Accelerate Strength: Opinions
Fantastic experience: What a gym! Best Crossfit box I've ever trained at. I was staying in the area (looking at relocating to NSW) and decided to try Accelerate. From initial enquiry, owner Quint was magnificent. Shoutout to coaches Em and Rami too for bringing the vibes and expertise! Super accomodating and kind, and even looked after my (retiree) parents who were looking for an open gym to train at. I cannot recommend Accelerate Strength enough. I would move to the area just so that I could continue to train here.
Fantastic experience: Matt is awesome. Great sess which included some gems about mindset. Amazing space as well
Thanks Otto! Appreciate the kind words and glad you enjoyed the session!
Fantastic experience: Incredible space and amazing trainer . Could not recommend more.
Thanks Natalia! Was great to have you at the gym
Fantastic experience: A great range of classes and super friendly coaches! Very welcoming for all levels, definitely recommend.
Thanks Mia!
Fantastic experience: I joined AS 3 months ago having never done CrossFit or gym classes before. I love the format and the personalised training you get each session. I have got so much stronger and fitter over a small period of time, and met lots of great people too. I’m 50 next year and never thought I would feel this good!! Thank you Matt, Shaun, Paula, Kim and Sam at AS!!
Thanks Fraser!
Fantastic experience: I’ve never like gyms. But Accelerate Strength is amazing. The best coaches, a community that is committed but not intimidating, and a relaxed space. Love these guys!!
Thanks Matty! Keep up the good work and bringing your energy
Fantastic experience: Enjoyed the experience at Accelerate. Matt and the coaching team were welcoming and the space well equipped with a range of quality equipment and fun tools. Programming included some specialty classes such as Strongman, CrossFit including a partner workout and functional body building style sessions. Visiting dogs was a bonus!
Hi Amy,Great to have you pop in! Always great to see where your friends train and come into their community. Good luck with the gym back home Hope to see you again soon
Fantastic experience: Staff are exceptional, equipment is is great shape, they have a kids area and get a nanny in to support parents. Classes are perfectly managed numbers wise. I really came into it not loving exercise but acknowledge that it is required to continue living. The owners are staff make classes fun! Also they do a trip to Bali every year and would recommend. My husband and I didn’t renew our contracts because we moved to another city. I hope we find a gym half this great in our new area. Also my greyhound was always made to feel welcome.
Thanks Kellie!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Sydney by far. The team have really built a special community from the ground up. Workouts are always fun and different, equipment is in great shape, class sizes are perfect, trainers are amazing. They have a nanny come into the kids play area to support parents and there are always lots of beautiful dogs. Also once a year they organise a gym trip to Bali which I would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I've joined a few gyms over the years and I'd have to rate Accelerate as one of the best. The trainers know their stuff and constantly help with movement, technique and setting a pace. I injured my back moving furniture a month ago, and taking advice from Matt, Kim and Chris I kept up the workouts but in a way that helped me rehabilitate, and I'd feel much better after a morning session. It's a friendly environment, we all greet each other and it's a real mix of ages and genders. Thank you Accelerate team for your help and attention and I look forward to achieving my health and fitness goals with your guidance.
Appreciate your kind words Kurt and glad to have you as part of our community
Fantastic experience: Out of the several gyms I've been a member of, I consider Accelerate to be the best. The trainers are highly knowledgeable and are always there to assist with proper movement, technique, and pacing. Although I had no specific prior experience with crossfit workouts or olympic weightlifting, the onboarding process provided me with a solid foundation in the basic movements, which boosted my confidence and helped me fully engage in the classes. The coaching team is exceptional and provides easy-to-understand feedback, while also tailoring the program to each individual's abilities. The gym has a welcoming atmosphere, with a diverse mix of ages and genders, and everyone catches up with each other before the workout. I am grateful to the Accelerate team for their support and guidance, and I'm excited to work towards achieving my fitness goals with their help.
