Raise The Bar

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love RTB! I’ve been coming here for two years, and it has completely transformed the way I train and how I feel about working out. For the first time, I feel confident walking into the gym. I even encouraged my elderly father to join, and he’s now been a member for over a year—which speaks volumes about how inclusive RTB is, no matter your fitness level. Shoutout to Scott Fraser for giving it a go and proving that weightlifting is for everyone no matter your age or ailments. Beyond the training benefits, I’ve also met some incredible people—both coaches and clients—who make every session something to look forward to. I couldn’t recommend Raise the Bar more! If you’re on the fence, just sign up for the trial and you'll see what I mean. Issey ❤️

Fantastic experience: Josh and his team of A class trainers at RTB have helped me (an 42yr old mum of 2) achieve things I never thought possible! Like deadlift 140kg!! The programs are expertly designed and allow me to push myself each and every session and achieve my goals. All the members are so supportive of each other, it’s like a big family

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this Gym! The training here is top notch, with qualified trainers who genuinely care about your progress. They’ve transformed my body and fitness level in ways I never imagined. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and makes every session enjoyable. I was never a morning person, but now I wake up every morning excited to train. Worth every dollar for the expertise, support and the results you get. Highly recommend to anyone serious about their fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: Could not recommend more! RTB is such an inclusive and welcoming space, the trainers are so knowledgeable and cater to any injuries, and the programs are created so well that there is enough consistency to drive results and enough variation to remain engaged. Since moving out of the area I still come every week; I couldn’t imagine joining anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: I love going! Starts my day off in the best way. The vibes and energy is always high and the training programs are really good and definitely work. There is method to their madness :) I feel 100% stronger The machines and weights are in really good condition All progress is tracked and the trainers are fully across it too (they seem to have super human memory), always there to push you to do your best and support you. I feel like I have my own PT, even in a group or 4-5. There's no reason to feel insecure there unlike other gyms for new starters either. Alison, Ryan, Stefan are the best. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Great training programmes combined with a really supportive community of trainers and members.

Fantastic experience: “Love this gym! I joined with absolutely no experience in weightlifting, and now I’m here 4-5 times a week. The trainers are amazing and super supportive, the programming is great, and there are plenty of class times to choose from. I’ve made some great friends here, couldn’t recommend it enough! :)

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve ever trained at. Highly experienced trainers, a well-structured program and an absolutely buzzing place with great people. Classes are inclusive and cater to all levels. My strength and fitness have improved so much thanks to the amazing trainers!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at RTB for 6 months and it has completely transformed my training. My squat, deadlift and bench numbers have gone through the roof! I love the environment, coaches and the program. Best of all, there is a membership for any budget and the gym is so neat and clean . I recommend training here if you want to learn and level up!

Fantastic experience: Heya! I'm dropping a little comment about the gym and what it means to join the RTB community! Results Training twice a week - I’ve experienced a radical transformation of achieving my goal of losing 10kg over the course of a year. It’s been amazing, especially since I haven’t had to resort to crash dieting or overdoing my sessions. The focus now is building and strengthening my muscles! Experience The gym community is fantastic—I’ve made great friends across the board all ranging from different ages. The WhatsApp group is a brilliant resource for addressing topics and staying connected. The gym itself is tidy, respectful, and absolutely worth the value. The sessions are tailored with the trainers to help you improve each session, perform each exercise safely and with confidence. Been loving the new programs changes, keep it up RTB!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym! I train in the morning and genuinely look forward to my strength sessions. The trainers are incredibly encouraging, supportive and knowledgeable, creating an environment that motivates you to push your limits. I’ve been training with Ryan for over a year now and have seen amazing results - I’m stronger, healthier and more energised than ever. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend RTB highly enough! As someone who had never lifted a weight before, I was really intimidated by the idea of joining a gym. But RTB completely changed my perspective. From day one, the atmosphere was welcoming, friendly, and supportive. The trainers are knowledgeable and encouraging, and the community here is amazing—no judgment, just people cheering each other on. What I initially thought would be a short-term membership to build my skills has turned into a year, and I have no plans to leave. I’ve not only gained confidence in lifting but also found a space where I genuinely enjoy training and hit goals I never thought I would. If you’ve ever felt nervous about stepping into a gym, RTB is the perfect place to start. It’s not just a gym, it’s a community, and I don’t think I could have found a better more supportive place to start my strength journey.

Fantastic experience: Awesome workout program that allows you to track progress, backed by great trainers - always means you push at each session - highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Love training at RTB! It’s a super friendly and welcoming environment. All the trainers are knowledgeable and supportive. The small group training means that everyone gets enough assistance and modifications if needed. The programs are varied and keep it interesting. Excellent gym for beginners or people with years of gym experience!

