In a world where fitness can feel intimidating, Mitch Clarke and Lozz Holding are on a mission to redefine what it means to be part of a gym community – one drop of sweat at a time.

With over 20 years of combined experience in the health industry and near 15 years of CrossFit expertise, they’re ready to turn Baringa’s first CrossFit offering into a sanctuary for everyone – from seasoned athletes to total newcomers.

Setting up shop at 6/29 Packer Road, next to Baringa Bikes and across from Brouhaha, Tide Athletic will officially open on November 2 at 8am.

Mr Holding said the pair were excited to offer Aura its first CrossFit experience.

“We hope to build a strong community that supports everyone from the competitive athlete to someone that’s never been in a gym before,” Mr Holding said.

“Our focus is on movement quality – making sure everyone moves safely and efficiently.

“We aim to provide a premium service through delivering a structured training program facilitated by experienced local coaches at a brand-new facility.”

While Mr Harding understood there was some misunderstanding about CrossFit in the community, he points to the words of its founder, Greg Glassman- “CrossFit isn’t for everybody, but it is for anybody.”

“If you have the courage to step through the doors and the patience to learn new skills, then you’ll soon discover that the supportive community and personal results will keep you coming back,” Mr Holding said.

“Not to mention developing a shoe addiction for the latest season of training shoes.”

The Tide Athletic open day will offer free workouts at 8am and 10am – open to all ages and fitness levels.

Scheduled classes will commence on Monday 4 November and up until then there is a DAY ONE membership available, offering unlimited classes, access to open gym, 1:1 goal setting, and a welcome pack from our partners, at a discounted price.
