BUTTERFLY EFFECT GOLD COAST 2025

A fitness event series that unites us as one community. Focusing on what are bodies are capable of, rather than what we look like.

Experience the world’s largest celebration of female movement with The Butterfly Effect, where we believe in the power of community and strength in unity. Together, we showcase just how powerful we are as women.

For the first time ever we are offering a CASH prize to the Advanced division of $5250!!

The Format:

The Butterfly Effect is an all-female functional fitness competition for teams of 3, offering divisions for Beginners, Intermediate, Masters (35+) and Advanced athletes.

Teams will tackle 4 workouts over the course of the day, with workouts released months in advance to give you plenty of time to prepare. Our divisions are designed for all fitness levels, from first-timers to seasoned athletes, and you don’t need to be a ‘CrossFitter’ to join! The Beginner division focuses on accessible movements and will not include complex techniques like Snatching or advanced Gymnastics.
