Fantastic experience: TSS has nailed the brief on creating an environment that is welcoming, encouraging and really feels like a connected and caring community. I have been taking my 11yo son to coaching sessions to help build healthy habits, strength and confidence for life. I have been blown away by the care taken to ensure his first foray into the gym space has been positive and FUN!
Fantastic experience: This gym is the best gym and exercise community I've ever been a part of. The beginners course has been really supportive and guided, and it's super satisfying to see yourself get strong every week. The vibe of this gym is so great, it's woman owned and there are so many diverse people and bodies that go here.
Fantastic experience: Most amazing gym there is. Schae the owner and operator is the most wonderful human who will guide you through your personal gym story, cheering for you the whole time. I've never known of a more inclusive and supportive power lifting gym.
Fantastic experience: The strength syndicate is a fantastic gym. The staff are attentive and look after both your goals and your well-being. He’s a very inclusive environment.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely best environment to progress as a lifter, both casually and competitively! Incredible space with great equipment and even better people.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym and community. Highly recommend the 12 week program for folks of any experience. I had none, but my confidence and ability has improved exponentially over the past 18 months at TSS. Schae and the coaches are all super helpful and supportive with their advice. Also plays great music (imo, 90s alternative and nu metal is underappreciated as workout music!).
Thanks Rory, appreciate your kind words. We loved having you join us for our 12 Week Beginner Course and it was an absolute pleasure to coach you.
We agree about the music too but we may be a little biased...
- The Strength Syndicate Team
Fantastic experience: Just joined! Friendly and supportive, and that applies to staff and other members.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and great community! highly recommend for anyone, regardless if you're an absolute beginner or have been lifting for years. The coaches here really know their stuff and are all passionate about lifting and helping people reach their goals.
Fantastic experience: As a physiotherapist, working with Schae and the TSS coaches has been extremely helpful and insightful. The business prioritises members safety above all else which is a refreshing change in the competitive lifting industry. Consistent communication between coaches and myself has helped accelerate rehabilitation of injuries so that the clients of TSS can get back to hitting their goals. Would recommend to anyone in the fitness and health industry.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of TSS for 2.5 years and I love attending this gym! I’ve been trained by several coaches and they are all experienced and kind who will help you safely reach and then smash your goals and then set even higher ones! There is always plenty of high quality Eleiko equipment available and the gym is clean, temperature controlled and has the post workout facilities. I’ve made some great friends while training, it’s a really welcoming place for people beginning to learn about lifting through to people competing in national competitions.
Fantastic experience: Best gym hands down. Schae is such a switched on and kind coach and I would recommend anyone at any level to join. The community she has built here has changed my life.
Fantastic experience: TSS is the best gym environment I’ve ever been in- equipment is top of the line, the people are supportive, expert and inclusive- THE place in Canberra for strength training! Never again will I ever wait for that one, dodgy rack in a commercial gym ever again...
Fantastic experience: Amazing facility with top of the range powerlifting equipment paired with very supportive members and knowledgeable coaches. It quickly became my second home, never a dull moment!!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Canberra!
Fantastic experience: I've been attending some beginner powerlifting classes for the last three weeks, at the strength syndicate. Shae and her coaches do a fantastic job in getting you started, week to week coaching and encouraging their students. If your looking for a gym that is no nonsense, isn't full a meat heat, is full of a diverse range of different sized women and men, this is your gym. Love it.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, high quality equipment and literally champion grade coaches. Welcoming to both new and veteran lifters - if you want to be left alone, you will be, but if you’re a team lifter or if you’re gonna test for that personal record, it’s meet day every day at the strength syndicate. I’ve become a harder, better, faster, stronger lifter since starting at the TSS. They got me to my first competition and I’ve never looked back.
Positive experience: Cool place to be fit....
Fantastic experience: Best powerlifting gym in Canberra!
