The sense of community at TSF is something really special. I quickly noticed that no matter how experienced you are or how much weight you’re lifting, if someone’s going for a PB or celebrating a win, the whole gym gets behind them with encouragement and support.

I joined TSF back in 2017. Originally I joined out of a genuine interest in strength training and was curious about what my body could do; moreover, do it under the tutelage of someone I looked up to within the powerlifting community. Over the years and thousands of reps later, it has become less of a gym and more of a second home with a warm and loving family of lifters all the more ready to cheer and support everyone's pursuit to get stronger. I always feel welcome and look forward to training every session alongside my friends as we spot, load and work in together.

I have been training at The Strength Fortress since October 2019. In that time I have found a love for powerlifting, I've improved my self confidence, learned many lessons that go far beyond the weights room and have become part of a community of amazing people. The Strength Fortress is the most welcoming place with a group of members committed to cheering you on and celebrating you regardless of if you're lifting 10kgs or 100kgs. Rather than being an intimidating space which most gyms are, TSF is an environment for everyone to feel like they belong and a place where you can achieve your strength goals regardless of what they are. Reaching out to Billie all those years ago was the best decision I have made and one that I wish I had done much sooner.
