The Gym

CrossFit Fredericton was formed in 2007 and is the biggest "little gym" in Fredericton. We were the 1st CrossFit gym in New Brunswick, the 1st in Atlantic Canada, 10th in Canada, and 148th in the world. There are now over 3500 active CrossFit gyms worldwide, so you could say we are one of the originals.

With so many CrossFit gyms worldwide, many people incorrectly think it is a franchise. However, it is a simple trademark license agreement called an affiliation. There is no control over how we do business. No input on hours, equipment, business systems, programming, etc. And no business connection to any other CrossFit gym. Each gym may share similar principles, but implemented in a unique manner, taking on the personality of its owner. In straight forward terms, our growth and success is 100% dependent on our ability to provide the most comprehensive fitness experience in Fredericton.

CrossFit Fredericton owners Anthony Bainbridge and Jodi Bainbridge have been strength and conditioning coaches for 22+ years combined and compete in a variety of sports at regional, national, and international levels. The team of trainers bring a ton of athletic experience to the table, including adventure racing, marathons, duathlons, triathlons, Ironman, running, swimming, cycling, rowing, yoga, CrossFit Games, karate, judo, bjj, snowboarding, baseball, and powerlifting.

The gym is located at 659 Queen Street - the heart of downtown Fredericton. We have approximately 2000 square feet of open gym space with high ceilings and natural light throughout. We also have showers, lockers, and a swimming pool. Our front door opens to Fredericton's running trail along the Saint John River.

No Mirrors, No Machines?

When you enter, right away you’ll notice the absence of mirrors, machines, tanning beds, and other distractions. We use old school training systems with a heavy emphasis on coaching.

Our members are young, old, slow, fast, big, small, skinny, fat, strong, weak, students, engineers, business owners, doctors, nurses, moms, grandparents, lawyers, waitresses, teachers, cops, soldiers, and everyone in between. Our community is our biggest asset.

The training philosophy is simple - balance strength and conditioning using elements from weightlifting, gymnastics, and running. Incorporate balanced nutrition and recovery methods. Back this up with constant attention from our coaching staff. They assess where athletes are - physically and mentally - and gradually increase work load. This environment builds confidence and character as much as it builds strength and fitness.

For the equipment geeks, we have 17 barbells, over 2 tonnes (literally) of iron plates and bumper plates, rope climb, 50 feet of chinup bars, 1500 pounds of pro-grade kettlebells, gymnastics rings, medicine balls, and sandbags. To put it simply, we are the best equipped gym in Fredericton.

Our members participate in a variety of activities and they are more than happy to show you the ropes if you want to try something new. Yoga, endurance (run, bike, swim), powerlifting, grappling, roller derby, volleyball, etc.

Partners and Friends

Locally we have partnered up with other small businesses such as Jane McKeown's Yoga, Radical Edge, Atlantic College of Therapeutic Massage, and Fredericton Center for Osteopathy. In 2009 the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce voted us as a finalist for the Entrepreneurship Award.

CrossFit Headquarters chose us to organize the 2009 CrossFit Games Regional, FGB4 Regional (raised over $10,000 for prostate cancer), 2010 CrossFit Games Sectionals, 2011 CrossFit Games Regional, and 2012 CrossFit Games Regional.
