Universal Strength & Conditioning

Fantastic experience: Wow, USC is great! Zac, Junior and the rest of the USC team provide friendly and supportive classes, and excellent guidance for all levels of fitness. The classes are a good mix of men/women, and different ages and capabilities so have a very accepting vibe - there is no pressure to be 'perfect', but a lot of encouragement and support to make 'progress'. Being outside is another bonus, watching the sunrise and the clouds on the hills around The Gap while excerising - perfect! I strongly recommend USC's team and their classes ...

Fantastic experience: USC gets my 5 stars! It has great supportive coaches, the class format is great always a good challenge no matter your strength or experience level. The extra bonus is training outdoors & a wonderful community of friendly people. With a recent injury the extra support of rehab services is just another plus that helped me have a quick recovery

Fantastic experience: I’m not usually someone who attends gym classes, but I decided to give it a go when a friend invited me along. The trainers are approachable, motivating, and consistently check and correct your technique. Since joining, I feel much healthier and have more energy throughout the day. I highly recommend everyone give it a try. USC has really surprised me with how refreshing and good gym classes are for the mind, body, and soul :)

Fantastic experience: I love my fitness sessions at this place great staff and friendly people highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy this Gym, great community atmosphere. All the staff are very accomodating. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Zac and the team at Universal Strenght and Conditioning are great! The classes are great and you can progress at your own pace. I have noticed a huge improvement in my strength and fitness over the 6 months that I have been a member.

Fantastic experience: I have been going here for 6 months now and it's by far the best "gym" I've ever gone to. Zac and the team are dead set legends with the exercise program and making sessions so fun (can't believe I'm using 'fun' and 'exercise' in the same sentence) and engaging. Not only that, there is it is so good for the soul to lift weights to the sunrise and the sound of birds as you look up at vibrant skies. I never thought I would be the type to keep up an exercise program, especially at a "gym" but I'm now definitely a lifer to this one

Fantastic experience: I have been going to USC for 9 months now and look forward to every session. The trainers are great and very knowledgeable. It's always a positive environment, and having the gym outside is unique and something that I really enjoy. I wish I had started going earlier as I have never felt as strong Thanks Zac and team

Fantastic experience: A great inclusive place to train and keep you motivated. Conditioning and strength classes that anyone at any level can do with no judgement, great group of people who always make it fun and with real support from the Coaches in technique, injury management, hitting goals. The ‘events’ are a real highlight of the community of the gym.

Fantastic experience: Zac and his team at USC are fantastic! They have created such a positive, encouraging and welcoming environment for everyone to come and train in. The workouts are well structured and explained, and they are always there to provide assistance on technique and help with alternate exercises as required. Truly one of the highlights of the week is going to USC. The team are supportive whatever your goals, the setup is great and being outdoors is just the cherry on top.

Fantastic experience: Zac, and the coaching team and members, of USC have helped me rediscover my training mojo. I highly recommend USC as a high-quality gym. There are 3 key things that set USC apart from other gyms. 1. Quality of Programming You get access to an app that shows you what the workouts are and Zac uses scientific principles of progressive overload an exercise selection to make sure that everyone’s strength and fitness is always improving. 2. Community of Members The broad demographic of members means there’s something for everyone. I’ve made some gym mates that have similar goals to me and help me push myself each session. 3. Outdoor Functional Gym The area is so cool – lifting weights and exercising while the birds start to sing, and the sun rises in the morning is an amazing way to start the day. The quality of the equipment is top level, too. They also run awesome events – I’ve just been through an 8 week Winter Warrior blitz, I’m competing tomorrow at an intraclub competition, Zac hosts technique and nutrition sessions, and they have member get togethers. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoying the strength & conditioning classes & feel really fantastic ️‍♂️. Thank you Zac for your encouragement ! Imelda

Starting with USC has had a huge positive impact on my health and fitness.

Fantastic experience: The team are great. If your like me and you hate the gym but you know it’s good for you. These are your people, they help coach and guide you. Best of all they don’t take them selves to seriously and will help you along the way. The people that go that go are a great mix from young and old.

Fantastic experience: I just LOVE working out outdoors! The format at USC give me a structure to my workouts while allowing me to choose my variation, weight and intensity.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined USC a few months ago. The gym has given me inspiration to get fit and enjoy fitness while working out . The staff are amazing, supportive and encouraging. The members who attend are lovely, like a big family . Loving the results I am seeing already. So glad I joined this gym , I just wish I had more time in my life to go to more than three classes a week.

