CFM Functional Training

Awesome coaching and workout. Loved it. Thank you

CFM has great vibe and everyone was really friendly. As a first timer I felt instructions were really clear and I felt well supported throughout

Sunday Strong was a great blend of strength and cardio, with lots of coaching and support from Lou. As always she knows when to turn the camera on me……..just as I’m slacking off 🤣🤣🤣

Jaz was super encouraging and made me feel empowered when my body was smashed. She would give technical feedback that would make certain stations a lot more easier. Thanks Jaz!

Nathan was great, He helped me learn clean and jerk techniques and let me get away with going on the bike instead of running.

Love that LuLu was constantly watching out for technique and was very encouraging through the session. Love her energy!

Very clear instructions and always happy to help out

I had a great time, Lou took the time to explain things to me and help me out when needed, and made sure I was comfortable with what I was doing.

Training with Lulu has been an absolute game changer for me. She explains movements clearly, corrects form with patience, and motivates you exactly when you need it. Her coaching style is the perfect mix of tough and supportive. I genuinely look forward to every session with her!

Lou’s a g, About 9 weeks into first time doing crossfit and have progressed heaps, constantly learning new techniques to improve my shit. Thanks Lou

Jaz is such an awesome coach! I came in nervous for my first CrossFit class, but her tips and encouragement made all the difference! Super motivating too!! Thank you!!

Thanks Jaz for taking the time to show me some new lifts and moves. I really appreciated your hat you kept coming back each time to check form and make corrections in a way that made me feel like I was getting it. I loved the rope climbs - I’ll get the tight feet eventually! Thanks so much

She is fantastic teaching techniques very efficiently.

Great class and very supportive environment.

Lou was great. She made me feel welcome for my first class and kept a watchful eye on me to ensure I was scaling properly, and had proper technique. The gym and members have a great vibe and I will certainly be returning.

Lou did an amazing job coaching us today.

Lulu taught me something instantly with Toes 2 bar. An easy cue that I’d need been told and it changed my form instantly. It was impressive! Great coaching and felt very welcome!

Lulu is a fabulous coach. She keeps an eye on the smallest of details on your technique and keeps you honest every time after that. Best of all, she pushes you to make sure you're giving your absolute 100% on the day. You know you'll have a good workout when Lulu's your coach!

I really appreciate Amelia’s attention to detail, her focus on the ensuring everyone understands the briefing before the workout and to athlete safety (particularly during heavy lifts). She is a very professional coach and always makes everyone feel welcome.

I love Lou’s classes. I always learn so much. The classes are always high energy and lots of fun. Lou always keeps me motivated and challenges me to try new things and give a little extra. It’s the best!! 🫶

Always love Lou's classes. Always! Generally speaking, I'm not enjoying the programming at the moment - the CrossFit WODS seem short and not a lot variety. BUT in saying that, it's good to be back - I've missed the joint.

At CFM you are always made to feel part of the team. With my second partial knee replacement in July 2025, prior to it and until today, I have felt deflated and unmotivated but also extremely limited in what I can do. At CFM and with the people and especially with coach Lulu encouragement I am back! Lulu has assisted me, adjusted the program so it suits my rehabilitation, made me feel i am still part of the session, monitoring that i am moving correctly and most importantly that l am valued and still moving. Thank you for all the support. Extremely awesome network and coaches. XO

Very welcoming environment, and Lou was very friendly guided me through my first session.

Lou is great as always, lively and full of motivation and energy. Always makes herself available for all the participants and keeps an eye on everyone’s progress. I really enjoy coming to these classes. Thank you for having me 😁

Great to be back and to see some familiar faces! Thanks Lou for a great session. I like the changes that was made to the box - clean & crisp!

I had the most amazing session and I felt very welcomed and supported and guided. A very professional service and lots of fun.

Had my first crossfit session today. Very hard work as it should be but very enjoyable also, lou was very friendly and very knowledgeable which made for a great session, Im looking forward to my nxt one.

It was my first hyrox session today. Lucas explained everything very well, I felt welcomed and enjoyed the workout

First class, felt supported! Keen to come back and try new things.

Great PT! Very knowledgeable, thorough with her brief prior to the workout and caters for individual needs.

Ash was excellent & exactly what i needed in terms of technique training & advice. Great communication.