Thanks Neil,Been great having you at the gym as part of the AS community. We have loved seeing your progress! Keep up the consistency
Fantastic experience: Great place, lots of equipment, nice and knowledgeable staff.
Thanks Omar!
Fantastic experience: Serious quality programming and coaching!!
Thanks Tima!
Fantastic experience: Matt is an awesome coach in an amazing space. Knowledge with care and clear intentions. A great experience thank you
Thanks Nikki!
Fantastic experience: Great gym that’s accepting of everyone and is so welcoming to newcomers!
Thanks Mira!
Fantastic experience: Great trainers, great community of members and very welcoming gym. Much higher level of professionalism than your average gym. Can’t recommend highly enough.
Thanks Anita!
Fantastic experience: I’ve trained at roughly 6 or so different gyms over my life and this is easily the best so far. Exceptional programming, coaches and community. Finally think I have found my long term home.
Thanks Liam! Happy to be your home for as long as you like!
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed the space. High quality coaches that know what they're talking about when it comes to lifting. Am looking forward to the next time I will be able to get in. If you are local I highly recommend. Warm bunch of people, great space, good coaching.
Thanks Tai! Looking forward to seeing you back!
Fantastic experience: Trained at this gym many times over the years and am always impressed with the place. Great coaches, awesome community vibes and nice clean gym space. They do a great job. Check them out.
Thanks Joe!
Fantastic experience: I’ve started doing Crossfit at this gym a few years ago. I’m glad I received the best foundation and continue improving my technique with these guys. The level of involvement you receive in this gym cannot be matched by any other place in Sydney (I’ve tried a few just to compare). Coaches know your background and help you modify movements based on your current condition or injuries. They really know how to run classes. They would push the whole group to develop new skills and find the limits, as well as provide a personal approach for each individual. You will get scaled versions of exercises to cater to all levels. I’ve also recently completed their nutrition program, which taught me so much about meal planning and how to find the right balance of macronutrients. The main thing was the guidance I received from a coach with a wealth of experience. You can also look up their podcast for a bit of wisdom and daily how-tos from the gym owners, coaches and expert guests. This is a one stop shop for your wellness, fitness and training. I highly recommend to everyone!
Thanks Aleksey! Appreciate having you as part of the community and glad we've been this helpful for you on your health and fitness journey!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at AS for the last few years and really enjoy the coaching, atmosphere and community. The recent oly lifting workshop was awesome - it was great be able to spend some time dialling in the technique and have already improved on all my lifts! Kudos to Kim for putting it together and making it so enjoyable!
Thanks Matty! Appreciate having you as part of the community!
Fantastic experience: 6 months training at accelerate strength and I am stoked with my progression. The gym has a genuine community feel and the coaches are awesome at working with you to achieve your fitness goals. I had never trained in cross fit or olympic weightlifting previously. During the onboarding process, i was guided through the basic foundation movements which gave me the confidence and know how to fully participate in the classes. The skilled coaching team provide easy to understand feedback throughout, and scale the program depending on your ability. Highly recommend.
Thanks Brad! Stoked you’re a part of the community
Fantastic experience: Great gym with amazing coaches, full of really friendly people. I thoroughly enjoy every class and always look forward to getting back there. I recently attended an Olympic lifting workshop with Kim, and I learned so much in a single morning. Kim is an awesome coach. He has a way of explaining and demonstrating movements that really helps improve understanding, and technique. The years of experience are evident in his ability to provide feedback and suggestions that allow you to keep improving, even with you think you may have hit a plateau. I highly recommend the gym as a whole, as well as Kim’s workshops.
Thanks Zach!
Fantastic experience: I was with Accelerate 6 months before leaving Sydney. I absolutely loved coming to this gym from the get go. Before I was just doing my own thing and not really getting any results with my "bro sesh" routine, maybe id do a leg work out in a week, but probably wouldn't. Coming to Accelerate helped me achieve on a weekly basis what I had wanted for a long time and big changes were made by staying consistent and to a degree, accountable. I was always encouraged to improve and progress. What I really enjoyed about coming though was this CrossFit community, The coaches and the people in the class were amazing, genuine people and I looked forward to going every time. The coaches are fantastic with a massive well of knowledge, My fitness, form and technique were overhauled by these guys and feel great for it. Thanks team.
