Functional Human Movement


CrossFit is a foundational Core Strength and Conditioning program that seeks to elicit as broad as adaptation response as possible utilising training formats derived from Gymnastics, Olympic Weightlifting, Sprinting and Combat disciplines.

The CrossFit Aphesis focus is on the instruction of  correct technique through full range of motion in Functional Human Movement protocols. This produces what we believe to be a fitness level that is highly transferable to all athletic pursuits as well as daily functional physical tasks.

Our Program delivers a fitness that is by design, broad, general and inclusive. Our specialty is not specialising. Combat, survival, many sports and life itself reward this kind of fitness and on average, punish the specialist.
