JP founded TSF in 2017. He has coached lifters from complete beginners to the advanced to national and international championships.

He founded The Strength Fortress with the vision of creating a hub for strength and powerlifting training, where everyone could pursue barbell training in a safe environment with the best coaching, equipment and community possible.

Billie is the co-owner of TSF. She has been in the fitness industry for over ten years, nine of those involved in powerlifting specifically as a lifter, coach and referee. Billie has experienced a lot of personal growth via barbell training herself, which fuelled her passion for sharing it with others.

Her passion really lies with introducing people to the gym and the sport and supporting them as they build their confidence and competence in the gym environment for the first time.

Josh was a member of TSF for five years before joining our team in a coaching capacity. He knows the gym very well and is highly valued in our community.

Josh is a very accomplished lifter in his own right having represented Australia on the international stage. With his unique experience, Josh offers a valuable lens with which to view the sport of powerlifting, training and what it can offer you. His supportive presence, love for the sport and his competitive experience brings tremendous value and wisdom to our team.

Jeremy came to TSF with extensive coaching experience and an impressive resume. With a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science and six years of strength and conditioning coaching experience under his belt, he brings a keen eye and valuable technical knowledge to our team.

Jeremy is extremely passionate about powerlifting and brings a huge amount of energy to the gym and to competition days. He’s a delight to watch lift; even more so to have in your corner. His energy is unrivalled and we’re very stoked to have it around us.
