About Coastal CrossFit
🏋️♀️ About Coastal CrossFit Welcome to Coastal CrossFit — where fitness meets community, hard work meets laughter, and results come from doing the simple things well. Founded by Chris and Marie Saliba in 2009, Coastal CrossFit has been proudly serving the Sunshine Coast for over 16 years. As the region’s longest-running affiliates (original owners) we’ve stayed true to an old-school CrossFit vibe — authentic coaching, no fluff, and a community built on effort, humility, and consistency. We’re old school proud.What originally drew us to CrossFit is still what keeps us going today — real fitness, real people, and a community that cares.Our family lives and breathes fitness for life, and that passion flows through everything we do. 💪 Our Philosophy At Coastal, we believe in real fitness for real people.No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just smart, functional training delivered with care and intention. We coach — properly.We provide 1:1 scaling and guidance for every athlete in every class. There’s no generic, one-size-fits-all approach here. We tailor each session to your goals, abilities, and experience. 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 also know our space, our equipment, and the local weather, and we use that knowledge to create smart, effective programming that truly fits our community. 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.

Athlete of the month
We are proud to announce the athlete of the month is KELLY!!! It is amazing to think about what this women has achieved in the past year and a half. When Kel started with us, training was a fairly new concept to her. We saw it as our goal to get her to understand the benefits of regular training and most importantly feeling the benefits of improving health and functionality. Kelly is a huge success story for us and it is situations like hers that give us passion to assist individual in their health and fitness journey. By no means has it been an easy road for Kelly. When starting with us Kelly’s fitness and functionality was lacking- walk/runs took it out of her and she needed assistance to complete a restricted range of motion squat. Celebrating the small achievements along the way is important and keeps motivation going. Through COVID technology restrictions meant Kelly wasn’t able to join our Zoom sessions. You could understand if this resulted in a lack of motivation, however Kelly continue to train (often on her own) and send through her results keeping her on track. Take the time to look back and see how far you have come.Through hardwork, consistency in training and focus on nutrition and becoming a better version of herself Kelly has made huge accomplishments this past while. Some of these include: Run 3.2km, Front Squat with barbell, Body weight lunges, 32.5kg Clean. THESE ARE LIFE CHANGES!!!Increasing functionality – The change in the quality of daily life and longevity is chalk and cheese and it will only get better.As always, we educate to treat training as a part of your lifestyle (not an optional extra) consistency is key. Kelly we could not be prouder of how you have embraced CrossFit and the long term benefits you are going to continue to see. Keep doing exactly what you are doing – the rewards are endless. Kelly will receive a gift pack including a treatment from Body Mechanics Myotherapy (thanks to Aden) https://www.facebook.com/bodymechanicsmyotherapy/a B-Fresh voucher and a chosen True product thanks to Maverick Strength and Conditioning Equipment. We asked Kelly a few questions read below to get to know Kelly story. What made you start CrossFit?Heather is the reason I started CrossFit. She had been telling me how I should come check it out and that I would love Marie. Initialy I felt too intimidated, so I made up excuses not to go. In the end, Heather had pretty much challenged me. So, I went. 18 months later I have not looked back.What are your favourite CrossFit moments?I really enjoy when we are collectively laying on the floor, after a really brutal workout, gasping for breath. I love that sense of achievement and not being alone in that moment.What are your other passions in life and how does CrossFit help (if it does)?My family is my passion! Going to CrossFit on a regular basis help’s me to regulate myself. It gives me the ability to cope with the challenge’s life sometimes throws my way. I have been told ” I am more manageable when I go to CrossFit”. What does Coastal CrossFit mean to you and how has it impacted you?Coastal CrossFit is my therapy! It is literally my antidepressant. It helps improve my mental well being and my ability to cope. I feel Marie, Chris and Mark offer a holistic approach to fitness and well being. I love that its more than just working out. It is about the whole picture. The sense of community keeps me coming back, the support and encouragement is a powerful motivator. What is your most memorable achievement?My progress with my squat! Achieving a 10kg goblet squat then moving onto the tech bar for the front squat. It has been really hard work for me. What is something that most people don’t know about you?I have a fiery temper and a mouth like a sailor. (We haven’t seen this yet, even through the hardest of WODs).
