Our Gym

CrossFit Napier has a strong social focus, which makes it different from going to a regular gym. Owners Les and Waka and the coaches get to know members to make the experience personal, inclusive and fun. The gym is the largest and best equipped CrossFit gym in New Zealand. We like to think of our members as our CrossFit family, and our gym as a home away from home.
 
CrossFit also differs from other forms of exercise as it takes a holistic approach to health, including your physical, mental and emotional well-being. Anyone can do CrossFit. Your size, age and level of fitness don’t matter. We’re a community where you’ll be welcomed, supported and encouraged by all our coaches and members to get fitter, healthier and happier.

Lets Get Started

Our Coaches

Les Holland - Owner / Founder

Having stumbled upon CrossFit 8 years ago it has become a staple in all my training.

As an enthusiastic runner, a dedicated father and full time comedian the last 6 years at CrossFit Napier have been a blast.

There is nothing quite like seeing the smiles on athletes faces when they soar beyond what they thought were limits, or indeed enjoy the punchline of a bad Dad joke : half a decade into this coaching journey and I know I've only just begun.

Waka Petera - Owner / Founder

I have a beautiful wife in Amanda Petera who is a PE teacher at a local Girls High school– we have 2 children- Xavier (9) and Peyton (6)

We fell in love with not just what CrossFit had done for our fitness levels, but also what it does for you mentally and the great people you meet along the way. My wife had just come through Breast Cancer, Chemo and delivering a baby all at the same time, which lead us to opening our own Box.

Going through this made us think what was really important to us in life and CrossFit came out on top (second) family first! So we decided to do the Level 1 Certificate and open here in Napier aka ‘The Nox‘. CrossFit to us is about trying to be the best that you can be , in a safe and supportive atmosphere.

Zedd Wyatt - Young & Indestrucible

As a personnal trianer for the last 3 yers and now as a qualified CrossFit Coach my mission is simple :

To help create a healthier, happier and progressive lifestyle for those willing to try.

Being a part of a persons journey to not only physically change themselves for the better but mentally too is a ride I'll forever be thankful for

Amy Morgan - Gym Mum

I started at The Nox in early 2017 after realising I needed something more than what I was getting at my previous gym and it’s one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am challenged daily, both physically and (maybe more importantly) mentally, by our coaches and programming and feel the constant support from every single member.

As my confidence in myself and passion for CrossFit grew, I decided to complete my CrossFit Level 1 in January 2018 and I was lucky enough that the stars aligned and I joined the coaching team shortly thereafter.

I love being a part of the best hour of our members’ days and sharing in their progress and successes - I’m a big fan of hitting the PB buttons!!

CrossFit Napier is my happy place - I don’t know what I would do without it and all the wonderful people that walk through its doors.
