Iron Tribe has a welcoming, positive, and family-oriented atmosphere. Chris and the coaching team bring incredible knowledge and an understanding that life impacts training, adapting sessions to suit you when life hits hard. Even when a session hasn’t gone to plan, I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. The support is constant — everyone is truly in your corner.

I’ve been going to Iron Tribe for just over 2 years now and I wish I had of joined earlier! In the last 2 years I’ve not only improved on my weightlifting but have made life long friendships along the way. The vibes are always high and the Iron Tribe community is truly one of a kind! Coach Chris is such an amazing coach both in and outside of the gym.

Love this place !!

I first walked into Iron Tribe in April 2025 with only basic weightlifting skills & didn’t expect much, but I walked out wanting more & I’ve been keen ever since.

Chris & his team are genuinely welcoming & supportive. Chris has a calm, relaxed coaching style & focuses on small technique tweaks that actually make a big difference. In a short amount of time, I’ve learnt so much & I’m really proud of how far I’ve come with Iron Tribe,

What I appreciate most is that Chris cares about more than just the lift. He checks in, keeps your head space right & reminds you that life can be hard but you’re doing a good job just by showing up & staying consistent.

If you’re curious about weightlifting & want quality coaching in a supportive environment, Iron Tribe is a great place to be.

Iron Tribe is an absolutely joyful place to train and community to be a part of. Chris is both knowledgeable and hilarious, making training both smart and enjoyable, regardless of what you’re doing. It’s a warm and friendly environment where everyone is supportive of each other and no one gets left out, regardless of whether your training for a competition, rehabbing an injury, or are brand new to training.

The remote coaching from IronTribe has been fantastic. It was flexible around my busy schedule, it brought accountability and great results in my training.
When visiting IronTribe for competitions, I was very impressed with the venue and loved the community feel from the gym members. I highly recommended checking out this place if you want positive support and results from your training.

Could not choose a better spot to train at. I've been here a few months now and as someone who is in industry as a coach, there aren't many places who both have a community like Iron Tribe and coaching that helps you learn and get to the next level.

Chris and the team have been great and have given me a fun start to my weightlifting journey. Additionally they have made it easy to fit training alongside everything else life has to throw at us. Thanks team!

Never being into sport I wasn’t sure about joining a gym of any kind. Chris’s has created a place that makes everyone feel welcome, involved and challenged. There are people there reaching for high goals but my general fitness feels just as important to him. I highly recommend checking it out.

Chris, Iron Tribe head coach
About the Owner

Meet Chris, Your Coach

I'm Chris, and coaching is what I love. It started at 15 with a basketball team, and that passion never left. Since then I've been lucky enough to coach at every level: strength and conditioning in schools, Victorian youth teams up to under-23s, and international-level weightlifting and CrossFit athletes.

But what I'm proudest of is who walks through the doors at Iron Tribe. Every kind of person trains here, and most of them are everyday people ready to find out what they're truly capable of. They're done going it alone, done with gyms that leave them to figure it out on their own. They want a coach in their corner, guiding them every step of the way. That's exactly what we do.