Jaz was awesome. Welcoming, helpful and mindful of my injuries. I felt very supported

Nathan brings the knowledge, banter, tunes and good vibes. Classes are always fun, and you know we always finish with a good stretch!

Class was great and very lively

Lulu was very welcoming and helped create an energetic and fun vibe!

Fantastic coach. Very experienced and a great teacher

Awesome session that got me moving after a hectic work week!

Great class this morning great getting a good sweat on a Monday 5.am class

I arrived knowing that I was in the hands of a great coach and a very special person. Lulu is supportive and genuine to every person. I look forward to progressing in leaps and jumps ... and maybe some wall walks!

Great class! As newbies we were made to feel really welcome. Nathan was encouraging and created an energetic and fun training environment atmosphere where all abilities are catered for. Thank you 🙏

Super friendly and welcoming and really clear instructions

Nathan was really funny and nice he helped me push through my exercises and encouraged me a lot

Shes just the best, such a great energy and so encouraging. She actually takes the time to teach you and correct form, etc

Lulu is very encouraging and pushes you to get the most out of your workout.

As great as always ：）

Great class. See you tomorrow

I had a great time and felt challenged throughout the session. I will definitely come back because I realised my cardio fitness needs improvement.

Amazing class and vibe it made my week! Strongly recommend for any fitness level

I had a fantastic CrossFit session with Nathan today. His coaching style was motivating and clear, and he took the time to correct my form. I appreciated how he scaled the workout to my level while still pushing me to improve. The warm-up and cool-down were well structured, and I felt supported the entire time. Highly recommend training with Nathan!

Felt welcomed during our first session!

Lulu was super supportive and motivating throughout my first session. Herself and the whole team were very welcoming and bring out the best in everyone there! ☺️

Super encouraging and welcoming for a newcomer. Have never done anything like this and felt super welcomed.

Loved today’s workout was well run and well layed out a good session

Lou’s classes are always such a joy! She takes the time to check in about any injuries and on a personal level too, which makes training feel really supportive. She’s super approachable and always happy to help if I’m ever unsure about anything 😊 I always leave her classes feeling stronger, motivated and grateful to have such a great coach!

Great class tonight. Thanks Jaz😊

Jaz is constantly giving me direct feedback on form and continues to help me build better technique! Rippa coach

Lou was very kind and welcoming during my first session. She explains movements well and supports everyone throughout the class.

Lulu was great especially for a new starter like me. Very welcoming and great knowledge with the movements!

With a class of 25 to 30 people today, Lulu still made time to go up to every single person to motivate them and keep them on track for their personal goals. So much love and inspiration from not only Lulu, but from the entire team. X

Always a great class with Lou! Encourages everyone throughout the class and always willing to offer her expertise to help improve techniques or provide scaling options.

Nathan has such a warm and encouraging attitude, CrossFit sessions with him are so fun! He always helps me to push a little further, and do the best I can.

I really love working with Lou as a coach. She makes sure my technique is right before anything else, and checks in regularly. I look forward to her class every week.

It was great. I was cramping from the sixth minute (after 10 weeks off) and Hayley let me do it within my means. Thanks Hayley!

Lulu at CFM is awesome! Points out improvements needed to form and brings great energy to the classes :)

Thanks for your motivation on an early Monday morning Lucas! Best way to start the week!

Awesome coach, awesome person.

Lou is really supportive and encouraging, and a total pro, highly recommend her class

Great coaching and motivation. I think the overall vibe created was fun and friendly with a great results driven emphasis.

Amelia was great. Always clear and there to support if you're unsure. Love her energy.

Hayley was absolutely amazing! She explained the techniques really clearly and made sure I understood everything. Her encouragement throughout the session kept me motivated, and her positive vibe made the whole class such a great experience. She ran the class really well structured, fun, and supportive. Can’t wait for the next one!

Amelia was very welcoming and friendly. Felt easy being first time at the gym.

Lou (and all the coaches) is an absolute solid rock of motivation and knowledge. She makes every class so fun and gets you through to the very end with a smile on your face :)

Thanks Lucas, you’re always a great motivator and I really enjoy your encouragement!