Fantastic experience: After trying heaps of gyms and exercise programs, Ryan at Raise the Bar has helped me achieve the body I’ve always wanted Friendly motivation without the wank factor Thanks guys

Fantastic experience: I have been a member with RTB for about 3 years now and it is the first gym have I consistently trained at and actually look forward to going to. The small group PT structure really suits the way I like to train - personalised training without the cost of a 1 on 1 personal trainer. The RTB training program also means I don't have to spend time thinking or developing one myself, it is all done for me. The trainers are what make this gym and are second to none with their knowledge and professionalism. They are always more than happy to adapt for injuries, pain or skill level. I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to do strength training at any level from beginner to advanced.

Fantastic experience: Was trying to find my ‘mojo’ after a little hiatus from gym and finding the normal day to day gym workouts not hitting the mark. RTB and the small group PT classes have been excellent way refocus and achieve your training goals. The RTB team encourage, motivate and consistently monitor technique and adjust exercises if needed. The studio has a great fun and friendly vibe. Probably to much leg work though… just joking Ryan!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at RTB for over two years, and I can confidently say it’s the best training environment I’ve been part of. The trainers are highly skilled and always go the extra mile to tailor the programming to your needs, especially if you’re dealing with injuries. The focus on pure strength training (no cardio!) is exactly what I was looking for, and I’ve made incredible progress in my strength since starting. The community is friendly, supportive, and motivating – it’s the perfect place to train!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! The team is super fun, pay attention to all the little details and make every workout feel amazing! Can’t imagine going back to cardio. I actually feel disappointed if I can’t make the session. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Found RTB because I wanted focus more on good technique and seeing improvement on the numbers I was moving. And after 1 session with these guys and i was addicted. The community is such a vibe, not clicky at all, the coaches are so welcoming and non judgemental, if I have had an injury the team have made adjustments to the lift or workout to cater and they never made me feel awks for asking. The rtb crew really knows their stuff and I am seeing epic progress in the few short months since I started, hit some PBs and made some awesome friends. I tried a few gyms in the area but nothing is comparable to RTB. Highly highly recommended !

Fantastic experience: I genuinely look forward to each session and feel disappointed if I can’t make it! For someone who’s never considered themselves "sporty," this has been the best gym experience I’ve ever had, no exaggeration. I’ve been training here for almost two years now, and I’ve never encountered trainers who are as friendly, patient, and skilled. They really listen, work together with you to meet your individual needs (whether you’re injured or not), and push you just the right amount to help you see results. The atmosphere is also incredibly welcoming, with a great crew of people who make every workout session a blast! 100000% would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I'm obsessed with this gym and the change it's made in my life. It's probably the best decision I've made in the 5 years Ive lived in Australia. I wanted to find a class or gym of some sort and not just buy a gym pass because I have a back injury and knew I needed a place where someone was guiding me so I would, a) actually show up and b) not hurt myself. I work nights and couldn't find any gym that offered classes that weren't at 6am or 6pm until I found RTB. Their 10,and 11am classes are perfect for my schedule, and it's affordable. I love that it's all Weight lifting and no cardio. This is the first time in my life I've stuck with working out for more then 3 weeks and first time I've actually seen and felt results. The programs are challenging but very doable. The trainers are patient, clear and attentive, making you get your moneys worth. I'm in the best shape I've ever been in and look forward to sessions. And the biggest bonus is the friends I've made going here. It's not just a gym, it's a little community. The location, price, and results can't be beat. Run, don't walk, to sign up for this gym. (and that'll be the only cardio you have to do )

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at this gym for two years now, five days a week, and I’ve loved it. Shout out to the AM trainers—Ryan, Alison, and Christina — all incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Whether you're new to strength training or a weight lifting pro, they meet you where you are at and help you progress safely. Small group training, which means you get more coaching that other gyms. Even when I’m injured, the trainers help me modify my program so I can continue to train. Overall, it's a supportive and motivating environment that’s perfect for anyone looking to improve their strength.

Fantastic experience: After years (decades) of misadventures with my aspirations for fitness, I have found my nirvana. I joined RTB eight weeks ago and have consistently participated in 3 training sessions each week since. The space is great, the sessions are hard work but enjoyable and the trainers are the right balance between motivating and friendly. I never have to push myself to attend, instead I always look forward to the training session. I'm already seeing results from my efforts and can't wait to get back into it in 2025.

Fantastic experience: As someone who is relatively new to strength training, the RTB program has me addicted to training and excited to work towards my fitness goals. The trainers are all amazing, knowledgeable and motivating. Special shoutout to Alison who has helped me so much with understanding and improving my lifting technique. No matter who you book with, the workout is always fun and challenging. RTB has a great range of gym equipment, a training app to track personal progress, a body scanner and a great sense of community, highly recommend!! ❤️‍ RTB is my happy place!