Fantastic experience: Great trainers that provide a welcoming environment as well as challenging classes

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love that I found USC. I have never felt so welcomed by another gym and made to feel part of the team. I love the style of training - incorporating both strength/weights with cardio/high intensity conditioning to give you variation and keep it interesting whilst allowing you to map your progression on their training app. There are multiple variations for the strength workouts to suit all abilities and any past injuries which has been helpful. But overall the best part if USC is the team amazing environment. The coaches, the members, the morale and feeling accepted and supported is what I appreciate the most and keeps me returning class after class.

Fantastic experience: USC has been great, I first tried the 3 class pass and joined up after that. It’s a welcoming vibe and a really engaging and knowledgeable team.

Fantastic experience: For the first time....EVER... I have not only been able to drag my husband to the gym - he now looks forward to it!! We love the functional training style, the coaching style is very relaxed and not pushy, and the trainers remember our injuries and support the exercise and events we do outside of the gym. I would have no hesitation recommending Zac and his training team at USC. The environment is lots of fun and the music is great!

Fantastic experience: Love USC! Zac is very knowledgeable, patient and always finds a way to assist every person at every level of their fitness journey. Junior is fantastic and a great trainer too.

Fantastic experience: I am extremely happy with it. Zac keeps a very friendly and supportive atmosphere in the groups. With his guidance, it is also easy to achieve good results without excessive effort. Knowing that I should have started doing these classes much earlier.

Fantastic experience: Zac and team are awesome. Trying to get me to exercise in the first place is hard enough , but Zac has a real gift in keeping you motivated. In fact, miraculously, Zac has helped me and my teenage daughter consistent for a few years now. There is a real community there, and it is actually fun. It is the best "gym" that I have ever attended. Kudos to Zac.

Fantastic experience: Zac's program was made tailored to my individual goals, which seeing how specific mine are, he did a fabulous job. He's also helped me get my nutrition on track and helped me tremendously with my form. My strength and overall fitness is the highest it's ever been since starting with Zac!

Fantastic experience: Zac has been instrumental in my journey to looking and feeling the strongest and fittest I ever have (even after having 3 kids)! He is super knowledgeable and his programs are really well put together. Zac is really approachable and cares for his clients by checking in on them and answering any questions along the way.

Fantastic experience: I have completed 2X12 week sessions with Zac and found him to be very knowledgable and helpful. He was able to reassess exercises at an instant to cater for my changes in physical health - back pain, shoulder pain. He adapted the exercises to give the same benefits while allowing for the injury. He was always positive and understanding of exercise and life balance. The training app was also a great feature and Zac was constantly on top of ensuring it was updated with new exercises. Thank you Zac for your advice and positive manner.

Fantastic experience: Zac provides a professional business, while giving his clients an empathetic and caring session. He is able to give knowledge and experience to make sure his clients get the best outcome they can achieve. I have been Zac client for a couple of years and has improved my strength and fitness to a level I’m comfortable with. He has made sure I have achieved my goals, even with my injuries from my time in Army. In fact his PT sessions have improved all my injuries and I’ve been able to have a more enjoyable life.

Fantastic experience: Zac has been my PT for over a year now. He has been extremely committed and encouraging to me and has been a great help to me in achieving my health objectives. Zac always looks to ways to change things up, to make our sessions variable, and keeping them interesting and challenging. My PT sessions with Zac have become part of my lifestyle and I look forward each week to find out how he is going to challenge me to get the best out of myself.

Fantastic experience: Really happy to recommend Zac. He's very professional, punctual, works with my goals and my limitations to get good results. Good music choices for his workouts as well.

Fantastic experience: Zac has defiantly been a major part of my success at the gym and in my everyday lifestyle, he is an easy guy to approach with all gym/food related questions or even just to talk about bad or good everyday habits in and outside of the gym, which has made my experience working with him extremely beneficial. He is always happy to take time out of his day to give feed back, and is one of the most supportive people I’ve come across, Deciding to get in contact with Zac and start a program with him has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: I have had PT’s for over 25 years and put Zac at the top of all. He is very organised and writes excellent programs that are really challenging but realistic. He is also very personable and I can’t recommend him highly enough.?

Fantastic experience: From the day I met Zac he was genuinely interested in understanding my fitness goals and took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve. He created a plan with that in mind and we worked within a realistic time frame. He is so engaged and just as invested as I am in getting the results that I want. He's taken into account my injury, helped me manage my injury and made me stronger. I really can't recommend him highly enough. The best PT that I've had the pleasure to meet!
