Best crossfit centers in Kuala Lumpur: find options near you

Dropped in twice here while on my trip— totally worth it!
I was in town and decided to check out a local CrossFit box. Ended up dropping in twice because I loved it so much. The workouts were intense but fun, and the community was super welcoming.

The coach really knew their stuff and created a great vibe. Even though I was just visiting, I felt like part of the team. Definitely one of the highlights of this trip!

I tried CrossFit for two months (3x per week) while travelling and now I’m hooked. Going in, I wasn’t sure what to expect but I wanted something intense and challenging. The coaches are really great at correcting form and explaining the proper techniques. I also liked how I could do every workout at my own pace, and the coaches would help guide so there was no need to be intimidated while still learning.

In the two months, I noticed changes in my body, and most importantly I feel stronger.
The people at the gym were also super great and welcoming. Will miss this location and definitely be back if I’m ever in KL again!

Great 8:15am session at CrossFit Lah! The coach, Puvan, led a solid warm-up and a well-structured 30-minute endurance workout with rowing and gymnastic movements. Booking the class was easy and the atmosphere was welcoming and motivating. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing time at CrossFit Lab in Kuala Lumpur. I was only there for two days as I’m from Spain and was just passing through, but I enjoyed every single minute. Coach Puvan was incredibly attentive, ensuring we corrected our technique and always offering helpful advice to improve. The atmosphere was so welcoming, and the best part? They have a lovely dog that greets you with lots of affection, which makes the environment even more special The community of people was also really friendly and motivating

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to train in a fantastic atmosphere with dedicated coaches!! ‍♀️

We had a few days is Kuala Lumpur and decided to drop in for a morning class and we had a really good time. The gym is easy to find, you can use the public transportation as well to go there. They have everything you need to do a proper workout. Coach Puvan is doing a great job and everyone was so nice and welcoming. And Vela is the sweetest dog that you will meet in Malaysia ☺️ Keep up the good work

I had an amazing CrossFit class with Coach Puvan at CrossFit Lah. He is an exceptional coach who provided great guidance and personal attention during the session. From the moment I stepped in, Coach Puvan made me feel welcome and right at home. What stood out to me was how he took the time to ensure my family, who were sitting by and watching, felt comfortable and included as well. His thoughtfulness embodies the true spirit of CrossFit. I would highly recommend CrossFit Lah to anyone visiting Kuala Lumpur!
PS: I even hit a PB in my clean and jerk

“I had the chance to drop in at CrossFit Lah today and it was absolutely an amazing experience! From the moment I walked in, the community was super welcoming and friendly. The energy in the box is contagious – everyone trains hard but also supports and cheers for each other, which makes a huge difference.

The coach was excellent: very professional, motivating, and attentive to details. He made sure technique and scaling options were clear, so everyone could push their limits safely and effectively. I really appreciated how he gave personalized feedback while keeping the whole group inspired.

The facility itself is top notch – plenty of space, great equipment, and a positive atmosphere that makes you want to give your best in every workout.

If you’re in Kuala Lumpur and looking for a place to train, I 100% recommend CrossFit Lah. It’s not just about the workout, it’s about the people, the vibe, and the sense of community they create. Can’t wait to come back!”**

After training here for over a year with Coach Jia Wei, I can confidently say I’ve become much stronger and leaner while improving my workout techniques. What I especially like is that there’s always clear communication and attention to detail during the session — letting me train 110% without worry.

Coach Jia Wei has also helped me with building sustainable habits for weight loss — no more crash dieting or crazy weight rebound! ❌

As for the gym itself, the equipment is always well-maintained and cleaned frequently before/after use. Many thanks to the other friendly coaches as well for helping to adjust/teach how to use the equipment correctly.

I absolutely love training at this fitness studio!
Working with Jordan has been an incredible experience. He is not only a knowledgeable and skilled trainer but also genuinely friendly and kind. He doesn’t just focus on the scale but on real progress and healthy habits. I enjoy every session, and I’ve made going to the gym a regular part of my routine thanks to his support and motivation.

