About Us
Where We Started
Our journey kicked off as personal trainers in your typical globo gym. It was all mirrors, guys pumping iron in one corner, and ladies glued to the cardio machines in another. Members felt like just a number; the focus was on quantity, not quality.
But we saw something different.
Our 1:1 clients thrived, achieving remarkable results. We knew we had to share this magic with more people. And that's when the spark for Dawn Athletic ignited. Personalised small group training became our mission. We blended the essential ingredients: world-class programming, expert coaching, and a vibrant, supportive community. That's how we got started – with a passion for making fitness accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
Where are we Going?
Our sights are set on crafting the ultimate gym experience in Brisbane. We want Dawn Athletic to be the go-to place for anyone striving to reach peak fitness and take their training up a notch.
Our mission? To foster genuine connections. Inside our gym, inclusivity is at the forefront – every person is valued, heard, and supported, no exceptions.
Our coaches? They're all about the individual, respecting each unique journey. Here, we thrive on growth. Our members boldly embrace discomfort to elevate their lives, pushing boundaries and conquering challenges. And most importantly, we believe in showcasing the incredible capabilities of every individual.
Dawn Athletic? It's not just fitness; it's about making health enjoyable and attainable for everyone.
Our Values
CONNECT
Feel Included. Be Inspired. Uplift and be Uplifted.
No matter what you look like, your age or your level of fitness, you have a place in this gym. While you will always be supported, we expect you to support those around you.
GROW
Push Boundaries. Embrace Discomfort. Do The Work.
While we believe that no goal is too big, you have to be prepared to do the work. You need to be brave enough to fail, because confidence is bred through action.
PLAY
Have Fun. Be Yourself. Enjoy The Ride.
While we love to train hard, we don't take ourselves too seriously. Life is meant to be about enjoying the day-to-day, not just the destination.
