Fitness and strength are for everybody. I believe we can all get stronger, live fuller, and be healthier.

Here are my coaching clients at @capppowerlifting Night of the deadlift. They're getting ready to hit the platform again this weekend.

Jay had never deadlifted before working with me and hit 165kg at his first competition.

Rhys couldn't deadlift without pain 12mo ago & hit an impressive 180kg on his 3rd attempt.

Michael navigated some grip issues at 162.5kg, but he's on track to beat his old PB this weekend at QLD states!

I created @mayhemstrong because I love helping people unlock their strength and feel confident in and out of the gym. Find me at @fortitudebarbell or work with me online to build better habits & stronger lifts.

Just like me, team @mayhemstrong clients are busy everyday people, not pro athletes. If you've been waiting for a sign to get serious about your training and make some gains- here it is.

I know how it feels to juggle a busy lifestyle and still want to be fit and strong. I worked nights and hospo for a long time, and I'm currently studying full time. I get it.

I offer flexible face to face & online coaching. Programs are app based and customised to suit your goals. It's totally cool if you're not interested in powerlifting either. My clients have all kinds of goals for their training, and there's no pressure to compete unless you want to!

I'm taking new coaching clients for may & have weekly availability for face to face and online coaching

As the 2026 comp season comes to a close, it’s wild how fast time flew these last 7-months. How hard our adaptive athletes have worked and grown, with back on back events. In Australia, being able to say “back on back” is an unprecedented privilege 🙏🏼.
It has been phenomenal to witness and get amongst the hustle of the Aussie functional fitness industry pulling it together.

I guess it’s moments like these when you really begin to check yourself and your awareness around the quality of people you’re surrounded by - and how much the CrossFit and HYROX scene is comprised of people so powerful in their commitment and their presence. Powerful in our world might be a 320kg deadlift or 20x unbroken backward rolls on the rings. But powerful at the backbone of this world is also the people who volunteer their time, level up their understanding, and scream and dance at the top of their lungs at the success of others.

There have been so many moments where I have been grateful for these people, but haven’t shown it. Particularly for the little community I have here in Brisbane - my team, and everything they’ve fought for 🔥. Bunch of very good humans. Grateful to have you in our corner and for all your hard work 🫶.

❤️‍🔥 Thank you

Specialists prescribe assistive devices for Cerebellar Ataxia progression.

We prescribe heavy deadlifts. 🦾

@steve573766’s determination, movement confidence and function keep ✨gaining✨ every progressively overloaded strength cycle.

Huge props to Steve for venturing out of his comfort zone these past few years and a massive credit @rehabrxd therapy assistant @merrynmayhem for the consistency and care behind these results.
Hard work pays off. 👏 by @merrynmayhem

It doesn’t matter what age you are, what injuries you have, what pain you have or what you’ve heard from your GP (who has no training whatsoever in musculoskeletal health).

A properly guided strength training program will improve all the things that -statistically- go downhill as you age. The statistics exist because historically, almost no older people do proper strength training.

Start easy, get guidance, don’t let the fear of the unknown stop you.

Speak to one of us, any of us.

Age matters in steroid-related harms. Younger men report more harms and more barriers to care — meaning harm reduction needs to be age-specific, not one-size-fits-all. Paper 3 from #GDS2024 #Steroid Module: https://doi.org/10.1177/1559827625140521 by @merrynmayhem

Nothing says girls night like good food, honest chats, and a few life updates casually thrown into a PowerPoint. Because supporting each other’s glow-up is the real main course. ✨ by @merrynmayhem

From announcing local powerlifting comps & fundraisers to huge livestreamed, National events in a matter of years. I started announcing 5yrs ago, to give back to the Powerlifting community

Last month I had the absolute privilege of MCing the Adaptive pairs division at the Torian Pro - Oceania's premier CrossFit competition & official qualifier for the 25' CrossFit Games.

3 huge days of athletes showing the world the meaning of indomitable will & the power of teamwork

Thanks to the adaptive community for welcoming me, to the phenomenal Torian Pro crew for putting a mic in my hand & letting me work my magic in and out of the Pat Rafter arena!

Inclusion in sport matters. At the pro, we saw adaptive and able-bodied athletes on the same competition floor, side by side. It was electric.

I'm proud to be a voice for this division, educating the crowd on adaptive movement standards, highlighting our athletes & witnessing greatness across the entire weekend

You can catch the world-class competition action on Kayo
See you all next year with the Rehab RXD team bringing the heat
