Shire Speed & Strength - Caringbah, New South Wales

Jackson Twivey

Egotistical owner that is verbally manipulative.

He doesn't have the ability correct himself when he says or does something that is out of line.

I found my experience to be confronting and uncomfortable.

I would avoid this business if he operates in this manor.

Coach Pete works hard to ensure that you learn the knowledge and skills you need in order to become an independent, confident and effective lifter. Whether it is olympic weightlifting, powerlifting or your sport you wish to improve, SSS will point you in the right direction and give you the tools you need to excel. SSS has an extremely friendly, supportive and humble environment. Also my dog is a valued member at the gym, which is awesome. He looks forward to seeing you.

Shire Speed and Strength is the ultimate gym for improving athletic performance, with brilliant technical coaching and effective programming from Coach Pete, you are sure to out-do your previous bests in a mere weeks. And better yet, you don't pay a cent past your weekly membership!

Pete spends a phenomenal amount of time coaching his athletes and is always happy to have a chat - as a personal trainer and Exercise Science student, I have learned so many invaluable pieces of information from him that cannot be learned from a textbook, and I cannot thank him enough for that. Additionally, with the time that Pete spent coaching me, he was the first to properly identify exactly what my injuries were; injuries that had interrupted my sport for months, and ended up requiring two surgeries.

SSS is the home of several platforms, dozens of bars, and tonnes (literally) of weights, so there's plenty of room for all.
Go check it out if you actually want to make some serious progress.

Shire Speed and Strength greatly surpasses all other gyms in both quality and value. After training at a large range of commercial gyms Shire Speed and Strength has provided a rare sense of structure and support. These traits have allowed me to train consistently for a number of years and achieve goals that some people may consider in-human (perhaps even mole like). This gym is highly recommended to all who want great value, consistent training and a friendly atmosphere 🙂

I stared training at SSS last November because I was on a budget, it turns out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Coach Pete makes SURE that you know how to lift properly before starting you on a training programme. 9 months later, and at over 40 years old, I am able to lift heavier weights than I was during my 20s and have not suffered any injuries. Also, I have recently had to donate several shirts to charity as I can no longer fasten them across my chest.

If you are looking for floor-to-ceiling mirrors and elliptical walkers, don’t train here. However, if you want good lifting technique and functional strength at a very affordable price, this is the place to be.

Best gym I have been to. Don't come here expect frills and Instagram model's. Go to this gym if you are serious about results and lifting. Pete is the most knowledgeable coach I have ever trained with and isn't just a 20year old straight out of their TAFE course at the end of cycle.

I would highly recommend this gym to everyone. They cater for everything between basic skill installation to high level lifts. Athlethic performance, powerlifting, olympic lifting and general training are all fostered in the one environment.
The coaches are well educated, highly skilled and very involved with any client that is motivated and shows commitment.
The pricing is very reasonable, especially when you compare the value you receive for your membership.

Peter has worked with me since 2014 with the goal of becoming a collegiate football player. Since then, I have become successful with my goal and now live half way across the world doing something I love. Peter has been the single most influential person in my life outside of my parents.

I would recommend Peter to anyone who has a fitness goal in mind!
