This November and December we are offering introductory-style Strongman/woman workshops with Coach Brock Dagellis.

Workshops will cover core Strongman/Woman events such as deadlift, log lift, sandbag lift, and farmer’s carries. Each session would focus on 1–2 key movements, combining technique work with a fun challenge or short circuit to finish.

Workshop #1 – Deadlift and DriveTuesday 25 November at 7:30pm – 8:30pm
Start with the foundations. Learn how to lift safely and effectively with barbells and kettlebells, building strength from the ground up.

Workshop #2 – Press and Power Tuesday 2 December at 7:30pm – 8:30pm
Work on your overhead strength and shoulder stability using the log and axle press. You’ll learn how to use your whole body to generate power and control.

Workshop # 3 – Carry and Conquer Saturday 6 December at 3:00pm – 4:00pm
This week is all about grip, endurance, and movement under load. You’ll take on sandbag lifts, carries, and farmer’s walks, challenging, but a lot of fun.

Workshop #4 – Strength Showdown Saturday 13 December at 3:00pm – 4:00pm
Bring it all together with a team-style Strongman circuit that’ll test your strength, teamwork, and mindset. A great way to finish the series on a high.

About Brock

Here’s my story.

I was 120 kilos, always tired, sore all the time, and didn’t believe I was the sort of bloke who could build muscle or lose weight. I saw physios for years, took pain meds, and spent too much on quick fixes while my health kept taking a back seat. 

I gave gyms a go, but always felt judged, out of place and like the weakest guy in the room. 

So I started training on my own in my garage, blasting loud metal music with some second hand weights and plenty of trial and error. 

I dropped 50 kilos, then swung too far the other way, and felt skinny and weak, so I had to figure out how to build real strength from the inside out. It didn’t happen overnight, but I’m a qualified Naturopath, been a strength coach for 15+ years and now the 2025 National Under 90kg Australian Strongman Alliance Champion (all natural, no roids). This means I can provide holistic health, strength and lifestyle coaching that fits into your life, not the other way around. 

Who I help

I help people who’ve never seen themselves as athletic or strong and who’ve almost given up on living without pain – take back control of their body and mind with honest, holistic coaching that fits their life to keep it sustainable.
