WE’RE MOVING CLOSER TO CROSSFIT.

From Monday, September 7, we’ll officially transition to CrossFit Affiliate Programming…programming created by CrossFit specifically for everyday affiliate classes.

This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while.

After many years as an affiliate owner and particularly after attending the recent CrossFit Oceania Affiliate Summit, I feel more committed than ever to leaning into what makes CrossFit so effective.

Constantly varied functional movement. Strength, conditioning, gymnastics and weightlifting. Classic benchmarks, shared challenges and training that prepares us for whatever life puts in front of us.

This isn’t about criticising the programming we’ve previously followed. We’ve achieved some fantastic results, and we’ll finish our current cycle strongly.

It’s about choosing the direction that best represents who we are and where we want our gyms to go next.

CAP will guide the programming. Our coaches will continue to adapt every session to the people standing in front of them…whether you’re experienced, brand new or somewhere in between.

Same coaches.
Same community.
A renewed commitment to delivering the best hour of your day.

A new chapter begins September 7.

Let’s get after it. 💙

CrossFit isn’t just for the grown-ups. 💪

Our CrossFit Gym Cartel Kids & Teens classes are all about helping young people become stronger, fitter and more confident…while learning how to move well and actually enjoying exercise.

We teach the foundations: squatting, jumping, running, lifting, hanging, throwing and all the other good stuff…coached properly, progressed appropriately and wrapped up in workouts that keep them engaged and having fun.

And one of the best parts? Watching their confidence grow as they realise what they’re capable of. 🙌

Today was another great session with these guys putting in the work, learning new skills and encouraging each other along the way.

If you’ve got a child or teenager who could benefit from getting stronger, moving more and being part of a positive training environment, CrossFit Kids & Teens could be a great fit.

No experience needed. They just need to come along and give it a go.

📍 CrossFit Gym Cartel, Albion
🏋️ Kids & Teens ages 8–17
📅 Tuesdays & Thursdays, 4–5pm

Send us a message if you’d like to get your kid involved. 👊

Somewhere along the way, CrossFit became known as a sport.

The Games.
Leaderboards.
Fitness racing.
Elite athletes.

And while those things are exciting (and a lot of fun), they were never the reason CrossFit was created.

At its core, CrossFit is a methodology designed to improve your ability to do life’s physical tasks…today, next year, and decades from now.

The competition is optional.
The health isn’t.

Whether your goal is to keep up with your kids, stay independent as you age, hike mountains, surf, carry heavy shopping, or simply become a more capable human being, that’s where CrossFit shines.

The sport is a celebration of fitness.

The methodology is what changes lives.

This is the philosophy we believe in at CrossFit Gym Cartel.

What does CrossFit mean to you?

Meet our newest legend! When she walked in, running was her comfort zone, and CrossFit felt like a mountain. After her first onboarding session (where we break down all the fundamentals, step-by-step) she’s already embracing the journey! Seeing her shift from nervous to excited is why we love what we do. Welcome to the family…5 sessions from now, you’ll be unstoppable!

WE’RE HIRING: FULL-TIME CROSSFIT COACH

Gym Cartel & CrossFit Desire are looking for an exceptional coach to join our team.

This isn’t a side hustle. This isn’t a “coach one class a week and get a free membership” role.

We’re looking for someone who wants to make coaching their craft.

Someone who gets excited about helping people achieve things they never thought possible. Someone who understands that coaching is more than counting reps and starting a clock.

What we’re looking for:

✅ CrossFit Level 2 Trainer (or higher)

✅ Available for 20+ coaching hours per week

✅ Strong communication and people skills

✅ Reliable, professional and organised

✅ Passionate about helping everyday people improve their health and fitness

✅ Able to coach everyone from first-timers to competitive athletes

What you’ll get:

✔️ $40-$50 per hour (based on experience)

✔️ A supportive coaching team

✔️ Opportunities for growth and development

✔️ Two thriving Brisbane gyms with an amazing culture

✔️ A community that genuinely cares about each other

A few things about us…

We believe coaching matters.

We believe people deserve more than someone standing in the corner staring at their phone.

We care about movement quality, relationships, accountability, and creating the best hour of our members’ day.

Our members range from people who simply want to live healthier lives through to competitive CrossFit athletes. Every one of them deserves great coaching.

If you’re the sort of coach who remembers names, notices when someone hasn’t been in for a while, celebrates wins, and genuinely wants to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

Interested?

Send us a DM or email [email protected] with:

* Your coaching experience
* Your CrossFit certifications
* A little about yourself and why you’d be a great fit

Please tag anyone who comes to mind.

Variance isn’t about doing everything.
It’s about being prepared for anything.
CrossFit builds General Physical
Capacity through high-transfer movements, so when the unknown shows up... you’re never too far away.
Train smart.
Choose movements that matter.
Get the biggest return.
That’s how we build fitness that actually transfers to life.
