Butterfly Effect Competition 2025 – What a Weekend!

Over the weekend of June 28th, we had four amazing teams represent CrossFit 4010 at the Butterfly Effect competition at CrossFit Napier – and what a time they had!

Most of these athletes have been training through our group CrossFit classes and comp classes here at our Gisborne gym for six months to a year, with many returning after competing in 2024 and loving the experience. This year we sent one scaled, two intermediate, and one advanced team – each bringing energy, determination, and a great sense of fun.

The atmosphere was incredible, with big crowds, tough workouts, and what might just be NZ’s best DJ, keeping everyone hyped and moving. Events like this always seem to bring out the best in people — and the Butterfly Effect is no exception.

A massive shoutout to one of our intermediate teams who smashed it with a 2nd place podium finish, all while having an absolute blast. It’s a huge achievement and a great example of how consistent functional fitness training and focused goal-setting can pay off.

Competitions like this are more than just fitness events — they’re about stepping outside your comfort zone, staying motivated, and training with purpose. Whether you're already part of our CrossFit Gisborne community or thinking about joining, these moments remind us why we love what we do.

This was a great way to spend the weekend away with the CrossFit 4010 crew heaps of first timers giving a comp a go and finding out they can do far more then what they thought they could. Big shout out to Eva and Liz for giving it a go even though there were tones of factors that would have scared most away. 

Here's a small review from Regan White who with his partner Bruce Hill placed 3rd in the masters division: 

This past weekend I competed in the 1st ever 2Toa Crossfit Pairs Competition, hosted by Crossfit Rotorua. It was a same gender competition which my partner and myself competed in the Masters division. The Masters division being for those aged 40 years and over. There were 6 workouts in total over a 2 day period. The workouts involved swimming, SUP paddle boarding, weightlifting, gymnastics, Angkorr and ZUU. All of these workouts tested your strength, cardio, endurance, mobility, coordination and team work. Crossfit Rotorua ran a well organised comp considering it was their 1st time hosting an event of this size. I would definately recommend 2Toa to anyone looking to compete in a Crossfit competition from beginners right through to experienced. Regan White - Team Ruce.

Heres a small review from Pep and Jo: 

Two2Tango was an awesome event Huge with lots of competitor’s in each division’s but very well organised.  The standards are pretty high compared to some other comps but I suppose it gives you an incentive to work harder!

We were both super stoked to have come away 4th in our division of 83 our aim was just to try and finish the wods within the given time caps and we did.  At the end of day one’s three wods we were sitting at 7th and on day two we managed to move up after each wod from 7th to 6th, 5th and finished at 4th that was really cool we were happy with that.  We had an awesome support crew cheering us on as well J

What’s next:  Pep said he’s looking forward to 2TOA at the end of this month, he would like to try and get stronger in his lifts, work on his weaknesses and try and make it to the Nationals next year!

As for myself I would like to work on getting a better technique for my lifts, try and get stronger as well and work on my gymnastics side lol!

Our Master Ed and Jeni also competed and walked away with an amazing 24th placing coach Jody said "they were amazing, lots of laughs and just gave everything a go and took it in their stride. By all account it was a good comp with a great range of athletes and definitely one to get to if your looking for a kick start comp. 

We are running CrossFit for kids over the holiday and after school. 

Here's just a fraction of what we get up to at our CrossFit Kids Programme. If you think your child would like to attend get in touch with us.

All up the ladies enjoyed the competition and are looking at their next adventure.
