Flinders University’s crossfit club is open to everyone and has been building a community dedicated to a more active lifestyle since 2013. A 10% discount on full memberships is now available until 20 March.

Hiding in the basement of the Sports Centre, Crossfit Flinders could well be the University’s best-kept secret. A sport for everyone, it has equal participation of females and males and all workouts are adjustable to individual abilities.

One of its key advantages is the variety of exercises encountered every day – every session is different. Members can expect challenges, fun, comradery and intensity through custom workouts that consist of weightlifting, gymnastics and high-intensity training. With guidance and encouragement from experienced coaches, members use equipment such as rowers, kettlebells, barbells, assault bikes, pull-up stations, dumbbells, sleds and more.

Crossfit Flinders claims most members find their experience life-changing, with many new skills developed and ongoing improvement. Members’ improvements are backed by research, such as Claudino and others who found a greater sense of well-being among ‘crossfitters’. While Goins and Smith found that even though workouts are relatively short, significant improvements in fitness and body composition can be made.

Crossfit Flinders is one of the most affordable crossfit boxes in Adelaide, catering to both staff and students.

For the week of March 13 to 20, staff can access full memberships at a 10% discount by using the promo code FIT10%.
