Meet the Loúka CrossFit team

Talofa, Joe here one of the owners of Loúka CrossFit here in Lyall Bay. I have been in the fitness industry for over 13 years being a previous gym owner and then eventually acquiring CrossFit FRF in 2017 (re-branded to Loúka CrossFit in 2021). I am passionate about this community, I was born and raised here and love connecting with locals and welcoming new members to the area. I am passionate about CrossFit and the benefits it provides to your general health and fitness. CrossFit is constantly varied which allows us to continually challenge our members. It would be great to meet you and connect to see how we can help you in your fitness journey – Book in for a trial session admin@loukacrossfit.com

Hi ! I’m Georgina and I run the administration side of Loúka CrossFit. In 2021 I came on board as an owner with Joe and Maria, as we re-branded the gym in honour of my son Luca Cordalis-Stubbs whom we lost in October 2021. Luca was an inspirational young boy, he battled hard during the 3 1/2 years of his life and we represent his struggles with the heartbeat in the logo I designed in his honour. Luca is the best representation of the values and culture we want to set here, just come in, give it a go and live in the moment. It would be great to meet you and welcome you to our home.

Kia ora, Maria here! I love this community and how we have created an environment for members of all fitness levels to achieve and succeed. As owners, Joe, Georgie and I focus on connecting with our members and coaches to ensure we provide a great environment to train.

With over 10 years CrossFit experience, Kiri joined the coaching team in 2021 which enabled her to share her passion for connecting with people and CrossFit through coaching. Kiri spearheads our CrossFit Express classes, which keeps the members moving throughout the 45 minute class.

Kala is a very experienced Coach in the industry over the last 5 years, she has the energy and connection with members to ensure she provides the best experience for her class attendees.

It is great to have Kala in the coaching team.
