Strength Sanctuary

Fantastic experience: Best gym in brisbane. Incredible vibe and lots of equipment to use.

Fantastic experience: Came for a casual visit. I like to check out gyms for one off workouts as fun. Was not disappointed. The vibes are immaculate. The equipment was all old school stuff mixed with new set ups, proving that the place is continually invested in and looked after. The addition of the plants and insence and crystals and books add to it. They have a couple set ups outside which was great as the weather was perfect for it today. Can't wait to check out the recovery area in the future with the ice baths and jacuzzi. Not close enough for me to be a member but I'll definitely be back for sure.

Fantastic experience: A great local hub with skilled personal trainers, good equipment and a friendly atmosphere. Not your usual gym with plenty of greenery inside and outside. The recovery area with spa, ice bath and saunas is the cherry on top. Come check it out!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I moved to Brisbane from interstate and found such a beautiful community here at the sanc. I’ve made lifelong friends here. I trialed a couple of commercial gyms before joining the sanc but found them super intimidating and hard to build connections. I’ve been at the sanctuary for a year now - started off with group classes which was a great way to build gym confidence and now I do my own workouts. People are so supportive and friendly - cheering me on when I get PBs The gym also has a recovery section - ice baths (if you’re brave enough), sauna and magnesium spa. Also, the cleanest gym I’ve ever been too - and the plants! What a vibe I’m also super grateful that my spoodle (Milo) is allowed to join me for gym sessions. Location is also perfect as the back door is the entry to a big oval allowing post workout walks/play with Milo I could not recommend this gym enough! - Chrystal ✌️

Fantastic experience: Since joining the group fitness classes at Strength Sanctuary, I have increased confidence to show up and use gym equipment meaningfully. The check ins also gave me the opportunity to reflect on my current state, plan for progress, and stay accountable. One of my goals was to track my calories again, something that previous to the check ins seemed impossible. Now, for the first time in a long while, I am motivated and capable of tracking my calories. The support and structure at Strength Sanctuary has made all the difference, and I am very grateful.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! So much more personality and heart than any franchise gym or any other gym at all really. Love working out amongst the greenery and fresh air. Great range of kit, and the recovery centre adds a whole new dimension. DragonBall Z on the TV was distracting but no better way to spend time between reps. All the best Oren and Victoria!

Fantastic experience: I had my first experience here today and I honestly cannot wait to get back there! It is such a beautiful vibe with plants, books, recovery, and of course plenty of gym equipment. So much to focus on calm, mindfulness and recovery while also focusing on your targeted session. Cannot wait to return thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: great place to train friendly staff working overall great environment to train

Fantastic experience: I went so Strength Sanctuary after a few chaotic weeks to relax, unwind and reset. This place exceeded my expectations. What a beautiful environment- so peaceful and so zen. I left feeling completely relaxed and on cloud 9. Would definitely recommend this place for training & recovery.

Fantastic experience: Its has been a wonderful experience attending the group personal training sessions, really motivating and informative.

Fantastic experience: A well equipped and unique space, exceptional presentation and style

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I’ve been to! Immediately as we entered the gym, we were welcomed by other members and staff. José in particular was extremely kind and went above and beyond in touring us around the gym and in answering any questions we had. Everyone was super kind and the equipment was amazing, and could not be found at most other gyms. The gym has a very unique atmosphere with all the plants around and overall, it makes lifting a very nice experience. Lastly, the recovery room is also something to see! It has a sauna, ice bath and hot tub which is perfect for post workout recovery. Overall, great experience at this gym, I would absolutely recommend this gym to anyone looking for a community at the gym and great equipment.

Fantastic experience: I was told to visit this gym from my wife after she said she loved it. She wasn’t wrong what an amazingly cool gym. Very different to most of your ordinary standard gyms which I love. Very jungle gym like with great positive vibes and the staff were lovely. I met with Jose, to show me around. Top man he is. Equipment was awesome and the recovery area was bliss. We will be back for another visit sometime in the future thank you Strength Sanctuary team ✌

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with amazing equipment you can’t find anywhere else, great supportive and motivating vibe and the loveliest staff! José was extremely friendly, warm and welcoming, as well as every other member and staff member I encountered during my session there! This gym is the perfect environment to push yourself, test your limits, make progress and then recover in the Recovery Area. I highly recommend visiting this gym if you want to have the best session, meet the friendliest people and treat yourself to a recovery session!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with an awesome layout including an outdoor recovery centre. Highly recommend. Very welcoming owners who are creating a tight nit community. (You are also allowed to bring your dog!)

