Fantastic experience: It was my first Crossfit and I loved it! All the coaches are amazing, it felt like a personal training every time, awesome. Great community, great app, great gym.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Daedalus is more than just a gym, it encompasses all things Crossfit and community. Marc and the outstanding coaches challenge you, encourage you and most importantly genuinely want to see you improve as an athlete. Cannot recommend Daedalus enough to those who want a supportive, well equipped gym to train at whether you want to remain fit or if you want to continually improve in the sport of Crossfit

Fantastic experience: Dropped in while I was here on holiday. I've been doing CrossFit for over 9 years and have been to many boxes around the world. The programming was high intensity and you can tell the coach/owner has a lot of experience. Every good box's focus is on form and CrossFit Daedalus did not disappoint. Will definitely be back if I am ever in the area again. Thanks for a good sweat, Daedalus and coach Marc!

Fantastic experience: This gym is an absolutely excellent place to train for all levels! I joined when I was quite new and found Marc and the other coaches to be awesome, knowledgeable, and inspiring mentors. With a balanced mix of heavy lifting, cardio, and olympic weightlifting I can almost guarantee that if you eat right you will build muscle, loss fat, and get really fit! Whatever your goals are Marc will design a fantastic plan for you and explain in detail the reasoning behind the program; they also have top notch equipment to help achieve your goals, they even have some strongman gear. I really can't say enough good things about their service, they gave me all the experience and knowledge I needed to continue my training journey.

Fantastic experience: Had a wonderful experience with Marc today @ the CrossFit Daedalus gym . Thanks my friend Dr Aditi to take me along for her personal session & mine absolutly unplanned visit just accompnied her but so kind of Marc to guide me through. .He is such a knowledgeable and humble human being. He is very helpful and encouraging , would love to get trained from him for my shape, strength n flexibility. Definitely recommend for all those who are looking to get tonned and fit in true sense of the term. No second thought . Thanks Marc. U r amazing.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Daedalus is a great box in Central East Auckland with helpful and experienced coaches. The team go the extra mile to ensure each member's experience is a positive one. A huge focus is put into steady progression, rehab, and longevity in CrossFit making it a very beginner-friendly gym. A place for everyone!

Fantastic experience: Marc and the coaching team are highly experienced and will bring anyone a fantastic introduction or continued coaching with the sport of crossfit. The team at Crossfit Daedalus are incredibly friendly and the gym has fantastic culture! Would recommend for anyone looking to join a new gym to have a look here

Fantastic experience: Popped into this gym for some training sessions and absolutely loved it! Marc is very knowledgeable and literally fixed my deadlift in 1min! Had such a great experience there and the people were very welcoming and warm. Wish I could train here but live out west, and just a bit too far away. If you’re looking for great knowledgeable coaches then look no further!

Fantastic experience: The coaches are super helpful and knowledgeable. The members are friendly and had all come up to me to introduce themselves! :) The coaches are encouraging and are not afraid to approach you if anything is off form wise or if you look tired and need a little push to keep on going. I've learnt so much from here and would definitely recommend if you're looking for a new CF gym.

Fantastic experience: A great gym with amazing coaches! Marc and team make you feel at home from day 1. Their unwavering support and knowledge ensure you progress and reach your goals. I'd highly recommend the gym to anyone looking at getting into CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! It was my first Crossfit gym and I loved everything about it! Marc and the other coaches are amazing and they have such a great focus on technique and rehab - it felt like a personal training session every day. Great community and very welcoming. I would highly recommend Daedalus to everyone!

Fantastic experience: It was my first box, and I've stayed there for 3+ years. Awesome box, I've learn so much! Great team spirit and supportive atmosphere. Coaches are really careful about your movements, and each one has its own tips to share. You feel very comfortable even when beginning. I'll be back...

Fantastic experience: The best Crossfit!

Fantastic experience: Great community, challenging fitness and awesome gains! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: It’s an excellent CrossFit gym. Coach Marc takes personal interest in everyone’s fitness goals and helps you get there. The classes are structured well. People are friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and great workouts! Marc knows all there is to know about fitness and ensures people don't overdo it, before they're ready. Technique is so important and he strives to get everyone to their best level.

Fantastic experience: We had an amazing lifting workshop with Marc Gordon. All of our team walked away with new knowledge and skills to take back to our own studio and clients. Marc is so passionate about what he does - this came through in everything he taught us. We felt comfortable to ask questions, try things and ensure we got the most out of the session. We will hopefully be back soon for other workshops with him soon.

Fantastic experience: Marc and the team go above and beyond to help you improve and find the best version of yourself. Doesn’t matter if you are a pro lifter or you’ve never done a single squat in your life, they will welcome you and make you feel confortable. Well done team! I highly recommend this gym

Fantastic experience: Epic service and oh so knowledgeable! I wouldn't recommend any other gym! Marc is a fantastic coach and has created such a wholesome, friendly and supportive vibe and culture at CrossFit Daedalus. He also does rehabilitation (including post op) work, working with your physio to get you functioning at your optimum!

