Iron Underground

ABOUT

Established in 2010 by owner and head coach Paul Thompson, Iron Underground has grown from small beginnings; when we first opened we had only 5-6 pieces of equipment and a single barbell to our name. These days our 300 square meter facility contains a fully equipped free-weight focused strength gym with all the power cages, speciality bars and a competition specific lifting platform that we need to support our expanding membership.

We also have a team of highly qualified and experienced strength, conditioning and powerlifting coaches who are dedicated to helping our members achieve their health and fitness goals; whether it be a beginner wanting to start their journey into strength training, or an elite level powerlifter preparing for their next competition.

OUR FACILITIES

Here we believe in having the best equipment available so we can produce the best strength athletes possible and also provide the greatest training experience we can for trainees, whatever their goals.
