Coco’s Gym stands as the Gold Coast’s premier destination for strength athletes, distinguishing itself as the only specialized Strongman gym in the region. Founded by Jean-Stephen (Coco) Coraboeuf, a competitive Strongman and Powerlifter with a Master’s in Sports Science, the facility was established in 2014 to bridge the gap between high-performance athletic training and accessible community fitness. Spanning over 800 square meters, Coco’s Gym offers one of Queensland’s largest and most well-equipped strength facilities, catering to everyone from seasoned competitors to beginners taking their first steps with a barbell.
What sets Coco’s apart is its unwavering commitment to building a supportive, inclusive community. The gym is designed to be more than just a training ground; it is a vibrant hub where members are respected, challenged, and encouraged to achieve their unique goals. Whether you are looking to compete on the world stage, build serious muscle, rehabilitate from an injury, or simply improve your overall health, the atmosphere is engineered to push you to your limits while ensuring you never feel alone in the process. The team, including Head Coach Coco, Administrator Arielle, and specialized coaches like Adrienne Karniewicz, brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the floor, creating an environment where progress is celebrated and friendships are forged.
Members have access to top-tier, specialized equipment that is often missing from commercial gyms. This includes power bars, Eleiko bars, deadlift bars, monolifts, and calibrated powerlifting plates, alongside dedicated areas for Strongman events such as atlas stones, farmer’s carries, and log presses. The gym also features modern amenities like an Evolt 360 body scan for progress tracking, a two-person infrared sauna, and a posing room, ensuring a holistic approach to athletic development.
Training options at Coco’s Gym are diverse and flexible. The gym offers group classes included in most memberships, such as "Barbells & Technique" focused on compound lifts, and "Strongman & Strongwoman" sessions that teach the fundamentals of unique strongman movements. These classes are designed for all levels, with coaches providing hands-on technique correction to ensure safety and efficiency. For those seeking more personalized attention, 1-on-1 personal training sessions are available to create customized programs tailored to specific goals, whether that’s gaining strength, losing weight, or preparing for competition. Additionally, online coaching services provide remote athletes with programming, video analysis, and expert guidance from Coco, making world-class coaching accessible regardless of location.
Convenience is key, with the facility open 24/7 for members, allowing for training that fits around any schedule. There are no lock-in contracts, emphasizing a membership model based on value and results rather than long-term commitments. With a focus on affordability without compromising on quality, Coco’s Gym invites everyone to join a community that believes strength is not just for the elite, but for anyone willing to put in the work. Whether you are dropping in for a casual session or committing to a full membership, you will find a welcoming environment dedicated to helping you build the strength and confidence you desire.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Coco since I think 2016, supported his business and career for as long as I’ve known him. Great coach who really thrives to make sure you meet your goals. The gym offers group strongman classes too which I loved every Saturday morning. The gym itself is probably the biggest strength gym on the Gold Coast and Brisbane, home of some of the best Australia top strength Athletes. If anyone is looking for a community to join and getting started on their fitness journey, Cocos is for everyone of all ages and sizes. I would highly recommend signing up here or even coming in to check it out as a casual. It’s got an amazing atmosphere too!

Fantastic experience: Incredible gym with the best atmosphere and more specialty equipment than you could imagine. I've been a member for a few months now and coming on board was one of the best decisions I've made.

Fantastic experience: Long term member of Coco's Gym, and long term coaching by Coco.

Fantastic experience: Coco’s is by far the best gym, not just in GC, but QLD. It’s not just a great Strongman/ Strongwoman gym. There are Powerlifters, Body builders, and just everyday people wanting to get stronger and fitter. It’s a community that’s supportive of all levels - amateur, experienced, pro. The ladies classes are always the highlight of my week - so inviting, welcoming and supportive. I learn so much from the classes run by both Arielle and Coco!!
Fantastic experience: I started this gym in February after being at a commercial gym with many negative experiences. Once I started here I was welcomed by everyone.

Open air and spaces, lots of room and you can escape the crowds and get your workout done!!

Fantastic experience: Hands done the Absolute best gym I have been too. I have now been training here for just over a year and can not fault anything here. I have been working on my form and technique with coco and he has managed to fix many of the issues i was having. His wealth and knowledge is far superior to any other coach I have ever had. And this is the first gym that I have felt comfortable at. Many gyms can be quite daunting but not here. Everyone is welcoming. I might as well mention that I happily travel 1.5hrs twice a week to go here. So that states it all. Toya
Fantastic experience: Since joining Coco’s Gym I have been able to build upon my strength as well as feel comfortable and safe learning how to perfect my techniques not only through the encouragement of fellow gym members but also from the qualified coaches that work there. I have since built upon my foundation at Cocos Gym with the guidance of Coco himself! and have found the atmosphere very motivating and inspirational. The etiquette, cleanliness and organisation of the gym means that you’re not lost or looking for equipment, the strength and conditioning classes are wholesome and welcoming to any level fitness be it beginner or professional! (Highly suggest attending the strongwoman classes on a Tuesday!) I cannot recommend this gym enough! ‘Only the Strong Survive’ because getting stronger starts at Coco’s Gym!
