Double bay gym

We are open again!

Also on Zoom 🎥

Joined the gym before in January, gone full steam ahead?
Then come March, over it? Maybe you need accountability.
We at CTDB do not have inactive members. If we don’t here from you, or you miss a session, we care enough to see what’s going on by giving you a call and enquiring about your situation. You can exercise anywhere in any type of gym, or use a fitness tracker. Alternatively, we believe in human interaction, a person to encourage you and keep you on track. So if this sound good to you, give us a call on 0415477071.




In early March, a team of us participated in the Sydney Coast Trek in support of the Fred Hollows Foundation to restore sight to the needlessly blind. It was tough (and very hot), but we were tougher and I'm very proud of our efforts to cross the finish line! Find out more here.
Every couple of months a team of us compete in the Obstacle Course Races. . It is an extremely fun test of strength, your endurance and your limits. Check out this video of our team from the Feb '15 race.
Yoga in the Bay!

Join Mary on Sunday's at 8am:


We all work towards balance in our lives and yoga is the perfect yin to the Crosstrain's yang. If you needed reasons to add yoga to your week, here’s five:

•Improves flexibility, mobility and balance.
•Helps you focus and promotes mindfulness.
•Breathe awareness calms the mind and nourishes the body.
•Builds essential foundation for all physical exercise.
It’s fun – a yoga practice always leaves you present and relaxed
At CTDB we use Thump Boxing circuits in our workouts as a fun way to incorporate boxing in our routine. Thump Boxing utilises traditional boxing technique as well as body weight and core exercises in a manner to suit all abilities.
Coach Anthony is a Certified Thump Boxing Instructor as well as a Hoshinkwan Protaekwondo Second Dan Black Belt.


Update: To ensure the safety of our members we are not doing padwork during our Thump sessions, rather we are doing boxing circuits.

People come in asking where are all the machines? I tell them, we are the machines.
​

So why ARE there so few machines in this gym?


We believe all workouts should be based on functional movements, and these movements reflect practical movements in life.

To that end we use gymnastics, calisthenics (think body weight training, pushups, sits ups etc), weightlifting, running, rowing and more. These are the core movements of life. They move the largest loads the longest distances, so they are ideal for maximizing the amount of work done in the shortest time. Intensity is essential for results and you will gradually be able to increase intensity over time, at your own rate. By employing a constantly varied approach to training, functional movements and intensity lead to dramatic gains in fitness and weight loss.
We will do weight training using kettlebells, dumbbells,barbells and body weight. Calisthenics using rings, parallettes and body weight. Boxing using heavy bag, kick pads and focus pads to keep your legs and arms in shape. HIIT cardio using an Airbike, Concept 2 Rower, Crosstrainer and Treadmill.

Covid Safe Plan for Crosstrain Double Bay


We take the responsibility to be Covid Safe very seriously at Crosstrain Double Bay.


The health and safety of our members and staff remains my top priority.


To this end We will continue to maintain social distancing throughout sessions and an increased cleaning regime, and ensure Government COVID-19 regulations are implemented across our classes as well as offering hand sanitiser and disinfectant gym equipment.


We will be implementing the following daily procedures when we open on the 13th of June:


Equipment to be disinfected between (and during) sessions.
15 mins between sessions where possible to reduce crossover.
Maximum 10 persons per class to abide by the 4 square meter rule (we have 50/55m 2).
Structure the class to adhere to the 1.5 meter apart rule.
Reverse cardio equipment to face the walls not other participants.
Keep records of dates and times participants attended.
A hygiene Marshall has been assigned (yours truly) and will be identified by a high viv vest.
Request participants to bring there own gloves and dispose of them off premises.
Request participants not gather in groups before or after class.
This list is by no means exhaustive and will be added to as new ways to keep members safe are added to it.
Do not attend class if you are feeling unwell.


Let’s train safe and have a safe and enjoyable return to your physical and mental health.
