Our Story
WHERE WE CAME FROM
After leaving Newcastle for Tamworth, we missed our Newstrength gym community, so we decided to create our own. With over 10 years of experience and a deep passion for strength training and helping others, we created Home of Strength in our 30-square-meter shed in our backyard. It started with just a few personal training members, which quickly grew into small group classes until we reached our capacity at 50 members. We decided it was time to make the leap and put everything into Home of Strength.
We’ve been proudly operating on Kable Ave since September 2023, steadily growing our community. With our expanded space, we can now connect with even more of the Tamworth community. Our passion extends beyond fitness—we’re committed to hosting workshops and providing research-based education to elevate knowledge in the field.
WHO ARE WE?
Who Are We, and What Is Home of Strength About?
First and foremost, we are a support network. Before the workouts and the equipment, HoS is about people - supporting our current and future members in all aspects of life. We don’t see our members as just clients; we welcome each person as part of the HoS family.
Life can be tough - sometimes, it just straight-up sucks. With the growing pressures and stress of daily life, having a strong community like ours is more important than ever. At HoS, we strive to be more than a gym - we’re a place to connect, to talk, to laugh, and to find support. Whether that means offering a listening ear, sharing a joke, or referring someone to the help they need, we’re here.
And let’s be real - we love to have fun. If you’re not enjoying yourself at the gym, what’s the point? We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and we thrive on good banter and a great atmosphere.
That said, we also bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the gym floor. With over a decade of training experience, we’re here to ensure you get the most out of every session.
MEET THE HOS family
We are a support network. Before the workouts and the equipment, we believe that HoS has more to offer in supporting our current and future members in their lives.
We don’t see our members as clients, we treat each individual person as a member of the HoS family.
As a physiotherapist, Sam designs our programming to ensure every session is structured, purposeful, and effective.
No random workouts here - we follow a plan and set goals to ensure steady progress in strength and conditioning.
Sam is always available to modify exercises for injuries or post-surgery rehab, making sure everyone can access group fitness.
With a background in early childhood and primary education, Grace keeps everything running smoothly.
She provides free supervised crèche hours and kids’ classes, creating a warm and welcoming space for families. Above all, she’s passionate about helping people feel at home at HoS.
Together, we make a great team - and we’re here to support you!