Besides, all the coaches here are friendly and supportive, creating a warm, welcoming environment that feels like a family. This sense of community makes coming to the studio even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a personal trainer who truly cares about your well-being and long-term success.

Been training with my PT Nancy for the past 6 months.
Great experience as she always provide professional guidance and training.
Highly recommended CROSSLIMIT FITNESS. VERY friendly team who make me actually want to go train. It was a great gym with good environment!

This gym is excellent, especially if you’re looking for personal training. Michael is an amazing trainer—he’s professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about your progress. He takes the time to understand your goals and builds workouts that are both challenging and effective. I’ve seen great results and always feel motivated after each session. Highly recommend working with Michael!

Training with Stella has been one of the best choices I’ve made—despite me complaining that I’m tired almost every session . She’s super knowledgeable and always puts safety, form, and proper movement first, which I really appreciate.

She plans workouts that match my goals but also takes into account what I like (and what I don’t), so I’m always challenged but never dreading it. What makes her stand out is how much she cares beyond just the gym—she checks in on my meals, activity, and keeps me on track even outside of training.

The gym itself has such a warm, encouraging atmosphere. The whole team is friendly, supportive, and always ready to cheer you on. It feels more like a community than just a place to work out, and that makes a huge difference in staying motivated. I’m really glad I found this place—it’s made fitness feel a lot more enjoyable (even when my muscles disagree)!

I’ve been training with Stella for a while now, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. Stella is not only knowledgeable and professional, but she also brings so much positive energy and encouragement to every session. She listens carefully to my goals and tailors the workouts to fit my needs, making sure I stay motivated and challenged in the best way.
Thanks to her guidance, I’ve seen real progress — not just physically, but also in my confidence and mindset.
If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about your growth and well-being, I highly recommend Stella. She’s truly amazing at what she does!

✨If you’re not sure how to start strength training, this is the perfect place to begin!
I love the private and comfy environment here — no walk-ins, just focused training. ️‍♀️

Huge thanks to my coach Demon for guiding me with proper techniques and teaching me how to eat right for my goals.
After just 1.5 months of training, I’ve gained the confidence to work out on my own — something I never thought I could do!

Can’t wait to see more progress ahead!

如果你不知道如何开始重训，推荐你们来这里尝试看看。我很喜欢这里的环境，private 又舒适，没有walk in 的人，这里的每位教练也很nice , 我的教练 Demon , 给我很多专业重训和健康饮食的知识，让我懂得如何选择对的食物来吃，还有对的姿势避免受伤。我在这里运动了1个月半，之前不敢一个人到gym 自己锻炼，现在可以自信的自己一个人锻炼了。很期待过后的成果。

I visited PassionFit during my vacation and had a great drop-in and class. The atmosphere was very welcoming and working out here was a lot of fun. I would totally come here again and highly recommend this CrossFit place.

I come here on 14 July for late night class, it’s not the first time I came here but first time I have showered here. I don’t know that they will close at 8:45, I thought at 10pm. So I took shower more than 30 mins, go out at 9:20 and I suddenly realized they closed already. Luckily the front desk staff is nice and does not chase me away as other studio I used to come. This place is kinda far for my place but I think I will come again and again due to good services.

The gym is really clean, spacious and including the free parking. Staffs are super helpful, friendly and open to all feedbacks. Was joining the class in the morning with coach So Hee – skillful, funny and really details on correcting the movements. Class here is full of encouragement and take good care of your safety

Great place and great people for your workout! Their location is so strategic too, it’s very near to LRT/MRT Ampang Park

Great workout space if you’re in the KLCC area and your hotel gym is under maintenance. Got in via ClassPass. It’s a hiit workout so don’t expect it to be for beginners or someone who doesn’t workout. I’ve added a picture of the side entrance cos that’s what u need to find to enter for morning classes.

