We’re absolutely thrilled to announce the expansion of CrossFit Auckland into a bigger modern facility only five minutes away.
You asked for it – it took months of searching, but we finally found the right site. It is primo.
No doubt you will have questions; luckily we know the answers. But not yet young Skywalker. More will be revealed soon!
But in the meantime it’s high fives and fist pumps all round kids! Get excited, tell your family about it. Heck, the milky bars on me… if they were paleo 
Thats great news guys! Can’t wait to hear the details!

YOU GOT IT CHUCK!
Nice Chucky
Congrats guys. You guys are doing awesome things. Every time I visit from Aus you have taken things to a new level from where things were the previous time. I remember the first time I visited not long after you opened and there were 2 or 3 members per session! And now you have a vibrant, supportive, awesome box, packed with talented members. I can’t wait to see how high the bar has been raised next time I’m “home”!
Thanks Rach! There’s a place for you here whenever you do come home mate
Awesome news guys I’m very stoked you guys should be even more so. Tones of hard work on your part has paid off for the better of everyone at cfak ! This is awesome been a long time coming! Congratulations!
…got you a new box to train in Horsy… gotta be bloody excited about that!
Can’t wait to see the look on your face when you see it Horsey!
Exciting times ahead. Congrats Alex, Lisa and to CF Auckland. I look forward to see your new gym.
I’m forever in your debt for introducing me to CrossFit.

Should’ve know something was up when Lisa was telling us about the WOD for today last night and to “check the blog first thing!”.
I’ll be totally jealous of everyone training in the new box and already can’t wait to get back to give it a crack!
Congrats Lisa and Alex on your hard work. Onward and upward!

Should’ve realised when were saying today’s WOD was going to be a toughie. They’re all tough!
Don’t leave until Sunday and will be away until Thursday night so back for Easter then away for 3-4 weeks at a time with 4 days off in between rotations so will have to get my CFAK fix then!
We’ll miss you mate. You carved up this week too. Better keep it up while you’re away!

Wicked – huge congrats to Alex and Lisa, was awesome to see them beaming this morn – Dreams are coming true at CFAK peeps, good things happen to good people, I’m only a newbie and I’m excited about this news, can only imagine what you old hands are like, the Best and “FRIENDLIEST” gym in Aucks.
Todays WOD was, ummm – fun!, deadlifts were choice, then there was the WOD, by the middle of round 2 my brain kept telling me, “What doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger” I must be Arnie now then, brutal, Coach Dave said my face looked like it was in Nuclear melt down, only the sweat stopped it from catching fire (Alex has the pics to prove it, damm it, sneaky wee bugger hahaha) Huge thanks to the coaches though for gettin us all through it with no quittin, Have a great weekend Bruvs and Sis’s, hope the Auck weather keeps its promise
Brother have I got an awesome photo of you…
Outstanding news Alex and Lisa re the new digs…we’re all looking forward to finding out more!!! Like Weegee I’m only a newbie but Crossfit has become really fun for me – particularly with the 9:00am crew. It can only get better with the new location. Best gym, friendliest gym, best instructors and best workouts. How could ya lose!
As for todays workout…came close to crying and chucking with this one! I think I need a nap!
Have a good weekend all!
Great looking forward to hearing about the new place tonight. You guys must have been working hard to find us a better place to work out. I hope we can keep the same friendly and positive atmosphere, but of course we will we are taking Alex and Lisa with us.
You Betcha Catherine – the warmth of our people and the friendly and positive environment is here to stay. Our club is our people and you guys make this place what it is. Like attracts Like and that’s why we have such cool people in our community.
The fun continues… the family is just moving to a bigger better sand pit. YAY
CFAK will always be it’s people!
You can tell them guys! Crossfit Auckland is moving to Omarama in Central Otago. Better get up a little earlier to get there on time!
Auckland to Omarama run for time? Fran on the hour?
lol – I like that WOD. So CFAK will be upgrading from burpees on the minute then Jono!!
Fantastic news and well done AP and Lisa – I know these things just don’t happen and am sure there has been a whole lot of effort getting there!
Look forward to seeing the real deal in due course and of course doing some more work outs.
Not so sure about the commute to Omarama – sorry Di
Let the cat out the bag why don’t ya Di! Lol

So. Excited. Can’t wait to see the new digs! Does this mean there will be a housewarming at the new box?
If by housewarming you mean wall balls, yes!
Congrats AP&MTL this is awesome news for you both and the CFAK community.
I know how hard you have worked to get a new home for your extended family and clearly from the posts we all can’t wait to move in.
Well deserved you two and look forward to many more WODs at the new home.
I couldn’t help thinking with Top Gun JNR II on the way and H3 we may need to make room for a creche…we just need a Jester Jnr, he’s upsized to the family car and we UpSized the CFAK box!
We have got a few CrossFit Babies these days aye?! Yes folks there’s plenty of room at the new box for a play pen to be set up. Its a family house our club.
Not sure if the world can handle another jester just yet!! Besides my leather would get ruined…
Awesome work guys, it’s been very cool to see the club grow through the stages. Very happy for you both!
