Hey Fam,

We stay in our lane because you deserve the right skills, capacity, and space to thrive.

Stepping beyond the scope of a coach means we could unintentionally do more harm than good. 

And that’s not what we’re about.

Throwback to our Deadlifts & Donuts Event back in August πŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈπŸ©

Oops we are very behind on social posts … busy having fun on the gym floor πŸ˜‚πŸ˜œβœŒοΈ

We did a lift, we cheered each other on, no matter the outcome, we set up a stellar snack table and we got amongst it πŸ˜‹

Carbs are your friend and we will eat anyone who says otherwise 😝

Excited to have you all come play again next time πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

We have a problem…

Y’all are so damn strong that even our spotting and loading team needs more volunteers just so they don’t tire out.

So to ensure lifter safety and the smooth running of TTO we’re launching our Platform Workshop!

Where: Tgen Gym
When: Oct 3rd, 11am-12:30pm
Free event. Ticket link in bio for headcount

You’ll learn the basics of how to side spot and centre spot lifters of various heights and strengths across the Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift.

How to read the lifting cast which displays the weight to be loaded onto the bar for each athlete, and how to do the quick calculation to confirm the bar is loaded correctly.

We’ll teach you to properly configure a combination rack to accommodate lifters of all heights for their Squat and Bench Press

And how to communicate effectively with the platform crew so you can all move fast on the day, but not rushed.

This event is free for everyone!

If you’ve come to TTO before and have been thinking about getting involved please feel welcome to attend this workshop and join our staunch asf platform crew who keep the athletes safe.

To be part of the TTO platform crew it’s important you have experience lifting already due to the repeated stress of lifting weight plates up to 25kg from floor to often head height over a long duration.

Free ticket link in our bio so we can do headcount and prepare accordingly ☺️

Much love

Time to lock in babyyy πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

The TTO lifting seminar is taking place on September 19th, 11am-12:30pm at T Gen Gym, Coburg.

πŸ“’πŸ“’πŸ“’

We’ll go through all the rules, lifting standards, clothing and equipment, flow of the day, what to expect, and answer every single one of your questions.

Hell, we’ll even look at your Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift technique and make sure you leave with a solid understanding of what will pass at TTO and what will be given a red light.

You’ll have a chance to familiarise yourself with our TTO equipment, the physical space you’ll be navigating, and the athletes warm-up area πŸ™Œ

This seminar is excellent for first timers to learn the play-by-play, great for return lifters to get their head in the game, and the perfect opportunity for you all to meet your fellow lifters who you’ll be spending the day with!

We also encourage those who are thinking about participating at TTO but are unsure. This seminar will be a good environment to feel the vibe, dip your toe into the excitement, and learn more without having to commit at full-throttle right away πŸ’―

This event is free. Tickets are just so we can gauge numbers.

TTO LFG!!

TTO REVOLT β€” 𝗦𝗣𝗒𝗑𝗦𝗒π—₯π—¦π—›π—œπ—£ π—–π—”π—Ÿπ—Ÿπ—’π—¨π—§

Huge love to everyone who's stood behind The Trans Takeover so far πŸ‘πŸ™ŒπŸ«Ά

Your support has quite literally held this platform up. 

This event doesn't happen on good intentions alone. 

It happens because community members and allied partners choose to put their name and their resources behind trans strength, publicly, unapologetically πŸ’―

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

REVOLT is our fifth year, and we hope to be our biggest yet.

40 athletes, a full day of lifting, and a community that shows up in numbers. 

We want to grow what we can offer our lifters, our volunteers and our spectators, and we can't do that alone especially now when the attacks on our rights and our ability to exist is at an all time high.

This post kicks off opening up sponsorship, stallholder and in-kind support spots for 2026. 

Whether that's cash sponsorship, prizes, gear, food, a stall on the day, or getting your team down as volunteers, we would love to hear from you. Reach out and lets see what is possible together. 

Every dollar, every trade and every hour goes straight back into making this the biggest, best-run showcase of trans strength this country has seen.

In advance expressing gratitude for being a part of this incredible day. 

Want in? 

