Hey guys, I’m moving to Melbourne soon and I would love to know if anyone has any good gym recommendations for me. I’m not all that strong (460 Dl, 275 bench, 400sq) but I have been training powerlifting lately in a commercial gym, which is something I’d like to avoid when I move there.
If this is a stupid question due to the size of the city (I’m from a pretty small town in Norway so I guess I’m not used to big cities), I’d love something close-ish to Altona if it exists.
Apollon’s gym is supposed to be the best.
But your best bet if you are beginning powerlifting is go onto www.powerlifters.com.au
Make a question in there and you will have heaps of info from powerlifters in Melbourne.
(IPF mainly though).
Apollo is supposed to be great though I have never trained there.
Bodyworld in Balaclava is also full of serious lifters.
Personally I train at a garage gym called PTC (performance trainnig centre), its a little garage gym in Frankston. We focus on strength and have 3 comps per year, raw only. we also have over 40 individual 200kg deadlifters without any equiptment.