Fantastic experience: I am only three weeks in, and can already see results!

Fantastic experience: This place is ace, beginner or weight lifting gun, everyone is welcome. I started here only a month ago and feel addicted :) all the trainers are really knowledgeable and supportive for each exercise, plus there’s the cutest dog ever, Thor, to keep you company before the session starts

Fantastic experience: Overall a great gym - knowledgeable trainers, friendly members and have personally had great results within 3 months of starting. Recommend highly (regardless whether your experienced or new to weights).

Fantastic experience: Great space, supportive trainers !

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with the best trainers around! First gym I’ve been to that I enjoy going to and can see real progress ☺️

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to raise the bar for about 5 weeks now. Complete newbie to gyms and from the start it’s been awesome! My first intro session with Ryan was really good, he was patient, non judgmental and funny. I’m super tall and awkward so was a little daunting but he was a super star. Josh and Alison have also both been equally as encouraging and helpful, so couldn't have hoped for a better bunch of trainers. Thank you! Seeing the changes and improvements in my body is grouse and I’m really thankful I’ve found a gym that is helping reach my full shred goals. If you need a gym get in there! - Chrissie

Fantastic experience: The only gym focused on strength training for my individual needs. Josh and the team push you in your sessions without being disrespectful. I have gained so much strength And changed my body shape entirely. The best workout you’re going to get on chapel hands down !

Fantastic experience: Popped in for a beginner session, seemed like a great spot to workout. Good pricing and Josh was very friendly. Will be coming back ! - Update i've been going back twice a week and it's great. All the trainers are supportive & very helpful. Great little family

Fantastic experience: Great Staff and Gym Environment. Everyone is very welcoming.

Fantastic experience: No matter which trainer takes the class, I always walk away with not only a solid workout ( and laughs ), but so much knowledge; Whether it be fine tuning my technique, more understanding of muscle groups or simply the 'why' in which the format of the months training is. Josh, Alison, Ryan, Ana & Kristian have all set the bar ( pardon the pun ) quite high for my training journey, and I really love the service the provide. Keep smashing it team! x ( And I can't forget Thor ofc! The resident Gym doggo that brightens my day ) ✨ If you want to level up, you wont be disappointed at RTB!! Do it!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym!!! I’ve been to a lot of gyms and owned a couple myself. RTB is leading the way! The Coaches are knowledgeable, supportive and make sure you’re pushing yourself towards your goals. Their programming and supporting apps have a very personal and professional approach.

Fantastic experience: One of a kind gym with supportive and knowledgable trainers! I began to hit all my fitness goals after I started at RTB!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym that is unbelievably well kitted out, but more important than that it's run by really nice and authentic people. I was dealing with Ryan who was beyond accommodating and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this place for anyone seeking quality personal training.

Fantastic experience: Work outs are fantastic so are the staff

Fantastic experience: Amazing and talented trainers. Awesome group classes and genuine people to train with. I'm loving my time with the RTB family. Seeing great results since starting. Increased strength and muscle mass while shredding weight. Win win ⭐

Owners Josh & Montana have really created something special here team. Smash them goals in the best gym on Chapel! (Also has the sickest legends mural wall)

Fantastic experience: Josh and Ryan are excellent coaches and are very welcoming and knowledgeable. The small group classes (up to 4 max) are a great way to keep motivated whilst getting a really good quality work out. All equipment is new, high quality and its always a really good vibe to train in. 10/10. Thanks Ryan and Josh!

Fantastic experience: This gym is everything I was looking for! State of the art equipment, knowledgeable and friendly trainers that made my workouts so amazing and enjoyable! Cant wait for you guys to be open again after lockdown!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Josh and Ryan for the last year now and they're both excellent coaches. If you are looking for small group training (up to 4 people) or one-on-one personal training, Raise The Bar is the place to go. The new gym is amazing, all equipment is brand new and high quality.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend these guys. Josh is my trainer and he has got me amazing results

Fantastic experience: Josh from Raise The Bar is highly recommended. I've trained with him for the past 6 months, he's not only super knowledgable but a great guy to train with. I'm the strongest I've ever been and couldn't recommend anyone better. Check him out.

Fantastic experience: Raise The Bar coach Josh has made me enjoy fitness again!!! something I use to do because I had to I now do because I want to. I have made some amazing and ever lasting friends through joining Raise the Bar as well as become motivated and passionate about fitness once again. Josh always changes up the programs so were never bored, he keeps up accountable and constantly challenged and encourages us to achieve our best! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my health and fitness needs.