Thanks Adrian. Pleasure having you train with us mate and all the best with your families travels
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at accelerate for only a few weeks now, but I could tell from the get-go that the quality of service and gym itself was gonna be world class. On-boarding process was smooth and individualised, and the coaching and workouts/classes have been the perfect balance of challenging, helpful and fun. I am a coach myself and find I get a lot out of the classes that I can take away to my own training and clients. These guys know their stuff and create a welcoming environment to be in!
Thanks Ashley! Appreciate the kind words and love having you in the gym. Coaches need coaches too :-)
Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable staff, great variety and well thought out classes for all levels. Feel safe to know I have learnt from the best and done the proper ground work.
Fantastic experience: Accelerate is the most enjoyable and professionally run place I’ve trained at. Great community, very inclusive and a tough but balanced workload every week. Not to mention a bunch of well trained and attentive coaches with sensible class sizes. It’s the next stage of xfit in my opinion.
Thanks Mark! Pleasure having you train with us!
Fantastic experience: Great gym with a fantastic set-up and exercise program and most importantly, amazing coaching. I was new to CrossFit at the start of 2022 and joining has been a great (and long overdue) decision. I already feel stronger and healthier. Can’t speak highly enough about the coaching - Matt, Kim and Paula are passionate and very knowledgable. They genuinely take their time to ensure your technique is correct (and safe) and really help you maximise every class.
Thanks Joe! Glad you made that "(long overdue) decision to start with us and already feel stronger and healthier. There's plenty more gains to come!
Fantastic experience: After 5 months at AS, this gym stands out for its switched-on, highly engaged and knowledgeable coaches. There is a strong focus and respect for nailing the basics and i have personally been able to fill gaps in my ability through the guidance of the coaches here. Feedback is consistent, timely & personalised. I really cannot rate the attentiveness of the team enough! Excellent programming with a variety of mechanics, gymnastics, olympic lifting and strong man classes to supplement core crossfit training. Awesome, thorough onboarding for beginners and more experienced crossfitters alike makes transitioning to AS easy!
Thanks Georgia! Pleasure having you train with us and glad we've been able to help you make gains in this short space of time!
Fantastic experience: Great people, great facilities! Love this place!
Thanks Sam. Love having you train with us mate!
Fantastic experience: By far the best gym I have been to. People are great, coaches are very knowledgeable and always happy to help.
Thanks Jeanne-Marie!
Fantastic experience: Accelerate strength is great with the support they provide with coaching for all sorts of fitness levels with an amazing community. When started I was a bit worried about how intense the classes would be however the initial 1/1's to teach me the right technique, combined with check in's and scaling of classes to my capability made me feel supported and very challenged at the same time! Kim and Matt are absolutely amazing (as are the entire team) and would highly recommend!
Thanks Bec!
Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional , organised, and with coaches that have excellent attention to detail. The venue is fantastic as it is very spacious and has plenty of equipment. A great place to workout.
Thanks Nick!
Fantastic experience: Great gym with amazing coaches. Started up here to get a bit of variety in my training and learn some new lifts outside of my standard bro routine. Big thanks to Matt and Kimbo for teaching me some Oly lifting skills and techniques, these guys are great coaches. Membership is pricey, but you get what you pay for here. The coaches regularly reach out to check in with you via call or text, which is great and shows they care, they develop good relationships with everyone that steps in the gym, and encourage people to socialise and meet each member at the start of each class. Sad to be moving out of the area from these legends and this awesome gym.
Thanks Tim! Sad you're moving away but glad you got to spend time with us and learnt a lot while you were here!
