Product profile
CrossFit Endurance gyms are a safe space for adults of all ages and fitness levels to engage in
constantly varied high-intensity functional movement training, and build health and fitness skills
for a better life.
Training is conducted in two modes – group classes and personal training (PT).
Training is conducted in specially fitted out CrossFit gyms, which have various weights, rowers
and bikes, Olympic lifting platforms and gymnastic rigs.
Many CrossFit gyms are very strongly oriented towards serving experienced CrossFit athletes
and gym-goers. This is reflected in the coaches they have, the marketing messaging, and the
ambience of the gyms.

Assessment| BSBHRM405
However, CrossFit Endurance fosters a strong spirit of community and inclusivity, making it a
safe space for people who are not athelets or are just starting out on their fitness journey to
begin training.
The company hires coaches who are approachable and have proven abilities to adapt
programs for clients of all fitness levels.
Each day’s workout is split into three modes – from beginner, intermediate and advanced. In
each group there is a mix of fitness levels, and coaches actively encourage experienced and
inexperienced clients to train together to build respect and acceptance of all abilities.
There are many members with physical and intellectual disabilities who train regularly in group
classes.
Services such as child minding and children’s CrossFit classes are available on weekends to
encourage families to participate in training.
Operations
Income streams:
The primary source of income for the company is membership and client attendance at
CrossFit Endurance.
However, 3% - 4% of the company’s revenue comes from merchandise and retail sales,
including food, drink and supplements, as well as CrossFit Endurance t-shirts and hoodies.
Key costs:
Rent and staffing are the biggest ongoing costs to the organisation.
CrossFit facilities typically require large floor spaces, and these are more expensive to rent in
inner city locations of Brisbane CBD and Fortitude Valley.
CrossFit Endurance has a low coach turnover rate as coaches are paid competitively.
Coaches are paid at $70 per hour. In addition, CrossFit Endurance will also cover certification
fees for certain coaches, to upgrade their qualifications. These fees are typically $1000 per
person.
Classes:
All locations of CrossFit Endurance run the following sessions per week:
Version: 1.0 Gen Institute Pty Ltd © Page 69 of 91
Assessment| BSBHRM405
Pricing:
CrossFit is typically priced higher than traditional gyms because of the guaranteed individual
attention and personalised feedback that each member receives during the class session. As
such, it is a blend of personal training and group training modes.

Staffing:
At each location, some coaches work on a casual contract basis, while some coaches work
on a part-time basis.
Centre managers are responsible for recruiting, training and rostering coaches.
Programming:
Programming is based on trends and schedules from CrossFit HQ in USA, as well as on needs of
key client cohorts at each location.
Member management:
Bookings and memberships are managed through Wodify, a widely used gym management
software.
The software allows centre managers to identify income, seasonality and trends, popularity of
classes, and progress of clients.
Suppliers:
Centre managers have the autonomy to select suppliers for retail products such as energy
drinks, protein snacks and dietary supplements, to sell at the reception of each centre.
Target market:
While CrossFit Endurance welcomes adults at every age and fitness level, the target market for
CrossFit programs is adults between 25 and 34 years.
At this age, adults are generally starting “grown up” lives and establishing good self-care
habits. The older end of this spectrum also is like to engage in a regime that maintains
youthfulness and energy.
Demographic split:
Marketing strategy:
All locations of CrossFit Endurance are listed on CrossFit website. This helps potential clients find
out about the company.
There is a website developed with inputs from an SEO consultant, and a listing on Google
Maps.
The company also uses social media such as Instagram and Facebook, to promote member
profiles and tips on health, fitness and nutrition, in order to give potential customers a glimpse
of the culture at CrossFit Endurance.
Operational snapshot:
As of 30th June 2019, CrossFit Endurance has the following full time/ long term membership
numbers:
Below is a quarterly breakdown of short term/ casual membership and attendance for all
centres in the previous financial year (2019).

and clientele in Indooroopilly
Vision statement
Mission statement
Growth strategy
In order to achieve its strategic goals, CrossFit Endurance must focus on growing the client
base in Indooroopilly.
Brisbane CBD and Fortitude Valley gyms have smaller capacities for expansion, due to smaller
premises and steeper costs associated with running these facilities.
Market demand
Research indicates that the demand for functional training will continue to increase through to
2021.
However, there is likely to be a greater focus on holistic training for long term wellbeing of
body and mind, particularly among older adults and baby boomers.
For example, even within a CrossFit setting, some cohorts will prefer to train functional
movements with lower intensity, to build flexibility and good form, not just strength and
stamina.
This is also supported by the continued increase in the popularity of yoga and mindfulness
based training modalities that focus on form and muscular alignment, rather than reps, rounds,
or weight lifted.
At the same time, CrossFit’s higher price point (an average monthly membership in Australia
costs $200 - $250 per month), is being undercut by programs such as F45 which offer similar
workouts at slightly lower prices, and steep discounts to clients who pay up front. Moreover,
exercise options such as yoga or boxing are cheaper than CrossFit, and continue to remain
popular.
Therefore, there is scope within CrossFit Endurance to offer different kinds of programs to a
wider market, such as adults in age groups 50 years and older.
Demographics
18 – 34 year olds represent the largest demographic group in CrossFit Endurance’s clientele,
and the population of suburbs is largely composed of adults aged 30+ with families.
Individuals with family responsibilities residing in suburbs may have different training needs than
singles or individual residing in CBD or inner city areas.
Obstacles to change
Influenced by the global culture of CrossFit, the culture at CrossFit Endurance has also been
one of “high octane” performance. Even though workouts are scaled to suit individual ability,
all members are encouraged to push themselves during workouts, and track performance
using metrics such as rounds, times and weights for various movements.
All the coaches are equally as passionate about CrossFit as the owners of the company are.
Moreover, coaches have consciously made a career move towards specialising in CrossFit
because of their belief in the CrossFit culture and community.
Therefore, there may be a resistance from coaches to diversify the product offering and
include programs other than CrossFit, such as yoga, which have different metrics for progress,
and different training goals.
In 2020 and 2021, Crossfit Endurance will develop a program called Mindfully Fit to be offered
in addition to existing programs. The program will consist of:
• Low intensity frequently varied functional training for adults with special needs, combining
strength training, mobility training, yoga and mindfulness.
This program will be actively marketed to the target groups to build awareness and increase
membership.