Fantastic experience: For me the hardest part of going to the gym has always been just walking through the front door. But at this place, that’s the easiest step. The friendly staff and welcoming regulars create an atmosphere where you instantly feel at home. With everything you could want in a gym—and more—I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym with amazing staff and trainers! I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a peaceful and quiet workout!!!

Fantastic experience: I've been fortunate enough to visit Strength Sanctuary on a couple of occasions. I often find the thought of going to a gym I'm unfamiliar with to be quite intimidating. However, each time I've been to Strength Sanctuary, I was welcomed by the very friendly and accommodating team and community. They have all the equipment I look for in a gym, as well as a very relaxing recovery area. Overall, the atmosphere of the gym and the kindness of the team are next-level, far better than any commercial franchise I've been to. If it weren't for my location, I would definitely frequent Strength Sanctuary more often.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in for a gym session and to use the sauna and bath house area. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable. There's a great mix of indoor and outdoor areas to choose from to do your workout. Absolutely loved a sauna and ice bath post workout, best recovery for deload week! I'll be keeping an eye out for more Strongman equipment for the future!

Fantastic experience: The energy at this gym is like no other! The genuinely amazing people, the many many many plants, the range of equipment, the holistic and balanced approach to health and wellness, and more - all of it!

Fantastic experience: I tried this gym, and I really like the equipment, the staff, and the beautiful decorations. There’s a real soul to this gym! Unlike commercial gyms! I’m going to sign up next month, I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve been to. The plants throughout the facility create a fresh and welcoming environment, which really sets it apart. The owners and staff have a strong focus on supporting members and the wider community to grow, which is something I’ve found to be quite rare. They genuinely care about helping people achieve their goals, and it shows in everything they do. Their club manager Jose has been extremely approachable and helpful. It’s a gym that truly goes beyond just fitness—highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to be and with a different experience involving gym. Natural vibe and staff very welcoming

Fantastic experience: The Strength Sanctuary in Brisbane is truly exceptional. Everyone here actively supports and uplifts one another, creating a welcoming and empowering atmosphere. The gym’s focus on mind, body, and spiritual growth takes the experience to an entirely new level. The aesthetic is stunning, with its beautiful grassed areas and outdoor spaces for squats, bench press, and deadlifts. The outdoor workout I had here was absolutely unforgettable! Thank you to the team for your kindness and incredible energy. This place is a gem!

Fantastic experience: If you’re already reading reviews, you may as well come down and meet Oran, Victoria and the team for a session. After training in franchise gyms for years, I traded my membership for strength sanctuary and actually felt motivated to train again. Training in natural light, surrounded by greenery and good people, coupled with the recovery area and great trainers with expertise has changed my training experience and I guarantee it’ll change yours. The gym itself is filled with fantastic people who actually take the time to talk to you and each other. Everyone’s accommodating and always happy to see and meet new members. Oran takes his business seriously, always asking members for feedback and always looking for the next improvement and upgrade to the gym. Recent improvements include the barrel sauna and the library, giving us the option to further better ourselves not just physically, but mentally as well. Don’t take my word for it. Come and see for yourself.

Fantastic experience: The Strength Sanctuary offers a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment. The staff are incredibly friendly and approachable, making you feel right at home. The recovery area has an amazing barrel sauna, ice bath, and jacuzzi – the perfect way to unwind after a training session. All in all a great place to grow your muscles and grow your mind!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Amazing staff. Great equipment and always clean. 5/5

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a friendly community and top-notch equipment. The staff is supportive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! Oran, Vic and Cass have made me feel very welcomed as a member of Strength Sanctuary. The community and gym vibe is fantastic, and I love training in the indoor and outdoor spaces. Awesome range of strength training equipment and recovery area with ice bath and sauna.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym/ atmosphere! Everyone is super friendly and inspiring. There’s nothing like the sanc!

