A private gym in Fitzroy, built for strength training
Sharpe Athletic is a private training studio at 23 Kerr Street, Fitzroy. The gym floor is fitted out with Iron Edge equipment and built around how adults actually train. Squat, deadlift, press, pull, load the body properly, recover well. No mirrors wall, no classes running, no circuit lights flashing. Just a well-equipped floor with enough space to train without waiting for a rack.
The equipment
Four squat racks. A dedicated deadlift platform. A full range of dumbbells, cables, and lower-body assemblies. Everything you need to run a proper strength program and enough of it that you’re not queuing for the one rack the rest of the gym is also trying to use.
The floor is 150sqm. Membership is capped by design. Most sessions, you’ll have the space you need.
Coaching available when you want it
Train on your own if that’s what you want. The floor is yours.
If you’d rather have a coach in the room, someone who can look at your squat, adjust your programme, or build one from scratch — personal training runs from the same floor. One-on-one, 45 minutes, built around what you actually need.
Most members start with a few PT sessions to dial in technique, then move to independent training. Some stay on PT indefinitely. Both work.
Recovery included
A private recovery room sits at the front of the facility. Four-person infrared sauna. Ice bath. Included with every gym membership.
Contrast therapy isn’t a peripheral wellness extra here, it’s part of the training environment. Train hard, recover properly, show up again tomorrow. That’s the loop.
Who trains here
Sharpe Athletic members are mostly adults 35 and up who’ve had enough of commercial gyms. People who want to train seriously without a 24/7 chain’s lighting, music, or crowds. People who care about doing the work well and not chasing a transformation or a PB on the leaderboard.
If that’s you, the gym floor will feel right.
Visit the space
The best way to decide if a gym suits you is to walk through it. Tours take about 20 minutes. You’ll see the floor, the recovery room, and get a straight answer to any question you have about the training.