Fantastic experience: Staff super friendly, classes are perfectly managed numbers wise. I genuinely hate cardio and weight but acknowledge that it is required to continue living. If you’re going to do CrossFit in Balmain, do it here
Fantastic experience: (Andy Scott) - I've been training at Accelerate for about 3 years now, getting fitter and stronger every session. The programming here is on-point, providing you with a good balance of intensity, consistency and skill-based workouts every week. The coaches (Shaun, Matt, Kim, Chris) are bloody awesome, with excellent attention to detail and will make sure you get the most out of every session. Sign up ;)
Thanks Andy! It's been so good to see your growth and dedication to always strive for better these last few years. Looking forward to supporting your growth in the years to come!
Fantastic experience: Joined Accelerate Strength at the start of 2021 and settled in very quickly thanks to the incredibly knowledgeable trainers who are all round lovely people. It is evident through their training and preparation how passionate they are about health and fitness and you achieving your goals, whatever they may be. The Accelerate Strength community is also very tight knit and supportive of all levels and abilities. By far the best gym/fitness experience I’ve ever had and highly recommend accelerate strength for anyone looking to build a stronger, fitter and better you :)
Thanks Sambo!
Fantastic experience: Accelerate has exceeded my every expectation of a ‘gym’. I was weary about whether I would fit in and keep up, however the community and culture that Shaun, Matt and Kim have created is that no one has to fit into anything but one self. I always come away feeling challenged, at my own pace and I have felt myself get stronger each week. I haven’t experienced this level of care or consistency previously. The team have a unique approach and mindset that pushes ones personal limits within a group setting, whilst still feeling that each workout is bespoke to every individual. A must try for anyone who really wants to challenge themselves mentally as well as physically.
Thanks Fatema! We'll always have your back and challenge you so you're always growing!
Fantastic experience: The thing that sets Accelerate Strength gym apart from its counterparts is its coaching, the culture and the programming. The coaches Matt, Kim, Chris, Jay and Shaun are super knowledgeable and have a vested interest in their members fitness journey and goals. Each coach champions an inclusive feel to each class, ensuring members feel welcomed and have a sense of belonging, regardless of their fitness experience or skill-set. The classes are purposely kept small (18 maximum) with two coaches - meaning each member is afforded coaching and guidance throughout the sessions. The coaches are excellent at explaining and demonstrating exercises, where ample regressions and progressions are offered in order to allow for the individual to build on their skill-set. There is a wide variety of classes and broad-range of equipment allowing for CrossFit, Olympic lifting, Strongman, functional body building, mobility, gymnastics and Metabolic conditioning classes amongst others. The programming is considered and is done with purpose; where time is allocated for an appropriate warm-up and skill work which lends itself to the actual workout of the day. I couldn’t recommend this gym more highly, whether you are at the beginning of your fitness journey, or hitting a plateaux in your current regime; Accelerate Strength has all the tools to improve your fitness, mental health and quality of life.
Thanks Zeph! Takes a coach to appreciate all of these details like you have!
Fantastic experience: (Andy Scott) - I've been training at Accelerate for about 3 years now, getting fitter and stronger every session. The programming here is on-point, providing you with a good balance of intensity, consistency and skill-based workouts every week. The coaches (Shaun, Matt, Kim, Chris) are bloody awesome, with excellent attention to detail and will make sure you get the most out of every session. Sign up ;)
Fantastic experience: When I arrived in Australia about 5 years ago, I knew diddly squat about CrossFit or any functional fitness for that matter but I really wanted to change my life and give it a go. I happen to stumble upon Shaun and Matt and their incredible passion for excellence in fitness and people! They took so much time in making sure my technique, skill and execution was perfect that I have been injury free since starting. Their passion was infectious and I am still training to this day. I have however moved away and sadly not attend Accelerate Strength anymore but now being at another box, I still think back on the fond memories and how these two men changed my life. I am now a healthier, fitter, mum and will be forever thankful for the wisdom and care Shaun and Matt showed me.
Thanks Karien! Glad we helped you on your journey and glad you have found another home where you've moved to!
