A few of you have asked to see some pics of our new section. We took over the building next door last September and turned it into our upper body room. It is about 35 metres long so there is a row for chest, a row for back and a row for shoulders, each one the length of the building.
Our old back gym is now just for legs, there is a 25 metre row of leg presses and a 25 metre row of squat racks, smith machine, mono lift and lifting platform etc.
We now have 4 gyms around Melbourne, all 24:7. All real gyms for real people, not fitness centres or health clubs.
Enjoy. TD

When are you going to open one in Sydney?
Not sure when, I am more of an opportunist than a planner. So when the right building in the right street comes up, or when a good size gym up there is going under or ready to move on, I will jump at it!
P.S. Vince Basile, if you get sick of it, let me know.

Thanks for the pics looks great!
Thanks for asking, you got me off my arse to take some photos of it!

He has when in Melbourne but he lives in another part of the country.

This is the pin loaded area.
One of our promotional vehicles.

Property prices in Sydney are rediculous so makes sense.

I'd say he would rent a space but that is generally much costlier than Melbourne.
Problem with Sydney is that every fucker will try to shake you down... Especially the local council!

I'll just consider this thread a commercial break....

Which province, if I may ask?
Let me guess... showroom places with parquetry floors, filled with lazy/bored people doing cardio?
There are some decent/good gyms in The Hague and Rotterdam, but for me, they're a bit too far away.

holy shit, coolest gym i ever seen pics of.
what does ambiance or what ever stavios wrote mean?
-
Great!

Correct, that is why I would prefer to find one that is run down or tired with permits, parking etc in place. Also correct that I prefer to lease than to buy.

Great gym, this is better though www.wwtc.ie
-
Looks like a great gym - the photos on the walls are are nice touch too.
-
Looks very cool.
-
Nice! I wish there was a gym like that near me!
;)
-
I actually train there, no other gym like it in melbourne. Awe inspiring pictures everywhere, atmosphere alone will help you add 5-10lbs of mass.
-
This guy didn't answer any of my questions... Hope his gym FAILS!

I hope you had a good reason for that (a well-paid job and/or a busty farmer daughter)

It's a combination of those plus multiple misunderstandings plus wrong choices plus the price houses there and here, then and now...I might be back.

Problem is many of the independent gyms went out of business when fitness first expanded rapidly in Sydney. Even John Terilli's main gym closed down.

There's always a public for "independent gyms"; hard workers, who train with passion.

Wish there were gyms like this here.
I'd say "wish I lived in Australia", but I know what a fuckwit place it's been turning into.
-
Looks awesome ;)

Turns out the Amber Lamps guy is really a hermaphrodite, living as a male.

I got waht you meant, thanks for the comment, yes it is all about the atmosphere. I wanted to create a place that makes you feel like training.
PS I hate training in fitness centres and health clubs.

Hi Tony, it is always exciting to expand a gym and reorganize the layout and equipment. On first impression in your former gym it didn't look very big.
However, a tour through it found more rooms chock-a-block with good equipment. There was even a boxing room with resident care-taker-manager.
Will have a look next time I am in Melbourne. I will take some photos. The ones I took were with my little G10. Will do it better next time.
-
More photos of the old Dohertys Gym in Brunswick, I believe.
-
A few more.
-
Lots of atmosphere in this gym and I was there at a 'quiet' time when Tony wasn't there.
