Is this you?

Tired of working it out alone.

You want to train properly, but big South Brisbane gyms feel like guesswork, and doing it solo has never stuck. Knowing what to do was never the problem. Having it handled is.

The fix

We own the thinking.

Your coach owns the plan, the weights and the progression, built around your body, your goals and your schedule. You show up and do the reps. That’s the deal.

Who it’s for

Built for capable South Brisbane locals.

Professionals, parents and high performers around South Brisbane, West End and the CBD who are done guessing. Small rooms, real coaching, and a plan that meets your body where it is.

Member story

Down 10 kg. Up 4 kg of muscle. Off the drink.

Harley walked in carrying chronic pain and using alcohol to cope with it. Today he’s 10 kg of body fat lighter, 4 kg of muscle stronger, and barely in pain. He’s a better parent, a better partner, and a better person because of it.

Meet the founder

Hey there,
I’m Coach Tony.

You’ve likely noticed our gym is full of very capable, strong-willed people. The kind that holds it together for everyone important around them.

A parent.
A leader at work.
Someone who naturally puts themselves last.

But you’re here because you’ve noticed things are getting worse…

More noticeably in the recent months, I might guess?

But you’ll sort it when things slow down?

Right?

Look, twelve years. Over 200 people. Every single one came in carrying a lot.

(not physically of course)

And almost every single one had tried something before. An app, a gym, a program a mate swore by.

But something didn’t fit, nobody noticed, nobody fixed it, and they stopped.

Sometimes they got hurt and never came back.

And the longer it feels like your body is working against you, the harder it gets to believe it won’t always be that way.

“I’m also a two-time startup founder with two kids under five and a wife who’s building her own empire alongside me. So when someone sits across from me in that first session, exhausted, overwhelmed, not even sure where to start, I feel like it’s my duty to guide them.”

A client I had a while back, a lot of people counting on him.

He said to me: “You saved my life.”

He’s still here because he showed up, and because someone believed he would.

(that was me, btw).

Tony, Co-Founder of Club Crux

“From arthritis pain to pain-free walks”

Before I started, I was in regular pain from arthritis and could not walk longer than 45 minutes. I had never been to a gym before and now I feel stronger, fitter and so much more confident.

“My knee and shoulder pain is gone”

I was never really a gym person. My knee pain has reduced, my shoulder pain is gone, and my body feels so much more flexible. Tony and Jimmy really understand our needs.

“From zero gym experience to confident”

Before Club Crux I had never been to a gym and felt completely out of my depth. The team has supported me through health challenges and helped me build real confidence.

“Holistic, welcoming and mum-friendly”

I learnt it was not just about the exercises but also nutrition, mindset and daily habits. The coaches worked with me to fit it around my busy mum life.

I started after many years of inactivity. The program is personalised, the coaches are very professional and it is honestly the best gym in Brisbane.

This is where you want to be if you are serious about your health and fitness. The coaches bring different styles to each session and the whole place is professional and friendly.

“So much more than a gym”

The best gym I have ever experienced and so much more than a gym. Mikaela and Tony are the best in the business and helped take my training to the next level.

Questions we actually get asked

The honest answers.

Shop 3 / 1 Cordelia Street, South Brisbane, in Brisbane One Towers on the corner of Cordelia and Boundary, a few minutes from South Bank and West End. Street parking is available on Cordelia, Boundary and Peel.

Both, done properly. Club Crux is a private, coached studio, not a swipe-in commercial gym. Every session is programmed for you and led by a coach, in private 1:1 or small semi-private groups.

Both have their place, and we’ll guide you. Most members start in private 1:1 sessions to build foundations and dial in technique, which suits anyone new to lifting, working around an injury, or who wants extra attention. Once your foundations are solid, you can move to semi-private 3:1: your own program, a coach watching every rep, with the accountability of private coaching and the energy of a small group.

Almost always, yes, and often it helps. With an ESSA-accredited exercise physiologist on the team, we work around and strengthen what needs it. Exercise physiology is available with Medicare CDM, DVA, NDIS and private health rebates, and if something genuinely isn’t safe we’ll tell you straight and work with your doctor or physio.

That’s the starting point, not a disqualifier. We meet you where you are, and that’s the entire point of the baseline assessment on day one.

Monday to Friday 5am to 7:30pm, and Saturday 6am to 1pm. Sessions are by appointment so your coach is ready for you when you arrive.

The intro call is free. Coaching starts from $185 per week for two semi-private sessions, and we’ll walk you through the options on the call so there are no surprises.

It’s 15 minutes to see if we’re right for each other. If we’re not the fit, we’ll say so.
