Iron Born Strength and Conditioning

Fantastic experience: I have been Training with Coach Braydn for over a year now we started in June 2023 in this time i lost over 30 kg which led me to competing in my first ever powerlifting comp in October 2023 and we are still growing strong. Als is knowledgeable and also really great at fixing forms and technique :) i highly recommend coach Braydn if you are looking for a coach to help you get strong and ready to compete in powerlifting :)

Fantastic experience: Great place to train I have an exceptional trainer known as PRINCESS Jilly Hos

Fantastic experience: Great community and equipment

Fantastic experience: Jill is amazing. I have been training with her atar Iron Born for over 12 months. I can throughly recommend it, whatever your goals. The staff there are very invested and very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been in one of their programs for a month now and it’s definitely helping me reach my fitness goals. My coach Duff is really friendly and knows what his talking about. I recommend checking these guys out!

Fantastic experience: Started will Jill back in December, I was extremely nervous and scared to start training after having some terrible personal trainers in the past. Having Jill as my coach has been INCREDIBLE, I have never felt so confident in myself like I do now. Jill encourages me to be my best version of myself in all aspects and i have been able to achieve more than I ever imagined. I never once thought I’d be lifting weights. Yet here I am. I highly recommend Coach Jill and all the other coaches at ironborn.

Fantastic experience: Started with Duff a month ago. I found my strength training was starting to plateau and even deteriorate so I sought out some advice. Duff has been an amazing coach not only with programming but also helping fix my form which turns out, wasn’t great. My strength is coming back now and I definitely look forward to continue working with him into the future. Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: If you like someone who takes job seriously then that is the place to be in. Thank you for your help

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Duff for a bit over a year now and couldn't recommend him enough. I'd been struggling with knee pain for years from a previous injury and because of this was hesitant to train legs. Since beginning training with Duff I have gone from never training legs, to them being apart of nearly every session with no worries or issues. He's constantly building on his knowledge and coaching ability and is always focused on what is best for his clients.

Fantastic experience: I was unfit, unmotivated and daunted going to a gym. Luckily for me I met Jill who has totally changed my relationship with exercise. I would have never thought that in my 40’s having no experience with lifting weights that a barbell bench press would become my favourite exercise! Jill pushes me to my best (with lots of laughs along the way) while ensuring my technique is correct, I no longer worry about injuries as I know I am in safe hands. Jill also provides nutrition advice helping me to make a complete lifestyle change. I highly recommend Jill and Iron Born Strength and Conditioning to anyone looking for quality personal training.

Fantastic experience: Duff is an amazing coach! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Duffy and Braydn are absolutely wonderful! They are very friendly and explain exercises and meal plans in ways I can understand. After 2 weeks, I’m already noticing progress with my health and fitness! I highly recommend Duffy and Braydn for all your health, fitness and nutrition needs!

Fantastic experience: I have been getting trained by Duff now for a couple of months. Duff has been amazing. He has taught me how to lift properly and always helping out when you have questions. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Braydn since March 2022 - I have managed to lose 9kg and I am on my way to getting to my first PB in how much I am able to 'squat, lift and bench' - not bad for a 40 plus female who struggled with lifting more than a toddler. I joined up with B to improve my all round fitness / strength and in no way shape or form a professional that he normal trains but he still gives me 100 percent and trains me accordingly. I see him once a week and I do no more than 2 sessions at home (training sessions done through an app) but this has been enough to get me *slowly* built up. If the thought of F45, HIIT etc is enough to make you want to sit at home then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the team at Iron Born :) Trust me - you can achieve so much without jumping on boxes and doing Burpees. A love of dogs, coffee and bad taste in jokes a must. Good taste in music - essential. Cheers Brah :)

Fantastic experience: I started training with Jill 5 months ago....as an unfit 50 year old with knee and back pain. Jill listened to my goals and has supported me to achieve them. Jill is fun, knowledgeable, understanding and encouraging. I am amazed at how good I now feel - not only physically but mentally too. I totally love our training sessions and have absolutely no hesitation recommending Jill.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Jill for two years now. Jill has taught me the importance of strength training in keeping fit, healthy and strong. I’m in my 40’s and have never been so strong! I love training with Jill because she pushes me to reach my full potential and I always leave the gym on a high knowing I’ve completed a great session. Thanks Jill!