Today’s session was exactly what I needed, the perfect mix of strength and endurance. Lou has a real talent for pushing you just the right amount to get the best out of your workout, without ever making it feel overwhelming. I’ve never felt more safe, supported, and comfortable in a gym environment. The energy was spot on, and Lou’s attention to detail and encouragement made all the difference. Can’t wait for the next session!!!!

Sam is such an amazing coach to be trained by and learn from. She focusses on technique and knows how to bring the best in you. She pushes you in a good way and is always super encouraging and patient too. Love being coached by her, please take more evening classes Coach Sam! 🤍

Loved the balance of cardio and body weight work. It was hard but not impossible. The new run(for me) was a good alternative as you weren’t running into other other people coming the other way. Great to start and finish with the run and I loved the challenge of farmers carry as well. Could abs be included as well? Maybe toes to bar. Just a thought. Enjoy your weekend Lou. Great class.

I absolutely loved every second of it! Lou was such a welcoming coached she was amazing

Lou was warm and welcoming for my first class! will definitely be back soon!

Fantastic, very impressed be back

It was great to be back today after a long break—thank you, Lou, for the support. Your coaching was really helpful in getting me started again.

Lou is a great motivator as a coach and technically very strong! Today i pushed myself to try a new skill, cheered on by a few in the class, and guided my Lou on the technical front. I left the class quite chuffed for trying something new and progressing a new move! Thanks Lou !

Hayley is a great coach, pays attention to my technique and helps me do my best . Always great attitude and positive vibes in the class

Great coach, always brings so much energy, took time to teach me rope pulls!

Always Great coaching and enthusiasm from Jaz!

Always so friendly & professional.! Lou always takes the time to teach the little extra….💪

Thank you so much Lou for being so kind during my first session! Really appreciated the tips, and especially the gummy worms when I was feeling a bit dizzy when my body was used to alllllll the cardio!

Enjoyed the pad work, pushed me just the right amount!

I felt welcome and very comfortable in the environment.Lou was very friendly and encouraging without being too over the top which I really appreciated!

Was warm and welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Will be back

Lou is always welcoming, approachable, warm and friendly in all work outs and extremely knowledgeable. She is very supportive and challenges you to be the best you can be but in a very safe and inclusive environment. Thanks Lou! 🤩

Great encouragement on effort and very useful feedback on technique. Right level of challenge in 1:1 session while trying to improve fitness after a break. Thanks!

Great instructions for the snatch complex. Easy to follow and very informative.

Awesome, first time doing hyrox training and loved every minute of it. Made me feel right at home and didn’t kill me too much on the first session. Be sure to be coming back 😊

Lou and Angela were really present throughout the entire session, watching and correcting my form, as well as explaining the why behind things (which my brain needs!). They were really patient, encouraging and happy to explain things multiple times. I get overwhelmed when trying something new, so to feel really supported for my first session was a must, and the decider on whether I would come back. Feeling so Welcomed from the Coaches and Team made this such an easy decision to join the CFM Fam!

Lou is always available to coach/help No matter how big the class is. I always feel I am learning in a safe and friendly environment when she is in charge.

Lou is such a consistent coach, always really pleasant. Today was a big class and you managed to pivot to make it work. I love the little nods of encouragement and support throughout the session 🙌🏻

Very welcoming, informative, Was aware of my capabilities as a new trainer and supported me all the way even when I had to stop. Will definitely come back.

I find Nathan's coaching style

Dan was very helpful and pushed for extra conditioning in the pad work👌🏻

Hayley is a gun! She always knows how to push you to achieve more than you think you can

Hayley’s the best! Always making the time to help us with the things we’re struggling with and giving us all the support along the way

Jazz is an absolute CFM treasure. The coach who thoroughly explains workouts, encourages us to give our best and challenges us to get better. She has also got a funny side to keep things fun too.

Jaz was very welcoming and made the whole experience a fun one! Thanks CFM for having me! 😊

Great experience, good motivation.

Hyrox session - was really good, Jaz helped me out with the appropriate weights to use considering this was my first class. Overall really fun and will be back!

Lucas was great. Helped out a new starter while still spreading his focus to the rest of us with motivational encouragement and banter

She was amazing. Helping me to work on technique and making sure i was doing the right thing. Really appreciate her effort not just towards one person but towards everyone. Amazing work.

