Train with us

Matt is the best at what he does, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with him over the years and the energy he brings to each session is like no other coach I have ever had.

Sometimes in pro football strength training doesn't get the priority it should. Knowing the importance of strength and conditioning I contacted  Matt and the team at Hammer and together we implemented a great program for the off season which got in great shape for my best season as a professional footballer. Can't thank them enough.

I can’t thank the coaches enough at hammer athletic designing a program specifically for me and what I’ve needed, pointing out strengths and weaknesses to help me with my ongoing rehab, strength and conditioning training

I have been training with these guys for about two years now and they are tremendous. All are tertiary trained and there is strong science behind their programming which is always tailored to individual needs. During the time I have trained with them I have advanced both my overall strength and technique which has worked well to keep me injury free. The business has evolved over the last two years and Matt and team are continually looking for ways to improve the client experience. Their new Strength and Conditioning program is the right mix of challenge and support and great value for money. Spending less than a $100 per week for personalised attention in a group strength environment is a great investment in your healthy future. Just give them a go.

When it comes to personal training and coaching there are loads of options out there but Hammer Athletic really are the best. The highly credentialed coaching team was the main reason I chose to attend the 2017 Hammer coaching program. Their training programs have not only allowed me to improve my knowledge and abilities as an athlete but also as a coach. Training at Hammer is always motivating and there is never a dull moment. I would definitely recommend to anyone!

The Hammer Athletic Coaching Clinic was an invaluable practical and theoretical experience. During the 6-week clinic, I improved my knowledge around exercise prescription and periodisation which were areas I lacked in after my completion of my Physiotherapy course. Now I have the confidence to apply these principles to all my patients. The coaching clinic is practical, evidence based and a bit of fun. Anyone coach wanting to further knowledge about strength and conditioning and sport science should get involved.

If you are ever looking for a place to train that is uncensored, invigorating and most importantly feels like home head to Hammer Athletic. I've worked in several gyms and I've never seen people who care so much for their clients. They talk the talk and follow it up by walking the walk. They don't see you as a dollar sign, they don't try and boast that they are the best gym in Brisbane (which they are), they work hard because they truly care for the health and wellbeing of each and every person who walks in the door. The only reason I've hit PBs and surpassed my goals both in fitness and body composition is because of them. Hammer is not only fitness, it's family - check them out.

I have trained here for 2 years now and during this time i have lost 8+% in BF, and seen an average 20% increase across my major lifts, let alone acquiring new skills in Olympic Lifting! A great group of people, that are far too qualified to be called personal trainers. Its not like any other gym i've been to, and i wont be trying any more. I've referred friends and family here, and no one has looked back! Keep it up!

I've been training with the Ham FAM now for several years and proud to say I've been a member since opening. Incredible facility, wonderful team, ridiculously good culture and easily the most knowledgeable, trained, educated trainers. Absolute students to the science and techniques and ensuring the best training methodology available and delivered in a way even a retard like me can adopt. Absolute privilege to work with. Thanks all.

Hammer Athletic is my happy place and my second home. I’ve been training with Matt Ham for 11 years now and have followed him around Brisbane training at four different gyms. That’s a fkload of pain, a lot of sweat, a truck load of swearing and inappropriate conversations, a shitload of laughs, and more importantly numerous PBs. I’ve become stronger, leaner and fitter than I could possibly have imagined. I absolutely love learning the Olympic lifting and weight training that we do! The culture and community environment that the team have created, along with their crack team of knowledgeable trainers, surpasses any of the training environments where I’ve worked out.

This is a sensational place to work out and train. The trainers and the team are top notch. They make you feel more than just a client they make you feel like family. Great atmosphere and the facilities are always improving and evolving.
