Im totally stoked to say I now own and operate the best powerlifting, strongman and general strength & conditioning gym in the Moreton Bay region, Brisbane North Barbell, located in Brendale. Only 5mins walk south of Strathpine train station and 5mins drive west of the Bruce Highway. What started as 8x4m dream in my parents garage is now a 250m2 fully functional gym with big plans to only get bigger and better. My gym offers: 3 power racks, each with 2 J hooks and 2 safety racks allowing 1 lifter inside and 1 lifter outside of the rack. 4 deadlift platforms. 3 GPC competition grade bench presses. 2.5 tonnes of weight plates, with more to come. 6 big ass industrial fans ready for summer. 11 barbells, more coming soon. 50m2 of free space for strongman training, group/circuit/boxing sessions or possible olympic lifting area. Force USA GHR, squat stands and bumper plates coming soon. Light and Heavy battle ropes. Strongman equipment: Yoke, 2x farmer walks, log, axel bar, kegs, atlas stone and tyres with plenty more to come soon. Freeweights area: Adjustable dumbbells, kettlebells, 2x ezy curl bars, tricep bar, trap bar. Training accessories: Bands, mini bands, chains, fat gripz (both red and blue), board presses, sling shot, globe gripz, hand X bands, 20kg weight vest, torsonator plus handles, ab mat, ab rollers, front squat/zercher squat harness, dip/chin up belt, wrist roller, manta ray, heel block, calf raise block, bicep blaster, 20kg power bag and more. Mobility: Foam rollers, rumble rollers, speed stick, trigger point balls and more. Available for use: Chalk, sniffing salts, water cooler, fridge, microwave, bag rack, cube storage area for leaving equipment. Available for sale: Protein powders, sports supplements and lifting equipment. Boxing: Gloves, focus mitts, kick pad, skipping rope and hopefully a heavy bag and speed ball soon. Barefoot lifting! All powerlifters know the big 3 - squat, bench press and deadlift. With regards to powerlifting gyms I believe that in brisbane north side there are the big 3 - PTC Brisbane, Strength Sports Gym and Iron Underground. Each gym, their owner and lifting community has helped me forge to the foundations of my gym and I hope to one day earn the same respect in the industry that they have all achieved. I am not trying to copy what they do but instead offer my own approach to Strength, Conditioning and Nutrition. My sincere thanks to Scott, Nick and Paul for all their help over the past few months. Thanks to my wife, family, friends, clients and gym members. Without your encouragement and support this would have never been possible. Thanks also to Bench Polkov from who I purchased my first Force USA commercial grade power rack when Gold Coast Barbell was shutting down and where I was originally inspired to set up my own gym. And additional thanks to those in the industry that have helped me along the way. Whether you are looking for a gym in a convenient location, want to try some powerlifting/strongman or simply sick of commercial gym bullshit and want a serious place to train, please check out what Brisbane North Barbell can offer. Thanks.
