Although I'm really happy with my own workout schedule (which I have to say is significantly cheaper than this), I can see how this would be great for many people on a physical and personal level. Thanks for the review, girls, and good luck with the competitions :) I had no idea such places existed.

I am not hugely confident with my body or how i look when i work out etc but ive got to say, going to SXF, you dont feel like you are being looked at or gawked at the whole time. We are all there to do our workouts just like you and you'll notice how everyone will support you through it all. I have made friends with people I would never have imagined being friends with and would not have met otherwise. Walking into the gym, you will find, is like going for a catch up with friends and then doing the wod and then once again catching up with friends. It is the most welcoming environment that I have found myself in. You walk into SXF and you feel like you are surrounded by friends and family, not an intimidating gym environment. If you are last to finish (which i commonly am), you dont have people sitting and staring at you. You have people all around you encouraging you to get through it and the trainers supporting you the whole way. If you are first to finish, you tend sit around and help others get through their workout.. I am not a gym person but since being at SXF, I have fallen in love with Crossfit and working out.. Ive gone from being the person who hates running coz it leaves me short of breath and hates push ups coz I am slow at them, to being the person who wants to challenge myself and get through it to make yet another personal achievement. I never thought I would be able to do a pull up by myself, lift 80kg, run over 1km without stopping or do double unders with a skipping rope, but i have done all of them since training at SXF.. I definately recommend SXF as a place to make friends, get fit and have a lot of fun!!!! Hope to see you down there (maybe even come and have a look on Saturday morning - there is a second level for spectators to have a watch)..!!! Cheers, Robyn :) Hi Annette and Lisa

It can seem quite intimidating at first but as I soon found out I had nothing to feel intimidated about. Before I started I considered myself an extremely shy and timid type of person and found it hard to make that initial decision to try a sport out but I have found that since making that decision to try it out that I have gained confidence and that I push myself more and more to take on new challenges. I've never come across such a comfortable working out environment in my life. I really look forward to going to the gym after work as its not just for the workout but to hang out with a group of really great people. I had really stuggled to find a sport that I liked, felt comfortable with and one that I was getting what I needed out of it. Every time I leave SXF I leave on a high. As and added bonus I have also lost 15kg and become much more toned which was what my initial goal was, but I soon discovered that that part of it is just a bonus and I now focus on increasing my strength and abilities.

We know that some people may find this intimidating and unsure if it is for them. If you are unsure and don't want to give it a shot with a group you can book in for a free 1 on 1 intro session with one of the trainers. (http://www.southernxfit.com/free-intro-session/). Cheers again guys. Hi Guys,

I'm nowhere near fit though and only do yoga! I also don't like raising my heart rate heaps or feeling out of breath. If you only want to do the easy workouts to start with are they happy to let you do that or will they push you even if you are not sure about it? It just looks so full on and I don't think I could even run 100 m before being out of breath!! Annette Imogen you almost make me want to start going… I’m nowhere near fit though and only do yoga!