Fantastic experience: I first started seeing Jill when I’m 2020 when I started to going to the gym properly. She was absolutely amazing with writing me a program and teaching me the correct form on all the exercises I was doing. She is incredibly supportive and helpful whether you’re a beginner or you already have some experience. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a PT

Fantastic experience: I know that I would never have achieved the level of fitness and wellness I have at my age, (currently 51) if not for the personal attention given in my training sessions. Jill is always very encouraging and supportive. I am happy and now more confident with myself. I definitely recommend Jill to anyone looking for great quality personal training.

Fantastic experience: Braydn has helped me gain strength and size for school rowing, in 6 months I’ve gained 7kg of weight and I don’t think I’ve gained any fat at all. Cant wait to see what we can achieve in the next few years.

Fantastic experience: Jilly is an inspirational person. She makes you feel comfortable in the gym instantly and motivated to get healthy. She goes out of her way every single time and truly sets the bar high in the sky for what coaches can be. My workout plan is interesting and fresh and we worked closely to establish a diet plan i could follow comfortably and succeed with (for thr first time in my life) Simply put Ive never been healthier and happier in my life. I dont just feel like ive changed my lifestyle but she has invited me warmly into a community, of supportive, wonderful people where ive made great friends. Could not reccommend jilly highly enough to anyone, at any experience level.

Fantastic experience: Jill is a great trainer. She is friendly, warm, and welcoming. Jill is a great support in the gym, and her encouragement never fails to help me perform my best. I would recommend Jill to anyone who wants to get in shape, stay in shape, or push themselves to the next level. Thank you Jill, for all your support!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with duff for around 6 months. He has helped me with my physical and mental strength and has been such an amazing support. He always listens and always takes time to explain technique and follows up to see how you are going with training. He is a great trainer and friend. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend this gym “Pulse Playground” it is friendly supportive and welcoming-my main reason for going to this gym is because of my Strength and conditioning coach Jilly Hoss We have been training together now for approx 6-months and i feel absolutely amazing I am really excited to be doing my first novice powerlifting competition in August I feel empowered strong fit and healthy at 47 years -I can now fit into all my Clothes Which I haven’t worn in years!! Wahoo -It’s never too late and you’re never too old to become the very best version of you! I’ve never looked back -5 stars from me

Fantastic experience: Duff is an extremely knowledgeable coach who focuses on strength, bodybuilding and injury prevention. He’s constantly providing great insights and has helped me optimise my training to achieve great results

Fantastic experience: Iron Born strength and conditioning is an excellent gym with all the necessary equipment for improving strength and more. All equipment is new, clean and well maintained and has a great warm-up room with all the straps and bars you'll ever need. Along with the good equipment, everyone is super friendly and welcoming.Been training with Duff and have really appreciated his effort to teach proper form while proving me with a program fit my goals. Have seen massive improvements in my lifts which wouldnt have happened without great coaching.Couldn't recommend this gym more!

Fantastic experience: I am new to strength training and Jill has guided me to achieve my goals, especially in the bench press. I highly recommend Jill as a strength coach.

Fantastic experience: Duffy is always listening and taking into account your needs when programming. He ensures a safe learning environment where you feel comfortable asking questions. His ability to adapt training styles and techniques to fit the individual is why I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Duff now for about 6 months & I have become so much more confident within myself & at the gym. I would get so nervous about going to the gym as I knew my form & technique were not right! Duff has so much knowledge & understanding of the gym & that’s what makes him an excellent trainer. Duff has helped me with my form & shown me the correct techniques to use when training. I have seen so much progress since working with Duff & I highly recommended him as a pt

Fantastic experience: Fabulous community! Coach Duff has been amazing!

Fantastic experience: Duff is an amazing PT and powerlifting coach. My experience with him has been phenomenal as he has transformed my physique in 8 months. Duff has taught me how to train safely and effectively in the gym, and unlocked a potential I never knew I had.