Fantastic experience: Strength Sanctuary is a sanctuary away from all the BS you find at commercial gyms. I started working out here as I was sick of overcrowded, loud, and obnoxious people in commercial gyms. Everyone is so friendly and up for a chat at any time and on the other hand if you aren't feeling like talking then people will leave you alone. Its honestly so refreshing, all members are on different weight loss/ weightlifting journeys and Strength Sanctuary is there to accommodate and assist with achieving our personal goals. The staff are polite and knowledgeable and understand everyone’s lifting experience is different. If you require assistance, spot on bench or a demonstration the staff are always happy to help with zero judgement. I have been paying for the recovery section and only used it once, I’m not a big recovery person, however I see a lot of the members using it either after there workouts or on their rest days which has given me the motivation to use it more. The equipment is great, they have everything I need and more. I have never had to wait an overly long time to use a machine and or people are friendly enough to ask them to work in. If anyone knows who I am, feel free to work in anytime with me. I absolutely love the plants as I feel like I am a beast pumping iron in a jungle. I also like how I haven't seen a single tripod or people obsessing over themselves in the mirror taking photos. Also big fan of the dog friendly vibes and the members who feel comfortable bringing there fur pups to the gym. It always brings a smile to everyone’s faces when they've just crushed a set to failure and then get to pet a dawg. No obnoxious people. No wait times. No BS. If you’re chasing good vibes, a healthy environment and sick pumps. I'll see you at Strength Sanctuary.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Oran for approx 8 months and, as someone also in the health industry, my mindset has shifted to my training thanks to Oran. The environment at Strength Sanctuary is also so welcoming and calming that I want to go train which has built up my consistency, the most important part of any training regime. The gym also is green with so many plants, boasts an impressive library, available to read while in the gym, and also an impressive recovery centre. Highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: If you didn’t know it was there you’d walk right by but it’s worth the detour. From the minute I stepped in the door nearly 12 months ago it felt so welcoming by not only owners Oran and Victoria but all trainers and other members. The kind of gym you don’t need or want to wear headphones in! The plants and artwork are a vibe and I always find new book titles in their book corner. My favourite spot is stretching in the loft space amongst the plants and books. Gym equipment that you don’t always find in other commercial gyms with an added bonus of a recovery area. Highly recommend checking out strength sanctuary!

Fantastic experience: The Sanc is the best place to train in Bris, hands down. I’ve tried many other gyms but nothing compares to the state of the art equipment, community and overall vibe. So much so, I’ll drive 15 minutes out of my way just to train. Oran, Vic and the team are so welcoming and down for a chat anytime. If you’re looking for a place to train hard, a sanctuary to grow your mindset and become a better version of you, this is it. Big love

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with a great community. The staff and other members are super friendly and it's never too busy. I've trained at a few gyms and have never had a better experience than at Strength Sanctuary.

Fantastic experience: The best gym ever! A community of people who really care about each other what matters at Strength Sanctuary usually gets lost in franchised gyms. If your looking for something more when it comes to your gym experience come and check SS out you won’t be disappointed

Fantastic experience: Fantastic environment fantastic equipment coming up to my two year anniversary Oran, Victoria and especially his team great to deal with and always help you with any questions

Fantastic experience: Great culture great vibes! More than just a gym, love this place

Fantastic experience: I have train there for over a year now and had an amazing experience so far the staff there a kind and helpful. Community is amazing and vibes are awesome

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Brisbane. Great facilities such as the ice bath and saunas and super good vibes

Fantastic experience: Dopest gym i’ve ever been to. it’s not like your typical commercialised gym setting. i come to work out but, i stay for the plants, the positive vibes and the good music. Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming! - They also have a “recovery room” with a sauna and ice bath which is a nice little treat after working out. I highly recommend this gym!! The owner is an absolute gem that genuinely cares about his clients. Oran and his beautiful partner Victoria are the most down to earth people - so if you’re considering joining, go chat to them. i have no regrets. Thank you Strength sanctuary!

