I have been overweight, obese and unfit, from living a very sedentary lifestyle working from behind a desk, and spent weeks debating whether I should even walk into a CrossFit gym.Here in Albury just for 2 weeks, I got out of the car and walked towards the CrossFit Erupt gym with sweat already on my forehead. I was only here for two weeks, and honestly, I was worried I was going to be more of a burden to the coach and the rest of the team than anything else.Fitness has always been quite foreign to me. Coordinating movements while someone is giving you instructions feels so unnatural that, I genuinely felt like I had some sort of disability or dyslexia!But then I walked through the doors.From the very beginning, the welcome made an enormous difference. Al the coach with a friendly handshake, the introduction, and the fact that coach put the gym owner, Jess, on the phone to give me a rundown immediately made me feel at ease.What really stood out to me was the people.The coach was incredibly patient, encouraging and accommodating. Nobody made me feel embarrassed for not knowing what I was doing. Instead, movements were explained repeatedly to help me and support me, demonstrated in a way that made me feel like I actually belonged.The team vibe is something special. Everyone was welcoming, encouraging and genuinely inclusive. I never felt like the new guy. I felt like someone who was simply starting from a different point.That made a huge difference.I came in expecting CrossFit to be intimidating. I left realising that the hardest part was simply getting through the door.If you’re in Albury and wondering whether you’re fit enough, strong enough or experienced enough to walk into CrossFit Erupt, just go in.The team will meet you where you’re at. Also check out their instagram page, plenty of great insights.I’m genuinely grateful for how welcoming and accommodating everyone is. For someone who was extremely hesitant to start, the environment made taking that first step so much easier.Thank you coach Al, owner Jess for accommodating me and the whole team for cheering me on and making me feel welcome on my first day. ☺️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I wasn’t sure whether CrossFit was going to be the right style of training for me, but joining CrossFit Erupt has genuinely been one of the best decisions I’ve made. From the very first time I reached out, Jess and the entire team made me feel welcome. Every movement has been taught safely, with clear, direct coaching and the support I needed to build confidence and improve my technique. I’ve never once felt out of place or intimidated. What I love most is the community. Not only are the coaches incredibly supportive, but so is everyone who trains there. It’s such an encouraging environment where people genuinely want to see each other succeed.The workouts are always varied, so no two sessions feel the same, and everything can be scaled to suit your current fitness level. Whether you’ve never stepped foot in a gym before or you’ve spent years training in a completely different way, there is a place for you here.A special mention to Eden, whose humour, kindness, encouragement and ability to notice even the smallest improvements have made such a positive difference. She has a way of making you feel capable, motivated and like you’re genuinely achieving your goals. Thank you to Jess and the whole CrossFit Erupt team for creating such a supportive and welcoming environment. I only wish I’d found Erupt sooner!

From the moment I started it was a friendly inviting environment. From struggling to attend to now not wanting to miss a class. the coaches help you at your level not just physically but understanding how you can be a better you in life.

Needed a reputable box for the week I was on the border and chose CrossFit Erupt! Owner Jess was prompt with correspondence and accommodating to share workouts for the week ahead. The Erupt community were welcoming from my first session with amazing vibes and thorough coaching! The Erupt setup and equipment would rival most other boxes around the country! Will definitely be returning next time I’m on the border!
