Gym in East Perth

Get a Free Intro
Spark CrossFit was founded by Matt Janin in 2026 because East Perth needed a gym where people are actually coached — not just left to figure it out on their own. We’re a CrossFit gym built for everyday people who want to get stronger, feel confident, and train in a place where someone actually cares about how they move.

Meet your coach at Spark CrossFit

Your coach invests in you, not just programmes. From your first session, they’re learning how you move, what drives you, and where you want to get to — then coaching you accordingly, every single time.

Matt discovered CrossFit randomly in June 2015 and fell in love with the methodology. He’s been coaching since early 2023 and obtained his CrossFit level 2 in November 2024. He is passionate about helping people reach their goals in or outside the gym.

His motto: “I want to be the coach/person I wish I had around throughout my CrossFit journey”.

Our Mission

Coaching
that cares

Every session is led by a coach who knows your name and what you’re working on. We scale every workout so beginners feel safe and experienced athletes stay challenged.

Community without
the ego

You don’t have to look or perform a certain way to train here. High-fives are normal, encouragement is expected, and leaving your ego at the door is the only rule.

Accountability
built in

We don’t hand you a membership and hope for the best. Our coaches and community are designed to keep you showing up and making progress — especially when life gets busy.

Training for
real life

Our programming builds strength, conditioning, and movement that carry over to the rest of your life — work, family, weekends, and everything in between.

How Spark CrossFit started

Spark CrossFit started when Matt realised that the gym experience most people settle for — wandering between machines with no real plan or support — wasn’t good enough. After training CrossFit for over five years, he knew the difference a great coach could make. He also knew what it felt like not to have one. So he built the gym he wished had existed when he started.

What began as a simple idea — be the coach and mentor he wish he had — has grown into a gym built around one belief: that everyone deserves coaching that meets them where they are, not where they think they should be.

Today, Spark CrossFit helps beginners, busy professionals, and experienced athletes across East Perth train with purpose, structure, and the kind of support that actually keeps people coming back.
