Tony started what is believed to be the oldest gym in Australia a few decades ago, with the local community needs in mind. The gym has seen many individuals and individual families pass through the doors with a goal of bettering themselves. Currently, there are a few sets of families that have grandparents, parents and children all training at the gym.
Paul's very first gym experience was at Tony's Gym, back when he was 17. He loved it and used to tell Tony & wife, Marlene, that one day he would own a gym like this. Years later, Tony asked Paul if he would like to buy the gym. That was back in 2007 and Paul & wife, Cathy has owned and managed the gym since, serving the health & fitness needs of the local community. Tony retired completedly from gym work not long later due to health complications and a change in lifestyle choice.
Loving what the gym stood for all those years ago, Paul has continued to uphold the values Tony's Gym stood for and members aspire to, values such as:
* trust * patience * family * respect
* integrity * hard work * imagination * dreams
* goal-setting & goal-achievement
Its a gym that has won muliple BEST GYM AWARDS over the years, the most recent being in 2008 - winning the BEST GYM IN THE NORTHERN BEACHES Award.
Tony's Gym, in a few words can be described as an Old Skool Gym .. with a Modern Touch. Its the way gyms used to be, where everyone knows your name ... where everyone - young (from teenagers) and old (oldest member is 81 years old) train hard, side-by-side ... where there is such a thing as gym courtesy ... where everyone respects each other ... where everyone talks to one another ... where, like one of our current female members commented once ... that it has sucha positive, social atmosphere, she called it the "Pub Gym" ... because everyone were standing around ... talking and training and laughing, while listening to music but without alcohol involved. So, there you go, it is a No-Frills Gym, that may be what you're looking for to help you achieve your body transformation goals.
Tony's Gym has always been a place where members came to improve themselves, where they work hard to look what they imagine themselves to be in the mirror. Olympia Champions like Arnold Schwarzennegar, Serge Oliva, Frank Zane and Franco Columbo have all worked out right here at Tony's Gym in the past, using the same dumbells as you would use today.
Tony's Gym has also always been a breeding ground for current and future competitive bodybuilding champions. 2 time Top 5 World Natural Bodybulding Champion and Owner/Manager, Paul has specialised one-on-one services to help you be on stage, should that be your goal.
The best way to make that decision is to walk up the stairs and come on in. Come on in to what we all call our "Middle Home".
