The Performance Training Centre is a strength and conditioning gym, just a few kilometres north of the Brisbane CBD.
We are focused on 4 main aspects when we spend time in the gym: 
-Powerlifting
-Increased sports performance
-Fat loss/Muscle gain.
-Increased cardiovascular fitness 

As a gym, it has only one goal; making people better versions of themselves. 

It doesn't promise anything. Whatever you achieve is because you put in the blood, sweat and tears to achieve it. There are no fad training styles, there are no fad diets, and there are definitely no fad trainers. Old school is still the best school when it comes to training and nutrition. 

You will not find a treadmill or exercise bike, rower or stepper at PTC. There are plenty of pleasure spas that have those. You will find lots of heavy weights, power racks, squat stands, Olympic bars, bumper plates, lifting platforms, kettle-bells, bands,chains, dumbbells, sandbags, kegs and atmosphere! 

Everything you need, and nothing you don’t. 

PTC is open to EVERYBODY, you don’t have to be strong, you don’t have to be fast, you don’t have to be lean. 

BUT 

As the owner and a lifter, I won't tolerate lifters not trying to better themselves; a poor attitude goes through a gym like cancer. Everybody that walks into PTC is there for 1 reason, and that's to give 150%. This goes for everybody. There are NO exceptions. 

If you’re after a no bullshit kind of gym and you want to train hard with like minded people, feel free to come and check us out.
