We initially approached ‘Strength Community’ to help Zac with his core strength, stamina and muscle building for his mobility issues. We never could have dreamed of what else has resulted from his sessions. With the help of Mick, Zac is not only building strength physically but also mentally. Zac’s confidence and conversation skills have grown and Zac is even wanting to attend the gym now when it is crowded – this is definitely well out of Zac’s normal comfort zone!!! We are forever grateful to Mick and ‘Strength Community’ for being apart of Zac’s journey and helping him become the great young man that we know he is.

I chose strength training for my elective because I want to be a weapon like Nat. I found training awesome because it was good fun and it pushed me. My coach is the ultimate weapon.

I respect Moose because he helped me get a squat PB and not get crushed. My favourite moment training this term was hitting a 110kg squat. I felt proud because it was a big PB. I gained a lot from this program, particularly safety, technique and confidence to do a program outside the gym.

“l chose strength training for my elective because I wanted to get my old Grid Iron body back. I found training fun because I can stay focused. When I am at school I don’t focus and struggle to stay in class, but when I’m in the gym I stay focused.

My coach is amazing because he has a calming and inviting personality. My favourite moment training this term was deadlifting, because I felt strong. I gained confidence by doing things I didn’t think I could do.”
