Rory Mallace
Head Coach
I first got into CrossFit through a recommendation from a friend. Having played a number of sports to a reasonable level my whole life, the mantra of a sport which requires being well-rounded across a wide range of disciplines naturally appealed to me. What I love most is the variety of skills I have learned over the years such as gymnastics and Olympic Weightlifting, as well as the camaraderie of the community.

Senior Coach
CrossFit had intrigued me for years but it took me a while to finally try it. I went to a LuluLemon event with my first Box to really get a feel for what it was about. There I met my first Olympic Weightlifting and CrossFit coach and it was only up from there. I’ve been obsessed ever since.
What I love most about CrossFit is the people. The fact that it’s so accessible for everyone with the right coaching. The way it can be chaotic and structured all at the same time.
I coach because I believe CrossFit is the way people can be their strongest, fittest and most athletic selves in a way which best suits their lifestyle.

Alex Murphy
Senior Coach
I first got into CrossFit as I was looking for a way to improve my fitness for rugby. I had always enjoyed exercise and gym training but got hooked on CrossFit shortly after.
I really enjoy the concurrent style of training, building well-rounded athletes, capable in many different elements. I love the nuance of higher-skill work.
I got into coaching by accident more or less, but the lessons I learned early in my career that caring for others, structuring workouts, progressions, and building strong relationships with others helped me realise that this was my passion and something I wanted to do professionally.
