Barbell training has been the vehicle that has allowed me to begin the hard head and heart work to value myself amongst all the noise and expectations around me. For years now, I’ve been seeking the ability to be present, too often feeling that I’m floating in space. Like life is happening around me, but my feet are not touching the earth. Barbell training is grounding me, both figuratively and literally.

I joined TSF back in 2017. Originally I joined out of a genuine interest in strength training and was curious about what my body could do; moreover, do it under the tutelage of someone I looked up to within the powerlifting community. Over the years and thousands of reps later, it has become less of a gym and more of a second home with a warm and loving family of lifters all the more ready to cheer and support everyone's pursuit to get stronger. I always feel welcome and look forward to training every session alongside my friends as we spot, load and work in together.

I have been training at The Strength Fortress since October 2019. In that time I have found a love for powerlifting, I've improved my self confidence, learned many lessons that go far beyond the weights room and have become part of a community of amazing people. The Strength Fortress is the most welcoming place with a group of members committed to cheering you on and celebrating you regardless of if you're lifting 10kgs or 100kgs. Rather than being an intimidating space which most gyms are, TSF is an environment for everyone to feel like they belong and a place where you can achieve your strength goals regardless of what they are. Reaching out to Billie all those years ago was the best decision I have made and one that I wish I had done much sooner.