Email hello@tgengyms.com,we'd love to build this with you.

Tag a business/initiative/creative/service that should be part of this πŸ‘‡

Much love

Why we built TTO πŸ‘

Trans and gender-expansive people have been gate kept from showcasing their strength, resilience and power in both community level and elite sports for too long.
 
Told we don’t belong. 

Made to feel less than human, with a side of refusal to look at the research and evidence 

Told that the platform wasn't built with any space for us. 

So we built our own ;)

T Gen Gyms exists to change that narrative and The Trans Takeover is our loudest, proudest expression of why πŸ™Œ

We honestly hope that one day we don’t have a reason to exist 😀

Five years ago TTO started with gatekeeping by some big wig who said we wouldn’t amount to anything.

What if trans people didn't have to earn their place on the platform? 
What if strength was just strength?
No weight classes. 
No gendered divisions. 
No federation red tape…. We do have movement standards tho ;) 

Just lifters, loading the bar, and a room full of people who showed up to say we see you and we're proud of you.

This isn't a fitness event with a good cause attached. 

This is the cause‼️

Every squat, every bench, every deadlift is proof that our community isn't waiting for permission to take up space, we're taking it, together, one lift at a time.

We are inspiring and building capacity for our own and we can’t wait to see you on the platform

Much love,

For those just finding us, welcome babes.Β 

Let us show you what we built 🐣➑️ πŸ“

The Trans Takeover is Australia's biggest trans and gender-expansive powerlifting showcase.Β 

One platform.Β 

Squat, bench, deadlift.Β 

Three attempts at your best lift, same as any comp on earth.

Except here, there are no gendered categories πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ

No weight classes πŸ‘Ž

No federation registration standing between you and the platform πŸ™Œ

No waiting to feel like you belong because you already do, the second you walk in.

This November, we're back for #5.0

πŸ”₯REVOLTπŸ”₯Β 

40 lifters, priority to our trans and non-binary lifters, and a room full of people who came to witness strength and be inspired by the efforts of those that don't ask permission.

Sat 14 Nov, T Gen Gyms, Coburg North. Whether you're stepping onto the platform or standing in the crowd screaming someone's name, we want you here.

You'd have to be living under a rock to miss what's happening right now 🫣

As trans people, we are being talked about everywhere, on the news, in parliament, in comment sections with us very rarely in the room.

We're tired of being someone else's headline πŸ˜ͺ

The Trans Takeover falls during Trans Awareness Week on purpose. 

While the loudest voices in both online and public debate are busy arguing about whether we belong, forgetting the fact that we are human beings, we'll be on a platform in Coburg North proving it, in squat racks, on the bench, under the bar, surrounded by people who love us exactly as we are πŸ’―πŸ«Ά

Every year we run this, it gets harder for the wider fitness industry to look away and easier to believe. 

That's the point 😀

Visibility isn't just a hashtag or a social media post, it's forty lifters standing on a platform saying we're still here, we're not going anywhere, and we're going to show what real courage looks like. 

Every year community comes together to be restored but the irrefutable truth of what is possible.

Especially now, we need rooms like this one. 

Sat 14 Nov Β· T Gen Gyms, Coburg North

See you on the platform.

Much love

πŸ”₯ Communities that lift together - Live forever πŸ”₯

(or die an honourable death from the unfathomable kilograms 🀣😜 we kid )

We got the bass heavy beats, the trays of donuts, and stacks on stacks of weights

All you gotta bring is the attitude, team spirit and the willingness to cheer on everyone in the room regardless of how much weight is on the bar !

Saturday August 22nd 
11am - 12:30pm 
Deadlift max out sesh.

This event is open to all lifters who have had some time with the barbell and ready to test their deadlift strength! 

If you are still learning gym stuff but want to know what a max out sesh looks like, we encourage you to come on down and watch the fun πŸ₯°

Be the DJ and get the rock n roll cranking! 

Then you’ll have an idea of what to expect next time when its your turn to step up to the platform πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

LFGGG!!

Much love ❀️
Team T Gen

Ps: This is a free event, just need a ticket from our linktree so we know who is coming 😊 by @tgengyms