Fantastic experience: The sanc is the most wholesome gym community to be a part of! Oran and Victoria are always so welcoming to everyone who visits. The equipment is next level and they are always looking for any other great additions - their new citadel strength equipment is amazing quality. Aside from all of that, the sanc also has such a relaxing and holistic vibe - so many plants and gym pups + sauna & ice bath area! I absolutely love this place

Fantastic experience: Strength Sanctuary is a unique and welcoming gym with great trainers. I've been a client for over a year and always benefit from my visits. Whether it's a PT session with Oran, meditation and breathing with Victoria or time in the ice bath/sauna, this place really is a sanctuary.

Fantastic experience: This is such an amazing unique gym! The atmosphere is amazing super supportive just like all the workers and members! It’s a beautiful gym with amazing equipment and facilities and it feels like your training forest! Cannot recommend this gym more!

Fantastic experience: My favourite gym ever! Amazing staff and always more than enough great equipment to go around between members. Superb value for what you pay for and the community here is worth even more ❤️

Negative experience: I wanted to share some feedback regarding my experience at your gym. While I appreciate certain aspects, there are areas that require attention. The gym equipment, in general, falls below expected standards, with some machines being potentially dangerous. Wobbly and uneven second hand equipment, that has given me back issues. Resistance equipment with squeaky unmaintained pulley systems. I strongly advise members to request demonstrations from staff, especially concerning the custom-made pendulum leg press, which I found to be a safety hazard (first hand experience). The ice bath, from which I unfortunately contracted a UTI, does not undergo water quality testing. I urge you to implement regular testing to ensure the health and well-being of all members. Additionally, this is an old deep freezer converted into an ice bath, with the power consistently running, even when in use, making it a very dangerous electrocution risk. I originally signed up with this gym, on account that they had this facility. However, management decided to create a seperate segregated area for this amenity and commenced charging an extra $10 a week on top of regular fees, for all members usage. My expressed disappointment to management, about this alteration, was met with no apologies or possiblity of accommodating a resolution. Instead I was berated with the claim management was entitled to make changes to contracts at any point in time, without notifiable agreement from members. This is unlawful and incorrect and begs the question, why have a contract at all? I also faced difficulty accessing the first aid kit when needed. The presence of uneven floors with cracks filled with fake grass poses safety risks. A significant concern arose from an incident involving a staff member who exhibited a complete disregard for personal space. Despite informing her of my neurodivergence and expressing my value for personal space, she insisted loudly and incorrectly that I was required to mention this on my joining forms. This misinformation is both false and a blatant deflection. Addressing these issues will undoubtedly enhance the overall experience and safety for all gym members. I trust that the management will take these concerns seriously and work towards creating a safer and more accommodating environment. Note* The excellent google reviews for Strength Sanctuary are mostly, if not all, written by the owners friends. It's a very supportive community of young people. I commend this aspect of this business, but keep in mind, most of the five star reviews you read here are not an accurate description of the amenities or environment. **The response to my concerns is a lot of hot air. Well worded nonsense. A simple resolution could have been reached. But Vicky has a lot of growing up to do.... All the best on your journeys.

Fantastic experience: Not just a gym. Brisbanes best hidden sanctuary for self excellence. A safe, humble and welcoming place for all lifters no matter your chosen field of exercise.

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I’ve been too. The atmosphere is incredible. Everyone is so lovely! The owners are such welcoming and kind people which makes it even better. Love to see the gym getting updating equipment and there’s also a sick recovery room with an ice bath & sauna too. The vibes are just immaculate. I live 30 minutes from this gym but make the effort to go there 3-4 times a month, simply because I love it so much. 10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Having been an avid gym goer for many years, I can honestly say that Strength Sanctuary is the best gym community I have ever had the pleasure to be a part of. What sets Strength Sanctuary apart from the rest? Where so many gyms are indoor, underground with little to no natural light or fresh air, Oran and Victoria have really created a unique indoor / outdoor garden with a chilled vibe and friendly 'family' atmosphere. You are always made to feel at home and pooches are welcome too!

