Black Flag Barbell Club

Best place for training with like-minded individuals who are at the gym for no other reason than to get in a workout that you can be proud of. Chris, Deb and Vince are the most knowledgeable and supportive coaches I’ve come across, and have cultivated an amazing atmosphere at Black Flag. I couldn’t recommend this gym any higher!

Black flag is the best strength gym I have trained at. The gym is clean, the atmosphere is friendly and supportive and the equipment in some of the best in Sydney (particularly if you are a competitive powerlifter.) Most importantly the coaching is A grade.

I have been training at Blackflag for nearly 18 months and this gym is nothing short of outstanding.The community of lifters is like no other as you feel like a valued member rather than just a number that’s experienced at commercial gyms. The level of coaching is easily the best I’ve experienced and is undoubtedly the best in the Hills district due to the engagement, experience and passion that both Chris and Vince have.You’d be silly not to give the gym a try especially as it offers a 7 day trial for you to experience it.

Training for many years and had yet to come across a gym which didnt give me anxiety every time I'd want to train. This strength gym is one of the first I've ever been to where all members are friendly and super supportive. Chris coach/owner is always willing to help his lifters reach their goals and actually wants to see them do well. No mirrors which is nice so you can actually focus on training and not a single ego out of the bunch.

Black Flag Barbell Club is an awesome supportive community. It's suitable for both beginners and experienced lifters. I've been a competitive lifter for a number of years now but I'm always learning new things from the experienced coaches at Black Flag who are both allied health professionals.I've also been recovering from hip surgery as a result of my ballet days and there can be a tendency to get a bit down in the dumps when you're rehabbing but being a part of this awesome community has allowed me to rehab in a positive frame of mind with expert guidance.It's allowed me to break down and rebuild my form to something that will allow me to move past the plateaus I've experienced.Thank you Black Flag Barbell Club! Best equipment in the Hills with even better coaches!!!

An amazing gym. By lifters and for lifters. There are no mirrors, no egos and most of all, no pressures. You train in a very supportive, community-like environment. Those lifting 40 kilos are cheered on by those who lift 400, it doesn't matter. Chris has created a wonderful, accepting and friendly environment that is lacking at a lot of gyms. The 24 hour access, parking and extremely close proximity to the new railway station and bus services make this an excellent choice. The gym is equipped to IPF standards, so even the more advanced and serious of competitors will find themselves right at home.

Awesome place to train at. Clean, well set up power lifting gym with the best culture and people I have experienced. Great for beginners and women who usually shy away from weights. Coaches and people are supportive and motivate you to achieve your goals. If you want to get fit and strong in a supportive culture, this is the best place to train.

I was looking for a gym with quality equipment and having coaches who actually listened to the goals I wanted to reach.Felt welcome and secure that I was in the right place to advance my strength and general fitness.Chris and the guys are a great bunch who actually taught me how to lift safely and correctly. All skills I now permanently use for a longer pain free strength gains.If you want results and good banter. This is your gym.

Chris has created a space that greets and welcomes anyone into the black flag community with open arms. The gym is a great place to train and the people there make the place even better. I’ve learnt a lot and have progressed far since joining here in August 2017 and I don’t think that there’s another gym in Sydney that has what black flag has to offer. Would recommend this place to anyone 10/10
