OUR COMMUNITY
We stand together—Torian proud—with humility, integrity and a shared belief that we are stronger as one. We take ownership of our actions, trust the process, and pursue progress through consistency and effort. We show respect to ourselves and each other, knowing that everyone’s journey matters. We embrace adversity, rise to challenges, and never, ever give up.
CROSSFIT TORIAN
Located in Bowen Hills, Brisbane, CrossFit Torian is the largest CrossFit gym in the southern hemisphere. With over 1,500 square metres of functional space, extensive equipment, and an Olympic Weightlifting Club, it’s a training environment where anyone from beginners to elite athletes can challenge themselves, train with purpose, and make real progress.
Our expert coaching team delivers smart, custom programming, across 37 CrossFit classes per week designed to support long-term health and performance.
Offering open gym access seven days a week, plus convenient amenities like showers, change rooms, babysitting and extensive onsite parking, we're setup to support consistency.
But more than anything, it’s the people who make Torian special. With over 350 members, in-house comps and events, we’ve built a community that trains hard, supports each other, and has a lot of fun doing it.
We're more than just a place to work out. It’s where you find your people, put in the work, and become stronger in every way.
OUR MISSION
“Your health is everything. It’s the foundation that allows us to show up as our best—in work, relationships and in life. At Torian, we’re not just building a gym; we’re building a community where people take ownership of their health, grow in confidence and support each other along the way. My passion is to expose as many people as possible to the life-changing physical and mental health benefits of training by creating spaces that motivate and empower them to get the most out of life.”
— Johno Snape (Founder & Owner)
“I’ve always believed that great movement is the foundation of a fuller life. At Torian, we’ve built a place where people don’t just train, they move with purpose, grow with confidence, and discover what they’re truly capable of. Whether it’s chasing athletic goals or simply becoming a stronger, healthier version of themselves, we’re here to support that journey every step of the way. It’s about building better humans through the power of movement and community.”
— Mike Towner (Founder & Owner)
OUR STORY
CrossFit Torian was founded in 2014 by friends Mike Towner and Johno Snape, driven by a shared vision to create a training facility that would set a new benchmark for functional fitness and CrossFit in Australia. Founded with a bold vision, the gym quickly gained recognition for its expert coaching, strong community culture, and extensive facilities. Torian has produced and hosted some of the country’s top athletes, championed the growth of competitive CrossFit via the internationally acclaimed Torian Pro—and built a reputation as one of the most respected affiliates in the world.
In 2024, that same passion for innovation and training gave rise to Teneriffe Athletic Club—an extension of their mission to help more people move better, feel stronger and live healthier. Together, Torian and TAC now stand as two distinct but connected spaces, united by a commitment to raising the standard of health and fitness in Brisbane and beyond. Most importantly, both continue to transform the lives of thousands, helping people of all backgrounds become fitter, stronger and healthier through the power of community-driven fitness.