An fantastic facility with great coaching and an overall awesome vibe! I also *really* appreciate the taste in music at this gym. Fun, funky, and uplifting is very motivating.

If you’re in KLCC, you’d be hard pressed to find a better place to workout. Also the LINC Mall (where PF is located) is an really unique community center for arts, food, and other shops.

Randomly stumbled onto this CrossFit gym in KL on ClassPass. They have an awesome community here with very qualified coaches. They have my highest recommendation. Keep it up!

Some close friends and I were looking for a place to continue our fitness journey when our former gym closed back in 2019. We were so glad to have found Grit Nation Subang. From their warm friendly coaches, to the ever improving equipment and facility, we definitely look forward to every workout session at Grit. If you’re looking for a place to kick start or continue your fitness journey, I’d definitely highly recommend checking out Grit Nation Subang

I recently started attend Grit Nation Saturday’s fundamental class. If you’re serious about building a solid foundation in strength training, Mo is fantastic. His patience is a real asset, especially when learning new and sometimes complex movements. He has a knack for explaining the “why” behind each exercise, ensuring you understand the mechanics and the muscles being worked. This approach not only helps with proper form but also empowers you to train more effectively on your own. I’ve gained a much clearer understanding of fundamental principles thanks to his guidance. His commitment to proper technique and progressive training is evident in every session. For anyone looking to learn the right way from the start, or even to refine their existing knowledge, he’s the real deal. Please, please continue offering these fundamental classes – they are so valuable.

I’ve been seeing Vince as my PT and going to GRIT for 3 years. I first signed up for PT for my wedding, and continued after that until today throughout my 2 pregnancies. My physique has improved no doubt, but also my stamina, skills, strength and agility.

Since giving birth the first time, I’ve had no pain, my stamina has maintained and I believe the training was what has helped me throughout the post partum period.

The equipments are all high quality, well maintained. There are rowing machines, Skierg machines, echo bikes, etc. And the usual weight lighting rigs.

People are friendly and Vince is one of the best. He is patient, firm, and pushes you towards your goal.

I’m really happy with the experience so far and I have no doubt I will continue for as long as I can.

Updated on 22 June. Grit nation has sincerely apologized and committed to covering all medical expenses. I truly feel their genuine remorse and sincerity

On 18 June, around 9pm, during a scheduled training session Grit Nation, I was accidentally struck directly in the eye by a heavy rope mishandled during a handover by the coach. The force of the blow caused an immediate and agonizing corneal injury—confirmed later at Sunway Medical Centre—left eye Cornea Abrasion and left eye Commotio Retinae with blurred vision, extreme pain, and sensitivity to light.

What shocked me more than the physical pain was the coach’s response—or lack thereof. Rather than stopping to check on me, she continued coaching other participants. It was only after concerned bystanders gathered that she walked over and, without apology or expression of regret, briefly asked how I felt. There was no empathy, no offer of medical assistance or follow-up, and certainly no compensation offered for the inconvenience and suffering I endured.

As a trained professional in a setting involving potentially dangerous equipment, the coach owed me a clear duty of care: to maintain awareness of my proximity, handle equipment safely, and respond immediately if an accident occurred. When she failed to do so—by risking injury through negligent handling, ignoring the incident, and failing to supervise properly—she breached that duty of care In legal term, this constitutes negligence under tort law, as her omission directly led to my medical injury, pain, and financial expense .

The aftermath has been deeply disruptive: medical bills, ongoing doctor visits, pain management, and emotional strain as I adjust to living with impaired vision and discomfort. I should not be burdened with these consequences when the injury was entirely preventable.

