MISSION
At CrossFit Brendale, our mission is to create an environment that is both inclusive and welcoming for all who choose to join us. Located on the vibrant north side of Brisbane, we pride ourselves on providing premium coaching services, making high-quality fitness accessible to all, regardless of skill level or experience. Our 'Fitness for All' mantra is not just a catchy slogan but a commitment we uphold all year round. We are passionate about helping our members to not only become stronger and faster but also to be smarter in their training. We believe that with the right guidance and support, everyone has the potential to exceed their fitness goals and to adopt a healthier, more active lifestyle.
VISION
CrossFit Brendale aspires to establish itself as a shining beacon of health and fitness in Northern Brisbane. We are committed to cultivating a vibrant, inclusive community where individuals, regardless of their present fitness levels, are empowered to attain their personal best. We envision a future where every member feels inspired to pursue their unique fitness goals, whether they encompass strength, speed, or agility. We envisage celebrating and recognising the dedication of our members to a healthier lifestyle and their intelligent approach to training. We aim to foster an environment that values each individual's fitness journey as much as the outcomes. Ultimately, our vision is to create a space where the journey towards health and fitness is as significant and rewarding as the destination itself.
CORE VALUES
Safety First
For optimised results it starts with mechanics, consistency then intensity. This is the single most important guide for how to implement and apply CrossFit’s constantly varied functional movements executed at high intensity in service of increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains. It’s essential for optimising the safety, efficacy, and efficiency of the program
Everyone is Welcome
At CrossFit Brendale, we prioritise people above all. Since our doors opened in 2013, we've strived to ensure everyone feels welcomed and valued. We diligently work to foster an environment where everyone feels heard, supported, and cared for without any judgment.
Dedication and Humility in Fitness
In a world where numbers often define success, we encourage our members to work hard yet remain humble. Effort is the true driver of results, not just the scores. We promote integrity in fitness, celebrating the hard work and dedication that each member puts into their training.
Foster Respect and Community
We are more than just a gym; we are a community. Central to our ethos is respect - for oneself, for the coaches, for the gym and equipment, and for each other. We uplift each other, promoting honesty and care, pushing everyone to become the best versions of themselves.
Holistic Care
While physical health is a key aspect of what we do, we also acknowledge that our members are more than their physical strength. We are committed to the holistic wellbeing of our members, ensuring we support not only their physical health but also their mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.
Strive to Improve Every Day
Hard work and consistency are the cornerstones of success in fitness, and we apply these principles to our business approach. By investing in our coaches and staff through continuous education and collaboration, we can assure a high-quality service that exceeds expectations. Every day, we strive to be better, from the gym owner to our newest member.
Be Coachable
We leave our egos at the door. Having a growth mindset and being open to feedback and guidance from coaches allows us to learn how to improve our daily movement inside and outside the gym, and we are open to learning and trying new things. We are approachable, respectable and willing to put in the effort to improve ourselves.
COMMANDMENTS
INTRODUCE YOURSELF. The thing we love about our gym is that it’s our family. If you’re new, introduce yourself to others. If you’re a veteran, introduce yourself to the newbies.
BE EARLY – CLASS STARTS ON TIME. It's better to be 10 minutes early than 1 minute late. If you're late to class, don't worry. Simply excuse your tardiness to the coach and catch up.
INFORM THE COACH. About your injuries, when you have to leave a class, or when other important things are happening. If you’re uncomfortable discussing these issues openly, please speak with your private coach before signing up for a class.
RESPECT THE EQUIPMENT. Always lower weights with control, never kick or throw around equipment and always follow the coach’s instructions on how to properly use equipment.
CLEAN UP YOUR STUFF. Brush your chalk off the barbell, clean up your sweat, put the jump rope back where you found it, and wipe your blood, sweat and tears off whatever you use.
BAG YOUR DEVICES. You can stare at a screen all day long, but not during class. Leave your phone, tablet, and other devices in your bag until the class is over.
WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER. The workout isn’t over until the last person is done. Cheer on your fellow members before you clean up.
RESPECT THE COACH. During class, the coach is boss. Have an issue? Take it up with the coach outside class time. We’re open to feedback!
LEAVE YOUR DRAMA AT THE DOOR At the box, we’re all athletes. Don’t bring drama inside, just lift and run!
LEAVE YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR. Somewhere out there a high school kid is warming up with your PR.
CrossFit Brendale is committed to embodying these values/commandments as we pursue our mission and work towards our vision. We are ready to go the extra step, are you ready to join us?
