Orange Coast CrossFit (OCCF) Brutal Republic – Costa Mesa, USA

Orange Coast CrossFit was established in 2009, and they are the home of Brutal Workouts! They pride themselves on having the best community in the business, and housing all walks of life - the average Joe who just wants to get in shape, the everyday soccer mom, college athletes, and top level athletes. When you walk into Orange Coast CrossFit aka Brutal Republic, you can't help but feel that everyone there means serious business, and they're here to werk werk werk. Some people might even find it intimidating when walking in for the first time, but don't be scared off by all the muscles and intensity, give it a chance, and in no time at all you too will be ready to rock into the box and switch on that BEAST MODE. We we're in Huntington Beach for a short period of time so we wanted to check out a local box. We got a great deal on Groupon 10 x classes = $25. Getting a 10-20 class pass is great for anyone wanting to check out a box before locking yourself in and signing up for any … [Read more...] about Orange Coast CrossFit (OCCF) Brutal Republic – Costa Mesa, USA

Lagniappe Fitness – New Orleans, USA

As soon as you walk in the door of Lagniappe Fitness, you feel right at home. These guys had literally just moved in and opened the doors, yet they received us with open arms and everything felt very organised and professional. What else was awesome was that they were offering a 2 week free trial at the time. Which was perfect for us as we were only in NOLA for a short stint. We really love boxes that offer anything from 1 - 30 day free trials as CrossFit is generally super expensive, especially when traveling. So being offered a free trial gives you the opportunity to still WOD, stay fit, plus you get the chance to meet new people and become a part of the community. It's also super beneficial for newbies (to CrossFit, or people to the area) to feel welcomed, and not feel pressured to make any decisions right away. They can just jump right in, and get a real good feel for the gym before signing up for any long-term commitments. We believe giving away a free trial makes for a … [Read more...] about Lagniappe Fitness – New Orleans, USA

CrossFit Split – Split, Croatia

We were living in Split for 1 month so of course we were eager to find a box to take some CrossFit classes. We contacted CrossFit Split and Mirko was super welcoming and was kind enough to give us a special deal for 1 weeks worth of classes. It can be a little intimidating when you walk into a gym for the first time and you don't speak the language. However, it's also exciting and a really easy way to meet new people and make new friends. That's the added bonus about CrossFitting when traveling overseas, you're always able to join a box and in no time at all you feel like a part of the community. And being that English is the universal language, their's no excuses and it's always a win win! Mirko's English was perfect, and it was a plus that he writes out each WOD in English, and explains each workout in both Croatian and English. Initially the members came across as a little reserved, but it didn't take us long to strike up conversations and small talk with them. There were always … [Read more...] about CrossFit Split – Split, Croatia

Urban Energy – Gold Coast, Australia

Urban Energy and Shane Dykstra are the reason why we began, and fell head over heals in love with CrossFit. We have Nobbys box and this coach to thank everyday for our strength, fitness, great technique, good health and CrossFit enthusiasm. We still remember the first day we rocked up to the box, no idea what CrossFit was, just an enticing 2 week deal that we couldn't pass up. From that day forward we spent 5-6 days/week for the next 9 months at Nobbys box. We became the fittest and strongest athletes we'd ever been in our lives. Which says alot considering we've both been into sports and fitness all our lives. This was next level schizel! Shane is not only an amazing trainer and athlete (he's been in the industry 17 years), but he's super positive, fun and just an awesome guy to be around. He's that guy you instantly want as your BFF! Nowadays you can find Head Coach Shane at Urban Energy, Currumbin and Urban Surf Fit Gym. Urban Surf Fit & Grom Fit are programs for anyone … [Read more...] about Urban Energy – Gold Coast, Australia

Fit On Lanta – Ko Lanta, Thailand

Ko Lanta is off the west coast of Thailand, between Phi Phi Islands and the mainland. It is actually part of Krabi Province, most of which is on the mainland. Living, working and CrossFitting on Ko Lanta was exactly what we wanted to do for one month. We were super excited there was a box on this 81 km tropical island, and couldn't wait to check it out. Fit On Lanta is the only CrossFit gym on Ko Lanta. It's super easy to locate, on the main road (there's only 1 main road around the entire island) in Long Beach. It's across the road from Funky Monkey (a huge bar) and in the middle of a row of 8 shops. There's two big tires out the front and a large FOL sign. Check out the video below of a day in the life on Ko Lanta, which includes a workout at Fit On Lanta (3:15 - 4:45) A drop in costs 500 baht per person, a 5 class pass is 2000 baht and a 10 class pass is 3000 baht. Cash only. All levels are most welcome and workouts are scaled to meet everyone's level of fitness and CrossFit … [Read more...] about Fit On Lanta – Ko Lanta, Thailand

CrossFit Chiang Mai – Chiang Mai, Thailand

CrossFit Chiang Mai Thailand

CrossFit Chiang Mai, Thailand sounded reputable and a great box to join while living and working in Chiang Mai. The box is exactly that, plus it's super central and easy to get to via any mode of transport. We signed up for a one month unlimited membership. They only have one membership, which makes things easy, fees are due monthly and paid month to month. It's unlimited so you can attend as many times a week as you like. Cost is 2700 baht per person. If you're joining as a couple, family or teacher they offer a discount and the price is 2500 baht per person. If you're an experienced CrossFitter, they offer a drop in rate of 500 Baht or 1 week drop in rate of 1000 Baht. They take cash only. Check out the video below of our warm up and a casual day at Crossfit Chiang Mai. Note: Forgive the strict handstand push-ups.. I know they weren't perfect! CrossFit Chiang Mai was the first CrossFit affiliate to open in Thailand when there were only a handful of CrossFit affiliates … [Read more...] about CrossFit Chiang Mai – Chiang Mai, Thailand
