CrossFit NQ Testimonials
Crossfit has made a profound impact on my life in a few short months, improving my mobility, agility and fitness. Moments that will stay with me for a long time to come are:
Before
Touching my toes (in fact seeing my toes!)
Running!
dropping under 100kg
dropping under 95kg
actually thinking I can reach 90kg
My friends are happy for me, and I am often asked for a “secret”. There is no secret, you just have to make the decision and mean it.
I am overwhelmed by the friendliness of everyone involved – check your ego at the door! Even those with amazingly fit bodies are so supportive as I struggle along beside them.
Having profound back problems, it is hugely reassuring to have each exercise explained and demonstrated, and to start at low intensity, building at my own pace. Equally, it gives me confidence that the minute I look unsteady (or get a bit “macho”) there is someone with me to make the call and slow me down.
After
It is a great credit to the program that although starting very overweight and grossly unfit (and carrying knee and back injuries) I have never sustained an injury with Crossfitnq. In fact as a result of losing weight (over 20kg in three months) and increased core fitness and abdominal strength, I am almost off pain medication despite a much more active lifestyle.
If you want something for all those people out there that haven’t given Crossfit a go, you can quote me – “If you live in Townsville and haven’t tried Crossfit then start tomorrow, if you don’t live in Townsville . . . MOVE!!”

Before
Crossfit is the only way to achieve cardio and strength fitness all in one.
It is never boring as the workouts are varied and cater to all abilities. I started crossfit to help me lose weight and tone up and now, after losing over 50kg, I am hooked.
I love what crossfit does for me and I would recommend it to anyone.

When my personal trainer left town in July 2007, I thought: who could train me and where could I train?
I’d been using an intensive excercise programe to correct a debilitating metabolism
imbalance(hyperthyroidism) on the recomendation of my doctor for 15months with great success.
(I’m now convinced excercise really does fix everything)
One day at Kickstart I saw this CHICK doing pullups and thought : Wow. I want to be able to do them too. That CHICK was Fiona and it was July 2007. As I continued to regain my health and fitness so too did my interest in Crossfit grow.
It is never boring, always challenging a great social mix of fun, group support and competition. There are still so many skills to master I can see myself crossfitting for the rest of my life! I wonder if there will be crossfit wods each morning in the retirement village….

I started training with CrossFit NQ in April 2008 and have been attending their classes ever since. It is easily the most effective fitness program I have come across.
Just one of my personal examples: I’ve had numerous shoulder injuries for years, and couldn’t do anything that required my arm to be lifted over my head. Since joining CrossFit not only have my shoulders strengthened… but I can do more with them then I could before they were injured.
The best thing about CrossFit NQ is definitely the group dynamics. I find it very difficult to make time for regular exercise. But when you have a group you are committed to, not only is it easy to turn up… but they help push you to improve so much more quickly than if I was working out on my own.
CrossFit is head and shoulders above any other exercise programs I have tried, and I recommend it to anybody.

Congrats for 3yrs of having your own Crossfit affiliate Fiona. I’m glad that I discovered it. It’s always engaging and a top work out always on every attendance. And all the other people training along side makes it a lot more fun too.
