I've been there for the first open workout 25.1 while I was travelling in Wellington and it was really good, such a warm welcome from the team, good vibes, nice community as always in CrossFit, the owner Luke Fiso, is a really kind guy, I loved my quick time there, I definitely recommend if you are travelling in Wellington.

The community spirit is like no other that I’ve experienced at other gyms, members are welcoming, it’s an inclusive gym, encouraging and supporting each other no matter the level you are at and most importantly having fun. The coaches are friendly, approachable, skilled athletes supporting and encouraging us in the gym to strive for our personal best and achieve our individual goals. Each week one of the coaches will post bright spots of the week to celebrate members, it brings a smile to everyone and is the best read each week. Thank you and we appreciate you! I love going to the gym each day to see my friends.

I am happier making the trip into the city for the great environment and coaching that comes with "instinct". The crew are friendly and supportive no matter your skill level and you're always greeted with a smiling face. Laughter and community in each class. I'd recommend this place to everyone if they get the chance.
