Carly Stone 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My progress has sky rocketed since starting with Coach Marty, adding 65kg to my Squat, 27.5kg to my bench press and 32.5kg to my deadlift in just under 5 months. Great community of like minded members, friendly and helpful, no shame in tripods or selfies, whatever floats your boat, there's no judgement and is mostly for coaching purposes. Great place, great comps, great people Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I'm a fitness professional since 2011 and have been to many facilities. Strength Haven is a phenomenal strength and conditioning gym in Cranbourne that I recently attended for a novice powerlifting competition. Martin (owner) put on a great event and I will certainly be encouraging more of my clients to consider competing and If you're reading this and you are a PT with some strong clients. I'd highly recommend it for you too. Both my client and I created a really positive memory. It was also amazing to see how much support everyone had for each other regardless of their strength levels. And to address the very limited 1/5 star reviews. I've actually known Martin since 2011 and he only has the best of intentions but if you don't know him, you won't know he is one of those blokes that isn't a big chatterbox. So don't misjudge his fewer words for rudeness. Like how people have different strength levels, not everyone has the same daily word limit too. Keep putting on great events and I'll try getting more clients down there too.

Negative experience: Rudest staff on the phone they treat you like idiots, if you ask questions they are blunt and barely tell you anything, not professional at all, couldn’t find a 0 star so had to do 1
