You can have the perfect program. The best shoes. The smartest tracker on your wrist.
But none of it comes close to this one thing: the people you train with.

At CrossFit Martell in Malta (Gzira), we don’t just show up for ourselves. We show up for each other. That’s what makes the difference. That’s why training here works — and why it keeps working.

Training Alone Builds Discipline. Training Together Builds Fire.

Sure, you could work out alone. Headphones in, head down, grind it out.
But let’s be honest — that motivation runs out fast.

Now picture this:
You’re on your last round. Everything hurts. You want to quit.
But someone yells your name. Another one runs next to you.
Now you’re not quitting — you’re flying.

That’s group training. That’s CrossFit. That’s Martell.

People Push People. Always Have, Always Will.

This isn’t a motivational poster. It’s human biology.
When you're around others pushing hard, you push harder. That’s not hype — it’s fact.

We’ve watched people hit their first pull-up, their first double-under, their first finish-without-quitting WOD — all because someone beside them refused to let them tap out.

This doesn’t happen on a treadmill with Netflix on.

No One Cares How Fit You Are. They Care That You Show Up.

We don’t have space for egos. What we do have is a room full of people who:

  • Suffer together
  • Laugh in between gasps for air
  • Celebrate every win, no matter how small

Whether you’re new to CrossFit or chasing your next PR, we’ve got one rule: you don’t train alone.

This Is Why People Stick With It

Gyms come and go. Motivation fades.
But when you train with a crew that has your back — even when you’re slow, sore, or second-guessing yourself — that’s what keeps you coming back.

You don’t want to let them down.
And they won’t let you.

Looking for a Gym in Malta? You Just Found One That Feels Like Home.

At CrossFit Martell, we don’t care if you’re fast, flexible, or fresh off the couch.
We care that you work. We care that you show up.
And if you do? We’ll meet you there, every damn time.