Fantastic experience: I've been training at Accelerate for almost a month and I cannot even explain how much this GYM has changed my attitude towards fitness. Usually with other GYMs I've felt motivated the first week of training and then I stop going. But at this crossfit GYM the coaches have kept me interested and engaged with the exercises we do everyday. This is my new training spot long term just because of the quality of the equipment and coaching. Well done guys.
Fantastic experience: Super professional CrossFit outfit. So passionate and committed - and lovely folks too!
Thanks BJ!
Fantastic experience: I have been training at Accelerate for about 6 months. I am fitter and stronger than I have ever been and I love coming to the gym to train. All the coaches are amazing and so knowledgeable. The coaches are really great at giving context for every work out and are always helping you to become a better version of yourself. Since joining Accelerate I am enjoying training more than ever due to the coaches, great facility and all of the other members at the gym. Everyone is so friendly and supportive which makes training even more fun.
Thanks Jean!
Fantastic experience: Have been a member for a number of years, and totally rate these lads. Variety of training is superb, facility is excellent, different trainers are pros, fellow students are great peeps. You won't go wrong training here, and you'll have a great time to!
Thanks Christiaan!
Fantastic experience: Love this gym. It’s next level when compared to the franchise gyms I’ve been to. The coaches really care and know their stuff. I was pleasantly surprised that they help break through limiting beliefs too. I had a shoulder injury and thought I could never do a handstand again. My coach made me realise that it was possible by showing me the steps and I almost got there first time. Above all, I felt supported, challenged but safely within my limits. Do yourself a favour and get better results instead of the short term promotions we tend to get sucked in by. (Not me in the photo, my coach).
Thanks Danny!
Fantastic experience: Accelerate Strength is not like any gym. The boys are so supportive and take a genuine interest in every clients progression and overall health. The culture is very inclusive and everyone is so welcoming. The classes are always different and you always leave feeling so much better than when you walked in. I would highly recommend Accelerate Strength to anyone looking for a gym with a holistic approach to improving mental and physical health.
Thanks Angus!
Fantastic experience: I’ve just moved to the area with Accelerate being the local gym, and I have settled into the gym very quickly. Great coaches providing a varied yet tailored training programme. Lots of space and equipment in the gym to accommodate the classes, would highly recommend for anyone at any level of their fitness journey!
Thanks Merson!
Fantastic experience: Time flies. It has been almost half a year since I joined Accelerate. I have been a member to a few Crossfit gyms in Sydney already, and this place is, hands down the best coaching I have ever experienced since I started my Crossfit journey. Not only I love the programming, which has a meaning as to why we do things at Accelerate, but the class delivery, the community and the coaching is top notch. Matt and Kim are always there to help with anything and check on you. A special thanks to both of them for just being the best and caring for us members. I can speak for myself and Gav when I say we are happy we found such a great facility to train at. I have noticed great improvements so far and cannot wait to see what else I achieve at Accelerate.
Thanks Paula! Appreciate having you and Gav as part of our community!
Fantastic experience: Accelerate Strength has to be one of the best CrossFit gyms I have ever trained at. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and are always available for advice and help when it comes to technique, nutrition or helping me achieve my goals. I highly recommend Accelerate Strength to any one whether you have prior CrossFit experience, are new to the scene or just curious about CrossFit, Shaun and his team of coaches are there to help!
Thanks Hayden!
Fantastic experience: I only joined about a month ago, but I'm loving AS - it's completely transformed the way I train. I used to go to a gym and try to suffer my way through things like squats, deadlifts etc without hurting myself. In the end, I wouldn't get anywhere near optimal results and would leave with a moderate workout. At AS, from the moment you walk in, everything is designed to help you hit your best workout, but in a safe and efficient way. Great trainer to member ratio, every class covers all of the fundamentals of each movement so you're never out of your depth - and there are muscles in my body that are sore that I didn't even know I had. Shaun, Matt and Kim are very attentive and patient, especially with a newbie like me.
