The Maverick Story
Maverick Strength & Conditioning Equipment is a family owned and operated business run by husband and wife team, Chris & Marie Saliba on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.
As some of the earliest adopters of the CrossFit methodology in Australia (2009), there was simply no local off the shelf equipment options for items like pull up rigs available at the time – and importing from the USA was cost prohibitive. Solving this problem was what eventually led to starting Maverick Strength & Conditioning Equipment.
Like many success stories, Maverick has grown organically from a garage operation serving mostly local customers to a business that regularly ships interstate. The goal for Maverick from the start was simple: to provide quality equipment at a fair price, to treat customers with respect and to provide service and products based on passion and expertise.
As chief of operations, Chris’ background combining 10 years in the Royal Australian Airforce as both an Aircraft Technician and Physical Training Instructor and eventually CrossFit Affiliate (Coastal CrossFit Queensland est 2009) along with his personal experience of competing in the CrossFit Games Australasian Regionals in 2010-2011-2012 and as State Champion Olympic Weightlifter gives him a relatively unique blend of experience that lends itself perfectly to understanding and serving the equipment needs of the functional fitness community.
As Maverick continues to grow, we are committed to continual improvement of all aspects of our service based on our own product testing as well as valued customer feedback. If you are in the market for functional fitness equipment, we would love to hear from you.