Fantastic experience: I signed up a year ago, and this gym has radically changed my life! The vibes of this place are incredible, the members are all welcoming, and you feel at home as soon as you walk through the door! The outdoor area and the sauna/ice bath space are magnificent, what a treat to soak up the sun after a heavy session and an ice bath!! Training at the sanctuary is definitely a game changer in your journey towards well-being and strength! Massive thanks to the Sanctuary and its entire team.

Fantastic experience: One of the most welcoming, friendly and well equipped gyms I’ve had the pleasure of training at. The staff are constantly coming up with new and fresh ideas to bring the community closer together, as well as gathering feedback and implementing new, amazing equipment to facilitate anyone and everyone’s needs. Oran and Victoria also consistently offer helpful insight towards both your physical and spiritual journey. Whether you are an experienced lifter, or are beginning your fitness journey, you will feel instantly welcomed, accommodated and an integral part of the amazing community Could not recommend enough

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience at Strength Sanctuary! The trainers are knowledgeable and supportive, creating a motivating environment. The variety of classes and state-of-the-art equipment make each workout enjoyable. The facility is clean and well-maintained. Overall, I highly recommend Strength Sanctuary for anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: This gym has to be the most iconic facility I’ve ever experienced. Has the best gym culture for any newcomer or highly experienced trainer or athlete to become a part of. High end equipment, top tier personal trainers, group classes, ice bath, sauna, relaxing areas, community days and animal friendly. If you want to try something new and immerse yourself into the best gym culture I highly recommend Strength Sanctuary ❤️

Fantastic experience: I never liked the gym before I discovered Strength Sanctuary, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and positivity that instantly sets the tone for your workout. The atmosphere is simply inviting, with plants everywhere it truly is a vibe (also getting a plant on sign up is awesome)*) What truly sets Strength Sanctuary apart is its sense of community. The owners, are always approachable, whether you need a chat or some expert fitness advice. Their genuine passion for helping others achieve their goals shines through in every interaction. I also appreciate the dog-friendly policy, as it adds an extra layer of comfort and homeliness to the gym. It's clear that Strength Sanctuary isn't just a place to work out; it's a place where people come together to support and encourage one another on their fitness journeys. If you're looking for a welcoming environment, positive vibes, and a supportive community to kickstart your fitness journey, look no further than Strength Sanctuary. It's more than just a gym it's a sanctuary for both body and soul.

Fantastic experience: The Sanc is a welcoming, friendly, fun, dedicated gym with a vibe incomparable to any other. Not only does it provide a safe and encouraging environment/community, the staff are very knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Would absolutely recommend viewing their library of books, the recovery sessions and meditation classes!! This amazing gym supports all aspects of self development and improvement.

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere; the people; the equipment; all makes this gym the best in Brisbane. I cannot express how grateful I am for my time at this place. Amazing.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym - one of the best in Brisbane. Is you’re into any style of weight training, this is the one. Brilliant equipment and super-helpful staff!

Fantastic experience: You know this place is amazing because you came and never left. ‍♀️ More than just gym it’s community

Fantastic experience: Great gym. The classes are great for people that's new to the gym or need some extra motivation like myself. Everyone there is very friendly and knowledgeable. Mad props to Bill for being awesome!

Fantastic experience: Unreal place to train, the vibes are amazing, everyone is so friendly and make you feel so welcome. Trained here once and immediately bought out my contract at a commercial gym. After a couple of months, still excited to come in and train, the community really makes the gym.

Negative experience: I just go there to give Oran hugs tbh.

Fantastic experience: It’s a good one

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Great vibes

Fantastic experience: Community is so welcoming and friendly. 10/10 equipment

Fantastic experience: Good tunes, good equipment, good staff- overall the place to be

Negative experience: This guy wouldn't leave me alone talking about breath training.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, will definately be coming back when I’m in town again

Fantastic experience: An actual sanctuary that cares not just about their members physical health but their mental health too +10000 points for all the plants

Fantastic experience: Really cool facility, great vibes, staff are legends and you won’t find an ice bath that cold anywhere else!!

Fantastic experience: The most unique & supportive gym, you won’t find another gym in Brisbane like it.

