#1 Michael Cross. How did he start The Barracks Gym‪?‬ Becoming Badass

    • Health & Fitness

Michael Cross is the founder and co-owner of The Barracks Gym. We have been training Defence Force Applicants out of this gym in Brisbane for over 2 years now.

Michael spent 13 years in the Australian Army before deciding to get out and travel. Once he returned home from travel he knew he didn't just want a 9-5 job. He wanted to take everything he'd learnt over his 13 year career along with the lessons he learnt whilst travelling and turn this into a business. 

He went into this with zero business knowledge. All he knew was that his idea was awesome and that it would work. So with no Plan B, he decided to throw everything he had into starting The Barracks Gym. 

Lucky for you... his idea worked and it's the reason that so many of you have been able to enlist into your dream jobs.

Fast forward to over 2 years later and the facility sits in Albion, Brisbane (Australia). We have put through hundreds of applicants both in the gym and online. We have had a hand in assisting countless individuals through to enlistment with our mentoring and knowledge.
