Most people accept “getting older” as an excuse to slow down, lose muscle, gain body fat, and let themselves go.

Shane decided not to.

Instead of accepting the norm, he took control of his health, his training, and his mindset proving that strength, athleticism, and confidence don’t have an expiry date.

And he didn’t just “get fitter”…

He stepped into powerlifting, pushed himself completely outside his comfort zone, and now holds a New Zealand bench press record.

The crazy part? The Spartan army had soldiers fighting well into their 60s… the same age Shane is now.

Age is real.
But so is discipline.
So is consistency.
So is refusing to give up on yourself.

This transformation isn’t just physical it’s a statement that you are never too old to become stronger, leaner, healthier, and more capable.

Massive respect, Shane 👊

Progress is not always a straight line.

These photos are 10 years apart.

29 → 34 → 39.

A lot of people only see the end result, but the middle photo tells the real story.

That period involved some of the toughest years:
A shoulder reconstruction.
A knee reconstruction.
And serious life events that tested everything mentally and physically.

There were periods where training had to change.
Periods where progress stalled.
Periods where just showing up was the win.

But the important thing is this:
He never stopped.

Through setbacks, injuries, surgeries, stress, and life challenges Gunnar kept rebuilding, adapting, and moving forward.

That is what real transformation looks like.

Not perfection.
Not nonstop progress.
Not motivation every day.

Discipline
Consistency over time.
Grit when things get hard.
And refusing to quit on yourself.

10 years later, stronger physically and mentally than ever 💪

Rhys proves that you can completely change your physique without giving up your career or your lifestyle 👏

Working long days as a tiler, it would’ve been easy to fall into the typical tradie routine:
Pie for lunch.
Energy drinks to survive the day.
“No time” to train.

Instead, Rhys committed to the process.

Early mornings training hard before most people were awake…
Then straight into full days on the tools.

Day after day, he stayed consistent with both his training and nutrition, dropped unwanted body fat, and built a strong lean physique along the way 🔥

Not only has his body changed his energy, and work capacity have too.

This wasn’t about perfection.
It was about discipline, consistency, and making better choices over time.

Massive respect to Rhys for the work he’s put in and the results he’s earned 💪

Busy job?
Long hours?
Still possible.

This transformation is proof that busy people can still achieve incredible results 👏

Krystal lost an amazing 30kg while balancing life as:
• A full-time nurse
• A mum to 2 boys
• And still making time for her own training, nutrition, and health

No perfect schedule.
No easy road.
Just consistency, hard work, and showing up even when life was busy.

Over time, not only has she completely changed physically she’s built strength, confidence, energy, and resilience along the way 🔥

And she didn’t stop there…

Krystal stepped onto the platform for her first powerlifting competition and not only won her division, but also took home the award for Best Overall Lifter 🏆

From where she started to where she is now is nothing short of inspiring.

Massive respect to Krystal for everything she’s achieved and the example she sets for other busy mums trying to take control of their health again 💪

Penny-lee Tate journey is one of the most inspiring transformations we’ve ever seen at Spartan HQ.

She first walked through our doors as a client like so many people, just wanting to feel better, healthier, and more confident.

Back then, weekends were built around drinking, smoking, and unhealthy habits. Fitness wasn’t her identity yet.

But over time, Penny completely changed her life.

She committed to training.
She embraced discipline.
She built confidence.
She transformed not only physically, but mentally.

Now?
She’s not just part of the gym she’s one of our trainers, helping inspire and guide others through their own transformations every single day.

From client…
to coach…
to getting into elite condition 🔥

This is what consistency can do.
This is what happens when someone refuses to stay where they started.

Massive respect to Penny for the work, discipline, and example she sets for everyone around her 👏

Your past does not define your future.

Courtney Broughton transformation is about far more than weight loss.

After having her baby, she made the decision to take her health, fitness, and confidence back and the result has been nothing short of incredible.

She is 30kg down.
A huge amount of lean muscle built.
Strength, shape, confidence, and health completely transformed 🔥

But what makes this journey even more impressive is everything she balanced while doing it.

Being a mum to a 2-year-old.
Being a wife.
Working 3 jobs.
Still showing up for her training.
Still hitting her nutrition targets.
Still staying consistent when most people would have every excuse not to.

No magic.
No perfect circumstances.
Just discipline, structure, and refusing to quit.

This is what consistency over time can achieve 👏

Massive respect to Courtney for the work she’s put in and the example she sets for other busy mums trying to prioritize themselves again.

You do not need perfect conditions to change your life.
You just need to start 💪

This is why we do what we do.

When Chris first came to Spartan HQ, he was coming out the other side of cancer treatment and chemotherapy. The goal wasn’t just aesthetics, it was rebuilding strength, confidence, energy, and quality of life.

Step by step, session by session, Chris committed to the process.

Now look at the difference.

Stronger.
Leaner.
Healthier.
More confident.
And most importantly, moving forward again.

No shortcuts.
No magic fixes.
Just consistency, hard work, and refusing to stay where he started.

Massive respect to Chris for everything he’s overcome and the effort he’s put in to get here 👏

If you’re waiting for the “perfect time” to start, this is your sign.
Message us and let’s get to work 💪

Another incredible transformation from the Spartan HQ team 👏

When Sherrie Connelly first came to us, the goal was simple:
Feel confident, strong, and healthy walking into her wedding day.

Over the process, she didn’t just change physically, she built strength, consistency, confidence, and habits that will last far beyond one day.

No extreme diets.
No quick fixes.
Just structured training, accountability, and hard work week after week.

We’re proud of the effort she put in and the result speaks for itself 🔥

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own transformation, now is the time.
