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 super easy to locate, it's on the main road (there's only 1 main road around the entire island) on 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.

Crossfit Chiang Mai – Chiang Mai, Thailand

If you're joining as a couple, family or teacher they offer a discount and the price is 2500 baht per person.