Fantastic experience: Old school lifting gym feels with the most epic equipment, the most amazing positive vibe & an extremely welcoming environment. The least intimidating gym I’ve ever been in

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best training environment in Brisbane, if your well established in your training or you’re completely new to the gym scene you couldn’t pick a better place with amazing people to support you.

Fantastic experience: Best atmosphere you'll get at a gym. Everything you need is there and more. And the cherry on top is the owners and coaches who really care about members and their mental and physical growth.

Fantastic experience: 110% would recommend checking out this gym! Such an incredible environment and gives plenty of opportunity for mint photos/ videos!! Thanks guys, will be coming back!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a gym that helps develop your mind body and soul— this is the place. The gym has such a nice vibe and you leave feeling energised, not drained. The crew with Adzy and Oran, continue to put out an amazing energy — that attracts a community keen to train and raise good vibrations. Love it.

Fantastic experience: As a health professional, I feel that strength Sanctuary is at the cutting edge of the health and wellness space. Walking into this space feels like home. The members and staff are warm and welcoming, the equipment selection is everything you could ever want or need, and the inclusion of breathwork and cold plunges makes for a holistic solution to heath. For anyone that wants to work on their body and mind this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: Ever since starting at Strength the journey to a road I’ve been manifesting for finally begun. The vibes in this gym are completely unreal and the community is unbelievably welcoming would definitely recommend coming down and saying a big hello to the boys as they greet you with open arms and possibly a plant

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym in Brisbane. The Team at Sanctuary have built an absolutely unreal community driven gym tucked away in Stafford’s industrial area. Strength Sanctuary has tones of high quality weightlifting and bodybuilding oriented equipment aswell as multiple types of barbells and weight plates from rubber bumpers to steel to calibrated plates and they are always adding more! I can honestly say its the only gym ive been to that has had everything i was looking for. The Team at Sanctuary are incredibly passionate and knowledgeable and are always ready to lend a hand with a spot or share some advice towards your training goals, they absolutely froth what they do and it’s reflected in the space they’ve made. lighting isnt bad either ✌️

Fantastic experience: Strength Sanctuary is the kind of gym that you don’t even need to bring your headphones the vibe, music and ambiance is that amazing!! Unlike commercial gyms, Strength Sanctuary have great quality powerlifting equipment and owner and management are very lovely. I look forward to every session at this gym.

Fantastic experience: Truely is a sanctuary, with the rare and welcoming environment of like minded people who constantly lift you up and push you to be the best person you can be in order to achieve your goals! The owners make sure to keep the vibes in check and appreciate each and every person in their own journeys, Definitely Brisbane’s best gym ♥️

Fantastic experience: This gym has changed my life, I have grown so much physically, mentally and emotionally from the few years I have been there. The atmosphere is amazing, the staff and the coaches take there time to make you feel comfortable and at home. The members of the gym make you feel connected within a community and are always supportive of my goals. The plants, artwork and music are all so on point which I haven’t been able to find anywhere else. I have done breathwork sessions that they offer and the results have been life changing for my mental health. They also have ice baths too which is something I have started doing daily and the physiological benefits have been astounding. I couldn’t recommend this gym anymore if I tried.

Fantastic experience: Strength sanctuary is more than just a gym. It’s a very welcoming and supportive environment filled with an amazing atmosphere and amazing people. The moment I joined, it felt as if I was part of the family at strength sanctuary and it really is the best gym in Brisbane

Fantastic experience: Strength Sanctuary is an incredibly safe, supportive and beautiful space to learn, train and grow in more ways than one. The holistic approach and authenticity that is displayed by the staff and members make it the best gym in Brisbane to train. very grateful for the kindness I’ve encountered there and encouraged by the progress I have seen in myself since I’ve been there.

Fantastic experience: How many gyms do you know that if they were on fire, every member would be there to help? The facility really is a sanctuary, not just a gym. Every member of the team has so much wisdom to share, offered with genuine connection. They want members to be involved, and you feel like you’re really apart of the community. They actively listen to your requests on equipment and facilities, and seek to know how your experience could be improved. The community are all about growth: physically, mentally, spiritually. The interactions are always a 1+1=3 situation, and can feel that the community wants to support you. At the same time, if you want to put your headphones in and tune out the world then you have that availability. Thank you for great music, a variety of good equipment, ice baths, puppy cuddles, breath work, great chats, and sick shirts.

