Ethos Strength Powerlifting

My 14 year old stepson started strength training here a few months ago with Coach Sam and has been so happy with his experience at Ethos! The environment at this gym is incredible and his coach is even better. Coach Sam has a TON of knowledge and the time and energy he puts into his training sessions is amazing. 100% recommend this strength training gym for everyone but especially for young teens who are starting to show interest in power lifting.

Absolutely loved my session with Sam today. I am a 20 year old female starting out on my fitness journey! I booked a session at ethos to learn proper form and technique so I can lift confidently in my local gym. Sam was so knowledgeable and made time to discuss my goals for the session before we got started. As soon as we got into it, I felt so supported, learnt so much and left with so much more confidence knowing I could replicate the lifts we worked on. I will definitely be visiting again soon and recommend booking in a private session to anyone that’s thinking about getting started or even just wanting to brush up on their technique.

I reached out to Ethos Strength and Coach Sam to help with some rehabilitation over 5 years ago, and little did i know I'd still be training all this time later.
I started out with weekly 1 on 1 sessions + programming, where i amassed a wealth of training knowledge and deeper understanding of rehabilitation protocols. Over time i moved to purely online coaching and programming where Sam was as helpful as ever.
The coaching that Ethos Strength offers is up there with some of the best I've seen and experienced, and thats not even mentioning the helpful community that comes with the coaching.
The gym and community created by the Ethos coaches is a welcoming and inclusive team with people that are willing to go out of their way to help out when needed.
I highly recommend Ethos Strength if you are lifter at any level - or even have never lifted weights before. You WILL learn how to get strong and have fun whilst doing it.

I am a “masters” lady lifter, and have found the atmosphere at Ethos powerlifting and strength training gym in Adelaide to be enthusiastic, supportive, safe and accepting. The training is exceptional (thanks Sam), and the support I am getting to compete is second to none.
The gym is well supplied and clean, with competition racks and enough good quality equipment so that queuing is not a problem.
5 stars - would highly recommend for any age.

Ethos is a fantastic facility to train - they genuinely care about their members, have world-class equipment, and maintain a kind, supportive atmosphere for competitive training, fun exercise or rehab.

For anyone who is new to powerlifting or looking for a friendly, welcoming and supportive gym in Adelaide ethos is the one for you. I was really nervous when I first started with Sam and when I finally had the guts to do a lift class but they were put to rest very quickly. Sam, the ethos team and members all make the gym feel like comfortable and all are so supportive whenever your in the gym.

I completed online coaching with Sam from Ethos plus travelled interstate and did a powerlifting comp here and the entire experience online and face to face was incredible. The entire team is so knowledgeable and supportive and the community is welcoming to every body! Would highly recommend working with team Ethos especially if you want to get strong and feel supported whilst doing so! - Sally.

An amazing gym!
If you are into strength training or Powerlifting, this is the best place in Adelaide!
I recently moved from the UK and didn’t know anyone. Everybody at the gym made me feel welcome and at home, a great atmosphere and I have already made lots of friends.
There are lots of membership options as well to really progress and get the most out of your training. I highly recommend getting in touch!

I have worked with Sam Hall in Adelaide for the past 40 weeks for strength coaching/powerlifting which started off the back of a back injury. I was looking to get my confidence back in my own movement and in the gym. Over the past 40 weeks I have built my strength, physique and confidence to levels that I have not seen for years and I am very grateful for Sam's expertise and guidance. He is a phenomenal professional and a brilliant person to work with. Cannot recommend enough.

I've been training online with Ethos Strength since November 2019 after feeling lost with my training since not having a coach. I had trained years before with coach Sam and had seen so many gains. Although Sam was back in Adelaide, I could trust him to guide me and create an awesome powerlifting program. Even during a rough pandemic and (my) sour attitude about constant grand gym re-openings and closures, Sam was compassionate, patient, and accommodating. Since then, I've seen constant PRs and confidence with my lifts!

