ABOUT US.
CROSSFIT 4740
WELCOME!
Located at the Mackay Showgrounds, on the edge of the CBD our humble CrossFit Gym is a haven for functional fitness here in Mackay! We are well known for our friendly coaches, our friendly supportive community and we also have all the functional training tools you need so you never have to spend your time waiting for equipment.
You’ll love training here with us! Our coaches are always there for you, whether that’s in group classes or if you prefer private coaching. At CrossFit 4740, we’ll push you outside your comfort zone but we’ll make it fun where you probably won’t even realise it!
SPECIALISED COACHING
Our professionally trained and expert coaches actively coach each class that you attend. Personal coaching like this would normally cost a fortune in traditional gyms, but here at CrossFit 4740, the coaching session is included in all our memberships.
FUNCTIONAL TRAINING
Our program uses functional movements that your body is naturally designed to do, combining elements of cardio, gymnastics, weightlifting, cycling, rowing, and more to improve your overall fitness in a balanced way.
COMMUNITY
At CrossFit 4740, our community is our greatest strength. You’ll make lifelong friends to help inspire, challenge and motivate you. We train together, socialise together, and inspire each other to do our best and achieve our best!
KIDS ZONE - UNSUPERVISED
Need to train but have kids tagging along? At CrossFit 4740 we have a designated Kids Zone (unsupervised). Please note it is still up to you to supervise your kids during the class and make sure they stay in this area.

OUR PROGRAMMERS
LUKE DE JONG
I’m a 2000s Woonona kid who grew up outdoors doing everything from basketball to underwater hockey. I was even homeschooled on a farm for a year—riding motorbikes at lunchtime—until Mum had enough of me mucking around and sent me back to school. At primary and high school, I was athletics and cross-country champ every year, obsessed with anything physically challenging, especially if I could compete. I originally wanted to go pro in soccer but switched to CrossFit after falling in love with its intensity. In 2017, I represented Australia in the teen division, and ever since I’ve been chasing my dream of becoming an individual competitor.
Along the way, I earned my Cert III/IV, CrossFit Level 1, and a degree in Exercise Physiology (UOW, 2022). I’ve competed nationally in both CrossFit and powerlifting and have over a decade of experience in competitive CrossFit. My passion lies in CrossFit and strength & conditioning programming. I’ve coached since 2017—working with elite names like Sonny Webster and Andrew Lock—and have experience across affiliate, youth athletic development, and kids programs.
When programming, I blend CrossFit methodology with elements of the conjugate method and smart progressions. My goal is always the same: fun, challenging, and varied workouts that get people excited to train. My proudest achievement? Being known for fun, effective programming that brings out the best in every member.
