23.01.2022 Throwback to when the Origin crew did the Crossfit Games to watch the amazing Judith Anne Tynan do her thing.

21.01.2022 **MEMBER TESTIMONIAL** - Remmy Campbell First and foremost, thank you guys so much over the last couple of years for being so accommodating to my previous work situation, I really appreciated it. The training you guys provided and the prompt and professional service was second to none and I always had a great time training with everyone. ... The community that you have built, and I'm sure will continue to grow, has been awesome to train with and I hope will flourish in the years to come.

21.01.2022 A big Origin warm welcome Kylie Wilson and Josh Wood to our coaching team.

Kylie is a super fit Mum with a background in PT and group training as well as supplements and nutrition. Josh is in the RAAF with a passion for fitness (he ran a marathon by doing laps of an oval just for fun) and experience in group fitness instructing. Make sure you get in for a session with them soon!

18.01.2022 Our facility, program, coaching and people are world class. But you don't have to be a Games athlete to train at Origin. We are also normal people trying to be better every day. If that sounds like you feel free to give us a holler.

16.01.2022 **FIT MUM TESTIMONIAL** Lauren Hanlon Being a first time Mum and regaining confidence to be fit and active, I was extremely welcomed in the Origin Community and I will be forever grateful. I have been a part of the Crossfit Origin Community since my daughter was 3 months old and it has been one of the best decisions I have made for my mental and physical health. ... After I had my daughter I was so nervous and anxious about going to a gym and feared that I wouldn’t be able to perform any exercise movement as well as all the ‘fit people’. I will never forget my first one-on-one consultation with Kaitlyn and how comfortable she made me feel and the level of knowledge and understanding she had in postpartum women returning to exercise. Kaitlyn immediately filled me with confidence and introduced me to all the easily modified movements which would help redevelop my core strength. She assured me that all the coaches would be informed and able to support me and my individual journey in returning to exercise post baby. All of the coaches have been so understanding and welcoming of myself and my daughter Olive. Returning to the gym when you first have a baby can be daunting as you feel anxious/selfish to leave your baby with other people. However, Olive came to every session with me and I was able to see her, comfort her and feed her if needed. Six months later and I have lost 13kgs and gained so much confidence, strength and lifelong friendships. It has been so rewarding dedicating 1 hour each day to myself and my wellbeing.

15.01.2022 Kind words from Daniel Hubble (far left) about Origin. We miss you 2!! "We came to Origin a little under 3 years ago...we're leaving for work, not for lack of progression in the box. We've seen Origin grow into your new space, we're glad to have been a part of that growth. The community you foster and nurture is amazing, our progression as people and athletes have grown as you have. We have met so many amazing people that we wouldn't have if it were not for your community, ...people that we now consider life long friends. You gave Dani Hubble the confidence to compete, you gave me an environment to do things I didn't think I could...and for that we thank you and we'll miss you."

15.01.2022 Train with good people, enjoy what you're doing and results just follow! They are just a happy side-effect to doing something you actually enjoy. Fiona was a pack a day smoker and now she is fit and fab. If you're inspired by this result then don't hesitate to visit our website and book your free introduction session. Maybe you could be the next success story! www.crossfitorigin.com.au

13.01.2022 We know it can be tough juggling work, life and kids! At Origin we don't think you should have to sacrifice your health and fitness. We are here to help you make it work and that's why we offer facilities including a secure kids area and baby change table if you need to bring the little ones along with you to your session. If you'd rather the hour to yourself, we're here for that too!

13.01.2022 One movement, the "pullup", 3 different options. Ring rows and jumping pullups are great alternatives if you haven't yet achieved pullups. Movements like this take time to build. They require a lot of strength and coordination. There is no need to skip the workout that day and just not having pullups yet is no reason to not start Crossfit either! Set yourself a goal, then work hard and be patient, do the appropriate movement progression and you'll get there.

12.01.2022 With classes available from 5am right through until 7pm there is no reason you can't make it in at some point during the day to train. ..... All of our Crossfit sessions go for 60 minutes and include a briefing of the workout, a warmup, demonstrations of the movements you'll be doing that day (with options for every level) and of course, a workout! Don't waste time at the gym procrastinating, deciding what exercise to do, waiting for equipment, and then deciding 3 sets is e...nough when you were going to do 5. ...... Oh and we're also child-friendly and have shower facilities. Let us know if we can help you get started. See more

12.01.2022 It is addictive.. crazy as it seems. You work your ass off, the whole time thinking why the hell do I put myself through this. Then turn up the next day .... Seriously, it has changed my life. Just wish I had started 20 years ago. Simply tailored for all ages and body styles - believe me I would have been one of the most unfit men to walk through that door 5 years ago. I started when I was 50.

