As most of you all know we had big plans for 2020 with the opening of PTC South Melbourne V2, but nothing could have prepared us for the pandemic we have all faced. Like many others, it has drastically affected our business.

Given the difficult circumstances, it is with a heavy heart and much sadness to announce that PTC South Melbourne will be permanently closing its doors as of
the 31st December.

Whilst this has been a difficult decision for us to come to, we want to acknowledge that the growth of PTC South Melbourne over the last 7 years would not have been possible without the contributions of many wonderful people.

We would like to thank our incredible coaches Alex Deken and Shenae Healey for their loyalty and passion in helping our lifters pursue this sport of the three lifts. They worked tirelessly to help us create the top-notch environment and community we are so damn proud of.

We’re also very proud to have been part of the journey of our members’ many accomplishments – PB lifts, podium finishes at sanctioned meets, National Champions and even breaking National and World Records. Outside of these accomplishments, it has been an honour to be part of the journey and the many shared wonderful memories that we will always cherish.

Thank you to every single member who has walked through our doors and became part of our PTC South Melbourne team over the past 7 years – we’re especially thankful to those who stuck by us through the pandemic this year. We’re grateful that you chose us to help you with your lifting journey.

A big thank you too to Markos Markopoulos for trusting us with the PTC brand and for welcoming us to the powerlifting community, both within Victoria and Australia. Whilst PTC South Melbourne will be closing, we hope that the lifters we have helped over the years will continue their powerlifting journey in some shape or form.

Last but not least, we’d like to extend our thanks to all of our families and friends for your help, encouragement and support over the years – it has been one hell of a ride and we’re glad you could be part of this with us.

Over and out,
Andrew MacGregor, Ruchell MacGregor & Charlie 🐶💚
