Club Bunker Gym Newstead

Club Bunker Gym Newstead is a 24/7 training facility in Newstead, Brisbane, listed for the Fortitude Valley area, with an 800-square-metre space at 27B Doggett Street. It brings together open gym access, CrossFit, HYROX training and dedicated strength areas, giving members the option to follow coached sessions or train independently on their own schedule. The gym says easy street parking is available nearby.

Its main draw is the range of training styles under one roof. Club Bunker is an official CrossFit affiliate and HYROX Training Club, with structured sessions aimed at strength, conditioning, endurance and race preparation. The facility also caters to powerlifting, bodybuilding, Olympic lifting and general strength training, with dedicated zones and equipment including 12 squat racks, more than 55 machines, a CrossFit rig and sled turf. There are more than 30 weekly classes covering CrossFit, HYROX, gymnastics, weightlifting and conditioning, with sessions designed for different experience levels.

The gym’s broader set-up includes personal training, an InBody 570 body-composition scanner and an in-house recovery area with Normatec compression and Therabody percussion tools. Allied health services include physiotherapy, exercise physiology and remedial massage. A supplements, drinks and gym essentials shop is also available to members and the public. New members can use a one-day pass or book a free trial to explore the facility and train during staffed hours before committing.

Club Bunker presents itself as a community-focused independent gym rather than a purely solo training space. Owners Chris and Nicole Shaw are closely involved, and the website describes an atmosphere that is welcoming, focused and supportive, while still suiting people who prefer to train alone. It can work for beginners starting with guidance, experienced lifters chasing performance goals, and members who want flexible 24/7 access without giving up coaching or recovery support. The gym also has a beagle named Trouble, who makes regular appearances around the facility.
