FACILITIES - CLAYTON GYM

THE PLAYGROUND

For all of your functional & performance training needs. From monkey bars, to ropes, farmers walks and sled tracks. Training should never be boring, so we would really like you to get off the stationary bikes, and have a bit of fun in these areas.

SQUAT STATION

Cages made by Rogue, calibrated steel plates, power bars, deadlift bars, a Glute Ham Raise and a whole lot of chalk. We have 15 squatting stations at our Clayton facility. That says a lot about us.

LIFT ZONE

Tons of flooring had been laid down to prepare for what you're about to do to those poor weight plates. Both of our Burwood and Clayton Gym cater for Weightlifting & Powerilfting. These areas will be loud, chalk will be used, and PB's will be broken.

MACHINE CENTRAL

Bodybuilders and physique chasers aren't going to be dissapointed either. From pin loaded to plate loaded machines by your big name brands. Also a whole lot of unique equipment you won't find in most mum and dad gyms.

DUMBBELLS N' BENCHES

What's a gym without dumbbells? (We call them smartbells here). Our Clayton gym have sufficient bench press stations as we know how Monday nights get. Also bench presses that are built to IPF competition spec, and dumbbells over 50kgs.

CABLES N' THINGS

This is another area that can get busy often, so we've got 2 large cable stations ready for the busy times.

CARDIO SECTION

A great place to start if you're just getting into training, or to burn some calories. Traditional cardio is boring. That's why we've got rowers, ski-ergs, curved runners and Airdyne bikes. If you don't know what they are, then let us show you.

BAGS N' GROUP ZONE

Sometimes you just need to hit something. These bags are here to keep you out of trouble. If that's not fun enough for you, we've got classes for you to hit them along with your mates.

AIRDYNE ASSAULT ROOM

Like a spin class, but you get to work your upper body as well. Find out what all the fuss is about with these Airdyne bikes. Cardio doesn't have to be boring.

TURF TRACK

Choose between a farmers walk, a sled, a strongman yoke, lunge it with a barbell on your back, or simply just sprint it.

STRETCH WITH A VIEW

We know how boring stretching and rolling out can be. So we've given you a hell of a good view while doing it. Overlooking Princes Highway, the gym floor, and awesome artworks on the walls. No more excuses here.

SUNLIGHTEN INFRARED SAUNA

Speed up recovery, detoxification, relax, burn more calories, increase collagen production, the list goes on. If you haven't tried, or don't know what an infrared sauna is, don't miss out any longer. Our infrared sauna in Clayton can be booked " HERE " on the website or phone us up.

CLASS VIDEOS

MILITARY FIT

Military style bootcamp. We've made this class
physically torturing and mentally challenging.

A super high intensity 45min blast on a Airdyne Bike. The bike is powered by both your arms and legs against air resistance.

and light resistance. It's fun, challenging and

CONSULTATION & ASSESSMENTS

Every member is entitled to a complimentary trainer consultatioN upon sign up, where you will receive a program suited to your needs. Our trainer will show you through the program, or to answer any questions you have regarding your training. We do also have the equipment for a Bio Electrical Analysis of your body. For $30 and 10mins of your time, we can find out information such as your body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass & distribution, visceral fat level and your overall fitness age. A great tool to track your results with solid numbers.

PRIVATE TRAINING

It’s hard to see the full picture being inside the frame, therefore even the best athletes need a coach. you always need to take care when taking advice from standard trainers as the industry standard isn't high. TD requires all of our coaching staff to have minimum of 2 years industry experience, or education. From Sports Nutritionists, S&C coaches, Sports Science graduates to Master Rehab trainers, so you know you're in good hands.

INFRARED SAUNA

Detoxify, muscle recovery, increased metabolism, more collagen production the list goes on. While a regular sauna heats the air around you, an infrared sauna heats you directly therefore the effects are multiplied. At the same time, much more bearable. Perfect for post training, relax, turn on some music, sit back and enjoy. A 45min session can be booked online, over the phone or in person. A discounted rate of $15 apply for all members, or $25 for non-members.

GROUP TRAINING

All classes are internally programed by us to ensure they are effective and friendly. They are unique, and are targeted at different components of fitness. Great for those who enjoy a friendly community, and the personalized attention from a trainer. Something we hear very often after the class is "I hate you, I hate this class. I'll see you next week."

A fitter workplace, is a more productive workplace.

Bringing you another episode of TD Quick Tips.
.
This is a very informative, 5 part video on the “Deadlift”.
.
Most of you here probably know many reasons why the deadlift is known as the king of all exercises,
.
but often they’re not executed correctly.
.
@coach.luke gives us 5 quick tips.
.
So watch it with 🔊 sound on, tag a friend and share the knowledge, and save this post for next time you deadlift.
.
1. Keeping the bar close
2. Weight distribution on foot
3. Keeping tight
4. Locking down lats
5. Lockout properly
.
If you find these videos helpful, let us know in the comments, so we can bring you more of them.

Don’t let the movement towards ‘functional training’ distract you from the most ‘functional’ one of them all.
.
“The deadlift is more functional in that it’s very hard to imagine a more useful application of strength than picking heavy sh*t up off the ground.”
.
- Mark Rippetoe

"There is simply no other exercise,
.
and certainly no machine,
.
that produces the level of central nervous system activity,
.
improved balance and coordination,
.
skeletal loading and bone density enhancement,
.
muscular stimulation and growth,
.
connective tissue stress and strength,
.
psychological demand and toughness,
.
and overall systemic conditioning than the correctly performed full squat."
.
- Mark Rippetoe
.
That’s why everyone squats at TD.
.
Plus you get a nice 🍑 as a bonus.
.
By the way, check out his squat positioning 👌

To those of you who are here on V-Day.

Would ya at least use the red plates?🤦‍♂️

Have you ever wondered what this little block is used for, between the barbell and his chest?
-
It’s called a bench ‘board’ (or block), used for ‘Board Press’, a variation of the bench press, to reduce the range of motion.
-
Why?
-
As usual the reasons can go on, but here’s a quick rundown on 3 of them. Don’t stop here though, do some more research before using them.
-
1. Targeting weak points within the range of motion.
Bottom range = Pectoral dominant
Mid range = Anterior deltoid dominant
Top range = Tricep dominant.
.
After assessing where your ‘sticking point’ is, you can use 1, 2, or 3 board to target a range. (Each side of the board is a different number)
-
2. Intensity / volume overloading
Those are a couple of key words in strength training.
.
The idea is to use a load that would not typically be possible for that rep range, in a full range of motion bench press.
.
There are psychological and physical benefits of doing intensity / volume overloading.
-
3. Easier on joints and tissues. Therefore can allow you to increase frequency.
Practice makes perfect, especially for novices.
.
But a primary consideration is that at the bottom range of the bench press, when the barbell touches the chest, the anterior forces in the shoulder are at its maximum, which can compromise tissue and joint integrity.
.
Especially when a novice athlete isn’t adapted to the training load. Therefore reducing the range of motion, can allow you to increase the frequency.
.
Bench board can usually be found on top of the reception desk.
.

Strength has no age.

Happy 50th birthday to Aghvan Grigoryan.
-
Aghvan represented Armenia 🇦🇲 in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics for Weightlifting.
-
He turns 50 today, and is currently preparing for a Masters’ Weightlifting competition next weekend.
-
So to those who are in their 20s and 30s and are calling yourselves old, please keep quiet. 🤫

(Fun fact, Aghvan is also @boriselesin ‘s dad)