Fantastic experience: 9.5/10 For Duff if he didn't keep forgetting his water bottle. Other than that mad Personal Trainer thats great at explaining complex techniques in ways for you to personally understand. Is fully dedicated to his job and works around things as I know a lot of the time I get sick or something has come up and I've had to change my session. Highly recommend, beginners and for more advanced gym goers alike :)

Fantastic experience: I had only been going to the gym for 6 months before I started doing PT with Duff and it’s made such a huge difference to my progress. I’ve had programs and other PTs with my previous attempts to go to the gym throughout the years but found they never explained proper techniques and sent me on my way, only to lose interest and give up. Duff has helped correct my techniques and properly explain the exercises with the why’s and how’s. It’s been a positive experience getting back into it. Honestly, I couldn’t recommend him enough as he’s helped my confidence and knowledge greatly.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Duff a couple of months back & couldn’t recommend him enough. He’s helped with my strength, mobility and form which has all made a world of difference to my training. It’s so helpful having someone with all his knowledge and experience to explain everything, create a program to help achieve my goals, and give constant encouragement and motivation to keep training. Can’t wait to see my improvement in the future due to Duff’s program & training :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve gone to gym on and off for years and worked with multiple PT’s without ever seeing results and was on the verge of quitting all together before I started training with Duff. His program is the first one that I’ve been able to stick to and I’ve seen more results in the last few months with him than I had in the years before. Having Duff’s knowledge and encouragement to draw on has made a world of difference for me, couldn’t recommend a better coach!

Fantastic experience: I have done personal training with Jilly for going on 2 years and have kept up with my sessions due to how kind hearted, encouraging and supportive she has been throughout my whole journey. I couldn't recommend Jilly enough, to not only help get you on the right track but to also gain an amazing friend in the end ❤️

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Brendan for 1.5 years now with the goal of putting on weight and starting powerlifting. I’ve put on over 15kg in the first year and have been super happy with my strength progress. Can definitely recommend to anyone wanting to start at the gym or in need of professional help.

Fantastic experience: Jill continues to help me with my fitness and weight training. Even through injuries she finds exercises I can do and ones that help build the supporting muscles surrounding injury areas which improves my recovery. Love going to her PT sessions Thanks Jill ❤️

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Brendan, one of the Pt’s here for a few months now and can hands down say he’s the most supportive, understanding and knowledgeable PT ever !! As someone who has anxiety and feels super uncomfortable at the gym in general, he really helps to boost my confidence and also helps break down exercises so they are easier to understand. If you’re looking for someone who is super passionate about their work and genuinely wants to help people achieve their gym goals (big or small), he is your guy !!!

Fantastic experience: Fun, knows what he's doing, easy to work with

Fantastic experience: Could not possibly recommend a better PT or trainer. I’ve been going to the gym about 4 years and the amount I’ve learned throughout my small time seeing Braydn is second to none, he has not only helped with shedding weight but also my strength, mobility and injuries have all been fixed, he provided a comfortable environment and is super easy to get along with, what a man.

Fantastic experience: A brilliant coach well versed in a variety of program delivery. From signing up to working out, I was met with consistent professionalism and genuine care. Braydn is a splendid coach who has helped me repeatedly exceed all of my physical expectations.

Fantastic experience: Awesome coach

Fantastic experience: Braydn has been such a huge help in my fitness journey. Despite being in different states he is extremely attentive to all needs. He has improved all of my lifts. 10 out of 10 would recommended to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Great coach with a lot of knowledge. Im and also a coach he has helped me be a better coach to my clients and helped me get alot stronger myself.

