Heavy Metals opened its doors in 2018 and is owned by Townsville local Favian Arcidiacono. In 2015, strength training had only just started to become a popular method of physical activity amongst regular gym goers and athletes.
It was after his first Powerlifting competition in 2016 that Favian had a revelation: “Although strength training and Powerlifting is largely an individual pursuit, better results are found when you participate and train in a team environment”, and that’s where the seed that would grow to become Heavy Metals was planted.
Heavy Metals has become the home of Powerlifting, strength training, and athletic performance in Townsville. Our Coaches are nationally-accredited in Powerlifting and Strength and Conditioning. Together, they’ve created a supportive environment with a community of like-minded lifters. You’ll find our Coaches in the gym offering a spot, giving out technique advice and providing plenty of encouragement.
Heavy Metals offers a variety of strength training including powerlifting, weightlifting, general strength for health, strength and conditioning for athletes, and strength training for people with disabilities. All our memberships include full gym access, programming and supervision while you lift.
