What It’s Like to Train (or Coach) at Club Bunker – Behind the Scenes
What It’s Like to Train (or Coach) at Club Bunker – Behind the Scenes
It’s easy to judge a gym by its Instagram feed.
But what’s it actually like to train here — or coach here — day in, day out?
This isn’t a hype reel. It’s a real look at how Club Bunker runs, what the vibe is like, and why the right people tend to stick around.
The Member Experience
When you walk in, you’ll notice a few things quickly:
The gym’s clean, organised, and not overcrowded
People are actually training — not filming every set
Everyone from first-timers to 250kg deadlifters shares the same floor
There’s no “beginner corner” or elite-only energy here. You train how you want, with respect for the space and the people around you.
You’ll hear music, maybe some banter, and probably a sled being pushed across the track. You won’t hear ego.
The Coach Experience
Whether you're a PT or class coach, you’re trusted to do your job — no forced sales targets, no unpaid hours, no micromanaging.
"I coach how I want to coach. I have the gear I need. And I’m not forced to run cookie-cutter programs for the sake of KPIs."
— Trent (PT)
Trainers run their own show — with support when they want it.
That means flexibility, referrals when available, and a genuine pathway to building something long-term.
What Binds It Together? Culture.
The gear is great. The 24/7 access helps.
But what actually keeps people coming back is the feel.
Members say it best:
“It’s the first gym I’ve actually stuck with.”
“Everyone’s friendly, but no one’s fake.”
“You feel like you belong — even if you don’t know anyone yet.”
That stuff isn’t for sale. It’s built, and we protect it.
Want to Experience It?
You don’t need to commit. Just come try it — whether you’re looking for a gym, a coaching home, or just a space to train without the noise.