Thanks Steve! Glad we helped you locate those muscles you never know you had!
Fantastic experience: I didn't know I needed to do crossfit until I started at with accelerate in 2016. The place is great and the coaches make you feel like part of the fam from your first PT. All the coaches know exactly how to motivate you to get the results that you want, whether it's better form, mobility, nutrition, building muscle, weight loss / body composition. A/S really puts in the hard work for us so that we just have to show up and work hard (and dance). In the past weeks since reopening from COVID I've hit about 5 PBs! Ratings out of 5 barbells: Coaches: 5 / 5 barbells Workouts: 5 / 5 barbells Environment: 5 / 5 barbells Other members: 5 / 5 barbells All round good times: 5 /5 barbells
Fantastic experience: Really good coaching, the guys are very professional and easy to get along with. Would 100% recommend for anyone looking to get fit in a comfortable professional environment
Thanks James!
Fantastic experience: Love being part of the accelerate family, a great box with a focus on fundamentals in training. Great crew and challenging programming, hard recommend!
Thanks Benny!
Fantastic experience: Joined in July this year and I’m really glad I found the place. The coaching is first class for all abilities, the staff and members have made a beginner like me feel very welcome. The guys do a weekly podcast too which is helping me in and outside the gym. Can not recommend them enough!
Thanks Craig!
Fantastic experience: The team at Accelerate Strength have helped me rediscover a passion for training. Not enough positive things can be said about the quality of coaching & programming; it’s about layering fundamentals with accessory work to continue growing & improving. I’m delighted to have been a long term member of this tribe of likeminded people and look forward to continuing my strength & fitness journey, smashing goals along the way. I can’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for their next training space.
Fantastic experience: I have been with Accelerate Strength for almost 3 years. They have the best coaches that transform each individual to be better versions of themselves. Accelerate strength has many options when it comes to classes to help each individual focus on their goals, from body building, power lifting, gymnastics and many more!
Thanks CJ!
Fantastic experience: Great environment to engage in group, personal and self-driven training. Working with the trainers, they will deliver a very personalised experience in accordance to your current fitness level, short and long term goals. The trainers share their expert technical knowledge and experience in a friendly, casual environment that encourages and motivates you to strive harder to reach and exceed your goals. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their health, fitness or just feel good from a decent sweat.
An absolute pleasure working with you Chris! Thanks mate!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been with AS for more than two years and I’ve had a really good experience with them. They always have technique as the top priority. The coaches are very friendly and always willing to help. The community is really friendly and welcoming which makes it a really fun environment.
Thanks Diego!
Fantastic experience: The guys at Accelerate provide an absolutely incredible space for my training. Their coaching has really educated me on how to do things well which has helped me so much in my progression in my training and their consults at the start of my membership showed that they really care about my health and my goals which is something I have not experienced at any other gym. The gym itself is an incredible facility, I could not recommend these guys enough. Shaun, Matty and Kimbo thank you so much for everything you do!
Thanks Scott! Appreciate you being part of the community!
Fantastic experience: When I joined Accelerate Strength in April 2019 it was my second entry into the world of Crossfit, having trained for 8 months at a box in Canada in 2017. Whilst I really enjoyed the first experience, Accelerate Strength has been an incomparably more positive experience. • The people – Joining a crossfit gym is intimidating. In my previous box I always felt there were the elites and then the rest of us. I’ve never felt like that at Accelerate Strength. There’s fantastic diversity in membership and everyone is really welcoming. A simple but awesome touch is that the instructors make sure you say hello everyone by name prior to every workout. This is a great way to break down barriers and promote positive interactions. • The space – The box is large and well stocked with excellent equipment. There’s also a great social area (recently renovated) where you can sit and chat to other members before and after classes. The gyms is Kid & Dog friendly, it’s awesome to see parents bring their kids in who can play in a safe space while Mom or Dad (or both) train. • The staff – Shawn, Matt, Kimbo and Chris, thanks heaps for your informed instruction over the last 18 months. The warm ups are always specific to the work out, sounds simple but in my previous gym the warm up was left to yourself to complete as you saw fit. I also feel there’s a path to progression on the more challenging movements and that Accelerate cater for that really well. Again, in my previous gym there were those who could do muscle ups (for example) and those who couldn’t. If you were in the latter group (which I was!) it felt like you were stuck there. • Continuous improvement – The guys are really intent on evolving and improving. Since I joined there’s been new equipment, renovations, integration with local physios, nutrition classes, specific workshops, Zoom workouts during COVID and tonnes of other initiatives to keep things fresh and to keep you engaged and challenged. I’d recommend Accelerate to anyone of any age or capability. It’s been a huge positive in my life over the last 18 months both physically and mentally. Thanks crew!
