My Story
We started BlackBx 'cause we were done watching folks slog through boring workouts, not seeing real change. Here, it’s not just sweat and reps – it’s personal, it’s got a system. People think we’re only for hardcore athletes, but nah, we’ve got beginner stuff and special 'Rebuild & Reset' for anyone over 40. Our best bit? The vibe. Saturday runs at Cubbon Park, wild treadmill challenges, breakfast chats after. We’re a crew, not just a gym.
