This program is now in its 7th year of operation. Usually our most feared yet rewarding of all the things we do at Hammer. There is something about this program that makes us quiver and get excited. Each year we have modified, tinkered and improved this program and we are getting pretty good at the…
Whether your goal is to lose body fat, build muscle or become stronger or faster your focus should always be on one thing: improving your overall athletic performance. Athletes train in the weight room and on the field to enhance their talent and skill. Being the best lifter doesn’t necessarily make them a gold medallist,…
For the love of God you don’t need to get ‘fitter’ during the off-season. As we draw to the close of another long (seemingly long-er than the last) winter sport season, clubs and athletes are already preparing for what’s next. I can bet that most parents reading this have had their kids playing and/or training…
The final results are in so I can talk about the success of our 8-week challengers. You may recall my hesitation to do a challenge (see: Selling Out) but our participants in this challenge have made me a believer in the whole concept.

For those who don’t know, Chriso is known for doing some stupidly funny shit inside and outside the walls of Hammer Athletic. He once jumped 1 metre above the pull-up bars and somehow missed the bar and fell over…
Commencing Monday 2nd September 2019. This is a program for anyone who is competent with O-lifting or has had sufficient tutelage in it. To do this program you must have a good gym age with a good strength capacity. Basically, if you haven’t heard that terminology then you probably aren’t ready for this program. This…
Joely Lando you heard it – he’s back baby! After years of having an unused gym membership the big fella has really turned it around the past 2-3 months. We’re still unsure whether it’s due to him riding in supreme comfort in his new Mercedes Benz or whether it’s because his partner drags his arse…
