Rooftop CrossFit Training Week on the Canggu Sunset Strip, Bali

CrossFit Canggu runs out of Fortitude Bali on level 3 of a building on Jl Pantai Berawa, Tibubeneng, in Canggu, Bali. The gym's defining feature is that it's open-air on the roof, with two levels used across different classes and clear views over Canggu. It's the only rooftop CrossFit box in Bali. Most of the daily training runs on a fixed class schedule rather than you turning up whenever you like.

On Mondays, classes land at 7:00, 8:00 (CrossFit), 9:00 (gymnastics) and 16:30, with open gym between 10:00 and 16:30 and again at 17:30. Tuesdays and Thursdays switch the 8:15 slot to Barbell Club (technique and heavy singles on Tuesday, barbell cycling and efficiency on Thursday) and the 9:30 slot to BCS, with full-body building at 17:30. Wednesdays and Fridays run Engine at 8:15 and full-body building or booty-focused work at 9:30. CrossFit classes sit at 7:00, 12:15 and 16:15 all week. Saturdays are shorter: Engine 8:00–9:00, Super Saturday 9:00–10:00, Barbell Club 10:00–11:00, open gym 11:00–13:00. Sundays start with open gym 7:30–9:00, Sunday Sweat at 9:00, then open gym until 13:00.

Class programming is varied and high-intensity: Olympic lifting, gymnastics and cardio all show up across a week. Sessions are scaled to whoever is in the room, so Olympic weightlifting newcomers and experienced lifters train side by side — one reviewer, dropping into an Olympic lifting class for the first time, said the class was small enough that the coach could watch her form and correct it throughout.

What separates this from other Canggu boxes is the coaching roster and the rooftop itself. Coach Sergio holds CrossFit L3 certification, specialises in Olympic lifting and gymnastics, and has a track record of coaching children, so families introducing kids to CrossFit are catered for. Coach Yunus holds CrossFit L2 and won Fittest in Indonesia in 2021; his HIIT classes combine cardio and strength, and he has coached members to their first pull-up, muscle-up and handstand push-up. Both coaches take personal training, one-to-one or small group.

Practical perks that come with the gym: showers stocked with shampoo and body wash, complimentary towels, hairdryers. Parking is available behind the building and underneath the gym. A smoothie after class is a thing regulars mention — one repeat visitor said not to forget it. Fortitude Bali also runs a monthly Fortitude Social at 4:30pm on a Friday: a workout followed by a social gathering for members. Bookings run through the gym's website or the Wodify app; drop-ins can also be arranged by email or WhatsApp with your name, class type, date and time.
