The Strength Fortress

I trained at The Strength Fortress for a good part of two years prior to covid. The strength training knowledge i gained from the excellent trainers at TSF I still use till this day to keep me injury free.

The Strength Fortress isn’t just a gym, it’s a family. A place where we go to not only achieve physical strength, but a space where kinship is formed. If you have gym related anxieties, because gyms to you in the past have seemed intimidating, the Fort is not going to be that. It isn’t a commercial atmosphere, where some of us can feel out of place or overwhelmed. Our gym is banter central with an inclusive and encouraging network of members. You are never too small, or too big to be a part of a gym. Judgment isn’t part of the TSF culture. You will surprise yourself, and gain confidence from being amidst one for the most supportive groups in powerlifting.

Great environment. Super friendly and inclusive.

I'm a little guy, a bit of a nerd and not super blokey. I was worried it would be all meat heads and testosterone. It isn't like that at all. Just a really good bunch of people getting stronger.

I feel really comfortable as a beginner. There are people there lifting incredible weights but nobody makes you feel dumb. JP and Matt are supportive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

JP and Matt are incredible. The gym is friendly, well equipped and welcoming. They’ve helped me create some of my own PB’s and I would highly recommend making this your gym.

What a facility and coaches to go with it.

JP, Matt and Billie all are dedicated fitness coaches but specifically powerlifting. I really have enjoyed my time training here and couldn’t have asked for more supportive leaders.

Gym is fully equipped with Eleiko racks and dumbbells for any different movements.

Gym doesn’t get too busy either so training in the evenings is no sweat.

The strength fortress is a home for powerlifters and strength athletes of all abilities. Since its doors opened, the coaches have poured themselves into developing a culture which is both inclusive and competitive.

Training here, you’ll not only have access to comp spec equipment like Eleiko and Samtek but also a system of coaching which has been refined by years of experience. I’ve witnessed the head coach, John Paul Cauchi, a world champion powerlifter, bring out the best in so many people.

I started training at the strength fortress after moving interstate from Sydney and I’m so grateful for finding my second family here.

I’ve been a member of this tribe for the best part of 3 years. This is a world class facility with an amazing culture for people of all experience levels.

Through this gym I’ve not only made some amazing lifelong friends but also fallen in love with powerlifting in the process.

If you are looking for a new gym and someone to guide you through your lifting journey, ask for JP - you won’t be disappointed.

I have been a regular attendee of The Strength Fortress for close to 18 months. How fortunate am I for finding a place that is so welcoming, professional and gets the utmost best out of my ability!

I am a part of a morning team and I can honestly say I adore every member of my group. We are what a team represents. Tie this in with all the right equipment and expert trainers, you find a match made in heaven.

Thank you Th Strength Fortress for all that you have done for me!

This is a great gym. If you want to train among friends and get strong, this is the place. It's a very basic set up, but it's perfect for Powerlifting and maybe even Olympic Weightlifting. The membership includes programming and coaching. I would recommend this place to someone who wants to start in Powerlifting.
Unfortunately I couldn't join as a member because the location didn't suit the rest of my training group.

Can’t find a better powerlifting gym than this. Spacious environment and great equipment!
JP is a great coach, not only has he helped me, he’s also very professional and committed to helping all of his clients. If you want to achieve your goals in powerlifting, I highly recommend you join the strength fortress.

I've been training at TSF for over 4 months now and I can honestly say it's the best decision I've made since I started powerlifting. There are few places I've ever felt as welcome and at home! JP is an awesome coach and mentor and all my fellow members are all such kind, friendly, awesome individuals - the sense of community here is really quite amazing. I cannot recommend TSF more highly.

Got a chance to visit today and felt very welcomed. The venue has a lot of great equipment and you're surrounded by so many strong and like minded people.

Great place to get strong.
