Fantastic experience: What a great community The Strength Haven provides. I have briefly been to a couple of gyms previously, but nothing has been as welcoming as The Strength Haven. Thanks Marty for giving me the confidence and knowledge to achieve my goals!
Fantastic experience: Great equipment, greater staff very welcoming community. Started training here about a year ago. Was only planning on doing a few sessions to learn the basics. But fell in love with the place and the sport now no looking back.
Fantastic experience: Visiting my sister in Berwick and we decided to do a work out together. We went to strength heaven and it’s one of the best gyms I’ve been too. Very friendly and awesome equipment.
Fantastic experience: Amazing place to train with friendly members who are happy to help you out. Always a blast when I train there. 100% worth a visit. Gym can get crowded during peak times but there's enough equipment for everyone that u don't have to wait to do exercises.

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: Amazing atmosphere, energy, equipment and people. Love spending time here!
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.
Fantastic experience: Awesome facility, APU, GPC, BRB or TTYL. Everything you need for powerlifting, strongman, or just general everyday S&C. Truly the centre of strength in Cranny!
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming gym, great equipment to pick from and plenty of weight to go around even on busy days. Highly recommend for beginner too seasoned gym goers looking for a great gym!
Fantastic experience: Great gym to workout at, the people are all friendly and Marty the owner is very friendly and is always willing to help, would highly recommend this gym to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, great vibe, very friendly and welcoming, best gym I’ve been to in Melbourne. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: So glad I found the Strength Haven earlier this year. Marty’s an amazing and genuine coach. Everyone in the gym is super friendly and it’s such a positive and inspiring place to train!! 10/10 would recommend
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing gym with the most welcoming and friendly environment! Marty is an absolute legend and is so supportive of everyone no matter what level they may be at Been here for a little over a year and couldn't ask for a better gym!
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Been training with Marty for 6+ years. A wealth of powerlifting knowledge with some of the best strength training equipment you can find in the outer south eastern suburbs. Marty also holds novice competitions at least twice a year with people from all over Victoria competing.
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
Thanks for your feedback Springy, and very sorry you had this experience mate. We strive to make sure every member, customer, and any inquiry who calls experiences a friendly voice.