Fantastic experience: Easily best gym in Brisbane. Incredibly welcoming and the community created is second to none. Joined 4 months ago and will never go anyone else. Congratulations to Oran and the team on what they have achieved with this gym.

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt the BEST GYM IN BRISBANE! I’ve been to a few different gyms over the years but Strength Sanctuary takes the cake!! It’s more than just a gym, Oran, Adzy, Rex and the team go above and beyond to create a beautiful space and community that supports both physical and mental health and well being. I’ve been a member for 6 months now but it feels like I’ve been going for years. Everyone at the gym is friendly and welcoming and I would recommend Strength Sanctuary to anyone of any fitness level or age!

Fantastic experience: Updating my review after 5 months of training here weekly. Great gym with a friendly and focused environment. There’s no bench campers, there’s no people sitting on their phones, there’s no judgement. The people that use this gym are getting in and getting it done but keeping a smile on their face while they’re at it. It’s hard not to with such a big space, loaded with plants, natural light, outdoor areas and considered choices when it comes to purchasing equipment/fitting out the gym. They even play good music (unheard of for a gym). The community is encouraging and active in supporting you whether that’s an owner, trainer or general member. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Fantastic experience: This gym has totally changed my perspective on fitness. I have been a member for almost 6 months now and have grown both physically and mentally as a result of being a part of this amazing community. The whole team are amazing and awesome to chat for a bit of extra guidance throughout the journey. The vibes are perfectly in tune with my life, I love the plants, the design and the especially the music. I have already recommended the Sanc to a number of friends and colleagues and am excited to see how it grows. I love the clothing line and it always sparks a conversion with strangers who recognise it or the gym in the most random situations, which I love and am happy to talk about the Sanc. Thanks for everything team <3

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with fantastic PTs and the most welcoming culture I've ever seen. It's a unique space, beautiful to train in and great equipment.

Fantastic experience: By far the best gym i've ever been to. Has character that you cant find at other gyms.

Fantastic experience: I have been with the gym for nearly 2 years. I’m retired; however I have been made to feel very welcome by all the youthful gym people. Oran and the team are to be congratulated for their inclusive atmosphere. It’s a great gym and I am glad to be part of the patronage.

Fantastic experience: Love the sense of community at this gym, as well as the uniqueness of the artwork and greenery A good range of equipment is also available

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing atmosphere and community! Arguably the best gym in Brisbane. The group fitness classes have a really unique approach that achieve incredible results! Bill and Blake are amazing coaches. 5 Stars!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing vibe! Great diversity of equipment . Management is so friendly and inviting ! Very welcoming to new-comers. Great gym to train in if you’re looking for a good atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Have been to a few commercial gyms before going to strength sanctuary - can safely say will never go to a commercial gym again. Culture at strength is great and very supportive - never bad energy at this gym. 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Had an unreal time at this gym. Beautiful plants hanging everywhere around the gym. Such fresh oxygen to breath. Backs on to a big cricket oval if you want to go for a run. Super friendly staff. Gave us a free session first time coming. Plenty of wonderful machines to get huge and jacked inside and outside if you want to do some squats in the sun. Great outdoor/functional area to use if you like the CrossFit style workouts with air assault bikes, concept rowers, Kettlebells, etc. There's a shower aswell if you want shower on the go before leaving the gym. There is also 2 huge freezers you can jump in for and ice bath to get the most out of your recovery. Would 100% recommend. There is not many independent gyms that are as unique as this beautiful place and everyone should go regardless of your fitness level.

Fantastic experience: Was a excellent place to train . Great vibe and friendly people as well as great equipment and music . Highly recommended to anyone who loves to go to gym .

Fantastic experience: This gym has everything! Never seen a spot like it. The people, the artwork and the atmosphere all 10/10

Fantastic experience: This gym is EVERYTHING. The atmosphere is perfect and makes you want to go super saiyan :-) Such a great community here. Can't wait to come back!
