COMMUNITY AWARD

This award recognizes someone who consistently demonstrates selfless support for others.
This year’s recipient embraced every aspect of our community—stepping up as an Open team captain, providing encouragement throughout the Spring Challenge, looking out for everyone, and often being the last person standing at events to ensure the whole crew gets home safely.

2025 – NICOLE
Thank you for everything you do for our community.

NEW & IMPROVED

Awarded to a newer member who has shown significant improvement in movement quality, health, and overall fitness—reflecting their dedication to growth.

After years of gentle persuasion, he finally joined us, officially marrying into the Coastal CrossFit family. Since then, he has gone from strength to strength, hitting PBs what feels like every week. We’re excited to continue supporting your health and fitness journey – JOSH

INSPIRATION AWARD

Presented to someone who inspires those around them by challenging themselves to live a healthier, more functional, and fulfilling life.

Training right up until pregnancy, then returning soon after her little boy arrived, she has embraced the challenges of motherhood while continuing to prioritise her health. A true example of training for life and setting an incredible example for Ted and Elias.

Congratulations, Sally, and thank you for being an ongoing source of inspiration.
2025 – SALLY

ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENT

This award recognises an individual who has demonstrated exceptional improvement throughout the year—someone who embraces coaching, works on their weaknesses, and consistently gives their best.

It’s an honor to witness the growth of our athletes, and many were deserving of this award. However, one athlete truly stood out this year for her confidence, her willingness to challenge herself, and her overall athletic development in 2025.
2025 – MEL

SPIRIT OF COASTAL

This award goes to the individual who embodies the attributes we value most: discipline, coachability, positivity, humility, a focus on health and wellbeing, and unwavering support for the community. It is not about being the top performer, but about representing what Coastal stands for.

From the moment you walked through our doors, you became a valued part of our community. Your positivity, energy, and genuine nature reflect everything we love about Coastal.

It doesn’t matter where you start — we’re all on our own journey, and we travel that path together.At Coastal, there’s no ego — just hard work and support. 🧠 Our Programming We write our own programming — always have, always will.Why? Because we know our athletes — their abilities, injuries, goals, and challenges.

We program for the general population, with a focus on health, longevity, and overall wellbeing. Our goal is to help people move better, feel stronger, and live healthier — inside and outside the gym. Every workout has purpose. Every movement has intent.Our programming evolves with our people — not the latest trends. 👥 Our Community We’re more than a gym — we’re a family. Many of our members have been with us from day one, and we’re proud to have athletes who have stayed with us for years, growing stronger together. Our members come from all walks of life, training side by side and supporting each other through every rep and every season of life. Your ability, size, or background doesn’t matter. Once you walk through our doors, you’re supported and encouraged by the most amazing crew. We’ll challenge, support, and lift you up — helping you become the best version of yourself. The vibe? Old-school CrossFit — the kind where the whiteboard still matters. It’s where we record scores, share effort, celebrate wins, and keep each other accountable. Barbells clanging, music pumping, everyone cheering for the last person to finish — that’s Coastal. Here, effort is celebrated, progress is personal, and everyone is welcome. 🧑‍🏫 Our Coaches Led by Marie and Chris, our coaching team brings years of experience across CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting, and movement coaching.We focus on doing the basics exceptionally well — with an emphasis on movement quality, consistency, and longevity.