10.01.2022 Just wanted to share this inspiring post from our girl Dee. Results are not easy. They take time, sacrifice and a lot of hard work. But Dee is a testament to the statement that hard work pays off - in and out of the gym. We are proud of her results! This is why we love what we do. ... "Today I put on a goal shirt.. a size WOMENS SMALL!! And its fits!! First time in 10 years to wear a shirt that size! It didnt fit a month ago or so when I had a sneaky try haha.. this is a pi...cture of me in 2017 when I was at my heaviest, I refused pictures so this was me in the corner of another picture I didn't know was being taken.. Im so happy and proud of the last few months of work! And it wasn't any fancy diet or pills, just a calorie deficit and working out 4 times a week. Thats it. Nothing else. I still eat chocolate and icecream, I still have burgers.. I still eat chips. but yes I still run and I still lift weights.. CrossFit Origin i finally fit that shirt!" See more

10.01.2022 HO HO HO... Christmas is near. Please see our operating hours for the next couple of weeks over the silly season.

08.01.2022 MEMBER TESTIMONIAL from Dee Curry ....................... If someone had told me 3 years ago I would be doing Crossfit 4-5 times a week, without fail, I would have laughed. But I have found working out gives me a break from having to fight mental illness constantly. When I came to Crossfit Origin, I was terrified, starting a new gym, even though I had done some basic Crossfit before. I was anxiety ridden and probably wouldn't have done it without dragging a friend along with ...me. I have been here 9 months now and couldn't imagine being at another gym. The people here just support one another. They cheer each other on in the gym but also in our lives outside of the gym. Even sending messages of support when no-one else is looking. I tend to hide my illness behind my loud voice and joking demeanor, always trying to make people laugh and feel good, (and that's a hard job!) so it's nice to have people check up on me sometimes! Exercise can really help people who struggle day to day and can even help people recover fully with their mental struggles. I know I feel best when I have been eating well and working out and hitting my goals! The community also makes you feel like you CAN do things and that you WILL do things which can really be helpful. Coronavirus has hit this country hard especially anyone with mental illness and being in quarantine. When I heard the gyms were being closed, I won't lie, I cried. I felt lost, I wouldn't have a connection to those amazing people each day. I wouldn't be able to push mental barriers each day.. I was devastated. But, even though they had a baby imminent, Sean and Kaitlyn rallied and they got us all connected via Zoom and our social pages and now after 2 weeks, even though I still really really miss the gym, I am ok. I can do this, I will do this and we are in this together! Just remember to check on your friends, even the happy, laughing, smiling ones.. because some of them aren't ok, some will fake it because of the stigma. And sign yourself up for a community like ours! It might just be a lifesaver!

06.01.2022 As coaches and owners we can harp on about this stuff all day long, but coming from a member is a little different. Thanks Dee Curry, so well put. ............... Just want to get on my soapbox again and say how much I just LOVE this gym.. we have so many members who are just amazing and its easy to sometimes fall into the trap of thinking people are better then you and you won't ever be as good as some people (well maybe not Kim Hardinge and Liam Ryan, Candy Lowcock and Sean... Brickwood, but we are only human) but its not true.. Every person in this gym has someone they look up to or who they think is just amazing at getting past obstacles in the gym and in life. We have mums and dads working out on 3 hours sleep, post partum mums and even mums currently pregnant. Still kicking arse! We have girls and guys who just smash every cardio session with ease and it almost seems like they are made for it, some even after working night shift all night. Or we have the people who can just pick up gymnastics movements in a session or two and pump out pullups and bar muscle ups like its nothing.. And we have people who can lift heavy things that others seem struggle to lift. (Body to weight ratio can help here hahah) And let's not forget the people that are too 'old' to start working out or move off the couch.. some of our members show them thats not true at all! Even kicking all of the 'young' peoples arses!! I look up to so many of you every day, and i may talk alot of s*** but I'm proud of you all, and I'm not even a trainer.. so welcome to all of the newbies, you have joined the best gym around.. and remember you are someones hero..

06.01.2022 **MEMBER REPOST** Fiona Wilson "Five years today I gave up the cigarettes, it’s been tough at times cravings, weight gain. To date I have saved $33,800."

05.01.2022 Fiona's story gives me absolute chills! As she has discovered - you are never too old or too unfit to do Crossfit. We are so proud of how far Fiona has come on her fitness journey, from a pack a day smoker to a regular gym-goer who runs and lifts and is not too old to do things like handstands and burpees. If you're inspired by Fiona's story then come join us. We hold free introduction classes every Monday night at 7pm and Tuesday morning at 7am. Visit our website to book your spot.

05.01.2022 How is this for progress? Jimbo has managed to turn body fat into lean muscle mass over the past few years at Origin. His awesome attitude and work ethic mean that he gets the job done without ever complaining. We could all take a leaf out of his book. Good on you Jimbo. A true Origin legend.

03.01.2022 Official! The Open is back in February/March and plans on being the biggest yet.
