Push Your Limits

I Have been training with the Personal Trainer Jonny BBad of Fortitude Barbell for about 10 years. With Jonny's help I have been able to lose 30 kg of body fat while achieving Australian and world powerlifting records for my age and weight class. I'm now 63 years of age and discovering the vitality and great health benefits of engaging a personal PT to coach, motivate and inform me on my health journey. For me there is no greater investment in life than in your health and with Jonny BBad and the Fortitude Barbell team working with you the return on investment is outstanding. Highly recommended.

I've known Jonny Bbad for over 15yrs and started out in the industry with him. The dude kept smashing it while I bowed out a few years later. Fast forward to today and I'm in my 2nd week of on-line training with Jonny due being in Melbourne. His knowledge is impeccable and the learnings I have from week 1 are far beyond anything I could have coached myself on. I had days where I swore at him and thankfully he wasn't around. I've put my picture in for reference as I want to see where this journey goes. I highly recommend these guys as I've been watching their success online since they launched. And now that I'm experiencing it myself, I am glad to be on board.

Fortitude Barbell will help you achieve everything you want and more. Jonny and Jamie both work under the presumption that a fun atmosphere is a productive atmosphere. They will push you 100% and always be in your corner no matter what. I recommend Fortitude Barbell to anybody who wants to achieve their fitness goals.

I started training with Jonny BBad in April 2013 and have hit so many personal goals and improved my strength, fitness and technique. Through Jonny I got into powerlifting and have competed at State and National meets and am part of a great team that really supports each other. Jonny, Jamie and the team have set up an amazing space to train in. I really can't recommend them enough, if you want results then call them today.

Great Atmosphere. Friendly, knowledgeable trainers. Especially if you're a beginner to strength training, Jamie & Johnny will help you realise your potential, & it's an amazing confidence boost seeing yourself lift more than you thought you ever could. Well priced considering the care they take in teaching proper technique & creating training programmes to suit your specific needs. I recommend to anyone, even if you just pop in for a look, or if you're serious about getting stronger & fitter. Trust me, you will no doubt be back for more. They even have group fitness classes to get in that all important cardio! Thanks guys!

This is the gym, where you can reach your goals. The coaching staff are highly qualified powerlifting and strength training coaches. They apply their knowledge by teaching you proper lifting technique, correcting errors and providing an individualised program which helps you to . The equipment is state-of-the-art ; the community welcoming and supportive.

More than a gym. It's a family. Great environment, great people, great coaches, great vibes. If you're looking to learn powerlifting in a supportive environment this is the place to be. I've been training here for the last 3 years and it's been the best decision! Went from never lifting to now competing. I've gained 10kg of strength in this time - I'm currently 66kg. I'm proud to say I've built a pretty solid three lift base - PBs: deadlift 140kg, bench 52kg, squat 107kg. If your even a little interested give it a go! Hope to see you around at the gym. 🤗

After training with the Fortitude Barbell coaches for about 5 years, I can honestly say I would never be able to go back to another gym. The community and training environment Jonny and Jamie have created is simply the best. You feel comfortable and confident in this space and it's the only time I've ever been able to stick to any type of exercise / training program. Everyone who trains here is friendly, helpful and will cheer you on whether you're lifting the bar or 300kg. 10/10, would lift again.

This is not only a gym, it is a community. There are no mirrors, there are no snow rooms, there is no air conditioning. But what is there is the best coaches in the country that are training world class lifters. The amazing thing is that they will train you too, and those world class lifters will cheer you on to your PB. This is a wonderful community of genuinely good people.