Fantastic experience: Belive me when I say Crossfit Daedalus made me love moving again. They have the friendliest team headed by the one & only Marc who all make sure that you learn the movements over just sheer strength or reps. I personally admired the team's passion to get everyone involved no matter what fitness level and there were always alternatives if you were uncomfortable with a certain movement. Great environment to learn crossfit and eventually will grow your love for the movements!

Fantastic experience: I have joined Crossfit Daedalus without knowing anything about crossfit, Marc and his awesome team really are best at what they do, they are kind, funny and professional.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to train with amazing staff who are extremely knowledgeable and Friendly. Head coach Marc always goes out his way to assist and give you the best possible route for your own goals

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t have asked for a better gym! Been here for nearly 3 years, Marc and the boys are absolute stars and have always been willing to go the extra mile to ensure we get the most out of our workout and fitness journey. Marc’s passion and knowledge for fitness really shines through and has been a major help for me, especially when recovering from injuries, as he’s been able to assist and modify any workouts to suit my need’s to make sure I never missed out !! If you do miss out he’ll be sure to track you down and get you motivated to get yourself down to the gym!! Daedalus has a great community of people who make it an awesome place to come and work out (especially for those who might feel uncomfortable coming in to a gym).

Fantastic experience: Really love training here. Marc’s knowledge and passion for fitness and rehab is phenomenal. A lot of work and effort is put into ensuring that every movement is done with the correct technique every time. There is never any issues in modifying the workouts and the trainers are always happy to help. The trainers are fantastic and very knowledgeable. Their constant motivation and enthusiasm make the WODs fun! Crossfit Daedalus is more than just a gym! 10/10 for fun. 10/10 for community. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at CrossFit Daedalus for a number of years. Marc and his team of coaches are some of the best coaches I’ve had the pleasure of working out with. The friendly, positive atmosphere with fellow members and coaches is something that I always enjoyed.Rob D.

Fantastic experience: From the first on ramp session at CrossFit Daedalus, Marc and the coaches recognised that some past injuries required some special attention and modification to help me recover and get strong again. Throughout the years I have been going to Daedalus, they have always been professional, supportive and friendly - and I have felt the benefit of a good workout in a great environment which pushed my limits but took incredible care of my physical needs. Thank you to Marc, Chris, Rudy and all the coaches and gym family for their hard work, motivation, support and friendship. If you wanna get fit, get strong and you're a bit hesitant because you've been injured in the past - get to Daedalus, they will take care of you and help you find your fitness again.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love training here! Marc and the team are truly experts in their craft, passionate not only for fitness and fun, but to give you a base of knowledge to make healthy decisions for life! The equipment is top quality and always well maintained. The smiles on the faces of people lying on the floor post WOD is indicative of brutal but enjoyable programming. Thoroughly recommend :)

Fantastic experience: An amazing group of trainers, super understanding of others needs and always there to support everyone had an amazing experience training there would highly recommend to anyone to join

Fantastic experience: Awesome CrossFit box and amazing coaches!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with better people!! Marc and the crew know their stuff.

Fantastic experience: This place is phenomenal! I came in as a super unfit beginner and they were so patient and attentive it was like having a personal trainer. Improved 10x better and faster than I could ever have on my own. Always pushed to my limits but the coaches keep a close eye to make sure you don't overdo it or get injured. Great community atmosphere and amazing workout every time.

Fantastic experience: Was at CrossFit Daedalus for around 6 months and loved it! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and technique-focused as well as encouraging. Loved the sense of community and will definitely head back once I return to NZ.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for an Anzac wod with my brother in law and was so welcomed. Mark took particular interest in my knee issues and even offered to give me personal tips and coaching on my squat the next day. The focus is on quality and technique and there is a really lovely community and family feel. I’ve spent time in many boxes all over the world and I think these guys have found the special sauce!

Fantastic experience: Marc and his team are absolute beasts, really know what they are doing and are great motivators!

Fantastic experience: The trainers are really excellent and address a person's personal needs and goals. Not a "one size fits all" approach. e.g. I am 63 so, perhaps not a typical gym user. My programme is geared to longevity and injury prevention while ageing.

Fantastic experience: Awesome instructors. Great motivation

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a crossfit box, try out at Daedalus, very friendly staff and other members, also there is a physio upstairs where you can also get a massage! thoroughly enjoyed being at Daedalus, so sad have to move away from St Johns!! thank you CrossFit Daedalus team!!!

Fantastic experience: One of the best Crossfit Boxs. Coach Marc leads an amazing team and the culture is positive and super inclusive. He is so knowledgeable and this is reflected in his coaches also. He helped me out with a recovery program after an injury, I couldn't thank him and the team enough for keeping me motivated and getting me back to full health. Just sign up, you won't regret it...

