Iron Underground

Exceptional Powerlifting Gym with an Incredible Coach

Rating: ️️️️️ (5/5)

I have been a member of this powerlifting gym for the past two years, and I cannot express enough how much it has positively impacted my fitness journey. The gym, along with its exceptional coach, Paul, has been instrumental in helping me achieve my powerlifting goals.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced lifter, you'll find everything you need to excel in your training.
The member here are supportive and friendly and always willing to lend you help. It’s a place where you can find encouragement, and shared passion for powerlifting.

Authenticity & dynamic are the words that come to mind when I think this gym. Iron Underground gives you a different take to powerlifting. Not only about the aesthetics but also strength goals are achieved with everyone with a common goal which sets that’s aside from a commercial gym. The owner/coach is very knowledgeable really tweaks out those habits which makes you a better lifter and athlete.

Iron Underground is original and authentic. IU members and PTs alike create an atmosphere that supports you to achieve your best without ego. The ethos, equipment and genuine mateship is unmatched.

If you're searching for the ultimate powerlifting experience, don't look any further. Iron Underground is the place to be, where strength and unity meet the sweet melodies of iron. Train like a champion, be welcomed like family, and remember that legends are made within these sacred walls.

So happy to be a member of this hard working gym. My trainer/ owner Paul and with a wealth of knowledge only ask one thing of me, when you enter the gym be prepared to work hard. Paul ensures your technique is paramount with every rep to get the most out your session… the team at IU are also very enthusiastic and encouraging and enjoy your achievement with you … if getting stronger is goal make sure you contact Brisbanes original powerlifting gym and let Paul guide you to your success.

Iron Underground is the place to train in Brisbane if you want no frills back to basics training that works to get you stronger and healthier over the long term. Paul has really been the only trainer who understands how to train different people with different physical challenges and doesn’t put in place cookie cutter programs with only one plan or approach. If you want lots of “fluff”, big screens and mirrors to pose in when you do your bicep curls in the squat rack then you probably need to look elsewhere:)

Paul is such an amazing trainer. Helps you achieve your goals. I came into this gym knowing little about lifting and didn’t expect myself to lift the weights I’m lifting now. This is all thanks to Paul and his amazing gym at Iron Underground.

A ‘one of a kind’ gym. Absolute standout within the powerlifting community.
I love how the gyms history is plastered all over its walls. Just goes to show it’s dedication, participation and how it’s been ‘home’ to some outstanding athletes within the powerlifting community.
Well done Paulie T

Great gym. So much better than a commercial gym. Love the equipment. Absolutely worthwhile if you are looking to get stronger. I train with Hannah who is a great exercise scientist with lots of knowledge and is a very impressive powerlifter!

I have just reffed at a powerlifting comp at Iron Underground. It's a great venue, the comp was well organised, and every time I've been to IU, I've felt welcome!
I thoroughly recommend Iron Underground!

If you are serious about lifting or getting bigger, than check out the Iron Underground. But beware, phones are banned on the gym floor.

Professional and has a very good understanding of individuals weaknesses; and turns them into strengths! He will PUSH you to a point you never knew existed; and you'll always leave wanting MORE. AMAZING

Extremely knowledgeable coaches with experience and world class athletes under them. Best equipped strength training gym I've seen, and I don't say that lightly. Gym also has great, old school training philosophy's, which I dare say are contributing factors in its success.

No pretentious garbage, no looking pretty. If you're after a gym which will challenge you, this is the place for you! Paul is hugely knowledgeable in all areas of powerlifting and runs his gym accordingly. If you want results, support and someone directly watching over you to ensure you reach your peak then you can not go past Iron Underground. I genuinely look forward to every time I train here.

I went to Paul seeking rehab for a long term leg injury. He fixed it and more. His professionalism, knowledge and ability to push you are incredible. Yes it was uncomfortable. Yes he drove me beyond what I expected. And yes, it was worth it. If you want a trainer and gym that does what they say they will and delivers results, then this is THE place to be, and Paul is the bloke to see.
