Not All Gyms Are Created Equal – Why Club Bunker Is Worth the Drive

Not All Gyms Are Created Equal – Why Club Bunker Is Worth the Drive

If you’ve been burned by big box gyms before, we get it. Overcrowded, under-equipped, poor vibes, and no real sense of community. Club Bunker was built to be the antidote to all of that.

And it’s working — because our members drive from all over Brisbane to train here.

The Equipment You Actually Want

When it comes to gear, we don’t cut corners. Our space is fully decked out for serious strength training, functional fitness, and CrossFit-style conditioning.

  • Full powerlifting racks (not half racks)

  • Combo squat/bench rack for competition-style setup

  • Rogue and Valhalla Strength barbells

  • Rogue calibrated plates

  • Dumbbells up to 80kg (yes, really)

  • 4x10m sled track for functional and Hyrox-style training

  • Deadlift platforms, trap bar, safety squat bar, multi-grip bars

  • A ton of pin and plate loaded machines

  • Fully equipped ‘Zone 2’ Cardio Room

  • Everything clean, organised, and ready to use

“I drive 20 minutes just to train here – the equipment is unmatched and the vibe is elite.” – Sam, Club Bunker Member

Open 24/7. No Crowds. Real Community.

We’re not in a mega chain. That means no 6pm chaos or waiting 20 minutes for a bench.

Club Bunker is capped for quality. With 24/7 access, members can train on their schedule — minus the stress.

The best part? The people. You won’t find mirror hogs or ego lifters here. Our community ranges from first-timers to elite athletes, and we all respect the grind.

“Everyone trains hard, but no one acts like a hero. It’s the most welcoming gym I’ve ever been to.” – Mia, Club Bunker Member

Easy Parking & Newstead Location

Located on Doggett Street between James Street and Commercial Road, we’re central to Fortitude Valley, Teneriffe, New Farm, and Bowen Hills.

There’s parallel parking directly out front, making it easy to stop in for a quick session.

So if you’re searching for:

  • A legit gym with a variety of equipment to suit your whatever your training style is

  • A clean, welcoming space

  • CrossFit and strength gear that actually works

  • A gym that feels like your place to train

Club Bunker is worth the extra 5–10 minute drive.