Fantastic experience: Great box! coaches qualified and friendly. A point of honor on the technique! All the equipment is there! All exercises are suitable for everyone. Real crossfit spirit! An amazing team! I highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Awesome box with small classes, easy parking and always changing workouts packed in one hour. But the best about the box is Marc and his trainers. They are incredibly knowledgeable, always look out for the right form and motivate you to you limits. It's like joining a family of sport addicted.

Fantastic experience: Best crossfit box around NZ. Welcomed us as a members of the family, even we came only for a week. Also invited us for their monthly event of BBQ and movie! That was a great experience for me as a tourist to get to know the locals throw the crossfit! Really recommended!!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Daedalus is a great place to start and keep going with crossfit. Everyone is incredibly supportive and they really go the extra mile for their members. When you are part of this amazing community you are pretty much family!

Fantastic experience: So grateful to have found CrossFit Daedalus ! The coaches are fantastic!. As a newbie, they've taught me from the very basics on how to do all the workout and showed me techniques that suits me well. For them, safety is very important and therefore, they take extra hours to teach me the right form and give me strategies, and I'm happy for it. This CrossFit has a very good vibe and everyone is friendly. Totally recommend it! - (Diana)

Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome community with super knowledgeable coaches, you can't buy the kind of passion they teach. I felt like a member of the 'family' from day one. I joined with a pre-existing lower back issue, but Marc and the team really understood the bio-mechanics behind it and helped fix the underlying weakness/cause. You guys are amazing!

Fantastic experience: Great Support from the coaches and friendly supportive place.It is great place to come workout and enjoy yourself:)

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Daedalus is not just a gym but a community. I've never felt so welcomed and supported in any gym before until I came here. The coaches genuinely care and know what they're doing and will work with you no matter what your level of fitness is. The community all support each other and you are positively challenged to be the best you can be and more. Definitely reccomend to all experienced and inexperienced in crossfit. -Katie

Fantastic experience: I joined this Box for 4 weeks during my business trip and it was great! Especially that they also had a possibility for short term participants. Will come back! :) Thanks Marc and your great team

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a few classes while on holiday. Such a great box - supportive, knowledgeable coaches and welcoming community. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in auckland. Super clean, fantastic equipment most knowledgeable staff and friendliest environment

Fantastic experience: Great place. The coaches are friendly and make you feel welcome the instant you step in. The workouts are well thought out and challenging. I struggled a lot with my diet when I first started here and Marc helped by teaching me what I should be eating and how much calories. The community is very inclusive and the whole atmosphere of the gym is always positive. Definitely recommended for everyone, from people who have never stepped into a gym before, to fitness veterans looking for a challenge.

Fantastic experience: By far one of the best gyms you could ever attend, the trainers are wonderful and they strive for your fitness level and push you way up to the top.

Fantastic experience: Great establishment and excellent support structure. Programme / workouts are top notch and well planned. I would recommend this facility to anyone looking to join a crossfit community. No 1 in my book!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and coaches. Work with every individual to ensure correct technique. Everyone is extremely supportive. Great working out with an awesome team!

Fantastic experience: At Crossfit Daedalus, Marc and the trainers work very hard to both challenge and entertain his clients at the same time. He's definitely a very open person to talk to aswell which can be very hard to find with other coaches I've decided to go with at other gyms in the past. It's also the biggest journey I have come along with in terms of fitness. The good thing about doing Crossfit and training with other people is not for him to create competition between others but others and themselves. I've come a long way with this gym and despite having to move across town and no longer having the flexibility to gym in East Auckland I will wear my Crossfit Daedalus hoodie with pride and put in my good word.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym would recommend

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Good location and great people. Always changing and improving. People here from all ages and all walks of life

Fantastic experience: My happy place. I love how the workouts are scaled, so my best is always ok. Everyone works out together, no older women's place out of sight, and we get on, all ages. I have been training over a year now, and my hips have stopped aching, I stand tall, people say how well I look. When I started I struggled with one push-up. Even when the world is challenging, I feel strong here. Thanks so much to Marc and Dana, and coaches

Fantastic experience: Well this may be bias since I own the gym but I like it. Great people, great workouts , great facility and great community . Come in for a free trial and see for yourself :)

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Coaches are amazing and every workout is different, challenging and fun!

Fantastic experience: People are super friendly at Crossfit Daedalus. WODS are always different and scaled so that everyone gets a sufficient workout.......even an "over 60". Coaches keep an ever watchful eye to maintain form and prevent injury. I look forward to getting my Crossfit Daedalus fix each time!

Fantastic experience: Love the coaches, love the members, such a great community and truly a place for everyone at all levels. I started here 5 years ago having never done a sport in my life, lost 30kgs and fixed a whole heap of joint problems in the process. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Most amazing crossfit family, coaches, close knitted community very supportive of your personal fitness goals and great morale my happy place other than home :-)
