What we don't have

We skipped the fluff.

An old-school training space built around great equipment, good people and a shared love of lifting. No egos.

400 treadmills

Great equipment

We only have one treadmill. The rest of the floor is racks, plates, dumbbells and machines, both new and old school.

Real community

An environment where you're actually going to get to know the people around you.

The story

"I spent the better part of that year finding equipment, setting everything up exactly the way that I wanted it. And then I realised I'd forgotten one fairly important thing. To tell anyone about it."

About a year ago, Sam opened The Lifting Shed: a members-only gym in Mulgrave dedicated to a strong, tight-knit community centred around strength training.

In the Shed's own words, it's a community gym "passionate about shifting tin and having a good yarn with great people."
