Da Fonz, a sports club located in Brisbane, is home to two CrossFit Desire locations: CrossFit Desire Central in Albion's well-known hybrid training facility Gym Cartel, and CrossFit Desire North in Northgate. The coaches at CrossFit Desire believe in the power of CrossFit and their goal is to foster a team environment that promotes safe, efficient movement patterns for both individual and group success.
CrossFit Desire was established in 2012 and comprises coaches and members who have been active in the CrossFit community for over a decade. Their passion for introducing new members to the value of CrossFit is only matched by their commitment to their current members. With experienced coaches who excel in their respective fields and possess a “walk the talk” attitude, CrossFit Desire is a community that not only helps individuals achieve their fitness goals but also becomes a second family.
CrossFit Desire welcomes like-minded individuals from any fitness background. Their trainers ensure that everyone feels at home and progresses every day, taking something away from every session. While excelling in the gym is a priority, CrossFit Desire also believes in enjoying the journey and not just focusing all energy on training. Their training facilities provide a space for everyone to come together, engage in serious training, and enjoy the company of those around them.
CrossFit can be described as a lifestyle that prioritises overall health. It involves a variety of functional movements performed at high intensity. The goal of CrossFit is to help individuals reach their fitness goals and lead a fulfilling life.
Simon Colley, the founder and coach at CrossFit Desire, is deeply concerned with how people feel about themselves and others. His aim is to make people as happy as possible and enrich their lives through health and fitness. Gym Cartel, which is his creation, was established to provide a platform to achieve this goal and create a community that goes beyond the traditional gym setting. Simon's role is to guide and support the coaches and members of CrossFit Desire in their journey towards their goals.
He wants them to find their “flow” and understand that the gym is a place of enjoyment rather than necessary pain. With 17 years of coaching experience and personal athletic achievements, Simon has gained extensive knowledge on what works and what doesn't. Additionally, his new passion lies in the children's classes, where he witnesses his own children and their friends having fun and growing up in a gym environment.
