The live announcement saw two top Aussie athletes, Matt McLeod and Khan Porter go head to head and battle it out against each other.
Matt McLeod describes his journey in CrossFit.
“After starting Crossfit in 2013, my life started to make a dramatic change. Living up in Rockhampton where Crossfit wasn’t very popular I started going to classes about twice a week for strength and conditioning for another sport, I started gradually rocking up to more and more classes each week until I was there everyday. Making the decision to stop my current sport and “just do CrossFit”, as I loved turning up everyday to get my but kicked.

After getting talked into getting my Level 1 Trainer Certificate, I started interning at Crossfit CQ where I became a lead coach about 6 months later. 2 years later and I am here at CrossFit CrossAxed and I couldn’t be happier. I love coaching and helping people achieve what they thought was never in their capabilities.
I enjoy passing my knowledge on to members and watching them use that to help them on their way to achieving their goals, whether that be fitness based or personal. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for CrossAxed and this community.”
