About Us

North Head Fitness

North Head Fitness opened its doors in 2012, originally as CrossFit North Head.

CFNH continues to be part of our business, as we are passionate about the methodology of CrossFit and the benefits of functional movement through its training principles.

In 2018 we evolved to North Head Fitness, with the introduction of additional classes to complement our existing training offerings. This now includes Boxing and Sports Performance programs, in addition to continuing with our CrossFit workouts, Endurance, Barbell and Kids programs.