Thanks Brian! Glad we've been a positive impact and made you venture into CrossFit training what it has been!
Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic box with tons of space, great equipment and even better coaching. Matt, Kim and Chris are brilliant at adapting each class to make sure everyone gets the most out of their workout, regardless of the level they're at. The best part though is the relaxed and incredibly friendly atmosphere. Overall, an excellent place to train!
Thanks Aoife!
Fantastic experience: Came across Accelerate Strength 5 years and ago and have never looked back. Crossfit seems daunting at first. However, the Coaches are Amazing. Matt, Kim, Shaun and Chris they take the time to make sure you feel confident with every movement, and they care about you and want to make sure they can help you with your goals. All I can say is that I feel good and look good, and it's because of the team at Accelerate Strength and the people at the box. The workouts are great, the people are great, and the box is huge and has excellent equipment. I've been to many boxes around the world, but none of them is like this one.
Fantastic experience: This is a one in a million and it if you are looking for an engaging, fun and inclusive fitness community, this is it. Shaun and Matt, along with their trainers, have created something really special with this gym and no matter what level of fitness you are, it will be well catered for. Their philosophy is not quick fixes, Accelerate Strength is about helping people live better lives by helping you with your health and fitness. The growth mindset, quality coaching and excellent programming ensure this is an exceptional place to be a member of.
Thanks Chloe!
Fantastic experience: Accelerate Strength is undoubtedly one of the best gyms out there, CrossFit or otherwise. For me, what sets it apart is that there is a huge focus on quality of movement, not just quantity and volume. Every single session is programmed with intention - whether that is learning new skills like handstand pushups or rope climbs, dialling technique, building strength or even simply just grinding out a big sweat session. The coaches are genuinely interested in the wellbeing on each and every one of us in the community which, I find, is not often the case in other gyms. Shaun and Matt have done an excellent job in cultivating a culture where we are surrounded by genuinely decent human beings that just want to get better at being strong, moving well and have a little bit of fun at the same time. 10/10 would recommend.
Thanks KaLing! Glad you're one of the genuinely decent human beings we get to work with every day!
Fantastic experience: Fact: the Accelerate Strength team are the best coaches I've trained with, period. The knowledge, programming and hands on guidance provided is second to none. I've trained in a variety of fitness disciplines over the years with Accelerate being my first foray into CrossFit. The technical aspects of CrossFit (Oly lifting and Gymnastics) demand proper form and technique, with CrossFit sometimes getting a bad wrap for the coaches inability to properly program/coach these elements. At Accelerate this is an absolute non-issue - Matt, Kimbo and all the coaches are there every step of the way to guide every member through getting better, no matter whether you are a beginner or a CrossFit veteran.
Thanks Nat!
Fantastic experience: I recently became a fully engaged member of Accelerate Strength and can only say thanks for the thorough induction from the team. I have been looking for a fitness community for a while and I sense already I have found the right place for gaining knowledge, motivation and growth. Now for those newbie gains :)
Thanks James! Those newbie gains have been going strong!
