Congratulations to everyone who took part in today's Big 3 Throwdown💥
There were some huge lifts on display, plenty of personal bests, and an incredible atmosphere from start to finish.
Powerlifting can look like an individual sport, but today was a reminder that it's anything but.
Every lift had a crowd behind it, every success was celebrated, and every competitor gave it everything they had 💪
A massive well done to our winners and to everyone who stepped onto the platform.
Thank you to our judges, volunteers and supporters for making the day what it was. Until next year!

After a brilliant Sn**ch Workshop, we're excited to welcome Katy Clarke back to Volentia for the next session in our Olympic Weightlifting Workshop series.
This time, the focus is the Clean & Jerk - a lift that rewards patience, precision and practice.
Join Katy on Saturday 8th August at 1:00pm as she breaks the movement down, shares her coaching insights, and helps athletes build confidence and efficiency under the bar.
Our last workshop saw everyone who attended make progress, and we're looking forward to seeing more of the same next month.

Before people join us, one of the questions we hear most is:
"Am I fit enough?"
The answer is always the same.
You don't need years of gym experience. You don't need to know what every movement is called. You don't need to be able to lift heavy or run fast.
You just need to be willing to start.
Every session at Volentia is coached, with movements adapted to suit the person in front of us. That means someone walking into a gym for the very first time can train alongside someone who's been exercising for years, with both getting exactly what they need from the session.
Some members arrive looking to build confidence after years away from exercise. Others come to improve their performance in sport or push themselves in competition.
Both belong here 🫶
Our job isn't to make everyone train the same. It's to coach the individual, help them move well, and support them to make progress from wherever they're starting.
Because fitness isn't about keeping up with the person next to you.
It's about becoming a little better than you were yesterday.
If you've been wondering whether you'd fit in, we'd love to show you what training at Volentia is really like.
Book a No Sweat Intro (link in our bio)and come and have a chat with us.

What a day! 💪
It was ’s first time out at and what a shift our 12 athletes put in!
Faced with an epic test of strength, skill, endurance, and teamwork, they did themselves, and Volentia, proud, all while having an incredible time. (No one mention the worm... 😉)
A huge thank you to the aflete co. and Cattle Dog CrossFit for putting on such a brilliant event. We loved every minute! 🔥

You don’t have to be the fittest or strongest person in the room to benefit from competing.
You just have to be willing to test yourself.
A competition gives your training a purpose. It asks you to step outside your comfort zone, manage your nerves and find out what you’re capable of when it counts.
Sometimes you’ll surprise yourself.
Sometimes you’ll leave knowing exactly what you want to improve.
Either way, you’ll learn something.
That’s why so many of our members are putting themselves out there at the moment. Not because they expect to win, but because they’re curious. They want to see what all those early mornings, tough sessions and consistent weeks of training add up to.
The result is only part of it.
The real reward is walking away with more confidence than you arrived with.
If you’ve been thinking about entering something, this is your reminder that you don’t need to feel ready.
You just need to be willing to give it a go 🚀

Not all progress fits neatly on a leaderboard.
It’s the first set you do unbroken.
The lift you no longer overthink.
Walking into the gym feeling confident.
Choosing consistency over perfection.
Realising that what once felt impossible now feels normal.
That’s progress.
And it’s worth celebrating 🎉💪

We’re excited to launch our brand new Kids Athletic Development sessions at Volentia 🔥
Led by Head Coach Nick Smith, an experienced Strength & Conditioning Coach who currently coaches at Princethorpe College, these sessions are designed for young athletes aged 11–16 who want to become faster, stronger and more resilient in their sport.
Running across two 2-week blocks during the summer holidays, each session will develop the movement skills that underpin athletic performance. From strength and speed to agility, coordination and body control, we’ll help young athletes build the foundations that every sport demands.
These aren’t just physical qualities, they’re skills that can be taught, developed and refined. Better movement means better performance, greater confidence and a reduced risk of injury.
Whether they play rugby, football, hockey, netball, athletics or any other sport, they’ll leave with skills they can take back into training and competition for years to come.
Spaces are limited.
