30 out of 133 members asked left a review (22.6% participation rate) in the last 90 days. This is above the network average of 13.6% across 1,252 gyms.
Boutique gyms typically see higher average ratings than big-box gyms because members are personally asked by coaches they train with daily — not through anonymous post-visit emails. This personal connection means the feedback is more genuine and detailed, and members who love their gym are naturally more motivated to share that experience.
Great coaching, especially helpful after taking a few weeks off. Thanks Sylvia!
Going to the CrossFit Dungeon is the highlight of most days. Not like a actual dungeon where you would be trying to escape.
CrossFit Dungeon - Gym Cairns has excellent equipment and space, and it's very suitable if you're a beginner. The vibe is welcoming, so I felt comfortable trying it out.
Loved it. Popped into the Dungeon for a drop in sesh today and the coaches were great, everyone was super friendly and good equipment. Will be back!
We dropped into CrossFit Dungeon and used a platform in the ‘red zone’. Had everything we needed including a squat rack. The space was easy to find and kept clean and tidy. We’ll defs be coming back while we’re in the area.
CrossFit Dungeon - Gym Cairns feels welcoming to everyone and I’ve connected with people here. The class schedule works for me, so I’m pretty happy with it.
Honestly have nothing to critique! The only question is what doesn’t the future have in store for dungeon? In the 3 short years I’ve been apart of CrossFit Dungeon’s community I’ve had the privilege of watching their space grow, community build and character only strengthen. Malx, Shaz, the entire coaching team and everyone that makes the gym what it is, is my reason. I can turn up to the gym everyday, have 2 weeks off, have months off and still be welcomed back the same. Their classes are customisable and adaptable to all strength levels, age groups or situations, and they make sure everyone gets the appropriate fit. They are family, and if you’re going to choose to spend hours of your week with people, why not spend it with family 🥰
✨Ideal location ✨ The community here is so kind and welcoming. ✨ The coaches are amazing—always checking in and making sure your form is on point. ✨ The workouts are intense, but in the best way possible. ✨ I haven’t felt this good in a long time.
Great gym with friendly, supportive coaches and members. Highly recommend!
Always a positive experience. The coaches are so professional and encouraging. Can scale any movement depending on skill or physical needs. Friendly, enthusiastic to all members new and old. Always welcoming drop ins and newbies giving them 100 percent of their energy, skills and patience.
Love the programming here. And the coaching is next level!
Sylvia is a great coach. She’s approachable and knowledgeable, and as someone who is new to the sport, I really appreciate how clearly she breaks things down. She makes it easy to understand what’s expected and how to move correctly and safely. Her demos are clear, her cues make sense, and she encourages everyone in the room. I always feel supported training with her and genuinely look forward to each session. Deb in the crèche has been such a gift. Her kindness has made it possible for me to train consistently, and my little guy absolutely adores her. It’s such a relief knowing he’s happy and cared for while I’m working out. The experience has been so positive, and even though it’s early days, I’m already so grateful I signed up.
CrossFit Dungeon - Gym Cairns has many group classes and a trainer available, which is awesome. Definitely worth the price for the great value. I’d recommend it!
It was my first time doing CrossFit abroad, and even though I don't speak much English, everyone was so kind and supportive. The members cheered me on and made me feel very welcome. I had a great time—thank you so much!
It is an excellent gym where you can train intensely, with the help of excellent trainers, towards your goals.
I completed my first Foundation Class today and had a challenging but very informative and encouraging experience. The knowledgeable coaching helped me correct my techniques, making the exercises more enjoyable and helping me understand how to achieve my goals. Thanks to the supportive onboarding, experienced coaching team, and the great energy at The Dungeon.
Love Jim’s classes, he works hard to find alternatives that keep me challenged and interested with great results. Thanks Jim
Really good first session. Felt supported as it’s scaled to all individual needs which took the pressure off and made it feel like my own journey .
Was my first session..but the atmosphere was friendly.. I felt one of them!
Sharon is a really engaging coach, she always pushes the kids to try their hardest and test themselves while always making the class fun. The CrossFit kids group is full of lovely like minded kids and there is a good balance of social interaction and work. Would definitely recommend this group to anyone who is thinking of introducing their kids to strength training.
My coach this morning was Jim. I’m originally from SA, it was my first time at the box and yet everyone made me feel like I was a local, everyone is very welcoming and encouraging you to work hard. The atmosphere is amazing as well! Jim has exceptional knowledge in not only CrossFit but warmups, stretches and cooldowns post workout. I 100% recommend visiting the Box and do a drop in if you’re not affiliated.
Such a warm and friendly community! Felt so welcomed on my first visit. The crèche is also amazing. The Dungeon team totally get the mum juggle and are such a great support.
