Join us in celebrating the successes and inspiring journeys of our members as they share their experiences of strength, perseverance, and achievement.

Being part of the Gym Cartel community has been a game-changer. Working out alongside others brings a sense of friendly competition, shared struggles, and a wealth of learning. It's not just about hitting personal bests; it's about celebrating each other's victories, motivating one another, and building genuine friendships. Trust me, looking forward to those post-workout chats can make all the difference.

In a city as bustling as Brisbane, finding the right gym is essential. Gym Cartel has been my fitness haven, and if you're a busy professional between 35 and 55 looking to get fitter without the sales pitch, give it a shot. You might just find your fitness journey transformed, just like mine. Until then, keep those workouts fun, goals attainable, and remember – it's not a race; it's a lifelong journey.

When I signed up to Cartel I was really nervous about what to expect and walking into a gym for the first time can be really daunting, but to my surprise, I was warmly welcomed with open arms and friendly faces.

As a newbie, I was guided in every class on how to do movements and supported when I wanted to try new movements or lift heavier. The workouts are hard but the results are so rewarding! I have tried a combination of other gyms and styles of workouts and have found CrossFit to be the best combination of weight lifting and cardio.

As a long-standing member of Gym Cartel, I have not only gotten stronger and fitter, but I have also found a wonderful community who have supported me through my challenges in the gym and outside of the gym. The coaches are wonderful and professional people and I am so grateful to be part of this gym. I would recommend this to anyone who is considering trying CrossFit to give it a go!

As a regular at Gym Cartel, I can confidently say that my experience here has been nothing short of transformative. One of the most remarkable aspects of this gym is how it breaks down the barriers of age, allowing individuals like myself to train without feeling limited or out of place. The inclusive and welcoming community vibe here is a real game-changer. It's not just a place to work out; it's a community where everyone, regardless of age or fitness level, is encouraged and supported.

What I particularly love about Gym Cartel is the emphasis on personal growth and achievement. With the guidance of highly skilled and supportive coaches, I've been able to consistently lift heavier weights and regularly hit new personal bests. This progress is a clear testament to the quality of coaching and the effective training programs offered here.

The coaches at both gyms are exceptional. They possess a deep understanding of fitness and strength training, and their approach is both professional and personalised. They have helped me to not only improve my physical strength but also my confidence and belief in my abilities. Their encouragement and expertise have been pivotal in my fitness journey.

Additionally, the sense of camaraderie and mutual support among members is truly heartening. It’s inspiring to be part of a community that celebrates each other's successes and provides motivation and encouragement on those tougher days.

In summary, Gym Cartel is more than just a gym; it's a nurturing environment where age is not a barrier, but rather a number. It’s a place that fosters growth, community, and personal achievements, all thanks to its exceptional coaches and welcoming atmosphere which has contributed to its longevity. I am grateful to be a part of this wonderful fitness community.

The most significant transformation I've experienced at Gym Cartel is internal and revolutionized my approach to tackling challenges in all areas of life. Through challenging workouts and dedicated training, l've not only become stronger and more fit physically, but my mental fortitude has improved significantly. The coaches and members here don't just focus on building muscle; they nurture a mindset of resilience, determination, and self-belief. Each workout is an opportunity to push past limits, overcome obstacles, and emerge as the best version of myself. The workouts have instilled in me the invaluable skill of strategic planning and the power of persistence. Every session is a lesson in the art of 'chipping way'. Whether it's breaking down a workout into manageable sets or setting realistic goals and working steadily towards them, l've learned that progress is made not through giant leaps but through consistent, focused effort. This principle translates into my daily life, whether it's tackling a work project of pursuing personal goals. The supportive environment at Gym Cartel has cultivated this mindset and has taught me the importance of surrounding yourself with a positive, uplifting community.

Health is my priority and Gym Cartel is my choice. In search of a healthy groove over the years, I’ve tried a range of sports, gyms, diets, doctors, drugs, and psychologists but nothing has ever been so effective at holistically managing and improving my health than CrossFit. The sheer breadth of functional movements and modalities challenges and improves every aspect of your physicality and longevity. The simple approach to nutrition supports fuelling and supporting rather than restricting or bingeing. And the mental challenge of a tough workout combined with the support of some incredible humans drives a whole new level of mental fortitude and capacity.Since I started CrossFit in 2017, I’ve been a member and visited over a dozen boxes. When I moved to Brisbane, I knew the second I walked into Gym Cartel that Simon and the team espouse all the brilliance of the CrossFit methodology and strengthen it with their attitude and culture.I am a proud member of the Gym Cartel and CrossFit Desire community and am inspired every day by the diversity, tenacity and capability of every single one of our members inside and outside the gym. Come join us!
