Wanneroo gym staple, Culture Fitness, has introduced a new generation of members to their group coaching classes this week through a popular have-a-go-night.
The gym’s owners, locals Chris Pavy and Tracey-Kaye Aflept, opened up their Wanneroo Road studios for the one-off Hyrox-style class on Tuesday (September 15).

Pavy said many of their members were still on a high after competing in the Perth 2026 Hyrox contest late last month at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, but knew there were still a large number yet to experience the fitness craze for themselves.

“Wanneroo has a great base of people who really support each other, so mixing that into a gym we have the best customers,” he said.

“And Hyrox is all about camaraderie and community — it’s not about competing against others, rather it’s really a competition with yourself.

“For 95 per cent of our members, they are doing it to bond with others, and the doubles event is great for that, where you find a buddy in the gym and work together.”
