Small attention to detail in how you are performing and contracting through these movements can make a world of difference in your back development. The workshop is at 5pm on Friday the 5th of June. Limited to 10 spots so get in quick. This workshop is not limited to members so first in first served. DM us or @murray_calcutt_classic to secure your spot.

24.01.2022 From tomorrow Funky Shirt Wednesday will be returning! Mental Health is something we feel very passionate about here at Strength Sanctuary. Knowing what it feels like to battle your demons has given us a lot of compassion towards anyone doing it tough so we want people to know the Sanctuary is a safe and supportive environment. We believe resistance training is a very useful tool in helping aid poor mental health. Thats why for the next 2 months casual visits on Wednesdays will be $10 when you wear a funky shirt and 100% of the money will go to a charity supporting mental health.

Free weights, plate loaded machines, cardio, outdoor conditioning and weight training areas and no waiting on equipement.

17.01.2022 Member Appreciation Post! It great to see our members growing. We are proud of Tristans progress over the last couple of months. His deadlifts have come a long way. But like everything, there is still room for improvement. The lifts are becoming more and more consistent each week. We are constantly pushing him to his limits taking a progressive overload approach. As the weights grow, Tristan will too. Not only physically but just as importantly, mentally. Well done brothe...r, keep pushing forward. #TeamSS

16.01.2022 Swipe for another Sanctuary Transformation. Its been awesome to witness Lucas transformation over the last 18 months gaining a massive 19kg but the even more impressive changes have been in his posture and confidence. "I started training to get fit again and work on my posture. I never realised how much it would help me with my confidence. Thanks to Oran and Nic I was able to achieve my goals at the sanctuary." @ Strength Sanctuary

14.01.2022 Proud dad moment. Ryan Cameron experience over the last 6 months "I have been training on and off for 5 years since I finished school, I never got the results I wanted because I realise now that I didnt commit to training and never had any consistency. I had a small home gym so I was a bit hesitant to join a gym however since coming to strength sanctuary I have made more progress in the last 6 months than the previous 5 years. The atmosphere really motivates me and I now always look forward to coming in. My mental and physical health have improved hugely since I started the program that Oran has put me on and overall Im much happier with myself."

13.01.2022 The results you achieve within the gym are the reflection of the changes within yourself. It is a positive mindset and application of habits, the challenging of previously held beliefs and the creation of new habits, where real change occurs. This period has given us all, Strength Sanctuary included, significant time to reflect on what is important. It is now time to set some new goals. This self-assessment, when taken seriously, will have tremendous implications on every ar...ea of your life. We have all used times of uncertainty and turmoil to refocus and pivot towards things that are positive. These questions led to the creation of Strength Sanctuary. We now provide these to you: Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers" Tony Robbins Why do you do it? (How will it impact you/ others?) Who do you need to be to achieve it? How would that person be thinking? What would that person be actively doing? How will it feel? ( confidence/opportunities ) Why is it worth while? What would I Need to believe to be true to achieve it? What resources do I have around me that I am not utilising or could be utilising to a greater degree? ( time, organisation, people, food, support, freedom )

08.01.2022 A few words from @rowanherklots on his training experience. First photo is his progression since beginning his training at The Sanctuary. "Growth isnt just physical. Strength Sanctuary has taught me the importance of putting yourself in an environment to grow as a person. Surrounding yourself with like minded people is one of the greatest motivators Ive ever experienced and I have learnt so much about training and myself at this gym (clich, I know). But in all honesty, moving into strength has forced me to grow in a way I never couldve expected but it was exactly what I needed. So thank you to everyone for creating the environment we all cherish so much "

04.01.2022 Knowing the basic principles behind weight loss and weight gain is essential if youre putting hours in the gym. A calorie deficit is a state where youre expending more energy than youre consuming, which leads to weight loss. A calorie surplus is a state where you have consumed more calories than youve used, therefore causing you to gain weight. Keeping this in mind, the more muscle you have, the more energy you will need to simple maintain. Get strong, put muscle on and drop body fat.

03.01.2022 A huge congratulations to wazza Michael Wawrzyniak for pulling his first 300kg this morning in the Sanctuary. Consistency over a long period of time is what allows goals to eventuate, it doesnt matter if your goal is strength based, weighted based or visual based, keep at it.

03.01.2022 "You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." - Marcus Aurelius Photographer: @lifeportraits_fitness

02.01.2022 Sophies One Year Progression. Massive improvements in overall strength & body composition. Before she started she was aprehebsive about training, she has since learnt to embrace it and now trains most days. "Before starting at Strength Sanctuary, I had the belief that weights would make me look too muscly. I often stuck to cardio and lacked the confidence and knowledge to use the machines and free weights. Since working with Oran, I have gained the knowledge and confidence to use the machine and free weights independently. With consistent training I was able to recover quickly from my ACL surgery and I was back in the gym, two weeks later. I have improved my overall figure, strength, confidence, posture and reduced my lower back pain."
