Who we are

PTC began 16 years ago in a small family garage, where Max and his Dad, Markos, created a place for real, no-nonsense training. What started as a couple of racks and a passion quickly grew into a tight-knit community built on effort, respect and a love for becoming stronger.

Over the years, PTC became known for Powerlifting — hosting the biggest and best competitions in the history of the sport, and building a reputation as one of Australia’s Strongest and most influential Powerlifting gyms. Today, as PTC enters its new era, we’re circling back to our authentic garage-roots culture, providing expert coaching and the kind of supportive environment where anyone — from everyday people to competitive lifters — could feel at home.

After 16 incredible years in business, the gym has been passed down to Max and relaunched in a brand-new facility in Carrum Downs. With renewed passion, we’re building on everything that made PTC what it is — and taking it even further.

What hasn’t changed is our heart.
PTC still stands for real strength training, genuine community, and helping people perform, move and live stronger at every level. Powerlifting remains part of our DNA, but our focus now embraces all forms of strength — strength & conditioning, athletic development, weight loss, body recomposition and general fitness.

From the garage days to where we are now, one thing remains the same:
PTC is built for everyone.
