Iron Strength Power & Performance (ISPP) is a one-of-a-kind strength training gym in Cairns. We specialise in POWERLIFTING, STRONGMAN, WEIGHTLIFTING and SPORTS PERFORMANCE, but our services extend to any strength-based activity.
The gym is primarily OPEN GYM, whereby members train according to their own schedule, following a ‘program’ written by our ISPP coaches or sports specific coaches.
Our members range from professional and amateur athletes to people completely new to strength training. Whether you want to carry all the groceries in one trip; be the next powerlifting champion; become a better athlete in your chosen sport; keep up with your grandkids; or just want quality of life, then ISPP is for you.
The gym is jam packed with free weights and equipment to get you strong. There are plenty of squat racks, bench presses, lifting platforms, weightlifting bars, bumper and cast-iron plates, dumbbells and odd implements to lift, drag, pull, push and press with. There are a few token cardio machines though. We’ve brought back the old school strength gym vibes, in the cleanest and most organised space you’ve ever seen.
