Brunswick East CrossFit

!! Warning: This is a red pill review. You might get addicted to Crossfit after being exposed to the B.East crew. !!

Claire, Casey, Shiv and Michael are amazing coaches. They are energetic, experienced, fun and friendly (not over the top) athletes who are very passionate about the sport and genuinely interested in seeing even couch potatoes like myself succeed. They are very attentive to the form, encouraging our progress and helping to build confidence. The cool thing about Crossfit is you never get bored of the routine because workouts are different every single day. The facility is extremely clean with a great workout atmosphere and community spirit. I felt welcome not only by the staff but by every single member. The energy is very contagious and is an endless source of motivation.

Coupled with the punctiliously crafted playlist for every phase of the workout it hardly feels like "work" at all. From my previous experience I thought it would take me months to get in shape, but with this team of sorcerers, I felt the changes within 10 days from starting.

I never thought I'd actually enjoy exercise but since joining Brunswick East CrossFit, I do! Claire and the coaches have established such a wonderful environment where I (and everyone else) feel safe and supported while having a lot of fun! Exercising isn't so terrifying anymore and I look forward to every session. I couldn't recommend Brunswick East CrossFit more, especially to those who may feel intimidated by gyms or the like (as I once was), it really is the perfect place start getting fitter, stronger and healthier!

Every time you show up it is a fun exciting and you get the heart rate up!! If you put your trust in the coaches, they will help you achieve all your fitness and strength goals!!

After 2.5 years of training at another CrossFit box, I was worried that I'd not find another box with the same quality community and coaching. After 4 months at Brunswick East CrossFit, I can safely say I shouldn't have worried at all.

The coaching and facilities are top-notch, catering to beginner CrossFitters through to advanced weightlifters/gymnasts without leaving anybody behind.

Every morning I can't wait to get in to class and find out what the workout is. What's tomorrow's WOD Coach?

I have been at Brunswick East Crossfit for 15 months now. I have seen a huge improvement in my fitness and especially in my strength. Not only am I lifting weights I never believed I could, my strength has helped me in many aspects of my general life that I didn't realize before. The coaches are not just extremely supportive and a wealth of knowledge, they are friendly and always welcoming. The real positive of the box is the true community feel that everyone helps to develop, you will never feel alone or left behind at Brunswick east Crossfit

I have never felt so welcomed in any gym like I have at Brunswick East Crossfit. All the trainers are lovely and give guidance on the correct techniques of crossfit. I had no idea what Crossfit was before walking past one day and I am a converted fan!

With zero crossfit experience i started training here about a year ago and have been hooked ever since. Great facilities with fun, responsible, and engaging coaches. Would rate theses guys 10 stars if i could!

I had no idea what Crossfit was when I started but even since my free taster I have loved every class. The coaches are very supportive and for once in my life I am enjoying working on my weakness which I use to avoid! Claire has created a great atmosphere at the box which gives you the confidence to give it a go.

Fitness is all about commitment but with all the other commitments we have going on, our fitness in the past has usually been the first thing to suffer. With upcoming 30th's and nuptials we put pressure on ourselves to reach our optimal fitness. But after training at BEastX we have learned how to train for sustainable fitness in the long term. Checking in at the box every morning helps us to evaluate our daily priorities and starts our working day off right. We thought Crossfit would be too competitive for us but Claire and the team at the box are not only friendly and welcoming, they provide an incredibly supportive environment.

In the past i have done bootcamps, gym and PT sessions. What can i say Crossfit is kind of all of them in one place. Crossfit is for all fitness levels and Claire and her team even cater for the injured. I have been able to train with an ongoing shoulder injury as coaches will personalise the session for you. I highly recommend BECF to anyone, any age, any fitness level.

At first I was worried, but after meeting Claire and Ian and seeing how much they help you progress and grow I now love the box (gym) to the point of trying to attend as many classes as possible in a week. The best part is that you're part of an awesome community who is there along with you supporting you, pushing you and feeling the pain as you strive to finish the workout of the day. I still remember my first class when another member edged me on to finish and not give up. So go on and give it a shot because you will feel awesome and achieve things you never thought possible!

I've trained in a lot of gyms over the years but it was impressive from day one how professional and supportive the trainers are, how friendly a training environment it is. A very inclusive and motivational atmosphere. The instruction is fantastic which means great results without the injuries. Highly recommend it to anyone.

Approximate cost: $99.00

Crossfit has the reputation to easily cause injuries. When doing the exercises with heavy weights while your technique is not up to par that will definitely be the case.
And this is where this Crossfit gym excels. The major focus of the coaches is not to push you to extreme weights but to make sure you are doing your exercises correctly and that you protect your body from injury. That means that they will tell you to decrease weight even though you might feel like you can lift it. Trust me, they know better. That want to make sure you'll be able to lift that weight next time too, and the next time and ...
It's a place where I feel safe to explore where my limits lie because I know they have my back, sometimes literally :)
On top of that there is a feel of community. This is a place where everyone cheers on everyone, where you feel supported in your efforts, even if you're just starting to get into exercise. And the coaches play a facilitating role in that too.
Leave your ego at the door, give your trust to the coaches because they do know best and are their to help you progress and enjoy the fun of working out together.
It's been a great experience. Just simply love the place.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I joined. What I have found is enthusiasm, support, fun and fitness. Great team, with Claire an inspiration.