Fantastic experience: A fantastic environment to train! I joined following recommendation from a close friend. At that point, I had reached a plateau in my training and I needed that push. The coaches at accelerate strength will take the time out to get to know you and give you a personal customised training experience. It is a family friendly, pet friendly box, focused more on participation and technique. I owe a lot to Matt, Shaun, Chris and Kim for their constant encouragement. Thanks guys for a great 2 years!
Thanks Jesse! Appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: I've just left Accelerate Strength having been a member there for over 6 years, and I'm gutted I had to leave (I left the whole country so it's a pretty good excuse). I can honestly say Matt and Shaun and their coaches and the entire AS community has changed my relationship with fitness forever (I guess I didn't really have a relationship with fitness before I joined). It's such a warm and welcoming community and if you're in or around Balmain you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't drop in and check it out. It's not your stock standard group fitness class, you'll get fit and strong, but also learn so much about what you're capable of. There's no way I would have had the physical and mental strength to push my dead motorbike up the hills to the mechanic if I hadn't just done sled pushes in class the day before! On top of that, the class is often the best hour of the day!
Thanks Ian. Was a pleasure having you with us for all those years. You're definitely missed here!
Fantastic experience: I participated in Kim’s 3-hour long olympic weight lifting workshop last weekend. The workshop concentrated on improving skills, fixing mistakes, perfecting form. It was hugely enjoyable and very useful. Kim’s every directive is insightful, he is both highly educated and experienced in the whole fitness field (and a top athlete). His coaching is razor-sharp in targeting our weaknesses and bringing out the best in us. For me, it gave a new impetus in my olympic lifting endeavours as I can now more clearly see how to improve, what I’m starting to do right and what needs to be changed or fine-tuned. Thanks Kim!
Thanks Kalman. It's been a pleasure having you in and part of our community!

Thanks Ollie. Appreciate you mate!!

Thanks Sarah!
Fantastic experience: I didn't know I needed to do crossfit until I started at with accelerate in 2016. The place is great and the coaches make you feel like part of the fam from your first PT. All the coaches know exactly how to motivate you to get the results that you want, whether it's better form, mobility, nutrition, building muscle, weight loss / body composition. A/S really puts in the hard work for us so that we just have to show up and work hard (and dance). In the past weeks since reopening from COVID I've hit about 5 PBs! Ratings out of 5 barbells: Coaches: 5 / 5 barbells Workouts: 5 / 5 barbells Environment: 5 / 5 barbells Other members: 5 / 5 barbells All round good times: 5 /5 barbells
Thanks Timmy!
Fantastic experience: I've been training at Accelerate for almost a month and I cannot even explain how much this GYM has changed my attitude towards fitness. Usually with other GYMs I've felt motivated the first week of training and then I stop going. But at this crossfit GYM the coaches have kept me interested and engaged with the exercises we do everyday. This is my new training spot long term just because of the quality of the equipment and coaching. Well done guys.
Thanks Roy. Appreciate the kind words and it's been a pleasure having you train with us!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Accelerate for over 4 years. I love the varied and interesting workouts, and that you can scale everything to your individual level. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and experienced, friendly and give individual attention. The other members - the community - is awesome. I have made some amazing friends and find it impossible to not have a great time every training session.
Appreciae you Misa. It's hard not to smile every time you walk through the front door :-)
Fantastic experience: An excellent training facility with coaches who go out of their way to get to know every member and help them achieve their goals. And the best part is the amazing community - supportive, friendly and fun.
Thank you Erin! We appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Accelerate Strength gives me the best hour of my day. What I’ve gained during my time with Accelerate Strength extends far beyond physical fitness results. My outlook and response to all aspects of health and well-being have improved exponentially. You will never regret the day you stepped through the door of Accelerate Strength!
Thanks Pierce! Your work ethic is second to none and you deserve all the success you've had!!

Fantastic experience: The best thing about Agilis is the family environment. I've found with training, to stay motivated you need great support and the Agilis team nail this. All the trainers are also super knowledgable and tailor/scale every movement to my needs and ability. Couldn't reccomend a better place to train and I've tried a few.
Thanks Mic! Appreciate your support!
