We are a boutique strength and conditioning facility in East Brisbane. Offering PT, group strength, classes, exercise physiology and more.

We are a strength and conditioning gym based in Flinders Street, Townsville. We advocate the foundations of strength training in combination with whole-body conditioning for a well-rounded lifestyle. We’re experts in our field and implement cutting-edge fitness philosophies alongside the best of the ‘old stuff’ that is tried, tested and guaranteed to work.

Throughout the year our coaching clients participate in a series of 6 week periodised phases which differ in design but offer a superior environment for fat loss and muscle adaptation.

Hammer Athletic utilises PUSH Band technology to optimise our athletes’ training regime and results to provide us with actionable workout analytics that will take your coaching to new levels.

We are and will always be community based, family owned and here to bring you the best in health and fitness – and we do all that with a stupid joke, a smile on our face and a fantastic soundtrack.

The rise in fitness facilities or gyms promoting ‘STRENGTH’ OR ‘FUNCTIONAL’ classes to build strength and ‘FUNCTIONALITY’ is a contentious...

Matt is the best at what he does, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with him over the years and the energy he brings to each session is like no other coach I have ever had.

Sometimes in pro football strength training doesn't get the priority it should. Knowing the importance of strength and conditioning I contacted  Matt and the team at Hammer and together we implemented a great program for the off season which got in great shape for my best season as a professional footballer. Can't thank them enough.

I can’t thank the coaches enough at hammer athletic designing a program specifically for me and what I’ve needed, pointing out strengths and weaknesses to help me with my ongoing rehab, strength and conditioning training

I have been training with these guys for about two years now and they are tremendous. All are tertiary trained and there is strong science behind their programming which is always tailored to individual needs. During the time I have trained with them I have advanced both my overall strength and technique which has worked well to keep me injury free. The business has evolved over the last two years and Matt and team are continually looking for ways to improve the client experience. Their new Strength and Conditioning program is the right mix of challenge and support and great value for money. Spending less than a $100 per week for personalised attention in a group strength environment is a great investment in your healthy future. Just give them a go.

When it comes to personal training and coaching there are loads of options out there but Hammer Athletic really are the best. The highly credentialed coaching team was the main reason I chose to attend the 2017 Hammer coaching program. Their training programs have not only allowed me to improve my knowledge and abilities as an athlete but also as a coach. Training at Hammer is always motivating and there is never a dull moment. I would definitely recommend to anyone!

The Hammer Athletic Coaching Clinic was an invaluable practical and theoretical experience. During the 6-week clinic, I improved my knowledge around exercise prescription and periodisation which were areas I lacked in after my completion of my Physiotherapy course. Now I have the confidence to apply these principles to all my patients. The coaching clinic is practical, evidence based and a bit of fun. Anyone coach wanting to further knowledge about strength and conditioning and sport science should get involved.

If you are ever looking for a place to train that is uncensored, invigorating and most importantly feels like home head to Hammer Athletic. I've worked in several gyms and I've never seen people who care so much for their clients. They talk the talk and follow it up by walking the walk. They don't see you as a dollar sign, they don't try and boast that they are the best gym in Brisbane (which they are), they work hard because they truly care for the health and wellbeing of each and every person who walks in the door. The only reason I've hit PBs and surpassed my goals both in fitness and body composition is because of them. Hammer is not only fitness, it's family - check them out.

I have trained here for 2 years now and during this time i have lost 8+% in BF, and seen an average 20% increase across my major lifts, let alone acquiring new skills in Olympic Lifting! A great group of people, that are far too qualified to be called personal trainers. Its not like any other gym i've been to, and i wont be trying any more. I've referred friends and family here, and no one has looked back! Keep it up!

I've been training with the Ham FAM now for several years and proud to say I've been a member since opening. Incredible facility, wonderful team, ridiculously good culture and easily the most knowledgeable, trained, educated trainers. Absolute students to the science and techniques and ensuring the best training methodology available and delivered in a way even a retard like me can adopt. Absolute privilege to work with. Thanks all.

Hammer Athletic is my happy place and my second home. I’ve been training with Matt Ham for 11 years now and have followed him around Brisbane training at four different gyms. That’s a fkload of pain, a lot of sweat, a truck load of swearing and inappropriate conversations, a shitload of laughs, and more importantly numerous PBs. I’ve become stronger, leaner and fitter than I could possibly have imagined. I absolutely love learning the Olympic lifting and weight training that we do! The culture and community environment that the team have created, along with their crack team of knowledgeable trainers, surpasses any of the training environments where I’ve worked out.

This is a sensational place to work out and train. The trainers and the team are top notch. They make you feel more than just a client they make you feel like family. Great atmosphere and the facilities are always improving and evolving.

We are a boutique gym and will always be community based, family owned and here to bring you the best in health and fitness – and we do all that with a stupid joke, a smile on our face and a fantastic soundtrack.

Fantastic experience: You won’t find a better gym in town. Knowledgable coaches, friendly crew and clearly well-thought out strength and conditioning programs.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I have joined. Trainers really know what they are doing. Listened to my concerns and limitations and gave me a program to rebuild. Classes are fun and always varied. Very cost effective too. No pretention.

Chris Ham 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: One of if not the best facility to get you healthy, strong and conditioned catering to all your needs. You have options of one on one professional sessions or group strength sessions (my favourite) which means you rarely workout alone. Check out there website for other awesome offers. It's all about the science with all trainers being tertiary educated and leaders in there field.

Fantastic experience: If you want somewhere authentic, personalised and that actually knows what it is doing head to Hammer Athletic. Their coaches are second to none, they know you by name and you always feel welcome/exhausted by the time you leave. I now live overseas and I come back to Hammer every time I'm home and they still treat me like part of the family. I've been to gyms that claim to be the best in Brisbane and the same in London and Hammer Athletic outdoes them in every single way. Thank you to Matt and Kri for creating a gym that is so effective yet affordable.

Fantastic experience: I love Hammer Athletic! Initially I was terrified to join a smaller gym, but I am so glad I did. The coaches are so knowledgeable, happy to have a laugh and actually care about your progress! Plus they really take the time to show you proper technique, so you know you are maximising each workout. After years of paying for a membership I never used and getting lost in the bigger gym chains, I’m so happily committed to this place now - Highly, highly recommend!

Lindelle Harris 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym! Perfect for all levels - as the coaches will tailor the session to your ability, without judgment. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and love a joke, the training sessions are really well planned and challenging, and the gym itself is well set up and has everything you need! The crèche facility in particular has been an absolute lifesaver!

Kelly Munro 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: The team at Hammer are one of a kind. This place is not your normal PT studio. If you want to work out with people that are highly educated in knowing how to get the best results in a place where you are guaranteed a laugh then this is the place for you. Can't recommend highly enough.