Fantastic experience: Braynd is a good looking rooster, has small feet tho but doesn't let this get in the way of his awesome coaching ability . Braydn helped me prep for 2 powerlifting comps and a international strongman comp I placed in 2 of these comps and got PBs in every comp we did highly recommend him

Fantastic experience: Absolute amazing coach. Braydn helped me so much with my powerlifting, dieting and even my mental well-being. Extremely genuine, knowledged and actually really cares about his athletes which is rare to find with a lot of coaches. HIGHLY recommend!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Trained with Braydn for years, top bloke and great trainer. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Best in the business for all your strength, body composition and injury rehab needs. Braydn is highly experienced and knowledgeable. He knows exactly how to offer an engaging and motivating training environment through his one on one sessions or his team training. If you’re curious about competing in amateur bodybuilding or powerlifting, Braydn is your guy. After beginning with Braydn at the age of 15, he has assisted me in adding nearly 200kg to my powerlifting total, added 20kg+ in lean mass aswell as assisting me in working through multiple injuries at the same time. Wether your goal is to compete at proraw, do your first squat or even just loose some unwanted body fat. The first step you should take is sending Braydn an inquiry.

Fantastic experience: I came to Braydn as an average gym go-er and really had no idea what I was doing. I was under eating, over training and really going no where. Under the guidance of Braydn I completely changed my physique in just a year. After that year was done we set out to achieve a goal I had been wanting to accomplish for a long time, and that was competing in a bodybuilding comp. Braydn successfully programmed my training and nailed my nutrition to a tee. We managed to get a first place in every category I entered, 2x overalls and a pro card. This was more than I ever could have imagined and has really set me up for a lifetime of fitness/nutritional knowledge. Highly recommend 5 ⭐️

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Braydn for just under 12 months. I had 3 goals: weight loss, improving strength and developing better technique. I have achieved all 3, the world's worst squat is now acceptable, I am close to my weight goal and I can lift a lot more than when I started. Braydn keeps me motivated and creates programs that mix things up to keep it interesting. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I started powerlifting about 4 years ago now with Braydn. He is a fantastic coach with a real passion for learning and improving his coaching skills which is very apparent with the results that he achieved with not only myself but every client I’ve personally seen him coach. Looking back over this time I think the thing that has kept me injury free comparatively to others is the fact that I was taught the right way the first time, which I thank Braydn for. Cheers

Fantastic experience: One of the most knowledgeable coaches available! As a personal trainer and former client myself, the Iron Born head strength coaches ability to apply the science and technical aspect of powerlifting is unapparelled. He helped me make gains that would rather be considered physiologically impossible without the use of anabolic steroids in a 6 month time frame. 10/10 the only coach I will ever send anyone who aspires to compete at an elite level.

Fantastic experience: Braydn was my very first personal trainer when I first started gyming when I was 16 years old. He has guided me to multiple powerlifting competitions and could not recommend him enough if you wanted to get strong, lose weight or anything fitness related. Forever thankful for everything he has taught me and I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for his knowledge and wisdom.

Fantastic experience: What a man!

Fantastic experience: I trained under Braydn when starting up for powerlifting, he guided me through starting up as a beginner all the way to being an advanced lifter. He’s always happy to teach and gave so much more than expected. Highly recommend him as a coach for anyone.

Fantastic experience: I got told years Ago from doctors after two knee surgeries, that i couldn't squat again and believed them for years. Until i met Braydn, he taught me move again ever since i've had a new lease on life and my own capabilities ! Also took my initial 130kg squat to 230kg in 6 months.

Fantastic experience: I started with Braydn a year ago to prep for a powerlifting competition which I placed 2nd. I think that speaks for itself. His knowledge of fitness and nutrition is one of the best I've come across. Whatever my goals are, he listens and tailors everything to that. Always checks in with you and is super supportive. Got a pretty decent squat too :P 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic experience: So knowledgeable and understanding, fixed my back, lost me 50kg and got me unbelievably strong at the age of 50!

Fantastic experience: Have been a long term client of Braydn for 3+ years and I have exponentially improved in my powerlifting abilities. Braydn is very attentive, considerate and works on a personal level to ensure your fitness goals are paramount. He will probably be my coach until I'm an old crippled man.

Fantastic experience: Have been a client of Braydn since late 2018 and have become a better lifter, lost some unnecessary weight, and am continuously improving every day. I cannot recommend him enough to anyone interested in strength training and wanting to get a coach.