Therefore, I respectfully request:

* A formal written apology acknowledging the incident and the failure in duty of care.
* Full reimbursement of all medical expenses incurred, including emergency treatment, follow-up consultations, and medication.
* A clear description of corrective actions the facility will implement: enhanced coach training, improved supervision protocols, and safety measures for equipment handling.
* A commitment to prevent future negligence and protect all participants from similar incidents.
This was not merely an accident—it was a preventable injury compounded by unprofessional conduct and a lack of accountability. I trust Grit Nation will address this matter seriously and respond promptly.
Thank you for your attention. I look forward to your timely response.

Sincerely,

Voon Ching

Have been working out at grit for a few years and have enjoyed their classes every time! The coaches are patient, knowledgeable and friendly! With their recent expansion, there’s more equipment and definitely bigger space for open gym if you want to train on your own!

I just got home after their Saturday Hyrox HIIT class and is in such a good mood! That’s how much my friends and I enjoy their sessions! It was so much fun, full of good vibes, and challenging in the best way

All the instructors I’ve had so far have been fantastic: clear in their instructions, super encouraging, and easygoing. Great music and excellent facilities, too. I’ll definitely recommend this place

I decided to make a change for myself in 2022, so I joined the foundation class alone without any basic or techniques. Coach Vince has provided very good guidance, he is patient and helpful. Not forget to mention, the other coaches here are pretty good too! There’s something special in this place that makes people keep coming back for more. I love the community and work out! Thank you Grit Nation. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to learn and train.

I have a great experience at CrossFit Vidatha!. Coaches Madhu, Ridz, and John are incredible with both CrossFit and personal training — always supportive, knowledgeable, and encouraging.
Jen has been amazing in helping me lose weight and stay motivated. I lost 10 kg since the beginning of the year. Maybe for some of you doesn’t seem a lot but for me, that I struggle to lose, during menopause, it’s a lot.
Great team and very supportive!
Thanks to all of them, I feel stronger, fitter, and more confident. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to improve their fitness!

One of the earliest Crossfit box in town. It has top notch equipment n highly reputable coaches. Clean and well maintained box. Loving it here. Reasonable membership price as well.

My home box.
Wonderfully led by coach Madhu and supported by coach Ridz and coach John.
Expect a good sweat and great coaching each session.

Madhu and Ritz couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. The whole community at CrossFit Vidatha were so friendly and welcoming. I attended two classes here and had such memorable and worthwhile experiences on both occasions. The classes were excellent and the coaching was to a very good standard. The attention to detail from a simple air squat to a snatch was extremely admirable. Over all I had an excellent experience at CrossFit Vidatha and I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

John 很棒很親切，暖身、主訓練跟收操都很完整充實。

More than 5 stars for this crossfit gym!

So far, the best Drop-in we have done during our travels.

5 stars welcoming, coaching! really really enjoy our workout.

Thank you again coach !

A great box with great coaches and a tight community. I come here on and off – wouldn’t say I’m a very hard core CrossFit workout participant. But when I do, it’s always fun at Vidatha. Equipment is well maintained and there’s lots of good coffee and lunch options around while you’re in the area.

A nice gym for hiit classes. Fully equipped with alot of weights and barbells. Clean and pentiful parking.

The coaches were very nice and accomodating to all. A mix of weightlifting, cardio and bodyweight exercises.

Guarantee you will be fit if you are consistent.

Prices are reasonable compare to other gyms for these kind of classes.

If you have a desire to be strong mentally and physically and change your appearance with a positive outlook and to have fun while you workout Fuel Atheletic is the place. Coaches are good, helpful and fun people to workout with too. I enjoy workout every morning here with my Fuel family

Fuel is the place for you to learn new skills and be introduced to the world of CrossFit.

Their dedicated coaches and intimate space promise that you will have a workout worthy of any respectable discipline you would like to learn and achieve. This coupled with their attractive rates means CrossFit is accessible to you.

I’ve been going since Jan this year and honestly am such a big fan of this place. Super chill vibes and knowledgeable coaches.

If you’re all about community and good vibes, this is the place for you!

