I've been a member since August 2024 and joining MCI has been an amazing experience. It's close to my work, which makes it easy to pop in for a workout on my lunch break. The gym is incredibly inclusive and everything can be scaled, so it works for all fitness levels. The community is friendly and welcoming, which makes showing up easy. All the coaches are amazing, big shout out to the 1200 coaches Linda, Lorna and Lyndsay, they are truly amazing. They take the time to help you improve and really make you feel supported. I also love that there are no mirrors — I've always hated watching myself work out. Everyone is too busy with their own workout so no one is watching you and it creates a really relaxed, non-judgemental environment. I'm also doing my first CrossFit Open in 2026, which has been a great experience and definitely pushes you out of your comfort zone. Up the Friday Night Lights 🤩 If you're thinking about trying CrossFit, joining MCI is one of the best decisions you will make — supportive coaches and workouts that challenge you in the best way.

I've been a member of CrossFit MCI for seven months now and would be lost without it. All the coaches have been great and I have learnt so much from each of them. Jacqui and Gary create a warm and competitive atmosphere for all ages and abilities. It's not just a gym but a sense of family community. Don't be afraid to come down and try it out as it will be the best decision you make. Team MCI 🎉🎉🎉

I have been a member of crossfit mci for 3 years. I love it, it's a great place with great coaches. It's welcoming for all levels and it is one of the best decisions I have ever made !

I returned to CrossFit after a 5-year gap of eating, more eating, drinking, and mostly just moving between desk and couch. I had also just moved country. MCI took me in and I immediately felt encouraged and supported by the community. The coaching is superb and programming is entirely scalable while also being appropriately challenging. I've never looked at a workout and said 'there's absolutely nothing I can do here.' I've made great gains since returning. After 12 months I am back to my fighting weight and can do a bunch of burpees without feeling like crawling under a rock, all thanks to the coaching and community. Highly recommended!

I have been a member of MCI for just over two years and now they're my second home and like family. The coaches are so friendly and welcoming. I was nervous when I first started as it all looks so daunting but they accommodate all levels, there's something for everyone. Whether you're just starting your fitness journey and want to move more, feel strong and make new friends, or if you're a keen gym goer and want to push yourself to new PB's and skills! MCI is the place. Come join the fun, you won't regret it x

I joined MCI in 2019 after years at various gyms. From the first session I knew it was the right move. Whether you want to be challenged competitively, work on skills or just fancy the idea of moving in a class setting then this place is for you. The coaches are all very knowledgeable and approachable making you feel right at home while remaining safe. I've made many good friends from this box and even married one. While I can't guarantee your luck with this, I can assure you will love it. 😊

CrossFit MCI is so much more than just a gym – it's a true community. From the very beginning, Jacqui and Gary have been incredibly welcoming and friendly, creating an atmosphere that feels warm, supportive and inclusive. Every single trainer is knowledgeable, encouraging and approachable, no matter your ability level. The environment they've built is positive and motivating, and you can really feel how much they care about every person who walks through the doors. Through the social events and competitions, I've seen first- hand how strong the community is. Myself, my husband and our two daughters have been made to feel like part of the family, and I've made friends for life through MCI. If you're looking for a gym where you're supported, valued and genuinely welcomed, CrossFit MCI is a very special place. Highly recommend!
