You Don’t Need To Be Fit To Try CrossFit Living The Dream

CrossFit LTD is a welcoming place for anyone of any fitness level who is interested in improving their fitness. My wife and I were not gym goers before joining here 7 years ago on a new year resolution, but since then we have been steadily getting fitter and stronger. We are regulars at the 5:45 morning session and we mix working out with waking up, a bit of music and some laughter. Scott Lipman and his team of trainers, ensure you will get and stay fit by providing direction in a supportive environment, with enough diversity of activity to keep things interesting and give your body a good workout. Highly recommend you join us.

I’ve been a member of Crossfit Living The Dream Thornleigh since just after it opened six years ago, and there is no doubt that I have become and am becoming fitter, stronger and more flexible, even as I’ve begun to hit my late-50s. The coaching staff, led by Scott Lipman, are professional and are always concerned about my overall wellbeing. They work hard to ensure my form is correct and strong so that the risk of injury is reduced as much as possible. They challenge me to do better, and they do this is a positive, respectful way.

Scott and the team there have also built and nurtured a wonderful and diverse community of members who support each other, cheer each other on and respect one another. I’m proud to be a member of this gym.

LTD has been AMAZING! I started after my first bub when I was really struggling to motivate myself with healthy eating and exercise. As someone who never really liked exercise before CrossFit, I can really say I LOVE it and want to be there multiple times each week. Scott and his team of coaches have been so good! I am motivated to train, to get stronger and be fitter. They’ve helped me while I was pregnant with my second and overcoming complications associated with that, with recovery and getting back into it afterwards, and even with recently completing a mini triathlon. The gym has a great community and it’s an awesome place to train. My body is capable of so much more because of the training, programming and coaching at CrossFit Living the Dream

I came into the gym with the aim of quickly losing weight, I achieved that AND an entire new way of living. A way of living that 100% benefits ME, and most importantly the people in my life….With 4 young kids and a lovely wife, I am full of energy and a super healthy Dad. I am stronger, fitter and most importantly am super aware of what it takes to build a healthy lifestyle. Early on the appeal was the constantly varied workouts and range of technical skills that you learn, however I now cherish the community of CrossFit LTD. With the centre of our community being the super supportive/knowledgeable coaches who help to identify your comfort zones, working with you to gradually push these comfort zones, redefining your capabilities. The coaches, community and challenge of CrossFit has enabled me to be the best possible version of myself.

Crossfit LTD is awesome. The members have made me feel so welcomed from day one and have continued to be so encouraging. Each WOD (workout of the day) are different and I am constantly noticing the improvements in my fitness and strength. All the trainers are amazing and always help to push and motivate while at the same timing putting in the extra time and attention to perfect your technique. I would recommend anyone dropping in for a class as I am sure you will not regret it and be hooked in the moment you walk in.

My husband has encouraged me to try out CrossFit for many years, after doing the local gym circuit and never getting into a great, consistent routine with any of them. I never really entertained the idea of joining CrossFit as my perception of this style of gym was that I had to be already pretty fit and very capable with weight lifting to join (I was far from, on both fronts). I was also a little hesitant about it being very male dominant. After doing a couple of trial sessions, I was pleasantly surprised at how wrong I was on all of my concerns. The coaches, as well as many of the more experienced CF’ers, have been extremely supportive from day 1, always helping improve my technique, push me out of my comfort zone or adjusting workouts to meet my capabilities.
I have met many really lovely friends through the gym, which makes getting up early to do a workout that much easier! It is a really great community to be part of!
I still have a long way to go in reaching some of my goals, but am more settled and excited about my journey at CrossFit LTD, than I have been at any other gym environment I have tried.

My name is Rocco, I joined Crossfit LTD 4 years ago in April 2017. The main reason for me joining was to find a program where I could get healthy and lose weight. I had recently lost my mother to long standing diabetes related issues. I realised I was high risk of becoming diabetic at the age of 42 and I really felt the need to make a life change.

It had been a long time since I had been in a gym and Scotty and the coaches at Crossfit LTD were great at working with me on the introduction and fundamentals, understanding what my goals were and setting me on a path of sustained health transformation and maintenance. Within 4 months of joining I had become a regular attender at the box and with the help of the 30 day health/food challenge and focus on healthy eating, I had lost 20kgs and changed my body tone and physique. Apart from that I had a lot more energy and confidence which transferred into my family and work life too.

Four years on I am still a regular attender and have mostly kept the weight off and feel great. I put this down to the constantly varied workout programming which keeps me interested, being able to scale workouts to my ability (with a couple of age related issues), the constant check-in with the group in the classes, focus on healthy eating, hard work and just feeling good about myself. I can not recommend Crossfit LTD enough if your looking at a sustained healthy life change.