This gym has the higheat quality powerlifting equipment in Adelaide! All their bars are in great condition as well as the combo racks. They've got a pendulum squat as well which is guaranteed to destroy your legs! Supportive atmosphere and everyone will hype you up when you go for PRs. Sam Hall is a super knowledgeable coach as well.

I don't want to sound cliché but finding Ethos and being welcomed from the moment I stepped in the door really meant a lot to me. It has been somewhat difficult to move from other state but I’m so glad that I did it.

Like I said to Coach Sam on the first day, where I stopped walking and took a deep breath in the middle of the gym, “It’s the smell, Coach, and I don’t mean it's gross, but the mixture of iron, chalk, and a hint of food really reminded me what training was like before Covid.”

I genuinely missed the feeling of belonging to a professional lifting gym with no lollygagging or federation politics, a place of feeling at peace, but also a place to be challenged. Every sentence, every conversation I have had was enlightening and educational, and I love that.

Thank you for this opportunity to be part of it with y’all.

The last 8 months of starting powerlifting training at Ethos have made a tremendous difference to my life - and not just from seeing my squat, bench and deadlift numbers improve massively - but from becoming part of an incredibly supportive and inclusive community of people. If you are looking for a new powerlifting gym in Adelaide I would highly recommend the 'Lift Club' classes, the coaching by Sam, Dennise and Josh is excellent and the workouts are suitable for anyone regardless of experience level.

If you’re looking for best powerlifting gym in Adelaide ethos is it. You will be welcomed with great community and awesome equipment. The coaches at ethos are super friendly and there to help anyone’s needs or goals. Couldn’t recommend this place enough

I started training with Sam 5 years ago and it was the first time I’d ever seen real sustainable results. He truly cares about your progress and is constantly learning and applying new techniques to give you the most effective training possible. He’s created a great community at Ethos and I couldn’t recommend him enough, he’s the best in the business!

Great powerlifting coaches in Adelaide! Coaching ranging from beginners through to elite athletes, there's something for everyone. Very understanding of your goals and assisting you in achieving them.

It's difficult to put the experience of training with Sam at Ethos accurately into words.

Not only is Sam an immensely accomplished athlete with years of experience, he's also a teacher and that shows in his ability to coach and mentor.
The gym itself has such an amazing positive community within it, from the second you walk in you feel welcomed and supported.

Sam and the Ethos team aren't just performative about their claims about community and inclusivity, they actually walk the walk and do the work to make Ethos such a good place to train. Whether you're swinging in for a casual session or there training seriously to compete, you'll be cheered on and supported no matter what.

I've been working with Sam for a bit over 3 months and I can't imagine training somewhere else now. I can't wait to compete at my first meet with Ethos and I'm so glad to have make the jump to join the team here. I cannot recommend this gym, its owner, and the whole team more.

Ethos is such a great place to train for a lot of reasons. Great equipment, great location and a real feeling of support from the get go. I have trained with Sam, Dennise and Josh and benefited a lot from their knowledge and experience. You can do online or in person coaching and there’s always a good crowd present for lift club. There’s a real focus on lifting being for everyone and it’s visible in the different ages present- which just adds to the inclusive ethos.

Having trained strongwoman and powerlifting before and come out of it pretty disillusioned about the lifting space in general it’s been epic to have some limiting ideas challenged and new ways of both training physically and mentally set in place.

If you’re thinking about trying out powerlifting in Adelaide I can’t recommend Ethos strength highly enough.

I have been training with Sam at Ethos Strength for about a year now and recently competed in my first competition at the new gym. Sam coached me through old injuries to increased lifts, and a very successful first competition. Sam and the team at Ethos Strength are professional and caring, understanding life stressors, balancing this with a high level of training and nutrition coaching. Highly recommend!!

After competing in a novice powerlifting event at Ethos, I felt such a sense of belonging and community within the Ethos crew. I began training online with Sam shortly after. Programs were easy to follow and track, methodical and not only did I see all of my lifts improve but Sam helped me move through some limiting belief systems that had held me back for a long time. Highly recommend 👍🏼
