Slaughterhouse Gym

Online coaching and one on one personal training at the new and improved Slaughterhouse Gym.

Wayne Howlett is back and ready to take on new clients.

*** UPDATED ***

Dear members,

Slaughterhouse gym has undergone significant changes.

We have upgraded but downsized our area, and reduced the amount of equipment on our floor.

We can still accomodate powerlifters, and two monolifts remain.

In addition to the multiple specific powerlifting bars, and eleiko plates, we now have a complete new range of machines, dumbbells, fixed barbells and newly designed platforms.

The owners have decided to revert back to a semi private system whereby a written application is required to be considered for access to the gym. This can be done by simply sending an email to [email protected].

Those members who wish to discontinue their memberships, please contact us and we will immediately cancel your membership.

A new set of rules has been decided which include -

* Nobody enters the gym to train without a current membership.
* Members must vacuum chalk or powder from the floor once their training is complete.
* No food is to enter the gym.
* No equipment is to be moved from its original position.
* Members must bring a towel for hygiene purposes and to protect the equipment.
* No work boots allowed.
* No infants allowed.
* Members must use wipes which will be provided to clean benches after use.
* No gym bags are to be left inside the gym.
* Return bars and plates to racks after use.

Please note - security cameras are now installed.

For those wondering about the future of powerlifting competitions, which were previously run at Slaughterhouse - in future they will return to exciting new venues around Hobart.

We are aiming for a Monday the 13th of December opening, so please email [email protected] to enquire about access.

Slaughterhouse classic is underway!
It’s amazing to see everyone come together and make these events happen 💪 goodluck to all lifters and a massive shout out to the organisers, your support doesn’t go unnoticed 💕

For the very first time I am launching my own full-time coaching service. At no other time have I committed 100% to assisting others, as my own competitive career had previously been my priority.

I am now available for full access online training, and one on one in person training at Slaughterhouse Gym.

I am proud to have achieved what I have in powerlifting. I started inside prison as a teenager, I was mentored by a prison officer, who witnessed me lift numbers that were above national standards for the duration of my stay there. What was to follow, I could never have dreamed of.

I have had the privilege of training with, competing with, collaborating with, and advising some of the greatest powerlifters in the world.

I was responsible for the worlds most famous strength coach Boris Sheiko’s visit to Australia, to conduct his world renown seminar, and I subsequently assisted in the international launch of his very first online training agenda and campaign.

I owe all of my own competitive achievements to Russian super coach Anton Solodov, who led me to countless all-time individual and total achievements including world championship medals and Australia’s first ever 1000kg total.

My experience in our industry is wide ranging and my connections throughout the strength world are far reaching.

My approach to strength training is basic and some would say outdated. I have to admit that the methods and techniques I have witnessed over the past couple of years, with all of my world experience, I have no idea what to make of them. You will not find me instructing someone to do rpz’s or ak81’s etc… or whatever they’re called. (Absolutely no disrespect to those who advocate these techniques). Call me old school if you like, but what happened to good old going down and coming back up with good form, repeating that repetition with precision until you have mastered it.

If you would like me in your corner assisting you with your training and competitions, please email me at [email protected]

There has been strange electromagnetic activity surrounding slaughterhouse gym in the past few days.

Power surges that can’t be explained are frightening the neighbours.

There is a eerie sense that something is about to occur.

Slaughterhouse demon painted on our wall has began to bleed from the eyes, and our members are hearing voices.

“They’re coming”

Who are the only 2 Tasmanians to ever bench press 250kg RAW in an official competition??
