Brisbane North Barbell

I’m all honesty, this place is very unique to any other commercial gym. You’re not left empty minded while exercising. BNB isn’t just about lifting, it’s also about proper knowledge and understanding of what you are doing! Personally, I love this place because it’s not abnormal to ask questions to anyone around you. Your goals are the focal point, not the buck you gotta pay. The owner of the place will tell you if your doing something wrong cause no one wants to hurt themselves. And for numbers sake, I got my bench press one rep up 20 kilograms in literally two months since coming here. That’s how motivating this place can be!

Dave's Strongman comp days are run smoothly, are well organised, and are always loads of fun. He has quality equipment, and creates a very welcoming environment as well.

Just competed at the BNB Bash IX Powerlifting competition and I'm very keen to come to another event, that was awesome. The energy was epic. I really liked the whole flow of the day and having the TV's around with the attempts happening in real time was cool. Everyone was super nice and helpful which helped a lot because I was freaking out about lifting in front of a crowd for the first time. Awesome community of lifters down there, can't wait for the next one. Highly recommend getting some coaching with Dave if you want 100% honest feedback that will take your lifting to next level. I drive two hours there and two hours back for a one hour session and it's always worth the trip.

Great setup, I don't train here but I competed in my first PL competition here and had a good time. The coaches helped me prepare for and successfully lift on the day.

Dave at BNB holds amazing strongman comps. Great vibe, awesome for spectators, fun day :) 10/10 would reccomend

First time competing in a STRONGWOMAN event.Highly recommended for anyone and everyone to attendSuch a great place, great people and awesome atmosphereWill definitely be competing here again10/10

I have been going to BNB for strength training since 2017, and Dave has been responsible everything I have achieved since then. I cannot stress enough the importance of strength training for ALL sports activities, it builds the body up to be more robust from injury and also gives you a solid base with which to do any additional activities.As a result of his training and facilities I was able to get stronger and fitter than I have ever been, so much in fact I was able to re enlist in the army reserves after a break of 13 years. My body was able to take the punishment of Recruit training where although I still was not a good runner I was stronger than most and was able to take on tasks that my size and age did not suggest I would be able to do.Without his training I would never have been able to accomplish this challenge, I highly recommend all people should contact and train with Dave.

BNB runs the most cleanest comps I have ever been too. Dave has the event running so smoothly and on time. I love competing at them.
