and you feel fitter, look stronger and better however you also become stronger mentally and emotionally too! It’s how you feel that makes the difference not how you look and there are so many like minded positive people on the journey with you! All the coaches especially Conan and Saalia go above and beyond to help you on your journey and make classes fun (and hard haha) and guide you in the right direction and they give us the most amazing advice not only on what food to eat, exercises or stretches to do but also on every day life! Elite really has challenged me and helped me to feel so much better in so many ways! I can not thank you guys enough for what you have done for me you rock xxx

Fantastic experience: I have been struggling for the last 3 years, feeling alone & helpless, in need of a helping hand to get back on track with my life. 3 weeks ago I came across Elite 818 reviews on google & decided to contact them & push myself out of my comfort zone & my fears. It’s only been 3 weeks but there is already a big shift, not just physically but also mentally, all thanks to Conan & Saalia’s amazing coaching & also Elite 818 group who all have been very welcoming, supportive, caring, inspiring & motivating. The journey to a healthy body, mind & way of living a fulfilled life has just begun and I am recommending anyone out there that is struggling with any aspect of their life to take the first step & join the team, as this is much more than just getting fit physically.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed how being part of the Elite Academy pushed me to the next level with my physical wellbeing and mental toughness. I pushed myself beyond my limits and took on a lot of things that have scared me all of my life. I also loved tapping into Conan & Saalia’s knowledge to help myself and my clients.

Fantastic experience: You going to thank yourself many times! Do it! #BästInvestmenInYourself;)

Fantastic experience: Accountability - I never realised how important this is, the support I receive from elite is the best! Even when I struggle and kick back against the beneficial changes - the unrelenting support and accountability keeps me going to achieving MY own goals, and my peace and harmony within. I’m going from strength to strength, not just physically - but also emotionally and mentally. I have never felt this kind of resilience and commitment to my life before - believing in myself and seeing the transformation taking place - because I have the best support crew so much gratitude for believing in me Elite! xox

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend joining the crew at Elite 818 if you want to make positive changes in your life. They’re a great team, super supportive and committed to helping you reach your health and fitness goals. And don’t think you need to be a super athlete to walk in the door! The best thing is people at all levels are pursuing all sorts of goals at Elite 818. I walked in with my own set of goals and the team were all about how can we best support you? What can I say but thanks guys!!! We’re lucky to have you as part of our community!

Fantastic experience: Just wondering if this is a CrossFit gym? As I’m looking for a place to do 20.3 open workout while on holiday in port douglas

Fantastic experience: Thanks so much for having us today! We are visiting from Adelaide and got our training fix sorted. Enjoyed our session, Conan was so nice and accommodating to our training program. Will recommend to anyone in the area.

Fantastic experience: Incredible people , supportive environment, impressive gym - a professional outfit all round . One of the best things I have ever done !

Fantastic experience: The team at Elite are an extraordinary group of people who genuinely have the holistic health and wellbeing of their clients at the core of their program. People come to train here for a number of reasons, all personal and all very different. Whilst I didn’t start this for weight loss or muscle building or nutritional guidance (I’m pretty comfortable with where I already sit on those topics), I came for an emotional and mental circuit breaker... and got exactly what I needed. The team mentality and support from not only the trainers but also all other members is second to none. Highly recommend giving it a red hot go.

Fantastic experience: Awesome workouts, supportive staff!

Fantastic experience: I was on holidays and i joined in on the group classes for the week. I must admit i was a little nervous showing up but everyone was so warm and inviting. Conan , Abs and Katie are great. Thanks for pushing me to the next level in each class. I cant wait to head back to for more session thank you so much

Fantastic experience: I trained with Conan in the lead up to the Spartan race in 2018. While my training was previously haphazard and undisciplined, Conan inspired me to approach training and nutrition in a much more disciplined way, and I feel much better for it.

Fantastic experience: Conan offers much more than simply personal training. I consider him a life coach, mentor and a fantastic person who inspires me to be the best I can be, and then take things to the next level. Before I started training with Conan at 818 I felt tired and lethargic a lot of the time. I now feel like I have so much energy and have learnt to push myself every session. My results have been longer periods of focus throughout the day, greater nutrition, toned upper body and stronger core. I’ve never felt like I haven’t been developing mentally and physically when I’m at the gym. Regular Spartan races alongside Conan also give me longer term goals and keep me accountable throughout the year. It’s been just under 3 years since I began and I am so chuffed with the person Conan has helped me to become. Looking forward to a ripping 2019!

Fantastic experience: I joined Conan back in May 2018 to help me train up for the Spartan obstacle course in Bright. Before training with Conan, I couldnt even do a pushup or sit-up without struggling. Through progressively training with Conan, I started to build up muscle and strength and could do exercises that I thought I could never do previously. He is a great motivator and let's you go at your own pace and limit. He also has some great tunes too! Thanks Conan for helping us train for Spartan.
