I first met JT (founder) on our Military Defence Force PTI course back in 2009. He took out the top student award convincingly. Dominated the course both theoretically and physically. JT is someone who understands in depth what it takes to be successful and you only have to look at what he has achieved already to see that. Having competed at Regionals in 2012, 2013 and 2014 he has a sound understanding of what it takes to be a competitive CrossFitter/athlete. If you need the edge to achieve your goals or want to reach your full potential as an athlete you MUST go and see Underground RX!

Love the programming! I put on 4kg's in the first six weeks following the Weightlifting and Muscle Endurance Specialty Programs and have noticed a massive increase in my lifting consistency. Also loving the alternating high volume and low volume training days. It works really well for me. Don't feel burnt out and I go into each session with a shitload of energy.

Huge thanks to Underground RX for their programming, coaching and guidance over the last 12 months, it's been nothing short of exceptional! It's not just 'programming' it's professional coaching!!! Sound strength and conditioning principles backed up with years of knowledge and experience!

When I first started CrossFit I had never done olympic lifting and couldn't do a pull up. Within 3 months under the guidance of Underground RX programming I was able compete at an RX level, had added kg's to my lifting and was strong enough do a muscle up. The results came quick, purely because the focus was on my weaknesses. Pretty soon I was one of the better athletes and was overwhelmed to qualify for Regionals, a goal of mine right from the start.

Underground RX comes down to the details, it's not just busting your balls day in and day out, but actually following a mapped out pathway of volume, intensity and working on your weaknesses to get you to your goals. You may think you are training pretty well but you will learn a lot after spending some time with Underground RX.

I've followed some other programs in my time but they have always lacked something or not been fully thought out. Joining Underground RX has been the best decision I've made when it comes to a smart structured program and I can put my hand on my heart and say that this is the fittest and strongest I have ever been.

I could never thank Underground RX for what they have done for me. If I had never made the decision to follow their programming there is no way I would be competing at the Regional level. I just want everyone to experience what following a real training program feels like where fatigue is monitored and training is adjusted each day to suit my daily needs.

The Underground RX Athlete Program opened my eyes to a method that was different to regular CrossFit programming. There is a lot more emphasis on quality and an intelligent approach using heart rate variability to determine the training volume each day and week. I 100% believe in the method and highly recommend the Underground RX Athlete Program to anyone looking for a huge advantage.
