Proper Gym in Melbourne, Australia

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.

Thanks in advance. :slight_smile:

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).

Go check out Apollo, it’s in Footscray, not too far from Altona.

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.

Sounds good guys, thanks for all of the replies so far!
