Want to join Strength Block, our private gym on the North Shore?
At most commercial gyms, you're just another membership number. Recurring revenue where you are often left without direction on how to achieve your fitness goals. Gyms that are known to oversell their membership, resulting in incredibly busy spaces that half the time you can't get access to the equipment that you need.
Strength Block is different. Sure, we might be a smaller space, but our approach to looking after our members is completely different. We are personal trainers first and gym owners second. When we set out to start Strength Block, we intended to create a space that is welcoming, comfortable, and truly felt like it belonged to our clients.
It is as much your gym as it is ours.

More THAN
“just a gym membership”
A Curated Community
For Strength Block to "work" we have to foster a community. So whether you like to be social while you train, or put in headphones and escape from the world from the hour, our members all respect each other's space and work together to create an environment where we all look forward to crushing our goals.
At the end of the day, we are all after the same thing - to better ourselves, and have an awesome time doing it. Whether it's sharing equipment during busy times, lending someone a spot so that they can hit a PB, or just offering some words of encouragement.
Our main aim with Strength Block is to make sure that you always feel like you know what the next step toward your achieving your goals. We LOVE training and you're likely to often find either Sophie or Damien at the gym. We are here to help, to answer your questions, and to help out in any way we can. We aren't "gym staff", we're two coaches that are passionate about what we do, and we want to instil that passion into you. So never hesitate to tap into our expertise, whether that is to help with your form or to bust the latest fitness myth (Damien might pull you into a one-hour rant if you manage to trigger him), we are here to help.

Having a structured plan to follow is essential for me because it removes any uncertainty and makes every workout purposeful and effective.
I am currently challenging myself with the8-week Blitz plan, which is allowing me to push my limits and achieve new levels of strength and endurance. Having a structured plan to follow is essential for me because it removes any uncertainty and makes every workout purposeful and effective. The RPE calculator feature on the app is particularly helpful in this regard, as it enables me to track my progress and adjust the intensity of my workouts based on my abilities.

I loved the different ways I built strength, specifically for powerlifting and still incorporated the conditioning
Damien coached me for a few years during my powerlifting days. The programming (which is the same programming you find in the Strength Block App) was top knotch and the variety of the training was amazing.
I loved the different ways I built strength, specifically for powerlifting and still incorporated the conditioning which I enjoy.
Damien coached me to nationals where I smashed 3 national records. He is a legend and a great support!!

I'm in he best shape of my life
When I got back from Germany, I had to estart my entire life. Training is the pillar of ooking after my mental health and I'd let it lip. Without it, working on any other aspect f my mental health was so difficult. I was overweight and unhappy. 1 year on after using the Strength Block App and I'm in he best shape of my life. I'm strong, I'm appy, and I'm confident in myself again.
don't feel like this explains just how crazy he difference between now and then is. It's night and day. I'm a totally different person

This is a huge help for me getting back into high performance sport
Can I just say that within the I think last 5 days of doing this on the free trial I have noticed a MASSIVE difference in my core strength and connection along with my pelvic floor. I cannot thank you enough.
It's hard to find something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg that is gradual and not American... thank you! This is a huge help for me getting back into high performance sport - the confidence I feel using it is amazing as well as how easy this first block is to do in my lounge. Just bloody stoked!