I felt very welcome from the moment I stepped in. They really helped me get through all of the exercises, which gave me confidence. I can’t wait to be back for more!
I love to workout at CrossFit Dungeon. The coaches are just great and very welcoming. There is a strong community spirit which I really enjoy to have become a part of. I would recommend anyone to train at CrossFit Dungeon :)
Unreal energy! What a great box to drop in and feel welcome. Thanks Sylvia for your coaching and up beat vibes!
Such a welcoming and motivating place to train. The coaches are next level and the vibes are always good. If you’re thinking about joining CrossFit Dungeon — do it!
Only had a few hours in cairns and we had to try CF Dungeon! We were greeted by Lynnie who welcomed us with opened arms and gave us a quick tour of the box and just made us feel at home! The box is a 10/10, very organised and clean and plenty of space! They have heaps of massive cooling fans (bonus for me who is use to the brisbane climate 🤣) Lynnie reminded me of why i started my journey in the crossfit space. Great coach, down to earth and will always encourage us to do within our means but also pushing us when we feel ready! My wife and i would recommend this to anyone visiting Cairns. Till next time when we decide to cruise again in april!
Since joining CFD, I could not have felt more comfortable in the training and care that all the team show. Its a really safe and family orientated gym, which has been a pleasant surprise. I am also learning a lot more about exercise, muscle and movement, more than I thought I would. Well done team!
Coaches are so good! Love them all!
Had a great first start with Malcolm and looking forward to Wednesday
Malcolm was his usual excellent self, encouraging me to do better and be better.
The Coach was very good & Welcoming :) I enjoyed the session! It won't give me an option to select the coach though.
Can really recommend this place. Lovely coaches and great atmosphere.
Great! Andrew’s moustache is always on point 👌
Always a safe and welcoming environment to walk into. The class programming is great. All of the coaches have something different to offer. They are super knowledgeable and they care about you, your goals and your progress.
Friendly coach and team , I feel happy ,Because my body is changing and make muscles strong
Lynnie was really helpful, high energy and friendly as usual. She is so welcoming for visitors & locals alike. CrossFit Dungeon is a great gym and wonderful community… and supports people right across the age and ability range to improve strength, fitness, flexibility, and function… I highly recommend these guys! From Andrew 64yo
Coach was excellent. Explained the workout, and the appropriate scales.
Always a welcoming smile from coaches, encouragement to taylor workouts to individual needs and creating a supportive fun environment
Session was great today, and Lynnie was so welcoming 😃
The coaches are great — they really pay attention to you. The atmosphere in the dungeon is really good and welcoming. It’s been a kind of temple for me during my time in Cairns. Gratefu
I’ve been training at CFD for 7 years now and i have to say it is one of the best fitness decisions I’ve made. The coaches are very knowledgeable and supportive of our fitness progress. They take time to correct our forms and safely push us for the PBs. I love how the workouts are scaleable for all fitness levels. At CFD it is not just a gym or box it is more like a family- everyone supports each other no matter where you are in your fitness journey. CDF is well equipped, safe, clean and has a great vibe. If you are looking for a place to get strong, stay fit and motivated, Dungeon is the one.
I really loved my coach ! She was welcoming and so nice. She took time to write down places to visit while we’re in cairns, and it was much appreciated! I’ll definitely be dropping back in if I get the chance
Was an excellent class, coach was really informative, got 1:1 time with everyone in class, I had tight hips and she provided excellent adjustment and advice of stretches to help me with the movement during and post class I had an excellent workout
Approachable and clear as always. Offered plenty of alternative exercises/movements tailored to my needs.
Jim was supportive. Could 'feel' his eyes making sure I was safe. And the other guys were friendly. Thank you everyone for a good experience
Best coaches and staff here, they help and support you through all the workout, you will never fill lost or out of place, even other participants in the Gym are helpful, and supportive. All smiles a happy environment to work out best in Cairns.
Both coaches did very well. They explained each exercise clearly, including how to perform them properly and how to protect my back. In general, everything was explained thoroughly, and the routines were great. Thank you!
Great. I felt very supported
Hannah was fabulous as always. Enthusiastic & fun but still kept the huge class in check and safe.
Absolutely loved today’s session with Coach Lynnie! We were working on clean and jerks, and she was incredible - super attentive, constantly watching everyone’s form, and giving out clear, helpful advice that made a real difference. Lynnie has tons of technical knowledge and a genuine passion for coaching that makes you feel supported and pushed to do your best.
CrossFit Dungeon has been everything thing I hoped for and more. The facilities are great and the staff are beautiful. I have felt welcomed from the moment I walked in. The coaches are professional, encouraging & fun, all while providing high quality coaching. I have achieved more goals in the couple of months I have been at CF Dungeon than I thought possible. I would highly recommend CF Dungeon to everyone, whether you are a beginner or an experienced athlete.
