Play Fitness & Performance was founded in 2014 by Khan Porter, a 9-time CrossFit Games competitor who brought elite-level experience and standards to Sydney’s fitness community. Khan’s vision was to create a gym where performance and accessibility coexisted—where members could work toward competition standards and prescribed weights while maintaining a sense of fun and never taking themselves too seriously.
That foundation—pursuing excellence without pretension—continues to define who we are today. We’ve been a CrossFit affiliate for over 12 years, and as our members’ interests evolved, so did we. The expansion to Play Fitness & Performance reflects the changing landscape of fitness and our commitment to meeting our community where they are, whether that’s CrossFit, HYROX, Hybrid training, youth development, or personalized coaching.
Now led by owner Sam Sullivan, Play has grown, offering multiple training programs while maintaining the coaching quality and welcoming culture. We’re more than a gym—we’re a community of people committed to getting better, supporting each other, and enjoying the process.