My first time coming to CFM, Hayley made me feel super welcome!! Showed me around and even warmed up the sauna for me. Couldn’t have asked for a better coach and welcome

Hayley was very lovely and welcoming for my first class. She made sure I felt comfortable with the exercises and was supportive throughout!

Felt super welcomed on my first time doing a class, got clear instruction on how to do moves I wasn’t familiar with.

I’ve been going to CFM Hyrox classes for almost 2 months now and they are so well programmed. Lulu’s high energy and encouragement in the early mornings definitely helps me make it through 😂 The community at CFM is great and I’ve felt like part of the crew since day one. Couldn’t recommend CFM enough!

First day trial was great. Met up with Hayley and she explained what was going to happen. Warm up was a good start and explained well. While warming up I was able to scope out the gym and get my bearings and awareness of where everything is. First set of strength exercise was demonstrated well so I was able to follow. Metcon was the same. I pretty much just followed everyone’s lead. The vibe and environment is welcoming and I didn’t feel as isolated or left out. Even though I am more of a quiet and reserved person I didn’t feel as intimidated which is what I generally feel whenever I enter a new gym I’m not familiar with. Everyone’s chill and I love that. Even wishing one of the members happy birthday and having a cake at the end of the session was just wholesome. Hayley continued to give feedback and comments throughout the session so it didn’t feel like I was left out and I was able to push myself more. Overall, it was a great first experience. I enjoyed the style of workouts and it’s exactly what I’m looking for. The people are all chill so it was nice and fun to workout.

Lou was fabulous! Made power snatches so much easier as she went through the full technique which helps remind me about the little things! 🏋🏼‍♀️

Lou was great very welcoming

Tried a trial session and really loved the vibe. The place is clean, has everything you need, and the team is super friendly. Big thanks for the warm welcome — I’m excited to keep training here. Totally recommend this spot to anyone who wants an energy boost to kick off their morning!

Highly recommend! Such a chilled mix crew! Didn’t feel out place or under pressure which sometimes training at a new functional gym can give off that vibe. I like this style of training as your phone is in a pigeon hole and no distractions for 45 mins! I’ll be back!

Friendly, clear and easy to understand instructions. Good vibes.

Loved training with Lou! super supportive and lots of little tips to correct form

Lulu, thanks for always pushing us in every class. You know when we can go harder and more importantly, hold us accountable. I always appreciate your energy and having you at class is a guaranteed laugh. Thanks for always sharing your expertise and giving us form correction when needed. The thing I appreciate most about coming to CFM and the coaches is being able to learn and correct and get better. So grateful!

First class back after a couple of years on the couch. Hayley was very welcoming and me feel comfortable and good to be back. Given i’d been away for a while she spent extra time with me one on one on technique and making sure I knew what was going and encouraging me through the class. Thanks Hayley.

The community and vibes always make the difficult workouts worth it. Lou finds a way to ensure everyone of all abilities and fitness levels feel welcome and can complete sessions to their capacity. I am grateful for her support and giving me the extra push when I need it!

Hayley was professional, supportive and encouraging. I'll definitely be back.

I was once again surprised at how accomodating the training session was. Lulu changed the exercise’s to cover and injury for me and then worked with me the whole class to make sure I wasn’t injuring myself. She made me feel fully connected to the class and I loved it !!

I love Nathan's class. He is always willing to provide an alternative to a movement to accommodate my limitations. Lots of fun and time goes quickly. Highly recommend 😊

Amelia was super welcoming and was very thorough on technique! Ran an awesome class

Nathan’s classes are always fun and he is super helpful :)

Today the vibe was so alive, Lou was able to inspire and provide coaching to a large group of people. She always takes the time to brief us thoroughly, commanding and holding the attention with her strong communication skills. She ensures to provide technical advise to all members and is always open, supportive and approachable for any questions!

Jaz is great, knows her stuff and supportive

The class on Sunday was great! A huge turnout but regardless the session was well planned, a good variety of workouts, Lou was around constantly if you needed assistance or guidance! Overall loved the session and Lou’s coaching!

Jaz is an elite coach. Always brings great energy. Fun trainer and provides guidance and feedback where needed

I love Lou’s coaching. She explains the technique so well, watches you closely throughout class to make sure you’re lifting safely, and provides constant encouragement!!

