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. Not only because of how well they went during, but how well they…
Sure, strength training plays host to many benefits but nothing quite compares to seeing more kilos being added to your barbell does it? However, sometimes the understanding of the timeline for progression is lost and we must be careful with the messages we deliver to our clients as it is not a one size fits…
Janey Wala is receiving this accolade not only for the dedication she has shown since the 8 week challenge started but the fact she is married to Mark Wala. Not only does she travel to every corner of Brisbane delivering her children to sporting events, she has still found time to get to each and…
Chris Chew. Wow. Pigs are flying, Hell is freezing over and the world could end tomorrow. 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…

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…
A big change to our Junior Athlete Development is going to take place after the school holidays. Since its inception, we have battled with identifying the best way to get the kids in to make it worth-while and making it cost effective for both you the parents and us the business. To be honest, we…
“Hammer Athletic will NEVER do an 8-week challenge” – Matt Ham (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2018.) “Fuck it” – Also Matt Ham (2019) I have been very vocal about my dislike for 8-week challenges, 12-week challenges, 21-day challenges and every other variation of these ‘fitness challenges’. Now I find myself promoting and pushing the…
Hayden Whyte is our Best on Ground for April. Hayden is one of our LTAD athletes and has progressed tremendously through every new program which is attributed to his management of several training commitments – gym and field training, and football matches. He is now performing complex lifts with ease and getting stronger every week….
