Fortress Gym

Two weeks out from our final 3-lift of the year and New Zealand Powerlifting United Nationals Qualifier FORTITUDE VALLEY ⚡️

This will be our first comp held out of our new facility @ 37B King Street, Frankton 📍

Street parking is available for all athletes, coaches and spectators.

Kai Cartel will be on site all day to provide the goods 🥔

SEE YOU ON THE PLATFORM 😤

Excited to announce our third and final sponsor for Fortitude Valley, resident bosslady and coach Kayla / Te Pūtake Strength & Powerlifting jumping on board to sponsor some prize packs for some of our overall winners 🫡 ⚡️

We’re excited to have SOLYN | Everyday Essentials Elevated on board as our next sponsor for Fortitude Valley! ⚡️

SOLYN creates innovative products designed to make everyday life simpler through smart, functional design.

Their first product, the Atlas Magnetic Gym Bag, was built to eliminate the frustrations of traditional gym bags, keeping your essentials organised, accessible, and always within reach. By combining functionality with clean, modern design, SOLYN helps you focus less on the little things and more on what matters.

Thank you Izy for your support!

FORTRESS IS ON THE MOVE 💥

We’ve been on the search for a new home for a little while now, and we’re excited to announce that we will be in our new venue from the 24th of August!

This means that Fortitude Valley will double as our grand re-opening!

MORE DETAILS TO COME 💥

We’ve been lucky enough to have LSKD’s support at every competition this year, and we’re stoked to have them back on board again for Fortitude Valley ⚡️

It’s always our goal to have our athletes walk away from competitions with more than just a certificate, and LSKD has been a huge part of making that happen this year 🙌🏽

Thank you LSKD, always appreciate your support!