I currently can't laugh without some part of me hurting. Thank you, Claire. In spite of this I keep going and keep enjoying it. Everyone there is friendly and supportive. I'd recommend it to anyone!

very reasonable price for small class size, personal service. great motivation, good value, quick results and better overall fitness.

Approximate cost: $16.30

Look, I won't say I enjoy every single minute of being here, but you're not supposed to. I do, however, love training with Claire and the B East Crossfit crew. Was completely bored with the 'traditional' gym and was looking for something a bit different. After the initial taster session I was hooked and have been training here for about four months. The best aspects: the personal challenges, the way Claire and the other trainers explain everything and keep a close watch to make sure no one is going to hurt themselves, the increase in my own strength, the support from other Xfitters. The worst bit: the workouts are often hard (but they're also scaled so anyone can do them, including me and I was far from fit when I started).

Approximate cost: $14 a class

I am a circus performer that was looking for more fitness outside of my circus training. I had heard some buzz around Crossfit but did not know anything about it. Brunswick East CrossFit was very close to my house so I enquired. It has been almost 12 weeks and I have never looked back. The CrossFit work out is great for me. It is like having PT group sessions. I don't need to think about what I am going to do each day and I just get on with the work out. In the past when working out at a gym I would find that I need to motivate myself and it was easy to slack off. I have seen great improvements in fat loss, muscle gain and the ability to perform on stage for longer without feeling puffed out and my recovery rate is much quicker.
Brunswick East CrossFIt caters for all levels, ages and abilities. It is an extremely supportive and friendly environment which I believe is attributed to Claire Campbell's attitude and caring nature. She is very personable and builds great relationships with all her members and encourages the members to do so also, thus creating a great sense of community within the CrossFit Box. I would encourage everyone to try our Brunswick East CrossFit…after all summer is almost upon us.

I have just started and I cant wait to get to each session.
People are friendly and is not at all expensive.
As Molly would say, Do yourself a favour!

Brilliant coaches and a really welcoming bunch of people. The coaches have amazing olympic lifting knowledge. Highly recommended!

I can't speak highly enough of Claire and Crossfit. She has helped transform my attitude to exercise and getting fit. Best thing I did was see Claire and get into Crossfit - do yourself a favour and give it a try!

CrossFit under Claire's guidance has been inspirational, I have been able to achieve a level of fitness I thought was unattainable at my age. My strength and flexibility has improved I can now easily carry my 2 year old grandaughter all day without aches or pain. What a change it has made to my life.

I have been going to Brunswick East Crossfit since it opened. I always thought crossfit was not for me, however the head trainer Claire soon changed my mind. She is an excellent coach. She knows what motivates each and everyone of her customers. She has an impeccable way of adapting to each different personality in the gym. I think Claire and her establishment are just awesome! If you are looking for a friendly group of people and a very adaptable coach then this is the place for you. I can't speak highly enough.

I've been coming to brunswick east crossfit for 3 weeks now and I have loved it! It has a great vibe, everyone is so friendly and encouraging and Claire is a great motivator and coach. I'm not the fittest nor strongest, but crossfit has shown me results already, is great fun and this is thanks to the crew at brunswick east :)

I've been at Brunswick east crossfit for just over a month now and I'm loving it! No more boring gym sessions!!! Instead sessions in an energetic environment with workouts that change everyday. What more could you ask for!!!

A friend of mine told me that I should give it a go. Claire listens to my needs and ensure that I have a safe and effective workout. It's great to learn exercises that can be adaptive to someone in a wheelchair. Thanks Claire for being proactive and teaching me awesome techniques of CrossFit

Claire Campbell was my personal fitness trainer for some time, and I can't recommend her more highly. I'm 60+ with a history of injury and consequently dodgy joints. I had found it difficult to maintain fitness and strength because of this. I was so lucky to find Claire - she's taken me to places I didn't think possible, and as a result I'm much stronger and fitter than I thought I could be. She's great with rehab, knows her stuff and really listens to you. She'll work with you, and modify exercise accordingly. Give her new venture a go - you won't regret it.

Brunswick East CrossFit has completely changed my life. I will be honest in saying I didn't know what CrossFit even was to start with. I drove past and contacted Claire. Claire is not only an awesome operator but also the loveliest person and amazing coach. I was hesitant to start however Claire & Ian made me feel so comfortable!! I am so glad I joined and I look forward to going every single time and feel disappointed when I cannot go. The results I have received with Claire in just a few weeks, I have not received with anyone I have trained with or any form of activity I have done. I cannot speak highly enough of this establishment and Claire. Thanks heaps :)
