Head Coach/ Owner Alasdair Hislop
Alasdair has always had a passion for health and fitness.
He’s spent many years studying physiology, mobility and training techniques. He passionately believes CrossFit is the perfect training program for anyone who wants to improve their quality of life. No matter what level of fitness they're starting from and no matter what injuries/obstacles might be holding them back.
Alasdair also believes in the power of community and that's ultimately what drove him to build CrossFit Mt Eliza in 2016.
It’s his mission in life to motivate, instruct and inspire his members to help them smash their goals and live fuller, healthier lives.
Alasdair loves competing as an individual and part of a team and has secured spots on the podium in a few Victorian CrossFit competitions. He is a Level 2 CrossFit Certified Coach with an advanced understanding of CrossFit methodology, program design and implementation.
Coach Tammy Aitken
Tammy knows how to coach a crowd. After all, she’s a busy Mum of 3 footy-mad kids. When she’s not down the oval wrangling the local footy kids or challenging herself on long runs followed by cold water immersion, she’s working to become the best CrossFit coach she can be.
Her first encounter with CrossFit was hearing her hubby (also a member at CFME), talking about his daily wods. Clearly, it takes a lot to impress Tammy, as she didn’t consider checking it out herself until she accidentally stumbled on the Games documentaries on Netflix. She was so inspired by the athletes; “their strength and determination and the variety of challenges that they were able to complete”, that she decided she had to give CrossFit a go. It wasn't long before she was hooked.
As a Coach, Tammy loves “motivating people, finding out what makes them tick, seeing them make progress in different movements, and sharing the excitement when they accomplish something that they’ve been working towards”.