They consist of all the physical fitness component and functional trainings exercises. Love the environment and spirit with the members in the gym. Everybody is being supportive with each other

10/10 amazing experience would love to go back again! The coaches are very nice and use good equipment

Great workout studio for hyrox programmes. I signed up for a 3 class trial pass for a pretty decent rate ~30MYR per class.

Classes fill up quickly but if you’re on the first few waitlist you usually end up being able to join the class which was what happened for me.

The studio is closed till the class starts and the coaches open and run the classes themselves. Programme was challenging enough to get a very good workout.

Had a chat with one of the coaches and seems like this one of the top studios to train at for hyrox related prog, just look at the number of podium finishes.

Absolutely love the vibe of this this gym especially Better Humans class! The community here is amazing, and Coach Isabel has a way of making you want to show up. The strong mummies who attend are truly inspiring and push each other to be better.

We always feel those pre-class jitters, but leave with that incredible post-workout satisfaction. Isabel runs the session with purpose. Always starting with a dynamic warm-up, guiding us through an effective workout, and ending with a much-needed cool down.

If you’ve ever felt your workout routine isn’t working for you, I highly recommend trying this class or even signing up for PT with her – she really knows her stuff!”**

Loving this no-fluff gym! The workouts are structured, effective, and push you in the right way. No gimmicks, just proper training, solid equipment, and attentive no nonsense coaches. Hyrox engine classes are killer.

Arrived here early for Hyrox Class. The reception was great and the coach is super friendly. Thumbs up for the welcoming vibe of this community gym especially for first timers.

A place where you can train and have fun at the same time. Coaches at Afterburn are knowledgeable and amazing. Would recommend this studio to everyone with any fitness level to try their Cross training class, strength training and conditioning class!

Full transparency, I have not been to this gym. The one star review is a request for the gym goers here to please park at dedicated parking lots at Nadi or Alfa. The current haphazard parking on the road reduces it to a single lane and is an accident waiting to happen.

What sets Afterburn (“AB”) apart is the integrity of the owners and the team of passionate and well-qualified coaches who are committed to a positive fitness experience for its members. The owner is himself the head coach who personally curates the training and is on the ground on selected days training you and a group of other like-minded fitness enthusiasts. The studio and the bathrooms are always clean and properly equipped, while the community of regulars makes you feel welcome. All these factors lend a soul to AB which many generic franchises are sorely lacking in.

2 stars for the cheapest gym in KL but Annoying staffs that wont leave you alone to workout in peace. Not a gym for women as there are too many hamsap uncles here.

Terrible experience. I went for walk-in and the worker and manager would not stop harassing me to sign up for their membership while I was working out even though I told them I was not interested. Avoid if possible and look for other places.

Here was really good place for guys to saving their gym fee. Cheap price and fully equipment.
But rude altitude with those staff since I not logger to visit the gym room. After done all my work up a day I request for just a single cup of protein drink the staff directly get me a 5lbs protein ( King Whey ).At the moment I think like “what the heck bro I just came on the first day and I am a student didn’t have any income for paying.” I feel disappointed for the staff altitude by the way I won’t visit the gym room for the short period time.

They charge RM10 per entry, that time when i went to see the look and feel of the gym (surrounding of the place, equipments and etc) before signing up their packages.
The gym has 2 floor, the 1st floor is only for member and you only get to enjoy the level on the 2nd floor. However the equipment seemed pretty old and outdated. The cardio machine is also broken , the other two has a sign with “WALK ONLY, NO RUNNING” with so many spoiled button on.
I went around 9.30pm/ tuesday, its was still so crowded and it gets really uncomfortable cause there so many men looking at you. I would suggest to find other option if youre looking to be and a gym membership. However, can try and get their RM10 per entry to try first.

Friendly staff.
Old school gym with US machines.
Great location + air ventilation superb !

Trainer and member here all is knowledgeable. Will “short cut” to achieve what you want

Equipment old but well maintained, covid-19 SOP observed.
