I dropped in from the US while I was in town for work. Large, beautiful facility with great, like-new equipment. Very inviting coaching staff and fellow athletes. Nice showers.

Arcadia might just be Melbourne’s best-kept CrossFit secret (although after this, maybe not!). The trainers are equal parts hardcore and professional, they genuinely invest time in helping you get results, while somehow still keeping things fun (and survivable).The community is just as impressive. Owners and members are incredibly welcoming; no intimidating gym vibes here, just good energy and encouragement all around.The training schedule keeps you motivated (even on those “why did I sign up for this?” days), and after just two months, it already feels like I’ve been part of the place for years.And let’s talk about space, this place is HUGE. Unlike most cramped CrossFit gyms, Arcadia gives you room to actually move (and collapse dramatically after a tough session).Seriously, go check it out, you might not leave. :)

At CrossFit Arcadia, I truly feel part of a community. It's a place where you can be inspired, connect with others, and have fun while training. Joseph and Jorge make everyone feel welcome and treat you like part of the family from day one.What stands out most is the passion they bring to their coaching. You can genuinely feel how much they care about what they do through the way they approach every class. Their energy, encouragement, and attention to each member create an environment where everyone feels supported and motivated to improve, no matter their fitness level.One of the things I appreciate most is that I can bring my 4-year-old son with me while I train. Kids are genuinely welcomed, which makes it much easier for parents to stay active and involved. I highly recommend CrossFit Arcadia to anyone looking for a supportive, friendly, and motivating environment.

My wife and I were visiting Melbourne for a few days and, whenever we travel, we always try to drop into local CrossFit gyms. This was definitely another great experience.The gym is quite new, but the class structure and flow were excellent. The session was very beginner-friendly, while still allowing experienced CrossFitters like myself to push the intensity and get a great workout in. The programming from the head coach was spot on, and Coach Joseph did a fantastic job leading the class with clear coaching and smooth class management.The community was welcoming, the facility is huge with plenty of space, and everything is brand new. The equipment is high quality and well maintained. The bathrooms were also excellent, and it was a nice surprise to be offered complimentary towels—something you rarely see at a CrossFit gym.Finally, don’t leave without checking out their merch. They have some awesome shirts!Highly recommend for both locals and anyone looking for a drop-in while visiting Melbourne. 💪🔥
