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.

We also have a Recovery Room for our members, featuring Endurance Recovery Boots and an Infrared Sauna — because we know recovery is just as important as effort in the gym.

The Plan For The Open
In case you’ve been wondering why we’ve been flogging you guys so hard for the past while, it’s because the CrossFit Open starts at the end of next week. If you have not registered yet there is still plenty of time – (go to games.crossfit.com to register) you have until the end of the first week of competition to register. There will be two opportunities to have your workout judged/validated: Session 1: 7.30-10.00am Saturday Session(s) 2: All Monday Classes. Fundraiser: This year we will be fundraising for new equipment for the gym by having a BBQ Breakfast each Saturday morning during the Open with 100% of the proceeds going go back to the gym. If there are any keen BBQ chefs out there, we will gladly accept your help. Here are some guidelines to help with smooth operation during the open period: – Saturday’s session is open format meaning first in best dressed. Please allow time to warm up prior to your workout and to stay around and judge/motivate at least one other athlete. – If you are planning to do the Open workout during class time on Monday, where possible please pre-organise a fellow class mate to be your judge and vice versa. Marie and I will be overseeing the proceedings and cannot tie our selves up by judging one person. – Please be flexible and help out wherever you can. The open adds a considerable amount of workload to our schedule and having the help of you all to set up/pack up, count, judge etc. makes a big difference. – First attempts take priority. We don’t mind athletes having move than one attempt at a workout but people who have yet to have their first attempt will take priority in the running order. – We encourage you to bring family/friends to spectate but please be aware of your child’s safety at all times. – Be sure to have all of your own personal equipment to succeed at the workout eg. tape, belts, wraps, sleeves, video camera etc. – Make sure you have watched the demo video and know the standards that are expected of you as an athlete as well as a judge. – HAVE FUN! – Let’s face it, none of us are making a living out of competing in this sport so your best be is to come in have a good go at the workout, enjoy the atmosphere and encourage your fellow athletes to achieve to their potential and maybe even have a friendly beer or two. We have done our best to provide ample opportunity to have your workouts judged and if something LEGITIMATE gets in the way of attending the sessions we have provided, please speak to us. We will do our best to accommodate you personal situations but please don’t take advantage of us. Finally, we really hope that you will consider doing the Open for yourself, for your fellow athletes and for your gym. This is the one event on the calendar that we really feel passionate about people being part of as we know how valuable it is for your progress no matter what your goals are. Trust us!!!