I really appreciated you taking the extra time to help me with my deadlift technique.. it made such a difference. Those little tweaks helped me feel the right muscles working and will definitely help me train more effectively and avoid injury. Your attention to detail and care doesn’t go unnoticed! thank you again Amelia for a great sesh! 🏋🏼‍♀️

Thank you for your help x

Coaching was super dooper wicked fun! TLDR I learnt so much !

I highly recommend Lou Garland! Since I began my CrossFit journey, Lou has been an incredible source of motivation and support. She has a unique ability to push me just beyond my limits while ensuring I maintain proper form and technique, which has significantly improved my overall performance. The workouts are always varied and challenging, keeping me engaged and excited to come back each day. Lou fosters a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, making everyone feel like part of the community. I have seen significant improvements in my strength and endurance, and I’ve also gained confidence in my abilities. Thank you to the CRM family, and a special thanks to Lou for all his help!

Amelia was amazing and welcoming. Also very helpful for my first time back at crossfit in 8 years.

She’s a great coach and great person. I enjoy going to her classes but don’t be late coz you’ll get in trouble.

Jaz is such a knowledgeable coach. Gave me tips to improve my technique and kept me motivated throughout the session.

Solid session when Jaz coaches! Explains everything well pushing you throughout the workout which help 🤙🏽

Super friendly and encouraging group of people, with a great challenging workout! Thanks so much

Lou is a phenomenal coach and very attentive to everyone’s needs and very good with technical aspects of peoples form. She is a great coach and has helped me retain some consistency in my training which I have sorely needed.

Jaz is v v good! Knows her stuff, loves to coach. Very engaging!

Absolutely loved it! Best workout experience I’ve had in Melbourne. Louise was super professional, kind and patient. The community vibe was amazing. 200% satisfied! 🫡

Lou has an endless wealth of knowledge and is always happy to help members from begginer to advanced. The way Lou approaches her coaching means the workout or strength piece is easy to understand and execute. A lot of gym say it.. BUT CFM is quite literally a judgement free zone. The workouts are about self improvement, encouraging those around you and also having fun while doing so. Both owners Lou and Lulu, as well as all the coaching staff, embody those values everyday. CFM is the best and i cannot recommend the gym more.

Was heaps of fun and felt really supported

Lou’s got such good vibes. She breaks stuff down in a way that just makes sense, whether you’re new or just trying to clean things up. Always happy when she’s the one coaching.

Lou was great, as always! Motivating and supportive, ensuring our form was spot on and the energy levels in the gym stayed high!

My first class this morning was amazing! Louise was really kind and took the time to explain everything to us. Even with my low level of English! The whole team was so helpful and nice too! Thank you for that we’re feeling really good! :)

The way Jasmine explain the moments and always share her knowledge which is rare. 🙏

Lou is amazing. I love the vibe

Lulu was very observant, friendly and reassuring she inquired about any health issues or injuries I may have and was able to reccomend and find ways to help me push myself towards my limits but not overdo it early on. 5 stars would reccomend to anyone wanting to start there fitness journey or someone wanting to push and surpass their current goals! 💪

Such a positive vibe and great energy with the team!!! Absolutely loved it!!! Thank you for having me!!!

Lou is delightful, an amazing coach and cheerleader

Great, as always! Thanks Lou!

Love the hyrox classes at CFM!

Lou encouraged me to increase the weights and challenge myself. I would hesitate without her motivation

Was a lovely first session back! Hadn’t seen the new layout before, which I loved! So spacious. Coaching is amazing as always and making time for everyone individually which I believe alleviates stress and concerns for newcomers/anyone in a gym space. 5 stars as always

Coach Lou has such a charismatic energy! During today’s session I felt that I was being well looked after and instruction to the utmost of professionalism. If anyone asked me where to get started on weightlifting I definitely would recommend Coach Lu at CFM Moorabbin!

The attention to detail about the workouts and making things comfortable and easy for a new member.

Hayley is a great coach! Always encouraging and gives great advice and tips! And not afraid to push you to the best of your abilities

Love the Sunday Endurance sessions. Lou is a true professional of her craft!

Great class, good vibe.

Lulu is an amazing coach and explains movements in great detail!
